Vocal Type:Coloratura Soprano
Vocal Range:Four Octaves and One Note (C3-D7)
Whistle Register: Yes
Vocal Pluses: Tamar Braxton finds her strength in her head voice and higher chest register. Her lower range is not as strong but is still well supported. Due to Tamar's expert mixing of her head and chest voice, her belting range extends all the way to a Bb5; having a very bright, light quality to it.
Her head voice is smooth and airy, and is well connected to the rest of the voice.
She is also able of singing notes in the whistle register, producing a tone that is not piercing but instead very smooth.
Tamar Braxton's voice has an uncanny ability to execute complicated runs, along with ad-libs, which she uses to add to the emotion of the music. Her voice also has a quick vibrato that she uses well.
Vocal Negatives: Under utilised whistle register, and her lower range lacks the true strength of the voice as a whole.
Thanks to Jerell for putting this profile together!
Her tone sounds so much like Mariah Carey's, not her timbre, but just the way it sounds o.o
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much vocal diversity can exist in one family! Tamar is obviously a very high soprano and Toni is a classic contralto.
ReplyDeletetrue!
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a few people. Very strange!
ReplyDeleteI have often heard of her talents but never really got round to listening to any of her material. Can anyone recommend any songs? Ps Love that you are currently loving Charlotte's "The Rise" I am still in love with that EP and Back to Scratch.
ReplyDeleteTamar is indeed a coloratura Soprano, but a darker voiced coloratura Soprano, she is Dramatic Coloratura Soprano. a voice that is little above lighter than a Lyric Soprano. she doesn't seem to have full sustained control over her whistle register but obviously she seems much comfortable singing in head voice
ReplyDeleteTry her song Try me. It was before her voice was as developed as it is now and her higher notes back then were more piercing. You can also listen to her singing with her sisters. She has the highest range and often has runs in their acapellas so look up the songs "God put a rainbow in the sky by the braxtons" "The lords Prayer by the braxtons" "Tamar rehearsing the national anthem" and "Run jordan by the raxtons".
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
ReplyDeleteI was watching her show this weekend, this girl has a greet voice, that reminds me a lot of Mariah's tone and texture wise ironically Mariah is her idol , but ishe is out of shape, due to lack of care and screaming and abuse. Im glad to she she is getting vocal trainning right now, as she was having issues jumping from her high chest voice to her falsetto voice. I think once she gets into shape she she will have a lot offer vocally
ReplyDeleteAlso try her new song Love and war. But the song that really showcases her abilities and that whistle register would be Money Can't Buy Me Love
ReplyDeleteShe is not a coloratura soprano. she is just a Lyric soprano capable of singing higher. if she was a coloratura soprano she would have a smaller voice that wouldn't sound projected enough and also with a piercing upper register
ReplyDeleteshe doesn't sound like mariah carey nor does she remind me of her ..but i love her voice tho..
ReplyDeleteI think her tone resembles Deborah Cox's.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. Will work it in!
