The voice
Bonnie Tyler's instantly recognizable grit is the result of vocal-cord surgery in the 1970s — the husky texture became her trademark. She's a mezzo-soprano commonly cited around D3–E5, delivering everything with full-throated commitment.
Her songs demand power management: long, loud phrases that will exhaust an unsupported voice quickly. Practice them at half volume first, and let the rasp be your tone's character, not something you manufacture by squeezing.
