Yea! Technique and proper voice development will help bring your true voice out along with range. Don’t give up! I am training my voice with an opera singer who believes in big chest voice along with a powerful head voice. It’s really eye-opening how much misinformation there is on vocals since the turn of the century. I am a soprano with a wide range and often get mistaken for a mezzo or alto singer.

Kaji thanks for the video now can show to other people that vocal range does not define your voice type . I really loved the video you need to make at least 3 video that talk about vocal range.
Extremely necessary video! People still insist on wanting to classify a voice ONLY with vocal range! Since there are other factors that define MUCH more than vocal range. I say this because I was already a victim of this error when they tried to classify me as a Soprano just by my vocal range. And of course, I hated it. Because it is NOT correct. This is why classifying a voice is difficult and is becoming obsolete as people stop studying it. And getting carried away with classifying a voice by the range it reaches! Just one factor does not mean that he or she has a certain type of voice. And the worst thing is that people focus on vocal range and voice classification.
The first thing you look at is the voice’s density! Which some people on TH-cam ignore for whatever reason. Calling voices like Michel’le whose larynx literally didn’t develop in puberty a mezzo… simply because she doesn’t sing very high is insane.
@@KajiVocalsThat's why I started to hate seeing people classifying such voices just by their vocal range, like if you do an F5 or a note in the 6th octave they already want to call you a Soprano...🙄... or if you make notes in the 3rd or 2nd octave, you call that singer a Contralto... It's a lot of guesswork and little study. As if a high or low note 100% defined someone's vocal range...it's a mistake that some people still make, unfortunately.
This helps me because am always worried about my range especially having a very rich tone and my voice goes high as a counter tenor and all the time goes back to regular tenor and my natural alto voice this video inspires me to sing how I really feel it at its full potential
Although not on this video but Sarah Vaughan's tonal quality/timber is simply captivating. There is so much color to her voice. Just love listening to her singing voice. Her speaking voice from what I've heard on interviews sounds so much different sometimes like a young girl
@dominicwilemanyes, it’s an epidemic. Many of them also get extremely defensive and angry when they’re presented with thought provoking statements of factual information about the voice
Where the tessitura sounds best in most cases but not always. Some singers do sing in a particular placement or opt for unique techniques to produce a particular quality. MC is a true Alto or or if you prefer to say (mezzo) in nature but she records and performs through whisper in 4th then throw in belts and whistle notes octave 6th octave before recent years.
A useful and very informative video! Ready for the upcoming videos on this topic 😊 Thanks for trying to clarify this vocal debate. Also regarding Italian singers like Mina, Giorgia and Annalisa, some "vocal coaches/experts" end up misclassifying them as mezzosoprani 😅 I saw you commented to some of them under their vocal range videos (probably not under the Giorgia one).
@KajiVocals Are you still collecting videos of contraltos and mezzos who can hit soprano high notes (belts)? That topic is related to the vocal debate upon voice types 🙂
I’ve always been confused about my voice type thinking I’m a tenor bc I naturally have a bright tone and I have a high head voice extension for a male. But then I would get to thinking imma baritone bc my chest voice is pretty limited for a tenor. My highest supported note is about G/G#4 and that takes a huge amount of effort. It almost feels as if my voice “stops” there but I have had little breaks in my voice where I’ve barely touched higher notes. After seeing this video, I still think I may be a tenor but I just have underdeveloped technique. I just wanna hit Bb4+ 😩😭
I'm the opposite. My chest voice goes up to an E5 and an F5 (on a good day), and everyone keeps telling me that my voice is naturally low. I don't have much head voice. I'm left wondering if I'm a baritone or a tenor
@@issakelly8071 Hmmm maybe depends on your lower register as well, how are ur lows? I can comfortably get down to F#2/F2 but everything below that is croaky asf/vocal fry 😭 is this baritone range? Lol
@@onedollarbleach6891 My lower register is laughable. I'm barely audible past E3. I have to use vocal fry. My voice comes alive in my mid to upper register
This _IS_ an interesting Video, here. The words/sentence shown at the beginning of it are true. Higher-pitched (natural) voices _are_ capable of hitting -- and, actually _SINGING_ -- notes in the Lower Register/Range _IF_ such singers are well-trained and have the ability to master hitting them. This same principle also applies to naturally Lower-Register voices hitting and singing high notes as well, including something as commonly heard as men with Baritone and lower-/deeper-pitched voices singing in “ _Falsetto_ ” which is their having sung _up over, above and outside of_ their natural Vocal Range (like in _Sylvester’s_ case). Women who sing lower-pitched notes outside of _their_ natural Vocal Range are shown as well.
How would you calissify Burl Ives? "Lavender Blue", "Listen to the Mocking Bird", "Ghost Riders in the Sky"... I read about him: "He tried to come up with a term for his voice, and never could. Not a tenor, not a baritone". He was a heavy smoker
I love his culture videos and the videos he makes on the history and development of certain singers but he’s rly hit or miss w/voice pedagogy. He was correct in calling Karen Clark Sheard and Natalie Cole Lyric Sopranos but then calls Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin mezzos smh. @@Amazingvocalsandmedia
Now i start questioning myself am i a baritone or a tenor because all this time i think i was a baritone just because my highest note that i can belt out in my full chest was G#4 and i can go low to F2 😓i am surely not a bass because my tonality was quite bright and not heavy as basses ...but i think a tennor can easily hit A4 and above easily right?while me ,i can hit A4 if i really went to it with full effort 😓help me @Kaji to identified my vocal classified 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This video was hugely needed after BMA’s recent video on Whitney’s voice. I have loads to learn and even I’m able to identify Whitney as a textbook soprano. Then again, BMA also thinks that typical mezzos are contraltos, so…
@@KajiVocals I meant scratch my head as in it made me question BMA's credibility. Also, BMA I am assuming is Black Music Archive. This was years ago so please do forgive me if there is any confusion. BMA used to have a series called "What the Fach?" where he'd explain the vocal fach system and would then give like modern day examples of singers. Toni Scruggs was the one I am pretty sure he considered either a contralto or falcon soprano? Sorry for any confusion. Also I specifically remember it being Toni Scruggs bc I am pretty sure she commented on that video sharing how honored she was to be compared to some great examples. Actually, after typing this out I am pretty sure it was like falcon soprano bc Aretha Franklin was brought into the convo.
@@KajiVocals, I remember the “ _What the Fach_ ” series. It _seemed_ to be very informative in its use of “ _Classical_ ”/“ _Opera_ ” singers’ voices in demonstration of what a particular voice-type (or, vocal “ _fach_ ” classification, according to the series’ view) would actually _sound_ like, and then, use examples of that same “ _fach_ ” with -- and, _in comparison to_ -- other singers/vocalists in non-“ _Classical_ ” music genres like “ _Gospel,_ ” “ _R&B_ ”/“ _Soul,_ ” “ _Pop,_ ” “ _Jazz,_ ” etc. Not only having shown examples of different singers’ voices and their vocal types, but the little technical details of _how_ each person would sing, what they would do to _produce_ the notes in a song. _THIS,_ in spite of a difference of personal opinion as to which singers have, or _had,_ what Vocal Range or “ _fach._ ”
@@KajiVocals I’m a singer and want to get training how to know if I’m a tenor or baritone? I sing high and not comfortable singing in the tenor range (I’m mostly comfortable in the alto range) but I know that doesn’t dictate my voice type
Yhup this. Tessitura and comfortable range together. I have a decent range for a baritone, but get me to sing a Bach tenor passage and ill be crying. Counternor is much easier to sing than that.
I guess the tonal color of sopranos does not change from low to high? But contraltos and mezzos change when they hit upper notes? Am I right or my analysis is wrong?
Outside of opera or classical singing, types are not applied to voices, because many singers have a very marked style which changes their voice color, vocal range and resonance. For example, someone who sings Nasal and with a high larynx will have a super strident and bright voice with ease in the high, but that does not mean that is a soprano.
In good training voice types certainly are applied. Voice types are to do with one’s voice anatomy. This is what voice types this video is referencing.
Caleb Hyles I think is a good example of this fact. Squeaky Alvin and the chipmunks chicken Tendie voice and has squeaked out a weak C2 before. Also wanted to hear your thoughts on Chris Cornell's voice type and his voice in general.
I wonder why that guy from the comments section in the Freddie Mercury video is always trying to get after you all the time complaining about you getting people's fachs wrong.
@@KajiVocals wow most people are very sure she is a contralto but she sound womanly to me. I guess she is a low mezzo or somewhat closer to contralto with age

@@triciaerimo Are you judging someone’s voice type off the speaking voice, really? And yes, he has passaggio issues. The approach for middle and higher notes isn’t consistent.
