Voice Type: Full-Lyric Soprano Range: C3-C6-Bb6 Celine Dion is best known for her signature nasal voice and sentimental love songs. Celine's strong vocals have earnt her a place as one third of the vocal trinity (comprising of Mariah, Whitney and Celine). As one of the most iconic voices of the 90′s Celine’s voice type is often up for debate. People most often label Celine a mezzo for two reasons: she has stated that she is one and she possess large, piercing belts. We cannot automatically trust singers to classify their voices as they may not be educated on the fach system. Celine clearly isn’t. Her tessitura definitely sits in soprano territory (Its All Coming Back To Me Now, My Heart Will Go On, Immortality, All By Myself, Because You Loved Me). Her lows also tend to be weak and foggy. A mezzo would not have the comfort in the upper 5th octave that Celine does, but rather more comfort down low. I see many full-lyrics mistaken for spintos- it’s very common. Celine’s belts are sharp and piercing, this throws people off. Full-lyrics also have less bright voices than light-lyrics, but not to the same extent to that of a spinto. The lack of darkness and weight means she can’t be a spinto. Compare her to a real spinto, Whitney Houston, and you will hear the difference. Celine has a warm, mature and full voice. The main distinction between a light and full lyric is the maturity of the voice. Celine sounds like a woman, rather than a young girl, meaning she is a full-lyric. Celine is a great example of a full-lyric as she doesn’t push or scream her belts. Her voice is rather gentle and smooth. Vocal View:I love Celine’s belts, they are strong and full. She can also produce some nice resonance (Take a listen here and here).Mezzo-Soprano
