Yasss, u betta wurk! I been waitin for this. I love his lower register too. His F2 in Speedin SLAYED! But, what about the belts he did in that song too, I thought he did some pretty good belts in there too. That was like his best song vocally to me. He punched that F5 in the background too, beautiful.
Based on his tessitura in this video, he's definitely a Baritone. Specifically a "Lyric Baritone" which means his range lies between a "Bass Baritone & Dramatic Tenor". He's the only Baritone in R&B today, everyone in R&B are Tenors it seems (Trey, August, Chris, Ne-yo, Miguel, ). The only other Baritone I'm aware of is Usher, but he would be considered a Baritenor because of his head voice abilities. Either way, I like Omarion's voice, he stands out from the rest of the heavily Tenor run R&B artist today! :)
guys 4 me, omarion is the best rnb singer, he can contrlo they voice, they range is stronger, they tone is crazy, 4 who dnt believe just listen vroom,speedin,ice box,temptation... These songs and more... R one prove that O can sing... Like and than others...
I came here ready to debunk Omarions range when I seen he went as low as F2 and as high as C6#, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised! I underestimated. He has range. First, he is a lyric tenor. Second, his range is more F2-G5#. Other notes were screeches. 3.1 octaves is impressive for a male. Also, his tessitura is more C3-Bb4. I am a lyric tenor and I can go as low as Eb2 and even hit a F2, but those are rare and I can only hit those notes when I am sick (due to the lowered tessitura) or on a very good day. Hes a great singer nontheless. thanks for making this video!!
@@nunomart2 Chris Brown has a lighter brighter tone. Chris has more agility in the upper register i comparison to Omarion. Omarion has a stronger and thicker tone and timbre in the middle voice than Chris however. Usher has a tenorish voice but he sits in more of the baritone or high baritone range for me. Of the 3 vocalist Usher is definitely number 3. Omarion and Chris can go tit for tat on range as both of them can go and dance. hmm. I'll just say that Chris is stronger in upper range while Omarion is stronger than middle range. No one today sounds like Omarion thought while there are alot of Chris Brown imitations out there, so yes Omarion sound is rarer than Chris to me as well.
Jeremy Nguyen definitely. John Legend is a baritone and he can hit Bb4's, Tyrese is a baritone and he has reached B4, Tank has hit C5, C#5. Plenty of baritones can reach those upper tenor notes. They just may not hit them as often as a tenor
@Dubble015 MOST people don't want to sit there and listen to 8 minute videos of different types of notes and their respected voices (i.e. chest, head, etc). To keep things simple and short I simply put them all together, but they are STILL organized by chest voice (including belts), mix and finally head.
@Snackay Classical singers use head voice. Which is like falsetto except for the fact that head voice carries a lot more weight. I don't know if you know but falsetto is Italian for false voice. They do rely on auto-tune a lot...but Omarion is a rarity...well, at least when it comes to his low notes. Exclamations don't count as a part of your range. So, you can stop at G#5...
@cynnthemanevolant the thing is head voice is different from falsetto. He is in full head voice from F4. I know this because i am a baritone. His head voice stops at A4 and you can so easily tell this because from B4 onwards its squeaky like a woman, thats how you know its falsetto. Falsetto and head voice are two different things. Go on wikipedia for explanation.
@LifeisMusic07 Ch.. Most of the notes I had for this video was from Speeding lol But I had to choose other notes to give some variety. I think Speeding & Temptation are his best songs vocally... and they both show off his range.
@Dubble015 That's truth the falsetto is an extension but is part of your range, one thing is register other is vocal range, the register is your natural chest voice without any extensions like falsetto or whistle register. (called this because is other register) The vocal range is the complete extension of your voice.
@iWurk Oh.. lol. I thought he belted a few notes higher on that song, guess not. & I agree those 2 songs do show off his range/vocals the best. Do you mind doing a vocal range video of Marsha Ambrosius (of Floetry) & or Monica (including live & studio notes)? because they hit some notes in studio, but some of their range is shown more live.
@Dubble015 I'm a male first off. And I am a PROFESSIONAL vocal educator. I graduated with my bachelor's in vocal performance. Falsetto is airy and light. That's what makes it falsetto.
@BlackLightning20101 The only way to really tell is to hear him sing live, with no amplification. There is so much studio manipulation these days, with computers, you can't tell much from a CD. His f4 sounds weak, but the G4 sounds strong. This must be because of the way it has been engineered.
@Dubble015 And sir, you have that backwards. Falsetto notes are airy. The only falsetto notes in this video is B4, C5 and part of the D5. The rest are pure head voice which is basically compressing the throat to allow less air through so it sounds "squeaky" as you said.
@Dubble015 It really depends on your teacher's training. But MOST vocal teachers will tell you falsetto is apart of your range. Especially since falsetto is a component of your head voice
@iWurk well actually calssicaly only your modal register is considered your range. However counting head voice and even whistle now is starting to become common. and since he's an rnb singer i'd say it's reasonable to count head voice. However tehcnically it's not meant to be considered
@iWurk falsetto is not a component of head voice they are totally different due to the fact that to produce head voice you need chord closure whereas in falsetto there is no chord closure therefore it can't really be considered part of your range anyone can go really high in falsetto
@iWurk Not true. Classical singers are the best, and they typically don't use falsetto. These singers rely too much on autotune. If you heard them sing live with no mic, it wouldn't be impressive at all, most likely.
@iWurk well it seems like you've made up your mind. I'm a baritone and my falsetto isn't airy. When frank ocean sings 'Well do you not think so far" in Thinking Bout You is that airy? That's falsetto not head voice.
@iWurk All im saying is with no disrespect it's a pretty cool video but if you're really gonna do vocal range, categorise them properly. Chest Voice, Head Voice, Falsetto and Whistle. You can see for yourself that the tone of his A4 and B4 are quite different in sound. Baritones CANT drag chest voice up there its impossible it's just his head voice. Baritones have strong powerful voices so it doesn't sound light but it is their head voice. I'm a baritone who is trained.
@iWurk where are you getting this from. Are you a vocal teacher? do you have one? have you ever been trained? Because you being a female cant tell me about my own voice when i study it. Wikipedia falsetto and read the first paragraph please. Not everyone has an airy falsetto.
@iWurk Falsetto's aren't really in your range, for males they are just an extension, thats what my teacher says. Your range is from your chest voice - head voice!
Men have chest middle and head voice just like women. Lol there is no major difference between men and women anatomical part make up except the parts for sexual reproduction.
@mistakrunk Thanks man, jokers like Omarian cant drop it like Luther Vandross etc, he don't have no soul. Just pro tools Melodyne and other vocal trickery. Back in the day singers could all sing for real
@@MrPeppeRE okay maybe he is lyric baritone he can hit very low notes. But even when hitting these low notes his testura is still high enough for you to hear him
I really like his lower registry. He has a nice voice.
he is a beast with his low notes
Yes O how’s mad control in the lower range but all sounds good in high mid range belts too.
Yasss, u betta wurk! I been waitin for this. I love his lower register too. His F2 in Speedin SLAYED! But, what about the belts he did in that song too, I thought he did some pretty good belts in there too. That was like his best song vocally to me. He punched that F5 in the background too, beautiful.
Omarion is a true tenor, his tessitura is too high to be a baritone, although he said it, there ain't no way his type voice be classified as baritone
Rodrigo 18 he called himself a baritone, because he is a baritone
Based on his tessitura in this video, he's definitely a Baritone. Specifically a "Lyric Baritone" which means his range lies between a "Bass Baritone & Dramatic Tenor".

He is a light lyric tenor aka Leggero tenor like Chris Brown and singer Llyod
@@simplymj7614 usher is not a baritone😂
Omarion voice is amazing I Love him and his music his number one fan
When I heard "Speedin'" that's when I really knew dude could sing, his voice is something else! :)
This didn’t age well

What’s your opinion if you compare him with usher or Chris brown ? In my opinion Omarion’s voice , sounds rare to me , unique

@@musicallychallenged2848 thank you for the reply 🙌🏾
Btw, his vocal technique isnt healthy, he projects somewhat "nasally".
Because he really is not a singer
I don't think it's unhealthy I think that's just his natural voice, it's so sexy btw
This song is what brought me here 21 years later
he sings on his saynow no autotune. omarion is a very underrated vocalist. da boy can sing
You should do a Lloyd vocal range, I think its time
Lloyd is DEF. underrated, that man sings his ass off
Wtf is lloyld
He hit a B4 in his chest voice in Ice Box and he has hit and yelled Bb4's
Dante Harmon baritones cant go that high in chest voice?
Jeremy Nguyen definitely. John Legend is a baritone and he can hit Bb4's, Tyrese is a baritone and he has reached B4, Tank has hit C5, C#5. Plenty of baritones can reach those upper tenor notes. They just may not hit them as often as a tenor
Dante Harmon Oh I thought all those guys were tenors
You have to pay attention to their tessituras first before anything else. Baritones don't sing past G#4-A4 that often Jeremy Nguyen
Dante Harmon so is the mixed voice part of the chest voice?
@Dubble015 MOST people don't want to sit there and listen to 8 minute videos of different types of notes and their respected voices (i.e. chest, head, etc). To keep things simple and short I simply put them all together, but they are STILL organized by chest voice (including belts), mix and finally head.
im so in luhv wit O now n forever
This video made me think of how good of a vocalist he his but after Verzuz😂
He is it was just off night
This Video Is Very Well Made Keep It Up iWurk!!! =)
very good. Anyone having such a range can be singing anything with the right training too

Please do a range video for Lloyd, he's amazing!
@DayvonGrey I agree with you. It would also be nice if Keith Sweat's vocal range was also compiled.
@DayvonGrey its in the works.
@oness11 are you sure? Why people like they music if he cant sing? 4 for me omarion don explore well they vocal range, he need 2 show that he can.
do lloyds vocal range
he done

Baritenor?
Light lyric tenor
@iWurk do one with sterling simms, he is one of my idols and role model when it comes to vocal range.
I have NEVER heard that much auto-tune. I think some people might have a weird-ass gasm if they found this, because they could make fun of the singer.
@Dubble015 Falsetto is an extension of head, however many singers can sing higher, not to mention have far more power singing in pure head voice.
@iWurk Not true. Classical singers are the best, and they typically don't use falsetto. These singers rely too much on autotune. If you heard them sing live with no mic, it wouldn't be impressive at all, most likely.
@Dubble015 Thats so untrue. They do count.... And not all those notes were falsetto.
@iWurk well it seems like you've made up your mind. I'm a baritone and my falsetto isn't airy. When frank ocean sings 'Well do you not think so far" in Thinking Bout You is that airy? That's falsetto not head voice.
@mtjproducer2008 Drop That Heater
@Dubble015 if it isn't airy then you aren't using your falsetto. Its really not that hard of a concept to understand. And yes that was his falsetto.
@Kabarile31 year that would be a great one too

@Dubble015 but i didn't mention anything about falsetto in my comment, and i know the difference between full head voice and falsetto.
he sings like, he was singing from his nose.. i have no idea on y this sounds this way
He has been singing out of his nose since he was in b2k. I don't see anything great about his voice
@iWurk where are you getting this from. Are you a vocal teacher? do you have one? have you ever been trained? Because you being a female cant tell me about my own voice when i study it. Wikipedia falsetto and read the first paragraph please. Not everyone has an airy falsetto.

lyric tenor with poor belting technique. warm and pretty tone
Is his range good? ???
everybody belts
Exclamations don't count in singing.
@Snackay Yeah it honestly is ridiculous. All this auto-tune...
People care more about a show than they do care about someone actually singing.

Cuz I don't know anything about vocal notes
what's the song at 1:34 please ? the A4 ?
The song is called Designated Driver
he doesn't have 3 octaves... Falsetto doesn't count! so from B4 you can stop counting!
