The bottom line is it's preposterous to analyze his vocals while performing this song, his vocal performance is 100-percent computer automation. Pick a different song using his vocals, one that hasn't been processed by technology like a microwaved piece of rancid meat. Although I get the sense finding one would be extremely challenging to locate.

I was just wondering that point today and there was your video in my feed! When he sings Sound of Silence he is so animated and present. Lots of expression and power in the right places, lots of variation. But when he talks in comparison, to me it is almost a different person. He sounds relaxed and even, almost too chilled, very gentle and unconcerned. I was expecting some kind of dynamic when he spoke, something that sits me up to listen in the right places. His speaking voice seems so disconnected from his singing presence. Even when he introduces himself at the beginning of his talks its just completely so nonchalant and unassuming. Leaves me wanting that "I am David Draiman and...." that sits me up and says "have I got your interest and attention?" I guess that is because of the hit his cover gives with such rich perfection and variations and animation, leaves one an addict for more. That being said the contrast of performance and person helps not to stereotype the "person with the actor". He seems like a really nice person, calm, kind, thoughtful, intelligent and somewhat detached in a healthy way. Bit like a Buddha Draiman. The contrast blows my mind as much as his cover song. 🙃😄

The autotune is very limited, not at all in the low range. He was very sick, could barely stand (which is why he is sitting on a stool, the band was worried about him).
