[edit] Range and Tessitura
David is Leggiero Tenor as trademark is his abnormally large range, especially his ability to sing in a high tessitura for sustained periods. Live recordings, whether by himself or with the Gaithers, indicate he has over a three octave full voice range. In the first verse of "Just As I Am," off of the album "Revelation," David sings an E2. This is attested by live performances. During a performance of "When God Dips His Love In My Heart," he ably sings an F5, full voice, and sustain it for a significant period of time.
During his time with the Gaither Vocal Band, his high tessitura was employed often.
