Avril Ramona Lavigne
Voice Type: Soprano
Vocal Range: D3 - C6
{Background & Vocal Summary:}Avril Lavigne is a Canadian singer-songwriter and actress known for hit songs such as "Girlfriend", "Complicated" and "I'm With You". She originally began her career singing guest vocals on some songs before getting signed to "Arista Records". In 2002 she released her debut album titled "Let Go", which received positive reviews and spawned successful songs such as "Complicated" and "I'm With You". She eventually released her follow-up album in 2004 titled "Under My Skin". The album was considerably darker when compared to her debut and despite decent reviews, the album was not as successful as her debut. After several years had passed, she released her third album "The Best Damn Thing" in 2008 to positive reviews and it featured one of her most (arguably) successful songs to date titled "Girlfriend". Her next album which she released in 2011 was considerably slower and more personal. The album was titled "Goodbye Lullaby" and received mixed reviews with some calling it "personal and honest" while other people called it "boring and unfun". Three months after the release, she announced that she was already working on her next album. The album was released in 2013 and self-titled as "Avril Lavigne". The album received positive reviews from critics as opposed to her previous record somewhat. Since then, she is currently working on her next studio album and has released a single called "Fly" for the 2015 Special Olympics and will likely release more material later this year.
Avril possesses a bright and energetic voice, appearing to be a soprano. Being described occasionally as "spunky", Avril is known for her fun and energetic performances when it comes to her vocals and has kept her voice in good shape over the past decade or so. Despite being a soprano, she does have a solid lower register ("Complicated", "Give You What You Like", "Sippin' On Sunshine") accompanied by some powerful fifth octave belts ("Wish You Were Here", "Alice", "Hot") that seem almost effortless for her. Avril has proven herself to be a more than capable vocalist and can sing whatever genre she's singing well for the most part. Avril is usually consistent when singing live although she may falter occasionally. She is also capable of sustaining notes for an impressive amount of time. Overall, Avril is an energetic vocalist who usually gives solid vocal performances in

{Questionable Notes:}E6 ("Hello Kitty")
C♯6 ("Hello Kitty", "One Of Those Girls")
Any of the "squeaks", shouts or fry notes from "I Don't Have To Try" (as well as some other songs) do not count towards her range and thus would go here.
