For this article, I've chosen Freddie Mercury as the specified singer since he had a unique vocal style and is still a revered inspiration for many aspiring singers.

Freddie Mercury had a four-octave vocal range. He utilized his chest voice frequently while also using head voice in his signature vibrato, making his vocals sound more operatic. His performances were notable for his emotional intensity and showmanship. He was famous for singing without worrying about making mistakes or imperfections.
