Farin Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 what's an "octave tone"? I only know octaves as the difference between two notes (as in 'one octave higher/lower than...') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 silly hungover me, I must've made up a term that does not exist. I just mean by a singer with the ability to sing in octave / pythagorean intervals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboXL Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I am not sure what you are looking for. First thing I can think of, is that the German singer who called himself Iwan Rebroff was famous for his mastering of 4,5 octave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_M Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 King Diamond has a vocal range that is out of this world. Check out any of his songs from his solo career or when he was with the band, Mercyful Fate. King Diamond "The Family Ghost" - King Diamond "A Dangerous Meeting" - Mercyful Fate I also like these powerful vocalists: Michael Matijevic "I'll Never Let You Go" - Steelheart Bruce Dickinson "Flight Of Icarus" - Iron Maiden Rob Halford "Screaming For Vengeance" - Judas Priest Michael Sweet "Always There For You" - Stryper Sebastian Bach "18 And Life" - Skid Row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lea Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 When I think of powerful vocals, I think of mastery and power of voice no matter what they sing. So, I'll go with artists. Ronstadt,Streisand,Houston etc. there's hundreds more I know but it's late so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Steve Perry of Journey ..... Don't Stop Believin' or if you don't care for that song, pick another. One of the biggest voices in rock, no matter how you feel about his music. Another is Pat Benatar ...... Promises in the Dark Both of these artists have big powerful vocals on their songs.
