What is a vocal range?

Your vocal range is the span from the lowest to the highest pitch you can produce comfortably and with good tone quality. It is measured in semitones or octaves and is used to classify your voice type.

What are the standard voice types?

The six standard classical voice types from lowest to highest are: Bass (E2–E4), Baritone (A2–A4), Tenor (C3–C5), Alto (F3–F5), Mezzo-Soprano (A3–A5), and Soprano (C4–C6). Most singers fall into one of these categories.

How do I find my lowest note?

Hum or sing down as low as you can go while still producing a clear, controlled tone — not just air or a gravelly rumble. The lowest note where you can sustain a pitch with good quality is your lowest note.

How do I find my highest note?

Sing upward until your voice breaks or the tone becomes thin and strained. Your highest usable note is just below that break point. Include head voice or falsetto if you use it in performance.

Why might my range not match a standard voice type?

Many singers span two voice type ranges, especially with training. Untrained voices often have narrower ranges. Factors like age, health, and technique all affect range. Use the classification as a guide, not a strict label.

What is the difference between chest voice and head voice?

Chest voice uses full vocal cord vibration and sounds rich and resonant in your lower register. Head voice uses lighter cord vibration and produces higher, often brighter tones. Both contribute to your total range.
