This is a top requirement for us when looking for a replacement front person, as we are doing currently. Our previous singer wore Harley Davidson tee shirts etc and had a real “blokey” persona. Nothing wrong with that, it just happened. We’ve auditioned, and rejected, a couple of candidates (men) based on the vocals just not being in key. Next up was a rather shy lady who we had rather low expectations of at first………..until she open her vocal cords. We were blown away by her voice and stage presence. She would open up a whole new set of opportunities for us, if she would choose to join us. She’s reflecting on all of her options.
Not in the same genre as us, I noted that Emily Armstrong is now fronting Linkin Park. I bet that’s a change for fans.
