Imogen Jennifer Heap
Voice Type: Mezzo-Soprano
Vocal Range: B2 - D6
Associated Acts: Acacia (1993 - 1997), Frou Frou (2002 - 2004, 2017 - present), Solo (1998 - present)
{Vocal Summary:}Imogen's voice is that of a mezzo-soprano, showing great comfort in her lows and highs. Her lower register is used quite frequently and is a highlight of her voice, she shows great comfort singing here with notes being strong and rather consistent down to the bottom of the third octave ("Maddening Shroud", "Not Now But Soon", "Bad Body Double"). As with her lows, Imogen performs rather well in her highs too (particularly falsetto and head voice). She shows great comfort, strength and ease being able to sing consistently in her upper register without faltering in pitch. Notes are also rather pleasant in the mid-fifth octave ("The Walk", "Must Be Dreaming", "The Moment I Said It"). Sadly Imogen has shown to struggle with belting as she has only shown capability to belt up to around E♭5 while she begins to show signs of straining around the A4/B♭4 area. She performs well live and usually stays on pitch and even occasionally adds extra notes to some songs. Imogen can change the tone or volume of her voice in order to sound softer or rougher to match the sound of the song and add emotion. Overall, while Imogen may falter when it comes to belting, she possesses (in my opinion) a rather lovely voice and excels in most areas of it.
