There’s a lot of necessity there. Our natural speaking voices use the throat and lungs in a different way than any singing techniques. And, there’s multiple ways of using them to get a desired sound.
So there’s some degree of style involved, but past a certain point you have to change your voice to sing rather than just speak in tune (which is still a valid thing of its own)
My favorite band with the most distinctive vocal sound is The Blood Brothers… They stopped the band very young and it makes total sense why—you can’t vocalize like that for too long without completely frying your voices.
I wonder why some people seem to change their voices when they sing
Fashion. British acts go through eras of sounding American, then sounding as British as possible, then American again.
That’s a good point, yeah.
Often happens when speaking different languages too.
That’s a great analogy

So you’d rather they just talked?
I’d assume its to achieve a certain style that they the singer find pleasing or complementary to the rest of the bands signature sound.
Oh fair, yeah.
