<blockquote> His bizarre and esoteric vocal styles are definitely one of the main trademarks of the band, ranging from a gruff distorted sound to an odd dissonant scat as well as a lesser used soft headier sound. Earlier on, he used his more distorted tone almost exclusively for highs, however later on around the time of ''See You on the Other Side'' he began demonstrating an ability to use more a cleaner which he can take to the lower fifth octave. His low range is fairly melodic down to at least F2/E2, with lower notes being more in the so-called "attitude fry" style, often used for a creepier or more intimidating effect. Davis's voice is definitely a factor in what most consider to make or break Korn's music for them, however he is definitely a unique staple of the 90s and modern rock scene.<ref name="RangePlace"/></blockquote>

Describing a live performance in [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]], Robert Ham of ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' stated that "not enough can be said about the versatility of Davis's voice, as he explored all the different timbres at his disposal throughout the night. He growled, crooned and wailed with equal amounts of steady force".<ref>{{cite news |last=Ham |first=Robert |date=April 7, 2018 |title=Korn's Jonathan Davis Shows His Solo Range With 'Black Labyrinth' Tour Kick-Off |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8297507/korn-jonathan-davis-black-labyrinth-solo-tour-review |url-status=live |magazine=Billboard|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200919174038/https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8297507/korn-jonathan-davis-black-labyrinth-solo-tour-review |archive-date=September 19, 2020 |access-date=September 19, 2020}}</ref> ''[[Rough Guides|The Rough Guide to Rock]]'' writer Essi Berelian described Davis's singing voice: his "unusual style varied between singing, half-rapping and breathless shrieking".{{sfn|Buckley|Ellingham|2003|p=565}} Davis is renowned for his guttural—[[scat singing]] breakdowns;<ref name="Krovatin2019-10-15">{{cite news |last=Krovatin|first=Chris|date=October 15, 2019|title=The 6 Best Jonathan Davis Scat Performances|url=https://www.kerrang.com/features/the-6-best-jonathan-davis-scat-performances-ranked/|url-status=live|work=[[Kerrang!]]|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200919183026/https://www.kerrang.com/features/the-6-best-jonathan-davis-scat-performances-ranked/|archive-date=September 19, 2020 |access-date=September 19, 2020}}</ref> author [[Christopher Krovatin]] wrote that "no aspect of Jonathan's vocals are more widely recognized that his babbled nonsense words reminiscent of the scat vocals used by classic [[jazz]] musicians like [[Duke Ellington]], [[Ella Fitzgerald]] and [[Scatman Crothers|Benjamin "Scatman" Crothers]]".<ref name="Krovatin2019-10-15"/> Tracks that include this aspect of his vocals in chronological order include the lead-off track in ''Life Is Peachy'' "[[Twist (Korn song)|Twist]]", "[[Freak on a Leash|Freak On A Leash]]", "[[Got the Life|Got The Life]]", "[[Children of the korn|Children Of The Korn]]", "[[B.B.K.
