Vocal profile of Mariah Carey


Lowest note: G2(forced Eb2)
Highest belt: A5(screamed Bb5 before)
Highest note: B7
Exclamation: C#8
Vocal range: 5 octaves 2 notes
Vocal type: Coloratura lyric Soprano
Vocal grade: A+

Vocal positives:
She has shown to be able to go from the fifth octave to an airy whisper within the space of one word. Being a soprano, she has an unusual ability to reach the second octave. Her low notes are dark and heavy with a somewhat smokey texture to them. Her belts (G4-A5) are where she shines. Her head voice and whistle register are easily accessible. She has shown a unique ability to mouth words in the sixth octave.

Vocal negatives:
As she has aged, she is seen having difficulty accessing notes in the sixth and seventh octave. She has been lowering her larynx for notes below B2 which is a technique that could damage her voice. Her belts are now a hit or miss live because of some unintentional voice cracks. Her belts are not as solid as before and her notes get thinner after E5(due to vocal nodules)
