ₒₒₒₒAlright I’m like--- in a state of disarray over this thing I am so ready because I’m an avid choir kid and ieao;fjdk The premise is school choir, and it’s a men’s division (feat. Jolyne), hence the severe lack of gals (for now???)
BUT I might do an extra thing with all the jojos and jobros and some other supporting cast characters in a show choir together but that’s for a later time
Or I might do headcanons for a rival choir of Jofoes
haha just kidding...
...unless?
Such a stronk baritone, but such a middling tenor
Like he’s doing his best but he needs some work for anything above a middle Db
But his timbre???? You know the singer for Sono Chi no Sadame??? Yeah take that timbre but like--- put it in a choir
Easily one of the most powerful voices in the whole ensemble
He just wants to be a tenor though, so he can do like
But alas, that is not for him (yet)
He is laser-focused during class and sometimes does the annoying thing where he just doesn’t sing unless he can get the phrase perfectly in pitch and in rhythm, but we love him anyway
He does not try for solos often, and usually needs to be coaxed by everyone else into trying out
I don’t know if anyone reading this is a choir kid, but in the boys section I’ve exclusively experienced boys who take it too seriously and the boys who don’t take it seriously at all
Not to say that he doesn’t pay attention when he needs to, he just happens to also do the most purposeful voice-cracking in the whole choir for the laughs
“Hey, can we do All Star for the concert”
He’s a baritone, but when he’s having a great day, he can be a great bass
He speaks at a higher register than he sings, and when you hear the difference back to back, it’s a little freaky
Pleads for a rock song for miscellaneous concerts, because he wants to try belting
He’s that kind of dude who just stands alone in a practice room and tries to belt Jesus Christ Superstar and EVERYONE outside can definitely hear him
During rehearsal, he is very convinced that he has the right notes
He never asks questions, even when he should, and then right as everyone is going through a phrase, you can see his facial expression turn from 100% pure confidence to 100% pure confusion
Literally no one expected him to be in something as dorky as choir
But he is the silent bass that holds everyone together
Like you don’t realize he’s singing until he’s not at rehearsal
And everyone’s like “Hey, where’s the comforting chesty buzz of our lowest bass”
He’s probably capable of hitting higher notes, but frankly, he doesn’t want to
He’s very comfortable right where he is
Which is 3 ledger lines below the bass clef staff
He’s one of the pillars that holds the ensemble up, so he can’t really try out for solos often
You don’t want to leave Joseph to his own devices as a Bass, after all
Quickly going into some musical stuff: Have you ever heard Norm Lewis play Javert in Les Mis? In the first 10 seconds of this one moment, he hits a note lower than my self esteem and I feel like that sums up how Jotaro’s range has that chesty buzz, ya feel?
Meet the tenor, ladies and gentlemen
On a very very good day, he can hit the E on the treble staff, he is a ten or
But at the same time, he has this nice... deep and smoky timbre
Because he’s deeper than your average boy band member
We’re talking some grade A, Bruno Mars on crack kind of riffing
Even in places where he doesn’t need to be riffing
He out there like “Hallelᵘᵘᵘuuuuᵤᵤᵤᵤjah,,,, Juᵘᵘuᵤᵤuᵘbilate deoooₒₒₒₒ” but he’s a poppin’ soloist-- if you hear him pre-rehearsal just out there riffing, you’ve heard heaven condensed into a collection of soundwaves-- Pucci is quaking
Poor 15 year olds get the short end of the stick
He’s a cambiata, somewhere kinda in-between a boy-soprano and an actual tenor
But he’s flexing out here with tenor descants
He’s the only person who listens to sample recordings given out by the director, ngl
He’s so good at ye olde Latin pieces because his diction is on point
And I mean... Italian is his bread and butter
But also because Latin pieces like to actively torture tenors and Giorno is just ready to flex with his ability to hit them high notes
Unfortunately though, he’s not ready for the truck that is about to hit him vocally, and no one has the heart to tell him that his crazy range won’t last much longer
He voice cracked one (1) time during rehearsal and almost had a crisis
“THIS IS IT, IT’S OVER FOR ME”
With almost-boy-soprano Giorno and kinda husky-sounding Josuke, there had to be a blending buffer there
If Giorno and Josuke stood next to each other during rehearsal (and God forbid-- the concert??), it would be an absolute disaster of completely different competing tones of voice
So the big compromise was our blending gal, Jolyne
She’s an alto/mezzo, but can hit most tenor notes, so she just deals with it
There are points in which the tenor part just drops down a little much and she just stares at the the director
“You’re really gonna make me attempt this, huh”
She’s the person who brings her phone with her onto the risers and lowkey falls asleep during rehearsal
But somehow miraculously picks up her part at an alarming rate, and it scares the rest of the choir to this day
Everyone has theorized that she has perfect pitch, but really, who knows?
You’d never see any of the boys able to pull that off, I’m telling you that
