About This Quiz

Microphone craft matters. Breath control, phrasing, stage habits. Some spin cords, some stand very still, some climb octaves like stairs. This set gives you names to match to those signatures.

Flow stays simple. A band shows up. Four possible voices follow. Choose the lead. After each pick, file away a fun fact. You leave smarter than you arrived.

Take it one chunk at a time. Short sit or longer stretch, your call. Discuss why a tone fits a band. Teach a friend one new thing before you close.
