A trademark T-Pain vocal is one where he sounds soulful but tinny and machine-made, like George Lucas' C-3PO warbling his heart out at a karaoke bar.

Some context: born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida, R&B/hip-hop rapper-singer-producer-writer T-Pain (born Faheem Rashad Najm) emerged at the tail end of 2005 as an enormously in-demand hitmaker with the success of guitar-driven finger-snapper 'I'm 'n Luv (Wit a Stripper).' Urban crossover chart-stormers like 2007's 'Buy You a Drank (Shawty Snappin')' came soon after, as did an endless string of high-adrenaline cameo vocals on tracks like Kanye West's 'Good Life' and Chris Brown's 'Kiss Kiss.' During T-Pain's golden period of chart ubiquity - he contributed to five Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 singles of 2007 alone - he deliberately over-processed his vocals using Auto-Tune pitch correction software to manufacture an artifactual sci-fi effect. Your reasons for thinking he might not be an excellent singer, however, would not necessarily be unreasonable. I would even encourage you to consider T-Pain an excellent singer. He is, in my opinion, a very good singer.
