As public artists and idols of millions of young auďïệnces, Kpop Idols always keep their perfect image when standing on stage. One of the most important elements of K-pop artists, especially in vocal members, is vocals.
While there are countless great vocals in an industry as big as K-Pop, there are only a few that can sing falsetto vocals perfectly. This feat becomes even more of a problem for male idols, as their voices are often naturally lower, which makes it more difficult to perfect their falsetto.
Here are 10 rare vocalists, possessing the most beautiful fake vocals in Kpop that are highly appreciated by experts and fans:
There is no denying that the ḳöŕệän music industry is increasingly influential all over the world. The variety of colors, the uniqueness in music as well as the glittering appearance are the attractions of Kpop artists. Not only that, for K-pop artists, vocals are their important we@pon to conquer listeners.
When it comes to the top-notch vocals of the artists, Kpop has no shortage of talented vocalists. However, not all Kpop idols have a beautiful falsetto voice, especially for male idols.
Falsetto is a technique of fake singing that is quite popular and is interested and practiced by many people. The wind voice is created by stretching and thinning the vocal cords, making it easier for our voices to go higher in singing while still ensuring the smoothness and flight of the lyrics.
