Vocal Technique

One of the unique features of Kendrick's singing voice is her breathy, soft tone. While other actresses in movies like Mamma Mia and Into the Woods emphasized clarity and power in their singing ability, Kendrick's voice is delicate and ethereal. However, she still manages to hit high notes with ease, no matter how challenging the song. One of the ways Kendrick achieves this is through the used of the mixed vocal register, which blends the chest voice with the head voice to produce a unique sound.
