A 'good' vocal range is measured excluding head voice and falsetto. I have full baritone and tenor reach, and sing most pleasantly in tenor. |

... This could have been fruitful... but off the blocks it doesn't look like it's going to be. D3-F3 in whatever that is under chest voice. F3# to D5-G5 in "chest voice", with a "break" around C4. A5-B5-C6 is somewhat different than the previous, but not the exact same as D6-E6. And E#6-A6 is some almost insufferable falsetto-y whatever. If that "says" anything, I have no idea. I've kind of "given up" on trying to figure out what little classification I would fall under. I figure that if I pursue vocal music, someone will tell me eventually. I don't know... I'm not as interested in the statistics as what they "mean". Which would be nice to know, but... : / I'm interested in how the voice is supposed to mature from here at age 17. I've gotten several answers from "it's supposed to lower" to "you'll become more secure in your high notes". : / |

Sometimes part of the range could really use training - for example, falsetto not sounding so "falsetto-like" and more like head or chest voice. Or if you have such awful natural technique that you ruin your voice. Freddie pushed his voice and... bada-bing, bada-boop - nodules. |

I've looked through a lot of sources and the average range is 1.5-2 octaves. Then again, I don't know if that includes falsetto or not.
A quick mental survey of my choir says this is about right. Most of the girls singing soprano can't even reach G5 or A5. I know one girl in my group, mezzo, who can't really go below C4 - but she's in with us because she can't really go above C5.
Choir is pretty depressing. People are just in there to talk to their friends. And though it sounds even whinier, and being stuck singing at the bottom of my range ALL THE TIME is a drag. They might as well just make us sing the Tenor part.

Here's a quick range-check, if anyone is interested. Links to download the computer-generated tones : A Picture for reference : link C4 (Middle C) [Lime Green], Most everyone should be able to hit this, usually cited as Soprano floor : link C5 (Tenor C)[Blue], This is the highest note required for operatic Tenors - in head voice (not falsetto) : link A5 [Coloured, but the A between the Blue and Bright Purple Cs]- This is the "highest" note for Mezzo-Sopranos, though some places will cite B5 : link C6 (Soprano C) [Bright Purple], This is the highest note for Sopranos : link F6 [Between the two purple Cs] - cited as the highest note asked for in opera, though I heard something about G6, I don't know : link C7 [Dark Purple] - this is an octave over Soprano C, some females and a few males can hit it in flageolet register, though I saw "regular" Soprano development cited only up to A6 : link And now to go lower than C4 : G3 [Between the Yellow and Green Cs] - often cited as the lowest note for Mezzo-Sopranos : link F3 [Also between the Yellow and Green Cs] - often cited as the lowest note for Dramatic Mezzo and and Wagnerian Soprano : link C3 [Yellow] - Tenor floor : link C2 [Orange] - lowest note cited for Dramatic Bass and Basso Profundo : link What your range MIGHT mean : link Also - not many fit perfectly into a range. And this isn't even all the notes, as really astute people know. |

In case you are wondering, I AM studying music (at Leiden University's faculty of Performing Arts (Faculteit der Kunsten)), and know what the fuck I am on about, yes? iGSM told you his vocal maximum, and minimum lowest point (the lowest note being his highest possible lowest note; we know that he can sing that one, and we have no reason to suppose he cannot sing any lower). The only thing that you could possibly say about his vocal range based on the info you got is that it ranges from a lower than C4 at least to a rough maximum of D5. In other words, you know that he can master the complete 4-octave, but nothing is known about his lowest point, and you can thus say NOTHING about it.

link ^ B-2, the B two octaves below the piano. You can't actually "hear" that note, it was picked up by frequency detectors. link ^ G2-G10. I'm sorry, but in all likelihood, your range loses - even if she fudged several octaves, you would still lose. link ^ More proof that Tenor's aren't human. ;) There are many singers with greater range than you will ever have (unless you are perhaps one of these three or a contender reading). Freddie had "three" (or "four" with falsetto). You don't need to have a HUGE range to be a good singer, to reach people and make them happy. There are many singers whose names you know who aren't contenders for a HUGE range ranking - and people still love them. Knowing your range helps if you're interested in singing already-written classical music. So that you know what would "suit your voice" (though that's more than just range). But for people like Freddie - the songs weren't written for a "range", but for a person (though some classical music was written with a particular singer in mind). |

Damn, I don't ever wanna grow up.Speaking voice is usually higher by about 1/3-1/2 an octave when likened to singing-voices. In fact, the most usual timbre for men is a (high) baritone, followed by a low tenor. Being a high tenor myself (best tonal quality in the D4 area and up), I find myself in a rarer position, but only slightly. From the experience I've had with music classes, the voice-types are about equally divided (I was in a group in school which turned out to be one bass, two baritones, one tenor and one high tenor (me, though I usually sang the soprano-parts, just an octave lower)). |

I can go from G2 to E4 somewhat comfortably. If I focus I can hit as low as E2 and as high as G4 so I'm not sure what that makes me. I think it's somewhere between a bass and a baritone.

^ There's nothing wrong with being a Baritone. If anything, there's an over-abundance of guys who "want to be a Tenor" - where they end up pushing themselves and messing up their voices or just being mopy. Some guys seem to have a "problem" with being a Baritone or, heaven's forbid, Bass just like some girls in choir are personally offended when classified as anything other than first Soprano. I don't see what the big deal is (especially in high-school choir where "Soprano" is basically "barely Mezzo" and most all of them do that nasal-y singing where they try to sound like five-year-olds which ruins any talent they possibly have). There's a lot of love for baritones out there, after all. And I would like to state that when watching some Andrew Lloyd Webber Tribute Concert, the most fascinating singer was a Baritone. I heard Cecilia Bartoli (a Mezzo-Soprano) sing a wonderful Rossini aria. I'm just a little sick of "I wish I were a Tenor" or "I wish I were a Soprano". Maybe I'm bitter because I just wish I knew if I were a "Mezzo" or "Soprano" in the first place ! You're lucky if you know - at least you have something to work with and have gotten some kind of step in the music world more than HS choir where most of the girls are they to talk. /whine-rant-pep-talk |

i actually prefer not to know. i don't like telling my octave range, since it changes all the time, depending on health issues or climate. i live in a a place where weather is far from consistent and that can really mess things up. plus if i dont tell myself what i am, i wont be stuck in one area. plus i truly believe its a mental thing. im perfectly comfortable in the high soprano, just as i am in the alto/tenor area. this is why i enjoy yma sumac's music, since she is the same way. so i could be labeled, but i feel it would be wrong. i have coloratura abilities, but i prefer not to use them. they dont sound bad, i just dont feel the need. too much sprinkles ruin a good cake ;-) if you were to hear my speaking voice its a little on the lower tone (but oddly enough i sound youthful on the phone) so im actually just as comfortable in the lower range. but most of my life i have sung the soprano sections, be it mezzo or high. someday when i find a decent working microphone, ill share some songs with you guys and maybe send some constructive criticism my way :) im curious to hear what people really have to say about my voice. i haven't been told anything bad so far, but i wonder if its out of patronizing :/ plus im sure some of you wont hold back on being mean since its not to my face :p |

I guess I'm working myself into a tizzy about it even though it's not at this moment terribly important. I guess I just want to know where I "best fit". I "can" sing a lot of things, but "should" is probably not part of all of them (vocal health as well as "Ow, that sounds awful"). I'm also curious if my voice will "richen" into a more "Mezzo" sound or if the top notes will "come in" - or how far you can "fill them in" with training or if I'm stuck as I am. This question goes out to anyone dropping eaves. :P Please (I'm seventeen at the moment ! With no sign of wisdom teeth ! Why ? Because I'm not WISE !) ? |

well i did open mic night at my college, its usually a gathering of my musician friends and we all jam and stuff, but i actually sang. it wasnt my best, but it was something. ive been unusually tired today, stressed from hw and such, and when your instrument is a part of you (for anyone who plays the innuendo game, i just won) tired+singing doesnt work too well. but it was fun. i sang 'plush' by stp. i figured since my lower range is prevalient when im tired, id go with that. id like to pick a queen song that is well know, semi-simple with no piano/keyboards that i can sing to. so theres my story, goodnight :) |

^^That would be so cool!! I'm sure you were good. STP is a pretty nice band, what I know. I bought a microphone last weekend...and I was going to record meself singing. Then I did. And it sounded terrible. So I think I'll do some warm-ups and get my voice well, then I'll see what happens. :D |

HAHA a vocal range thread. I got up and sung on a stage for the first time in my life on Wednesday. And it was a song I 'wrote' but have never sung (not even at home, because I don't want the family to hear it). And it was *AWFUL*!! I made up the melody on the spot, just about... I made a sound that might equate to a B in some quarters, but it was *not nice*.... I don't think I'll sing again. :) |

So I think I'll do some warm-ups and get my voice well, then I'll see what happens. :DIt depends on the microphone you bought. Some cheap toy ones really do lose a lot (I know - my microphone I use on the computer was probably made in the 90s - like my computer). And all mics are different - even professional studio or stage mics do different things to the same voice. You already do sound different to other people than you do to yourself. A microphone can do a good job, but you might not be used to hearing yourself from an "outside" standpoint. Now, if you're singing along with something like Queen - it's possible that Tenor range is just not a happy place for you to be (I for one sound absolutely drunk in the range required for "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon" - it's not a "happy place"). Be careful how you warm up, too - make sure to drink water when singing for an extended period of time. Make sure you take note of changes in your voice. For instance, I CAN sing along to O, "Sweet Transvestite" - but if I did that more than once my voice would be really sore - same goes for if I were to sing higher than Soprano C for a long time (I did that once - DUMB idea, my voice hurt for three days). If you want to talk on MSN about it more, just let me know whenever the thing works again. :P |

certain days i can sing above the 'high c's' but only every so often. i used to be an extereme soprano :-p so i resang 'plush' in my car....i wish i sounded like i did today yesterday. i think it wouldve been much more impressive. |

I sound very flat.. I could upload a song for you with me on vocals... but you will be terrified while listening. |
