Registers

• Lower register: Since her debut, Taeyeon's lower register has improved significantly expanding from Bb3/B3 to G3/G#iii since 2007. Her lower register has far more connection and projection than it did before.  Taeyeon carries decent support downward to G3/G#iii, withal her voice has the most projection in the K#3/A3 range. Beneath G3 Taeyeon's voice becomes very airy and unsupported, but she maintains a neutral larynx.

• Mixed register: Taeyeon has consistent support up to C#five/D5 and consistent resonance up to C5/C#5. She generally produces very open up and resonant notes in the A4~C5/C#5 range and occasionally upwards to D5. Above D5 Taeyeon's voice becomes tight and strained.

• Upper annals:  Although Taeyeon actively switches back and along between falsetto and head vox it is safety to presume she uses head voice. Taeyeon, when not using falsetto, can carry a supported head vox up to F5/F#5 though not resonant. Above F#5 her head voice and falsetto get very tense and shrill.

Agility

As a vocalist that trained nether The One, who incorporates many runs into his performances, Taeyeon herself has developed a fair share of agility. Though overlooked in previous years, in 2015 Taeyeon made point to demonstrate her skill when it comes to agility. The most noticeable piece is "Check" from Girls' Generation'south Party unmarried which is filled with numeous runs from Taeyeon, similarly "Bump It" from the Lion Heart album also features many runs from TaeYeon as do many of the songs from that album. However in 2012 Taeyeon showed she was definitely capable of doing complicated runs live with her various performances of "Lady Marmalade" with Tiffany.  Taeyeon has shown she is best suited for slow to mid-tempo runs with faster runs she tends to lose control and rhythmic flow and her pitch tends to go off.

Overall analysis

TaeYeon made her debut in 2007 as the chief vocalist and leader of South korea's leading girl grouping Girls' Generation. Since her debut Taeyeon has made a name for herself as one of South Korea'southward acme idol vocalizer and one of their near respected singers considering of her many OST with her 2008 OST "If" existence her almost popular and the 1 that put her in South Korea's eyes as a vocalist. TaeYeon is often praised for her power to convey emotions as a vocaliser. Composer Yoo Youngseok expressed his feeling most TaeYeon'southward vocalism saying "Taeyeon feels similar a adult female who has been divorced 7 times", significant she is able to sing about heart break and parting well. Label mate JongHyun of SHINee expresed his understanding with composer Yoo Youngseok'southward annotate about Taeyeon saying, "I also feel that [Taeyeon's] vocalization sounds like a adult female with lots of feel of honey and departing." He reveals that he has felt this way about her ever since they were both trainees and Taeyeon "was born with the talent of expressing her sensitivity" showing his appreciation for his  label mate'south skill.

During her rookie years, TaeYeon used more than chest resonance in her breast vocalism; therefore causing her to have a richer and fuller tone production. However later on, she switches to a lighter, brighter and slightly airier approach.  For case in her 2008 performance of "Reflection," TaeYeon utilizes a significant amount of chest resonance in her chest vocalism and mix resulting in a richer and more womanly sounding tone, as opposed to her operation of "I Beloved You" in 2013 where tone quality was lighter and brighter in her chest voice and mix. This change is even noticeable when comparison mixed voice notes from then with more than recent ones. For example in the fashion she approaches the C5 in "Beloved Mom." The C5 from this 2009 "Dear Mom" functioning has more than chest resonance and slightly fuller tone quality, whereas the C5 from this 2011 "Dear Mom" performance has a brighter tone production, but meliorate resonance. Her switch to a lighter approach is neither negative or positive every bit it does not positively or negatively affect her voice.

In her mixed register Taeyeon uses a lighter and brighter arroyo , especially when compared to the beginning of her career. At the beginning of her career, Taeyeon had considerable development upward to C5/C#v accompanied by a strong, forward, and resonant sound within that range. For example the C#5s in "Baby Baby" had consistent support and occasional resonance, especially the C#five from this "Infant Infant" performance having full, frontward and resonant quality. She has likewise produced many adept notes from this era in the Bb4-C5 range equally well, for example in "Want and Resent" resonating C5s. Also during this time TaeYeon supported a D5 during her radio performance of "Counting Kisses with Y'all."  Although this D5 in particular was non resonant, it had connected back up and power. Yet, this was a very rare occurrence. Taeyeon's mixed voice to a higher place C#5 was very underdeveloped at this time which resulted in many of her D5s from "Into The New World" beingness strained.

Fast forwards to 2010 not much happened for Taeyeon technically, except for her having her commencement studio F5 in "Wake Upwards" from theHootmini album in 2010. In 2012 SM Entertainment introduced the Girls' Generation sub-unit of measurement TTS featuring members Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun. The unit's main purpose was to showcase the vocal talents of those three members. "Twinkle", the leading track, required Taeyeon to sing F#5s in every functioning. The F#5s in "Twinkle" proved to be incredibly hard for her; non just were they were the strained, but also many of them brutal flat because she did non have vocal stamina for them. Not only was she required to sing the F#5s in "Twinkle", but also "Baby Steps" which was also part of the Twinkle mini album. Those F#5s mirrored the quality of the F#5s of "Twinkle":strained, pushed and apartment. Subsequently consistently straining her vocalism during that promotion menses, Taeyeon began to take difficulty singing above C#five. In 2013 Girl'south Generation released "Dancing Queen" and "I Got A Boy" both less taxing vocally than "Twinkle" and "Baby Steps", nevertheless she was still unable to handle the D5s because of effects of the previous promotion.Although the "Dancing Queen" D5s were all quite strained and pushed 2013 was still a proficient yr for her vocally. In 2013 Taeyeon produced some of her best C5s/C#5s and fifty-fifty had some success above to a higher place C#v. For instance Taeyeon'southward C5s in "Lost in Dear" had a very clean resonance and fifty-fifty vibrato; she even managed to bring resonance and support up to Eb5 while performing "Express 999" several times.

Taeyeon has made meaning comeback in her mixed register by expanding her support range from C5/C#five to C#5/D5. The D5 improvement was first noticed in the King of beasts Heart album released in August of 2015 in songs similar "Green Calorie-free" and "Bump It." The sustained D5 in "Dark-green Calorie-free" had strong support and an open sound which was very different from her D5s in previous years, and the phrased D5s in "Bump It" besides had proficient support. Taeyeon solidified her improvment with her performances of her song"I" from her solo EPI. Moving forward, Taeyeon D5s have become fairly consistent with support, for example her D5s in "Fine"  from herMy Voiceanthology were supported with good placement having a strong and total tone quality. However, she has a tendency to button her D5s because of them being at the acme of her supported range, for example her D5s from performance of "Fine" on Sketchbook. However Taeyeon has shown she is completely capable of producing resonance on D5, for example her D5 in "U R" from her Butterfly Kiss concert and her D5 in "Experience And then Fine" from Persona; despite the quality of the fancams, both notes take a very supported, projected, and clear sound.

Similarly to what happened in her mixed register, Taeyeon's lower register has improved significantly over the years, expanding from A3/Bb3 to G3/G#3. Taeyeon for a long time had issues singing below A3 equally her lower register was quite underdeveloped. This was especially evident below G3/Chiliad#3. Below that her voice would get very airy, quiet, and lack project, for example her performance of her OST "Missing You Like Crazy" in which she sings many F3s which were consistently airy and not completely pitch centered. G3'due south as well posed a problem for her, for example the G3 in "Promise", though there was significantly more connection on the G3 than the F3 that followed, it still sounded uncomfortable for her to hit. In contempo years, Taeyeon has become more solid and consistent supporting G3/G#iii for instance her G3s in "I Got Love" had a very full tone quality and projected well as well every bit sounding very comfy and easy for her. This is because the muscle co-ordination in that area has strengthen and she is also committing to her breast voice amend.

Taeyeon'south head register often flips between falsetto and head voice from what seems to be for stylistic purposes.  Her head voice has a fairly decent connection and support upward to F5/F#five,but in a higher place that, in both falsetto and caput phonation, she becomes fairly tense and shrill. In more contempo years, TaeYeon has significantly improved in the G5-B5 range being able to vocalize more easily up there. For example, her B5 in "Fine," although strained, has significantly more openness and back up than her Bb5 in "Gemini" from herImini album. In addition, she has also shown more openness and resonance towards the pinnacle of her supported range, such equally her F#5s from "When I was Immature" which had a very strong connection to the back up system with a very pure and whole sound.

Musicianship

Taeyeon is not one for dramatics when information technology comes to her singing. She's definitely a fan of keeping a performance sensible and well within her ways vocally. She'due south a vocalist that likes to bear a functioning by conveying emotions through phrasing.  Taeyeon definitely is not a high flight belter, as she stays in more a medium high to depression vocal range maxing commonly out at F3/F#3 and Eb5/E5, which is fairly consequent with her OST's and vocal range in Girls' Generation albums. Although of course there are exceptions to this, every bit she is occasionally challenged exterior that range. Taeyeon'southward performance of "Moonlight" is a great representation of her stylistically choices, as range wise she stays somewhere inside the G3/G#3 ~ D5 range which is very reasonable for her song skill. This performance showed off her resonance in the A4 ~ C#5 very well as it was concentrated within in that area. TaeYeon'southward solo album is a good reflection of her as a vocalist as the songs are very dissimilar than what is on the Girls' Generation albums. Her style seems to be more than mid to irksome tempo songs in a lower range. A expert example of this would be "U R" with a range of E3 ~ F5 centering more around the A4 ~ D5 area, which definitely was intentional as that is where she does well.
