What Does Demi Lovato Sound Like
Overall:
Demi Lovato has a very melodious but deep voice. You can sing along to most of her songs but not a perfect replica. She features immense power and intensity when she sings the deeper tones and the softer ones.
Just imagine:
When you hear Demi Lovato’s music, there is a significant amount of impact in the way she pronounces her words.
Songs like ‘Give Your Heart A Break’ might have soft lyrics, but the way Lovato sings it, makes the whole song shift its vibe accordingly.
Also:
The song ‘Heart Attack’ has lyrics that target emotions and do not necessarily sound upbeat or empowering.
However, Lovato sings them in her deep, powerful voice, which completely changes the song’s perspective.
Things To Know About Demi Lovato’s Vocals
- Her vocal Classification: Light-Lyric Soprano
- Vocal Range: C#3 – Bb5 – Eb7
- Supported Range: Bb3 ~ C5
- Low Register: Demi Lovato’s weakest register.
Down to Bb3, she’s able to consistently maintain support and volume, but below that is inconsistent with support, although she has been able to inconsistently keep it down to A3.
Even with that:
Bb3 has been proven to be inconsistent in support for her at some points. Demi Lovato will either muffle her sound with a lowered larynx or lose a lot of tones as she ascends. However, tone can be retained as low as G3.
- Mixed Register:
Although Demi Lovato’s resonance in this area is very consistent up to C5, such as in For You, this resonance is unnatural and pushed.
Still:
Demi pulls up far too much chest in this part of her voice, as well as using a throaty, fast larynx vibrato and pushing her voice to try and have a bigger sound, most often present in songs such as Stone Cold.
Then again:
Due to this damaging technique, she has inconsistently strained as low as Bb4 here, although she’s inconsistently been able to maintain support as high as C#5, shown in her cover of Thriller.
In addition to that:
Above C5, Demi is plagued by a closed, throaty, and thin sound that she carries all the way up to her highest belt, Bb5.

- Upper Register:
Demi Lovato is able to achieve a successfully connected head voice up to C6, however, no support is present in her head voice consistently.
In addition to that:
Demi tends to underuse this part of her voice since her repertoire doesn’t usually have her singing in her upper register too much live.
So:
As she ascends in range, Demi’s head voice becomes tighter and more labored in sound, such as in Hello.
- Agility:
Demi Lovato is a vocalist that has a good idea of whenever she tries to perform vocal runs, but due to her level of vocal skill, these runs usually are at a high level of difficulty too.
Then again:
She usually will fall off-pitch and slide through the runs without a proper rhythmic bounce, such as in Confident.
To top it off:
Demi Lovato does a non-complex vocal run, she’s able to successfully run through them, but this is extremely rare.
- Good Musicality/Musicianship:
As a singer, Demi has ideas about what she does want to do in a cover, however, these ideas either are usually minimal
Or:
They’re executed with very dangerous techniques and damage her voice.
Also:
Demi does tend to be quite a bit of a karaoke vocalist and truly hasn’t developed her own flair with covering songs yet.
Even though:
It is very minimal, Demi Lovato doesn’t sound exactly like how she sounds in her songs or music videos, there is a little difference.
Overall:
With a light and girly voice, Demi is definitely a Light-Lyric Soprano if she were to forgo classical training.
However:
It may not seem that way at first due to the amount of pushing present in her voice.
