{Description}
Irish singer and actress Jessie Buckley made her first foray into the public's consciousness on the BBC talent show "I'd Do Anything", in which she was the runner-up to taking the role of Nancy in Andrew Lloyd Webber's rendition of the musical "Oliver!". Since then, she has appeared in various renditions of plays and musicals ("The Tempest", "Cabaret", "Romeo and Juliet"), as well as acclaimed roles in films and TV ("Chernobyl", "I'm Thinking Of Ending Things", "Wild Rose", season 4 of "Fargo" (in which she was the best part, hope we can agree)). Having recently released an album of original music in collaboration with legendary guitarist Bernard Butler, it's virtually impossible to discuss Buckley without mentioning her powerful singing voice.
While versatile and capable of switching styles depending on the project (such as adopting a mix between a Scottish accent and a Southern United States country twang for her role in "Wild Rose" or considerably lightening her tone for performances with the Tipperary Millennium Orchestra), Buckley's potent belting is very likely her standout trait as a vocalist. Her belting around the upper 4th octave and lower 5th octave goes off with earthshattering strength, with vibrato and grit to boot. Her natural tone is somewhat husky, though not particularly low-placed. Considering her use of rasp and very loud belts, her voice is very well maintained and still delivers agile mellismas and long sustained belts. Besides her belt/mixed belting register, Buckley displays a competent falsetto on a few songs and a decent lower register that remained somewhat deemphasized until the album "For All Our Days That Tear the Heart". Based on most of the tracks on that record (and her speaking voice I guess), she displays comfort into the mid-to-lower 3rd octave. Overall, a very skillful, naturally strong voice from a highly talented performer.
