Elizabeth Stokes
Also Known As: Liz Stokes
Associated Act: The Beths
Vocal Range: E3 - F♯5
{Vocal Summary}Elizabeth Stokes is the lead singer and songwriter for the New Zealand indie rock band "The Beths".
Liz's vocals are very sweet and soft, like a comfy blanket. She's a conservative vocalist, often staying in her comfort zones and letting her extremely pleasant tone and fun, sincere songwriting do the heavy lifting, rather than her technical ability. Her voice contains a warm third octave, with some pretty decent resonance down to E3, and a delicate head voice, which she consistently uses up to the lower fifth octave. Liz isn't much of a belter, and in live performances of the band's chestier songs, it's apparent she lacks confidence in that area, often sounding like she's trying not to disturb her mother sleeping in the other room.
The Beths are still a relatively young band, and Liz's vocals and songwriting are improving with every release. She does have areas she could improve in vocally, but she also has a damn good foundation.
