What do you like better: male vocalists or female vocalists?

[Koach]

IMO it depends on the genre.... i dont really care who sings as long as he/she is good at it.

[Bjossi]

I prefer male vocalists, they just sound more interesting to my ears. I particularly like gravely, deep voice. For a good example check out Dieter Meier and/or the group Yello (Where he is the lead singer.).

The same applies to voice actors. I love Phillip L. Clarke's performance as Dr. Malcolm Betruger in Doom 3. He is a very underused talent in my opinion. For those interested he also talks for Lawrence Wargrave in the 2005 game version of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Another voice acting performance I enjoyed was Charles Napier as the General in Quake 4.

I listen mostly to males but I actually like a soft female voice more (and I don't mean a male singing in falsetto).

Robert Plant all the way

[Michael Archer]

I didn't really like Defying Gravity. Male vocalists or no vocals at all for me.

I think you are forgetting gay vocailists, they have a distinctive characteristic to their singing.

 

Anyway, I prefer vocals that are mastered by the producer rather then a pure vocal. And I often prefer speaking or no vocal at all.

 

Something like this:

Well, I may like female vocalists best but there are still some male ones I like.
