Mirko, on male rock singers:
>The voices aren't supported and brilliant in sound, but more forced, and that sound of stuggle is a stylistic part of rock.
I think it's a little more complex, mostly regarding those singers David Lanza and I mentioned: depending on the song, that distortion at higher notes is stylistically a must. A very good example is Dream Theater's LaBrie singing "Perfect Strangers" or "Home": his higher notes are distorted because they HAVE TO sound that way. But that doesn't happen in most of their songs. In fact, most of those singers we mentioned tend toward a clear timbre in most of what they sing, and that's one of the reasons I think Anglo-Saxon audiences don't like them much.
Best wishes,
Caio
