fvck it. wendy is the main vocalist of this generation — a thread

wendy’s vocal range is 4 octaves: Eb3 ~ Eb7

Wendy’s head voice is able to take the register all the way up to G6 and use a whistle register up to Eb7.

She is able to support her head voice up to Bb5 which by standards is very good.

Also sings well into 6th octave without shying away. example:

She shows her ease in her lower register with Red Velvet’s “Wish Tree.” During this performance she phrases many notes in the middle to higher part of her lower register with good support. her lower register is a great assest to her and uses it efficiently

shes able to support her voice moderately low.

she is fairly comfortable with phrasing in her lower register and is still able to maintain tonality most notably in “Be Natural.”

She easily phrases her way down to an Eb3 without any lack of tonality

another example of her lower register in close to me

another one of her lower register performances which is a live mr removed performance of umpah umpah

The full extent of Wendy’s lower register reaches Eb3 and the extent of her ability to support is F#3/G3 which fairly decent develop in the lower register for a Soprano.

Also Wendy’s lower register is fairly well trained and connected to the rest of her voice. Wendy is capable of supporting her voice as low as F#3 and is able to maintain a considerate amount of tone down to Eb3/E3.

She has a very strong connection to her support system allows her legato to be very smooth throughout phrases. also has a very full sound in the chest voice with very minimal airiness. she can freely switch to a more airy sound without it being too airy.

Prior to her debut in 2014, Wendy was very active vocally showcasing her vocal talent on youtube by uploading covers of songs as well as being apart of what seemed to be her school’s vocal ensemble. Wendy is known for her rich, soulful voice and R&B style.

She has a style of singing that is heavily based in the R&B/Soul genre which is very much known for its complex and extravagant melismas therefore as mentioned previously, she has the ability to do complex runs.

Wendy has shown she is capable of doing complex runs for example her runs in “Halo” by Beyonce as well as the Red Velvet song ”Red Dress” from The Red album.
