{Description}
Arguably one of the best singers to not have his own discography, actor, producer and director Kelsey Grammer's distinctive, resonant voice gets to showcase itself often in his work. His placement is relatively low, boasting very strong 2nd octave notes (his F2's really are a thing of beauty). Regardless, his rich baritone voice remains comfortable anywhere from the bottom of the 2nd octave to the middle of the 4th. He sings in his operatic chest voice most of the time, with his capable sounding falsetto register being seldom used. Even in his 60's, Grammer's voice sounds about as strong as ever. Add that to his beloved performances of characters such as Dr. Frasier Crane and Sideshow Bob and you have a legacy as an entertainer that is sure to endure for years to come.
