Quite an impressive array of sounds from this vocalist.
Basso profundo to soprano... on Misty and Delilah, he really shows his power in the tenor range!
Perhaps our Russian KTVA students will give Mr. Voice some company.
Thanks for these links. I was unaware of Gennadi Tofimov, aka Mr. Voice. Thanks for sharing this part of your culture with us in other parts of the world.

You are welcome, Bob! I'm glad you like it.
"on Misty and Delilah, he really shows his power in the tenor range! "
:^) If you listen "Shine, shine, my star" at 2.45-3.05 you can hear even higher.
I think KTVA forum is a great community and what is interesting is that people are gathered here from all over the world. We can share with each other our cultures. I believe, it`s very intresting.
