I'm an AVP n00b, so bare with me. I've been wondering about a vocal sound that I'm very fond of. Some vocalists over the years have been using it, but it's not really that common. The sound is very soft, full-bodied and has a sort emphasis on making the consonant sounds really soft. My question is: Do they have these voices all natural, or is it some effect that they are using, that could be applied to any voice? (flang effect maybe?)
Here are two examples:
John Grant - Queen of Denmark http://open.spotify.com/track/77jhNH7WU1qR60BlDOZpGh
Gerry Rafferty - Right Down The Line http://open.spotify.com/track/2Xb6wJYGi0QXwURw5WWvI5
