Strengths/Achievements Extensive mixed range Very healthy and steady vibrato Control of light mix and balance mix is present Voice is very controlled even above his supported range Support is present in his lower range down to E3 Able to support notes as high as G4 consistently Falsetto is usually relaxed and controlled up to C#5 Improvement in pitch and stability Able to eliminate nasality at times Has been able to show connection with head voice Weaknesses Swallowing muscles, throat and tongue show tension quite often Underdeveloped lower range, often airy and quiet Mixed voice lacks the development of chest resonance Nasality is often present in his singing Falsetto could be more developed and is overly airy at times High larynx above G#4 Vocal runs is not very accurate nor agile Often sings in a range above his supported range, abusing the extension of his range with improper technique Voice can at times be small and sound pushed when trying to create more volume Registers Lower register: Generally quiet and airy, this register seems to be the part of his voice least used and where he least shows any kind of care for development. The range is also quite limited, only having reportedly shown the ability to hit C#3, his low range is generally quiet and airy, although tone is almost always present. Mixed register: This register is where he tries to sing the most, he abuses the extension he possesses and the fact he can go as high as F5 in his mix. Notes above G4, however, are generally strained, whiny, nasal and pushed with a lot of air and tension. He is able to control notes below G4 with support and dynamics, however. Upper register: His falsetto is generally controlled and shows few problems with transitions and pitch. The tone is generally relaxed up until C5 and above that, it may become whiny and tight. Although a connected head voice has been produced, he lacks control and consistency in producing head voice. Agility

In terms of agility, his voice is able to do simple short vocal trills, bouncing up and down through notes such as in “Family Man”. However, his voice is not quite flexible enough to handle more complicated melisma-heavy R&B songs, such as his cover of “Because Of You“, where his runs would often lack precision and he would slide through runs too quickly, without giving each and every single note the necessary clarity, pitch accuracy and time. Therefore, his voice can come out pitchy and lacks the necessary agility to handle more extensive and complicated runs and ornamentations.

Overall analysis

Block B’s main vocalist, Taeil, is recognized for being the main vocalist of a group that’s heavily associated with Rap and Hip Hop music, and as such he takes most of the challenging high notes to bring in the effect and impact from their repertoire. With a very light, bright and highly placed voice, Taeil’s voice would most likely be associated with that of a Light Lyric Tenor, in classical music standards. He has a very extensive vocal range when it comes to his mixed voice and is able to control his voice well regardless of how high he takes it.

His lower range is the one where he lacks the most in terms of projection, development and support. His voice generally stays connected with
