Can you sing How Can It Be by Lauren Daigle?

This early Lauren Daigle ballad is built like a slow tide: verses low and confessional, each chorus rising a little further, and the deciding moment arriving at the final chorus, where the melody sustains its highest notes over the fullest arrangement. The researched range runs G3 to D5, a 19 semitone span. What the peak demands is not volume but a supported mix that can swell and recede on long vowels, and the smoky verse register needs genuine low end warmth rather than whispering.

Altos fit the entire song, topping out exactly at their ceiling with the low note two semitones above their floor. Mezzos have three semitones of headroom up top but sit two below their floor on the verse bottoms, so a one or two semitone lift suits them. Tenors face five over the ceiling and honestly need a four or five semitone drop. Sopranos carry seven semitones of headroom but sit five below the floor, so a four or five semitone lift is their setting. No verified key is stored on this entry; set yours from the final chorus swell. Her later single Look Up Child rewards the same patient build.

Practice cue: take one sustained chorus note and crescendo from soft to full and back over eight slow counts, keeping the vowel unchanged. That single exercise is this whole song in miniature.
