Voice Type

Light Lyric Tenor

Strengths/Achievements Semi agile voice Possesses enough vocal tone to sing through songs without a throaty, flat sound Able to produce decently relaxed and somewhat supported E3’s and F3’s in his lower range Able to mix with a relaxed enough tone up to as high as F4 and F#4 at times Able to transition into his falsetto without too many issues Weaknesses Never sings with a raised soft palate, nasality is very present in every register Throaty, squeezed placement throughout his entire range Pushes his larynx down when singing in his lower register Low notes are airy, quiet and unclear in tone below E3 Notes above F4/F#4 are often squeezed, pushed, or shouted with a closed throat and high larynx Fast, uneven vibrato that is always present in singing Sings in an airy, pushed, nasal falsetto that lacks true cord connection to make up for inability to mix high Tries to overcompensate for his flaws by doing excessive runs Improper breath support Neck and Jaw tension from bad posture when singing Pitch issues No Improvement has been made in his singing throughout the years Registers Lower register: Unsupported, usually accompanied by a lowered larynx and a lack of stability in tone. Is able to keep enough vocal tone even as low as D3 and Eb3 at times, but without enough considerably support and clarity of tone. Mixed register: Undeveloped, placed in the throaty and nasal cavities. Notes above F4/F#4 are squeezed and yelled with a high larynx, tension is mostly present in his mix as low as his first passaggio starts up until as high as he can take his mix. Upper register: Possibly his most developed register. Though the lack of support carries here as well, since the full tone of his voice is still closed by the tension in this throat, the voice still lacks stability, airiness is present and the tone is whiny. Agility

Possibly the only part of his voice that he really takes care of, Jay is able to do runs with relatively good pitch and note separation. Jay enjoys adding runs into his songs and performances. However most, if not all, of his runs are show offy and actually don’t add anything to the song. His vocal style is very reminiscent of R&B vocalists, which shows that he has been influenced by American R&B vocalists given the color and tone of voice he uses in his singing. Due to this style, he has the tendency to favor vocal runs and is able to do them relatively well considering his vocal level, but the execution is usually tight, tense and the overall creativity of the runs is limited to about the same sequence of notes repeatedly, such as in “When A Man Loves A Woman“. Instead of developing his voice to fully expand on the full potential of an R&B singer, Jay has limited his technique to only a small range of notes with over usage of vocal runs. When attempting to do vocal runs outside his comfort zone, he can often become pitchy and lose the center of the key he’s in, such as in “나를 돌아봐” and “I Believe I Can Fly“.
