Strengths/Achievements Second most supported lower register in SHINee amongst the tenors Most developed head voice/falsetto register amongst SHINee members Achieved resonance a number of times from Eb4 ~ A4 range Strongest vocalist in SHINee Able to keep a stable larynx even in his lowest notes Able to project forward his lower register range between F#3 ~ C#3/C3, occasionally B2 and Bb2 Weaknesses Tendency to push notes on A4/Bb4 and above Although resonant in placement, throat isn’t as opened as it could be to achieve a fuller sound Pushed falsetto/heady mix at times, creating a nasal strained sound When he does not breathe properly or shows vocal fatigue, prone to having pitch/intonation issues Although having a stable larynx in his lower register, notes tend to be quiet and breathy below C3/B2 Registers Lower register: Stable larynx in his lower register, but at times overly breathy and unsupported, with others having a better projection and placement Mixed register: Able to mix well, choosing when to use a heavier or chestier mix or a more balanced and lighter mix, although having the tendency to push on the chestier mix. Very extensive upper range, capable of mixing up to F5/F#5 but still not being able to fully support notes above A4 properly. Upper register: At times able to produce a very relaxed and supported head voice/falsetto, able to extend up to A5 with a relatively relaxed throat, but also having the other extreme of pushing with a nasal forced placement and strained on notes as low as C#5~F#5 range. In a softer falsetto, generally relaxed up until F#5/G5 with some ease up until A5. Agility

Jonghyun possesses a very light and somewhat agile voice, the problem with it is his lack of pitch accuracy. Although he’s able to smoothly transition in between pitches with a slow to medium tempo agility, some are not hit correctly thus creating sloppy runs. It’s an inconsistent agility with the need of more precision and care.

Overall analysis

Jonghyun’s natural light and thin voice allows him for a very soft sound as well as a very piercing sound when desired. His vocal timbre is youthful, with a very bright quality to it. Over the years his voice has matured and lighted up in tone, allowing for an even brighter sound with more ease in the upper register, also enabling his voice to be much softer in his lower range and better placed. He’s able to descend down to his lower range with relative ease, generally able to keep his larynx considerably stable, with a forward placement and projection down to C3, such as in “Deja-Boo“. Usually most low parts require a sof
