Vocal Type: Mezzo-Soprano
Whistle Register: No
Vocal Range: 2.7 octaves (C3-B5 approx)
Vocal Pluses: Powerful, passionate, multifaceted voice. Not only is it an expressive and well controlled instrument, but it's one that doesn't weigh on melisma to impress (though she is capable of using this vocal technique if required [
Do What U Want] ). With her excellent breath control and knowledge, the Diva can hold notes [
Fashion], jump octaves [
Venus], and play with vocal dynamics at will [
Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered].
Lady Gaga's low notes are well supported, and have a dark, solid and medium weight to them [
Scheiße]. The mid-range is as chameleonesque as Gaga herself. It can be controlled, measured and mature [
Fashion]; theatrical, poised and smooth [
Lady Is A Tramp]; guttural, raw and raspy [
Dope]; or made perfect for pop music with the character stripped back, and a light, bright quality used [
Poker Face]. All this vocal variety stems from Gaga's excellent understanding of placement and technique.
