Amy Lee's Live Vocal Range: Eb3-E6 (3.1 Octaves)

[@shannonwelch2177]

I always wanted to see her in concert, but honestly I think i'd just cry in a corner the entire time. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful.

[@zigwai319]

Exactly

[@Kayleigh27]

She's AAAAHHHHHMAZING live

[@treborrrrr]

I'm old enough now that I've gone from listening to her/them because I just thought it sounded good, to have a damn near Pavlovian cry response to some of the songs these days. 2:32-2:36 was enough to set me off *sigh* She triggers too many memories of too many funerals and other things in life now...

[@bullridermusic2054]

Wow i couldnt agree more i know you posted this comment long ago but her voice is something special

[@Halo4Lyf]

See her live. It is absolutely worth the tears, trust me.

[@pixiebabe7733]

there is no doubt that Amy can actually sing live. I personally find her singing minus the band even better during those unplugged moments you can really hear her beautiful voice.

[@MartyMusic777]

Even though her low range is a bit foggy, the belts have power and grace, as well as being well-supported and correctly placed. The head voice is SUPERB and VERY well-produced, as well as foreward.

[@deniselisboa1]

That time when you realize that while you SCREAM your highest note, almost dying, she just sings it so easily on Weight of the world ;-;

[@7dayspking]

Falsetto.

[@hossamkandil8523]

actually that's head voice, not falsetto, so it counts as a part of her vocal range :)

[@7dayspking]

Hossam Kandil It's not head voice. You who has been raised on modern R&B might believe it to be so. The fact is that there is *no range* of HERS that would extend above these "head voice" notes in the video unless she extended to her whistle register. My point is that if she was asked to go up and up...she would never 'transition' into falsetto...BECAUSE SHE'S ALREADY IN FALSETTO. You may note the strain of her even high 4th Octave notes...and then the *sudden relief* (at least from a listening perspective.) of the notes in the high 5th/low 6th Octave. Actual Head voice is merely an extension of your full voice...and while it *should* be comfortable...it is not inherently more comfortable than Chest voice. It should also *not* differ in tone or colour much from our Chest voice...where as there's a dramatic shift in sound (to a very flutey sound.) when she reaches that pitch. In fact many of the "chest" notes in this video are already transitioning into falsetto, you can hear multiple vocal cracks during these performances...these are characteristic of a transition from full voice to falsetto...not from chest voice to head. Just because she's a female, does not mean her 'registers' are magically different. She sounds like your average male "countertenor" when in "head voice"...and countertenors (at least in popular music.) sing exclusively in falsetto. Her full voice vocal range given only the material in the video would be about Eb3 to D5...or E5 (None of her 5th Octave notes sound comfortable and I'm not convinced of her notes above D5...let alone that obvious falsetto F5 in the video.) Another thing I'm not convinced of is the pitching work in this video in particular. I think the reason you're confused is because she didn't *scream* the A5 falsetto note, where as you're probably attributing falsetto to the famous falsetto screams (although that E6 is obviously screamed.) I'm not sure why you'd expect to her to reach up there in the first place however, she's actually got a rather thick and deep voice especially for a woman, comparable even to a lower male tenor. There are many untrained women who are naturally soprano's who still couldn't reach E5 in head voice, being female does not mean you can inherently reach (especially if you're not trained to.) above the highest male notes.

[@deniselisboa1]

bla bla bla... she sings well lol

[@raek.r9889]

Denise Lisboa Same reaction, tl;dr.

[@2112mary-U2]

Thank you for posting a video for Amy Lee. I've always thought she was one of the best singers.

[@Varkoz]

maybe I'm the only one but i honestly do not care what there range is but more how there voice sounds, Amy's voice is one of the most hauntingly beautiful voice's I have ever heard. i guess so long as they have enough range to not sound monotone

[@jwhitloctombraider]

8:07 is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard come out of Amy's mouth.

[@ariek3873]

the ammount of chills i got watching this...

[@TaylorSmith771]

Her head voice is amazing. Her high notes is very light. Now she´s amolst a powefull voice. We want a new Amy´s range live. Great. She is a Queen of the rock.

[@Ismeniac_of_music89]

WHAT A FANTASTIC SINGER! I LOVE HER VOICE, HER TECHNIQUES ! HER WAY TO BE . EVEN IF I'M A BIT FAT, I'M BEAUTIFUL!

[@arcticbushpilot123]

I saw her for the first time at The Gothic in Denver just after her debut and all I know is that you simply cannot fake what I heard her do, repeatedly and consistently with her range....my GAWD! She's an absolute phenomenon and her live voice grabs you by the back of your head and demands respect because it's well deserved!

[@damienmanion4648]

If she didn't headbang and run her live range would be like double

[@pxblx]

B4 and C5 are her signature notes 😍🔥

[@2012nebula]

I'm probably Amy's biggest fan but I know she's not the greatest live. But it's obvious she can sing. Everyone has bad performances and she's constantly running around like a mad woman lol. But get her on a piano where she's not moving...yeah prepare to get chills. I love her and always will. She's helped me so much in my life.

[@meaganpezzelli1150]

when i was younger. my mom went through a depression because my dad was physically and verbally abusive and all she listened to was the fallen album.which meant that i also listened to it all the time (i was about 3-5) my mom was also an alcoholic. that mixed with my dad you could probably imagine i had a rough childhood. when i got older i started getting depressed, cutting, suicidal and anxiety problems. i was hospitalized several times for it. but one of things that always kept me going was music. especially evanescence.their music saved my life. legitimately. i remember having a bottle of sleeping pills in my hand when hello came on and i put them down and called 911. they truly are an amazing band.

[@baiibearr]

zack wall dont be a jerk

[@AzuraStars]

zack wall What the hell is wrong with you. If someone is suicidal, and had intentions of killing themselves, you bet your ass you should call 911. Not everyone is out to get attention. Some people have legit issues with depression and its very serious. You maybe need a dose of someone not caring about you when you're in need of some help. Fuck head.

[@AzuraStars]

Amy Lee goes very hard in her shows. Her vocal cords are pushed to the max. I sing in a few bands locally and there is no way in hell I would ever be able to pull off anything like Amy Lee does. I think having range and power is the ultimate weapon when it comes to singing. Its hard! If you push your vocal cords to the max like that, its going to strain. She surpasses a lot of singers even in her live performances because of how much power she can put into her songs for a long period of time. And yes, running around definitely has an impact. I really admire Amy Lee, always have. She has amazing control over her voice as well as putting the power into it. If only I was born with that voice!

[@larrylindgren9484]

Just think if she had just a little training. My Lord it would be even more amazing than it is now. And she's dare good now. She can go from that soft heart breaking voice that makes you cry to blowing you out of the chair 1 second later. She does have a rare gift few have. Just a little training and it would be something.

[@rikilikilee]

When I saw her live, she was immaculate with both her breathing techniques as well as her vocal range. Note for note as far as I can remember. Perhaps the times you have seen her were not her best, but all vocalists have their moments. There is no doubt she has incredible talent. - just a thought.

[@ThePianoguy89]

My favorite pianists is Amy Lee, Vanessa Carlton, Valentina Lasitsa, Evgenny Kissin, Alicia Keys, Horowitz, John Legend, Billy Joel, and Elton John. Amy Lee's voice is just so captivating as much as her pianistic ability!

[@Pengiefreez]

O-M-G! She has a nice voice range...dayum!

[@lovebug980612]

All in all, Amy Lee is the most talented woman EVER!

[@ahizela]

the start is soo haunting, i love it!!

[@anne91276]

I don't care much for either Madonna and Amy Winehouse's mediocre singing style but Amy here, has shown so much potential of being a singer. Her ability to reach the high notes without straining her voice is absolutely phenomenal.

[@horsegypsie]

I just played her vocal range on my piano and it doesnt even go up to her highest ._.

[@MaxRamos8]

Your piano must not have 88 keys then

[@ThePianoguy89]

She's one of the best female rockers! Love Amy Lee! I hope she comes back to the music scene maybe even as a solo artist!

[@ninnnnnilum]

Amy is a LEGEND

[@ThePianoguy89]

I am so glad there's a live vocal range video for Amy Lee!

[@ThePianoguy89]

Love her A4's C#5's D5's, E5's and her F5 in chest voice! Love all her head voice notes!

[@SirDave]

I love her voice. I could not hear that 1st F5 at all. The array of head voice notes starting @ 9:30 were epic!

[@kristacrouch2105]

I'm not sure if this is bragging, but I love evanescence. I love all of there songs and I have been told that i sing similarly to her. I was singing along with all the notes and I'm not sure since I haven't had any vocal lessons but I am in band, but I think that I was pretty close to a lot of the notes that she sang in this.

[@ThePianoguy89]

@WestVoice Thank You for uploading this. Amy is one of favorite singers and pianists! I love playing her piano pieces. She has a very beautiful voice!

[@VaunTV]

I love her voice. Loves her B4 notes. I love her head voice. Great video!

[@robsonfreitas6477]

you chest is unique too

[@raquelcorreia2295]

Amy Lee is soprano! not mezzosoprano as almost people say and it´s my fav singer. AMAZING!!! I love her!

[@lil_weasel219]

Cut the crap, Floor's voice is deep because she's a dramatic soprano, Amy's isn't :')

[@davidmuller9938]

Music Chanel Gruberova is a leggiero lyric, who has great technique to be a coloratura, Sutherland is a dramatic coloratura, Norman is most likely a Falcon :D if u wanna search dramatic soprano go for Leyla Gencer, Birgit Nilsson, Astrid Varnay, Eva Marton at her later years or Leontyne Price at her later years. and Amy is a soprano lyric

[@WestVoice]

@Stefano94x Thanks for checking out. I agree, for Amy Lee and Evanescence, it's really about taste since she doesn't sing pop or even mainstream rock.

[@cedgson91]

This is fascinating, thank you

[@makurradoshi4498]

Every time I hear her voice I cry because of its clarity, power and beauty. It's happening as I type this of course 🤣 I realized I could sing by singing Evanescence, and it reawoke the dream in me to be a singer that started when I saw The School of Rock in like 2006. She's the mentor I've never met. If I ever got to meet her or even just see her live I will die happy

[@WestVoice]

@DanielAlexis17 Crescendo means "gradual increase in loudness", that D5 at 5:56 is crescendo because she started the D5 softly then while she was sustaining it, she gradually added more power to it, making it gradually louder until the end the of note.

[@musicguy713]

Beautiful voice she has. Very unique especially for a rock singer but she's very good and it really sets her and the band apart from every other band out there. Her voice has come a long way too based off of her singing reflection in the bootleg. Great Eb5 at 7:07, nice job :)

[@paguroshow8881]

I really like her highest note in chest voice !

[@7dayspking]

It's not actually in chest voice, this list suffers from "female voiceitis" in which people intentionally label female falsetto notes as Head voice...and *all* full voice notes as "chest"

[@paguroshow8881]

Some B4s and C5s I heard are in chest voice!

[@7dayspking]

Paguro Show Probably more so mixed, also some? There wasn't exactly an abundance of notes in this video...

[@lunarscorpio3987]

I swear, I want to sing like her.

[@bxiaiao]

Your videos are always so wonderful！Her voice sounds very special！

[@sanizin]

her C#6 is amazing

[@mikeKidLazy]

I think it would be safe to say her range is even bigger than that, at least judging by her live performance of "Break In" with Lzzy Hale.

[@ThePianoguy89]

@WestVoice She has amazing technique and she is very swift doing rubatos and cadenzas. I love her Beethoven performances too!

[@WestVoice]

@ThePianoguy89 Thanks for checking out. I think Evanescence is recording their new album now :)

[@islandlife89]

[@LadyStarAussie]

@AVoiceToBeHeard21 That is 'Good Enough' track 13 on the Open Door. She wrote it for her Husband Josh :)

[@ThePianoguy89]

@Stefano94x Oh yes! Toni highest live sustained note is an A5 in head voice in Love Shoulda Brought You Home, and maybe a Bb5 or B5 with exclamation in the same song. You are good with pitch, maybe you are able to tell me. Here's the video watch?v=lsuI-gZrTtA.

Listen to epica's first and last album. It's the best example. Simone was already sounding perfect but she trained to increase her range and masterize every octave. She now sounds epic.

[@nanborg65]

Very, very nice way to do a voice analysis!! Well presented and very easy to follow. Only thing is that since you used mostly live footage, sometimes the voice is a little hard to hear. But very nice approach!

[@nathanielz6136]

From 9:09 - 9:22 is SO FUNNY!!! I chuckle EVERY time I hear that. She's singing operatically but it just sounds funny IN THAT MOMENT....It took her friends off-guard, too...and.... I love her beautiful hair.....

she is also mezzo soprano

[@Moonlight-xk9yl]

No, soprano

[@LintuLumessa]

she is dramatic soprano

[@newhuskytwenty]

Right!, well said. I don't see opera singers moving continously, both things seem to be incompatible.I guess we'll see a new Amy Lee in the near future, with a different genre not far away from the rock but as a solist. That would be a logical evolution for such a great singer.
