Dianna Elise Agron (b. 30 April, 1986) is an American actress, singer and dancer, best known for her role as Quinn Fabray on the television series Glee. She made her singing debut in Glee's second episode, Showmance, with a cover of Dionne Warwick's "I Say a Little Prayer". Vocally, she is known for her sweet timbre. She employs a light, airy tone, at times to the detriment of her breathing support, as revealed in the acapella version of "I Say A Little Prayer", and it is virtually impossible to aurally differentiate her chest and head registers. Her singing voice generally dissolves into vocal fry under F3, also indicating issues with breath support. When performing live, she appears most at ease from F3 to F4. Her speaking voice is naturally very low, bottoming at C3.

D3 ("Bad Romance" [3]. "Control" [3], "Damn It, Janet" [2])
