Karen Clark-Sheard- Vocal Range/ Profile




Vocal TypeSoprano
Vocal Range: 2 Octaves  5 Notes and a semitone F3-Eb6
Whistle Register: Yes
Vocal Pluses: Voice that is rooted in the emotive Gospel music. Incredibly agile voice that allows for complex melisma up and down the different parts of the range, as well as the ability to manipulate it into healthy sounding grunts and growls. Mixes her head and chest voice ably to create sustainable, and masterful upper fifth octave belting.
Vocal Negatives: Higher head notes sound shrill.

  2. I can't believe that that is her range! Are you sure that she doesn't go beyond 4 octaves? What about God's Favour with Kim Burrell. This a woman who artistes like Mariah Carey and Beyonce look up to.

  3. Hey Ntn2, You've written a lot of the "corrections" without explaining why you think so. I'd appreciate if you'd expand your answers a bit more so I can either correct the profiles or not.

  5. This is not correct. I had to thoroughly research Karen Clark's work. She has years of material. Her range is much wider. Also the highest recorded note I damn think of from recent work is in You Showed Me.
