很高興看到這兩年唱著《野生花》和《shine your light》的朴神能得到那麼多人的捧場。一個歌手，幾乎完全拋棄過去的唱法，去掉聲音里的雕琢，完全地返璞歸真並再次取得成功，是多麼不容易的事情。當我為寫這個答案，回頭把他的歌又聽了一遍，從我小時候聽的，到最近出來的，就像在聽一部韓國21世紀主流抒情曲的歷史。這大概就是朴孝信的意義吧。
《風之記憶》melon歷史上點贊最多歌曲排名第四，第二是朴孝信的《野生花》^_^ 高音部分太驚艷了，不飄不刺耳不歇斯底里，有一種深深的哀傷另外兩首我非常喜歡的是naul和tablo合作的airbag，和dynamic duo合作的ring my bell，百聽不厭，naul的聲線和即興轉音太適合跟黑泡歌手合作了，節奏加soul，堪稱完美...
非常靈活，在他的每個音區里都能唱出很複雜的Vocal Runs，既不缺少力量與速度，也不失去音準。（比如You, He Is Real, ???? (Live), ???? (Live), Love Ballad, Ring My Bell, Sad Cafe和????這些歌里）。另外在????里他展示了從G5到C3再回到C4的vocal run。

音樂素養（Musicianship）
在他廣闊的音樂生涯中，Naul展示出了對音樂深刻的理解。無論是通過控制聲音的強弱和頓挫來喚起聽眾強烈的感情，還是通過各種快速音階和高音belting來傳遞歌曲信息，他是一個無論唱什麼曲風都能準確地知道如何通過表現和控制自己的聲音來加強音樂信息的傳遞的歌手。尤其來說， 他比較擅長在RB, Soul, Ballad, Funk and Gospel等體裁的音樂中展現自己的編曲 、和聲和音樂想法。
A legendary vocalist from the 90』s if you have listened to any male
Korean vocalist, it is extremely likely you have heard someone inspired
by Naul. A testament to the saying 「finer with time」 Naul has improved
immensely from when he first stepped, or shall I say, 「ran」 on the scene. With a voice that』s light as a feather and a singing approach that allows for him to have ease not only in a higher singing range many Sopranos struggle with, but also a bright singing style that allows for him to sing all over his range with connection and speed hardly ever seen in K-pop. Some may refer to his ability to sing throughout his range with such control and agility to be characteristic of a classical voice type often referred to as a 「Leggier Tenor.」 But for the purposes of this analysis, such fachs shall be avoided in a contemporary music
context.
When Naul was younger, he actually had an issue with lacking
projection and supporting his lower register below F#3 as shown by his D3 in Sad Cafe and his E3s in ???? and For You. Over time, while the lack of projection remained, he was able to develop support down to C#3/D3 (This Song, Love Ballad, and He Is Real). This lack of development is possibly caused by the fact that he never vocalizes below E3 for long periods of time or outside of his runs. Naul』s focus has always been singing in a higher range and he to this day doesn』t really phrase songs that go below D3 often. Instead he writes music specifically for the best range in his voice where he knows he shines and is able to vocalize with full power, which would explain why below C#3 he tends to have a more muffled sound in his lower range and become airy, resorting to lowering his larynx to sing down to G2. This is the single least developed register Naul has, which still isn』t a badly developed register at all.
Even from debut, Naul has always had a rather large sound output and
full resonance starting as low as E4. However, this register has also seen large improvement. About 15 years ago, Naul』s resonance ended directly on A4 while notes above would be tight and strained (the Bb4 in ??? ?? ?? and the B4 in Pass Me By). Over time, Naul began to develop his resonance higher as shown by the Bb4 in Blue Day, the B4s in Anything (Through The Rain) and Rapture, and the C5s in Love Ballad(Live), MY Everything, and ????. However, as shown in My Story, once he goes above this though, his larynx begins to raise. Despite singing with a high larynx, Naul is able to vocalize in the fifth octave for extended periods of time without too much fatigue (Memory Of The Wind, Sad Cafe, ????, and ????). Due to the light muscle coordination to vocalize with a brighter mix, with head dominance, he is able to show good stamina and often vocalizes above C5. Despite the strain, Naul is mostly in complete control of his placement and his pitch, being able to run and up from the top of his range down to the bottom without struggling with his control.
Possibly the only register that hasn』t changed over time is Naul』s
upper register. Naul』s upper register is a fairly developed head voice. Despite this, he unfortunately places the sound on the mask instead of his head to achieve the twangy RB sound. Even with the mask placement, Naul is able to support his head voice well up to G5. Notes above this though become pushed, shrill, and somewhat yelled. He doesn』t often sing notes above G5 but occasionally sustains big mask placed head voice notes in that range, such as the G#5 in 「??? ???」. It could be helpful for Naul to develop and explore more of a head placed head voice but for the purpose of style, his singing approach and placement in his head voice suit the kind of music he sings and enable him to properly blend his higher mixed voice range with his head voice, allowing for seamless transitions throughout his range, showing a very well connected instrument from bottom to top.
The few setbacks Naul has are due to stylistic approaches he uses. He
often opts for a brighter mix and often chooses to sing with a more closed sound even within his supported range. Despite that, he is able to vocalize with control in his mix and choose when to stylistically sing with more rasp or control the ratio of head and chest voice in his mixed. Another issue is his placement. He often places his voice in his nose to have more ease when singing up above Bb4 and in order to sing with more agility in a high range. This can at times be overbearing stylistically and takes away resonance from notes well within a range he could potentially produce with a much more opened sound. Despite these minor setbacks, the fact that Naul is completely in control of when or where to add nasality or close his throat for stylistic purposes adds much more to his overall vocal ability to be the one in command of his own instrument.One can easily hear the influence American RB singers such as Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder had not only on Naul』s style, but his musical ideas and his overall sound. This influence carried over from Naul to influence multiple idols in the K-pop industry today, from 2PM』sJun.K, to MBLAQ』s G.O. and SHINee』s Jonghyun, and will still carry over for many years to come with his huge fame and legacy. At some point improvement is a possibility but not a necessity. It is true that Naul could potentially work to further improve his mixed voice to avoid straining above C5 where he often phrases his songs, or to properly develop his lower range below C#3 but for the music that Naul sings, he』s at a place in his career and vocal development that these details in his voice doesn』t necessarily affect him too negatively and could only be worked on if he were to be more of a perfectionist in his singing technique
