    I wonder why some people seem to change their voices when they sing

      I’d assume its to achieve a certain style that they the singer find pleasing or complementary to the rest of the bands signature sound.

      There’s a lot of necessity there. Our natural speaking voices use the throat and lungs in a different way than any singing techniques. And, there’s multiple ways of using them to get a desired sound.

      So there’s some degree of style involved, but past a certain point you have to change your voice to sing rather than just speak in tune (which is still a valid thing of its own)

      Fashion. British acts go through eras of sounding American, then sounding as British as possible, then American again.
