A good voice consists of 2 things: pitch and tone/timbre. Pitch is, obviously, the fundamental frequency of the sound waves produced by your voice. Tone, or timbre, is a very broad topic; it's basically how your voice sounds—your voice's texture. Yeah, I know, real specific. Depth is one aspect of vocal tone, and one of—if not the—most important. Depth, as in "deep voice."
For example, I have a sort of low-pitched voice without very much depth. My vocal tone is also pretty bad.
Compare Aaron Marino (alpha m.)'s voice to mine:
Alpha m.'s voice is higher in pitch, but it sounds better than my low voice because of its tone. Here, the pitch doesn't determine the mog. Alpha m. voicemogs me despite me having the lower voice.
Tone > Pitch
Who has a great-sounding, deep voice? None other than the Internet's favorite singer: Rick Astley!
Rick Astley has a deep voice that's capable of singing at high pitches, which is a rare and acoustically pleasing combination.
Here's me singing the beginning part of Never Gonna Give You Up:
I actually sang it at an octave lower than Rick. That's half the frequency.
This is how high Rick Astley really sang it:
It's the same pitch as Rick, but my voice is so much less deep. My chest voice doesn't even go as high as Rick's, so I had to sing "so do I" in falsetto.
Depth > Pitch
As stated previously, high-pitched voices can sound better than low-pitched voices if the low voice lacks depth.
Justin Bieber in "Baby" is a supreme example of this. His voice at 16 years old (I'm 16) was so much higher than mine that I can barely hit any of the notes he naturally could sing.
Justin's voice (plus his face) attracted girls.
Trying to sing the song at a low pitch to sound more masculine just results in a shit sound:
Sounds like crap, doesn't it?
High pitch + good tone > low pitch + bad tone
- Key Point #1: Deep Voice ≠ Low Voice.
- Key Point #2: Vocal tone, and thus depth, is more important than pitch.
- Key Point #3: Too low can be bad if it isn't deep enough.
