Eddie Vedder's deep baritone voice is one of the biggest trademarks of the legendary rock group Pearl Jam. Vedder has showcased his unique vocal talents for many yers during his career.

Vedder has really wide range thanks to his really strong lower singing and great higher singing. Vedder usually gets pretty gritty and strained around 5th octave but he has some impressive moments where he actually hits really clean and easy notes.

1. 0:00 - Strong G2 from "Longs Nights".
2. 0:05 - Few G2s from "Just Breathe".
3. 0:11 - Great G2s from "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town".
4. 0:27 - Short G2 from "Love Boat Captain".
5. 0:32 - Good G2s from "Speed of Sound".
6. 0:43 - Lots of really strong F♯2s and one brief F2 from "Bu$hleaguer".
7. 0:56 - "Man of the Hour" with short E2.
8. 1:01 - Good E2 from "All Those Yesterdays".
9. 1:08 - Strong E2s from "Broken Heart".

16. 2:57 - Really deep C♯2 from "Breakerfall".
17. 3:03 - Solid C2s from the backing vocals of "Arc", fantastic singing.
18. 3:28 - Solid C2 and whispered non-modal A1 from "I'm Still Here", Vedder has some really low speaking parts in this track.

20. 3:40 - Another quick B1 and one fry A1 from "Dream a Little Dream".
21. 3:54 - Fry F♯1 from "I'm Still Here", this is the lowest note Vedder has showcased.
