Ambrose Kenny Smith (19.07.1992 - )
Associated Acts: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Murlocs
Vocal Range: E2 - D6
{Spoiler}{Vocal Summary}
Amby's voice is what you use to scrape ice off your windshield. He has one of the sharpest voices I've ever heard. It's the sort of voice I'd might describe as "child-like", in that he kinda sounds like your little brother asking for his turn on the Playstation. Which I know isn't the best pitch, but trust me, it really works.
His voice is unique in that he has the ability to seem comfortable at almost every pitch. He's very good at camouflaging his limitations. Even though his high range seems like it stretches out into infinity, his belting basically hard caps at C5. The rest is made up by a very malleable falsetto register, and his eagle-like head voice
His low range is better than you'd think. Man has virtually zero bass to his voice so his low notes sound a bit tinny, but he usually utilizes the lower parts of his voice relatively well.
Amby is kinda the shoe-in for King Gizzard's best singer, which is why they tend to save him for special occasions. But when he gets to shine, he always knocks it out of the park.
