There’s a lot of necessity there. Our natural speaking voices use the throat and lungs in a different way than any singing techniques. And, there’s multiple ways of using them to get a desired sound.
So there’s some degree of style involved, but past a certain point you have to change your voice to sing rather than just speak in tune (which is still a valid thing of its own)
I wonder why some people seem to change their voices when they sing
I’d assume its to achieve a certain style that they the singer find pleasing or complementary to the rest of the bands signature sound.
Oh fair, yeah.
So you’d rather they just talked?
