Good stuff. Very useful. However I think it's really difficult to definitively classify untrained or really raw male singers. I had to pass through a baritone/baritenor phase to really access my upper chest range.
Very true
What is the classification for someone with Bb1-B1-G5-A5? Mezzo-Bass?!?!
Gotta hear the texture and weight of your voice and where your comfort zone is. Vocal range isn't enough to go by. I can get down to a Eb2 but my voice is definitely that of a mid to high tenor.
B0(30,4 hz) - F3
Are you a man or a woman?
The comfort zone is what really matters. You you would just be a bass not a mezzo. You would be capable of high notes but that comfortable range would be in the bass area. And if it’s not then you would be a mezzo who can reach Bass notes. It really not complicated. I think the most full save way to find your type is to talk in our most comfortable speaking voice without trying to sound lower or higher and you’ll find the range pretty easy.
@@deathrattle216plus “mezzo bass” would “medium-bass”
I'm a mezzo with an extended upper range (E3 - A5 - G6)
we have the same range!
wait same!
Me too heehee
I saw one of your videos and was blown away. Your vocal exercises are unique and offer a different outcome. I digress. I believe I’m an alto. (Obviously, I need lessons of some kind and/or professional vocal training) several people have said my voice works the best with jazz. I did “Criminal” (Fiona Apple) and it wasn’t bad. If you wouldn’t mind suggesting other jazz songs, I’d greatly appreciate it. You go, girl!
I feel like it’s irresponsible to share these kinds of things in this way with new singers.
So many untrained, undeveloped male singers for instance are not going to be able to naturally sing an F4 right out the gate.
Which then leads so many untrained singers to believing “oh, well I must be a low voice then.”
This kind of overly simplified information lacking in critical context creates so much vocal dysphoria for so many singers.
I am a Lyric Tenor who is working with a world class operatic voice instructor and it took me 13 years to embody my upper register beyond a G#4.
I was told for years that I was a baritone by several instructors and to just accept the limitations of my voice type.
I can now sing up to an E5 in full voice (non falsetto) and it doesn’t even feel like my ceiling.
This kind of information is fine when it’s conveyed in a sort of “HERE’S THE WESTERN OPERATIC VOCAL DESIGNATION OF TRAINED SINGERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE ROLE REQUIREMENTS TO SUPPORT A LASTING CAREER” sort of way.
Sure you can argue the whole there are certain common passagi within an anatomical framework that are shared by most singers that designate them as being a lyric singer of any given variety that likely have their registration events occurring at said given points but..
That shit takes time PARTICULARLY when the voice is still maturing and god forbid going through puberty.
I imagine you possibly touch on this in other content but I feel like it’s irresponsible to just post these kinds of clickbait reels that likely pull in so many young singers in wanting to uncover their “true voice type” without providing at least brief context on the dangers of misclassification or that a voice isn’t inherently defined by its range particularly when undeveloped and untrained.
Again, not trying to come at you personally and more so just feel frustrated by this variety of content in general.
Vocal dysphoria?! 😂 oh, 2024, you are an odd era.
Yeah it’s called having a teacher not grounded in reality misclassifying you and leading to years of believing that you’re a different voice type than you actually are thus causing long term damage and faulty mechanics.
I went from being told that I was a low voice and would always be a low voice to being told I was a high tenor by a world class professional and now my singing is so fluid and natural now that I’m not forcing a manufactured sound that isn’t inherent to my instruments capabilities.
Your comment just sounds weirdly ignorant tbh. But the internets just gonna internet I guess.
This was the comment I was looking for. 🙏 Thanks so much, Tanner, for pointing out that the classifications come from a very specific historical context of opera singers (which is analogous to marathon running; it takes very strict training & technique to make sure you don't destroy your body/voice in the process)
Outside of that domain, it's been surprising to me what's actually possible with my upper register (head voice) when I tried adding different vocal techniques to it during the last year or so (specifically the nasopharynx/mask + very, very light vocal fry, which fits a lot of rock and metal)
I was classified as a "bass" in my HS choir (probably because they just needed more students to sing that part), and it effectively made me neglect developing my head voice for well over a decade. I've never been able to go lower than an E2 in my chest register (unless I had a sore throat then Eb or maybe D), and no one explained that these ranges are really for aspiring opera singers nor did anyone say "this range also includes the head voice, which you should regularly practice using to improve its tone"
What made the mislabeling worse was that one of the choir teachers said that bass vocals don't really fully develop until mid to late 30's, so it made me think it was a waiting game for those lower notes. I eventually discovered subharmonic singing which is a lot of fun, but I realized that true basses weren't (usually) singing with that to hit a Eb2 or lower. Thankfully, I unconsciously gravitated towards singing songs by baritones like John Mayer & Scott Hoying which helped me finally realize that my choir teacher was wrong
Ya know, it just occurred to me that the complete disaster that was the "food pyramid" in the US (which mislead a majority of ppl to think most of their food should come from bread and grains) is very similar to what can happen with these kind of vocal range charts. I wonder if there's a better way to represent the information?
Tenor…. As a woman is hard😔😊
Edit: So, somehow I’ve adapted into a mezzo-soprano with an extended range.
You’re probably a contralto and it’s so rare!!
I thought I was alone… it’s hard to be a Tenor as a woman 😂
As a man I wish man that’s like the better side of male rlly in my opinion that’s what I like
Hmmm
Fr. But why tho
Baritone voices may be able to do E2 just fine (maybe with some mild effort but not much) but it's not sung as if though it's in the middle of the baritone's range. The operatically useful range of a baritone is G2-G4.
Im a tenor and my vocal range is from F#2 (sometimes F2 on a good day) to D#6
I'm between mezzo and soprano
My Vocal Range is G2-G5 (Can extend down to as low as E2, but can hit F2 comfortably depending. I can extend upward to A5 in head voice and my Whistles start at Bb5-C7).
I’ve always been told I’m either a Bass or Baritone, but have the range of a Tenor or potentially have the range of an Alto if I become trained, but I’m not sure currently. I’m practicing to become better and am thinking abt lessons and a coach.
My mix is becoming very comfortable for me and so is my lower notes and chest notes as I’ve been practicing and getting better with them too which I’m still building on. My Falsetto is comfortable for me to sing in as always, but my Head Voice is what I’m trying to figure out as I practice the other parts of my voice.
My Chest voice coming from B2-D4 so far (I do feel tension hitting that C4-D4 area though and I am trying to figure it out and build).
Good to know I'm a soprano because I can hit E6 very well if not higher
Thank you
useful information thank you
G3 - Eb6 here!
Is this only for chest voice or does it include head voice?
It includes both.
my lowest note is C3 and my highest is D7 whats my range @@magusl9628
Elvis was all of the above. Amazing gift he was given and so smooth and silky
zohan like silky smooth
No he wasn't, no one is, where did you get that from? I think he was a baritone, just from the top of my head, and not a big range judging only from the few songs I've heard, so you can surprise me with his soprano recordings! 😅
@@magusl9628yes he was a baritone but he had a nice vocal range could practically sing anything. Ok yea no soprano though 😂
@@magusl9628He did have a very good range but his songs were mostly in that baritone range because thats his ideal voice. No one was all of the above but some can look like it if you go only by absolute range and inclue falsetto lol
My Range is D#2-F5, but my supported range is E2/F2-C4. Am I a Baritone, or Tenor?
I’d say my comfort zone is D#2-C4 im a young bass
I am currently in the range from A2 to G5, as a female. Trying to figure out whether I'm an actual contralto or if I have simply developed a larger range.
I am too.
I believe im an contralto bc i can sing from the middle of tenor to like the higher side of alto 😂
you're a contralto with a well developed range. My range isn't exactly the general range considered for contralto, but when I sing casually along to the radio without warming up, the notes rhat are effortlessly comfy, like speaking, are contralto range. perhaps try that?
I’m female and my range is from A0 to C3.
You must be an alien 😂😂 you clearly don't know octaves, unless you're joking.
Then why do other resources quote different ranges for the same voice types?
D#4-A4 is which vocal range
What ab a C2-Bb4-E7 voice type?
First eliminate falsetto notes, and make sure the lows are in chest voice and not fry. Then go by the tone and what range you’re most resonant with and are more comfortable in.
I got like a C#2-G#4 in chest maybe a C2-A4 if it's a good day. so a low baritone.
I felt like i was in my 4th grade music teachers class💀
If mine goes from F3 or G3,to barely F5, could I be a Mezzo? I'm not trained so I can't go too high or too low
smae bro i’m just in a school choir
It would be best to purchase singing lessons from a classical vocal coach.
Wait, I'm confused, my range is A2-C6, would this be like a lower range soprano? Upper Mezzo?
Remember, it's not just your range that determines your voice type, but the color and texture of your voice and where you're comfortable.
I'm supposed to be a Tenor and my vocal range goes from G2 to D5.
Dont count the falsetto
@@lightdropp not counting falsetto.
@@cwilliammusic Then I guess you're a tenor 🤷♂️
im f3-c5 am i a contralto ?
Same question here. For me it's C3 to E5 most days including head voice. Sometimes starting a bit lower than C3.
Pretty much every popular Popsong is to high for me. But singing the songs an octave lower doesn't work from start to end of the songs because then it's too low at certain parts. So annoying. Have no idea what voice type it makes me
I'm new to singing, g3 to e5 is my range. That makes me a mezzo soprano right? Or would I be a contra alto?
I go into falsetto around D4
my full range on a normal day is from the lowest note of alto to highest note of mezzo
I’m alto and mezzo and sprano
I'm either an alto or a mezzo soprano, I can't tell but I think alto because I feel more comfortable singing lower songs??
D3- E6, I can sing even higher but this is my range where I’m comfortable. What would I be, a mezzo?
I am soprano am i good enough tell me pls
G3/A#3 - D5 /E5 but could whistle C6-E6
I fall under the alto I guess. I sing comfortably from F3 to E4 and sometimes a F4 but with my head voice I hit A4
I always feel limited in my vocals and that I should sing higher...
I'm a tenor
Hi Madeleine, I've always considered myself a baritone, but can only barely reach the A4 (A above middle C?) in falsetto. I'm confused, obviously! Could it be my voice is between a bass and baritone?
My voice type is tenor but I can't hit a G2. I can't hit a A2.
Ru a super high tenor perhaps?
What if I'm B2 - A5?? Who am I? What type?
As a soprano, my vocal range is as low as F#3 all the way to A6 😂 lower notes are more difficult but possible - idk why my voice range is like that help… is there any voice range that is higher than soprano?

who am I if i reach E2 to E5? Not always E5 sometimes only C5
What if I am F3-A5? Mezzo???
F3-A7 here :)
For me, my highest is A7 and my lowest is yours but down an octave
@@huoingchieng160dont count the falsetto and whistle range,
Just chest/chest mix and mix voice range
@@NoahDayo-xn2tw oh I rlly don't know lol
I'm not sure... I need help, I am a beginner, and my lowest is G3, and my highest is a F5, I am a female.
I'm a lil confused maybe. Because the only difference between the women is one note why? Are we talking about opera, classical, or contemporary?
What are contraltos and tessituras?
Tessitura is not a voice type like the ones mentioned in this video. Tessitura is the "sweet spot" of your own voice - the notes that you sing most comfortably with a lot of resonance/ring to them. So basically the notes that sound best in your voice. Mostly they tend to be in the middle of your particular range but don't have to be.
Contralto is a rare voice type. Typically used for women with voices that go deeper than the alto range into more of the tenor or even baritone range.
I'm C3-E6 then 😅
Most likely an Alto
Im a countertenor i can sing a little alto
i dunno how to match my voice to the sounds on the keyboard
Im a guy and my range is alto
What is my vocal range if i can sing C5 to G5 ?
Cat
What to do to find😅
If I can sing E3 to G6 then what am I?
What if I'm d3 to e7 😅😅
I'm a female and my range is E1-B5, so where do I fit in on this scale?
How do u know that a particular range is urs, ?
@@neon2623 I've tested it. You can even try testing at home with youtube videos.
If you're tone deaf, you can get someone to help.
Just find a "vocal range scale" on yt, and sing along until you can't hit the notes anymore.
Ur range is wherever your voice can reach, before cracking.
@@me77ki i guess im tone deaf coz i don't know which note im hitting
Bruh, I consider myself as a baritone. My vocal range is F#2-G4.
not my range being E2-E8
Dont count falsetto and whistle ranges
@@NoahDayo-xn2tw E2-D6
@@warriordoghotdog U can hit a D6 mix/chest????? Damn
My vocal range is E2 to F#5 I'm a male what is my voice type?
huhu i dont find mine my vocal range is E3-A5-F#7 i think im soprano or mezzo soprano
g2 to b5 mans which one for me?
I am a B2-B6# what is my voice type?
B2 to c5 (female) so am I a alto? I'm not sure because I can't hit the higher notes of the alto range :(
The thicker the voice the harder it is to train it I’m a baritone and baritones have the most trouble training their voice
You just need to practice to work your way into those high alto notes
@@Jinaria101 I'll try, thanks!! 😊
So tenor is best? That’s me out as I’m a bass.
As a male bass who can hit C2 and lower, i can actually flawlessly hit that freaking sopranos high note.
Wow really?
What about whistle register?
i think whistle register counts... they count it when they determine mariah carey's vocal range
@@chonkydonklage it doesn't really count for certain types of singing.
What abt people that can go like e7-g7 at highest
Still dont understand. 🤷♀️ Lowest c3 highest c 6.
Me being a contralto 😐 I’m a g3 at low and b7 at high the app I use is called sing whiz
Is it free? I have a deep voice, can't hit high notes, I don't have a place in my church's choir because everyone thinks i'm bass.
Yup it’s free
Think im an alto 😮
F3-F5?
Can I be Alto as a male or is that countertenor
My vocal teacher said that alto is a female term
@@user-pf1ee7ht2m Males can fall under alto as well. It's just traditionally used for females.
D3-F6 ?
Dont count the falsetto and whistle ranges
@@NoahDayo-xn2tw okay then: D3-A5
And while counting the head voice and whistle register: D3-F6
I'm a 30 years old male and I can sing from D3 throw F6 without strain and I can hold each note for more then 25sec ... am I human ? plus my tone is weird :/
How the fuck does a baritone hits the low e?
D3-f6 (comfortably) what am I???
Most likely a Mezzo, but it all comes down to tone really.
My voice goes to A2 to G#5. A5 on a good day
😳 that’s crazy that’s my exact range as well we are countertenors 💪🏼
or just tenors depending on where we comfortably sing
help I can go E3 to E6-
nvm I think im a soprano yayyyy
my voice literally dies when I go low lol
i am D3-G4
what am i help pls
Tenor isn't impressive, it's biology.
Why is tenor impressive? I think I’m a tenor.
IM A SOPRANO?!?!!
Lucky
Humph 😤
Erm how about an F2-D4-C6 guy🤡
My full vocal range is Eb2-E8
I hitted Eb8 once and E8 💀
I hope the app was note joking
If say a lil comfortable it is Bb2-B5
So what's my voice type 💀
And my all 7th octivate notes are really quiet
I open my mouth and put High pressure
But it's defo not scream 💀
Alto people--------------------------
Please reply
Seems strange that you wouldn't include the actual sounds from the piano, to try to figure out which voice type you are.
The way that you're describing things, isn't particularly useful for actually finding out your voice type directly through the video.
Какой я тип голоса Диапазон смешаны голос B2 B5 Passagio Ed4 G4 голос ярки лёгкий немнога веса голосе
Can we change our voice type from bass to tenor plz reply 🙏🙏🙏
Not naturally. If you wanna mess up your vocal cords, be my guest.
