Mariah Carey: Words & Phrases in the Whistle Register (Live)
We all know Mariah Carey is globally known for many things but mainly for possesing an astonishing five octave vocal range. And the use of her whistle register which sets her apart from every other female artist in the Music Industry.
"I have nodules on my vocal cords. My mother says I've had them since I was a kid. That's why I have the high register and the belting register and I can still be husky. The only thing that really affects my voice is sleep. Sometimes if I'm exhausted, I can't hit the really high notes." "My doctors showed me my vocal cords and why I can hit those high notes. It's a certain part of the cord that not many people use the very top. My natural voice is low. I have a raspy voice. I'm really more of an alto. But my airy voice can be high if I'm rested."
