An absolute powerhouse vocalist with exceptionally stellar belting prowess, Lara's known by-and-large known for her emotive ballads which are carried by her potent voice. Capable of singing in a number of different languages, her upper chest register is superbly well-supported and consistent, with Lara's excellent mastery over dynamics leading to her live performances feeling dramatic and powerful. While her lower register is somewhat inconsistent in quality, it's worth mentioning how her incredible her technique is - she never sounds as if she's struggling or straining, and her concerts today sound no different to how they did in the '90s.

Dramatic, belty, fantastic.


A much more restrained vocal performance showcasing how technically skilled Lara is.

{Questionable Notes}
E3 ("Je suis malade"^[1])

...................................................................
1. Questionable low notes (airy, anacrusis, etc.).
...................................................................
Questionable notes are any notes of questionable significance. In short, this spoiler acknowledges notes that I am aware exist, but do not want to contribute to the singer's range. These involve (but are not limited to) notes of questionable identity, notes of questionable legitimacy and notes of significantly poor quality.

Notewatching of other performances not listed above done by Alex61, credits to g for the OP and thanks to darby for allowing me to work on Lara!

[Alex61]

darby I've uploaded this in WIP so you can add any performances/albums you want to notewatch :P

g I checked over your old research (which was mostly accurate) and made a few minor changes, most notably removing the B♭4 section (because if she's belting up to F5 consistently, B♭4 doesn't really feel like a significant note for her) and removing blue, which I only reserve for obvious female falsetto and whistle register. If you want me to message you your old OP I'm happy to do that (there were a few performances I couldn't find just by a quick YouTube search) and, as I said with Dar, feel free to notewatch/post anything you see fit :)

(PS - I'm open to taking low bold suggestions)

Great job!! May I ask why no blue notes though? 

[g]

Wonderful job!! I just can't get tired listening to Lara's voice. :)
