Top 10 Adult Male Singers with Boy-ish Voices
I mean adult male singers that are, say, older than 20 but their voices sound as if they didn't mature enough and will never sound very manly. This effect of a "boy-ish voice" is usually created by singers with high and thin voices, or singers who often use falsetto.Hammerfall singer Joacim Cans said about the falsetto "You just have to find your "child" voice and do exercises using that voice."
Similarly to this, some singers probably find and use their pre-puberty voices even when they don't use falsetto.
And last but not least, people's voices are genetically stored as a code in the DNA.
A boy-ish voice doesn't mean the singer is bad. And it doesn't mean the boy-ish voices can't sound good - there are 3 types of singers in this category:
1) boy-ish voices that sound very good
2) boy-ish voices that are OK
3) boy-ish voices that sound bad.
He can't have a boyish voice, a tenor voice and an angelic voice - that isn't possible.
Michael Kiske is a singer best known as the former lead vocalist for the German power metal band Helloween. (singer for Helloween, Avantasia, Unisonic).
He's an example of a good sounding boy-ish voice that has enough power. Michael Kiske is a great metal singer that often sounds like a kid hitting high notes but he does it incredibly good. Even now, when he's 50, he still sounds quite boy-ish AND good. I know he's got good lows, too, where he sounds manly but he doesn't use low notes very often because he's mostly a high pitch singer.
He's a metal singer (Skull Fist) but his voice sounds so weird for a 30 yo male that many people thought he used studio tricks to get this effect. But there are no studio tricks - the guy does sound like that.
Songs: Skull Fist - Get Fisted, Hour to Live.

Singer for metal band Ne Obliviscaris with a very clean and beautiful voice. His falsetto is awesome, too. He sounds like an angel and when I heard his falsetto in the song below (chorus), I thought it was a female opera singer.
