Using a piano, find Middle C also known as C4 and sing along as you play the note. Travel down the white keys to the lower notes and sing along to each note until you reach your lowest note. Any note within the octave of Middle C is designated a number 4, any note in the octave below is designated a number 3, and so on. Your lowest note will be the last note you can sing comfortably and sustain without croaking or breathing the note.
Write down the note for example G3.

Continue up the scale in your falsetto voice until you find the last note you can sing and sustain comfortably and again write the note down - this note it is the top of your vocal range. The Mezzo has a tessitura of A3-A5 with a lighter vocal weight than the Alto or Contralto, but with enough attitude to let you know how she really feels. The Mezzo sopranos tone fo voice types tend to make the highest notes sound incredibly exciting due to the weight they have in their voice.
The Soprano is the highest female voice type with a tessitura of C4-C6 and the lightest vocal weight of them all. Next, compare the lowest and highest notes you can sing to the voice types cheat sheet you downloaded. But be glad that you have your own unique voice. The point is that the getting the most out of your voice type depends completely on how hard you work at it.
I created a free voice types quiz you can use to find your own voice type. It includes some of the most important factors you can use to find your vocal classification. Until you explained the percensttage of voice types, I had assumed the opposite.
And I understand better how the exercises work to get me to my true voice range by reading some of your other articles. Hey Ronald, thanks for your comment. While individual tessitura will vary by the singer, two octaves is a standard comfortable singing range.
I actually have a tessitura of Bb1-f 4… I am a low bass and am very comfortable in hitting all my notes. I have been working on it for a while. I can regualy sing C6 and recently hit D6.
I tried both you voice type test under both genders, I was a tenor, but the can sing way above the highest note I could choose. As a female, with the dim Sims gone along with the trouble they cause I was Soprano, the highest note I chose was G5, though I can sing higher, that is really THe top of my tessitura or maybe a. And doing it is a buzz. Hey Alexa, thanks for your message. Like I said, these ranges are just guidelines for determining voice type. Go and sing some Eurythmics or Lana Del Rey!
Im not a singer, but maybe you can answer this for me. I just discovered The singer Orville Peck. He sounds like a tenor to me. Hope this helps! When Whitney Houston and Beyonce got up to soprano?
They are mezzo-soprano. Hey Bea, thanks for your comment! I would still definitely categorize Houston and Beyonce as Sopranos. But I really like to think about the weight of the voice. As in: how big of a voice is this? With Beyonce, I could definitely see her as more of a mezzo. Whitney is a spinto soprano, not a mezzo soprano. Hey Jamie, I think we have a difference of opinion here.
I want to be able to use my lower register, but singing that low currently sounds to breathy and i am stuck using my throat. Is there actually anyway to learn how to properly sing that low or should i stick with my higher ranges? Hey Will, thanks for the question. Is there any possibility to a girl to be a tenor? I was Classified as contralto but my tessitura mAde me sing with the tenors and it feels much betTer.
I can reach preety low notes my lowest note is A1 and it is Completely impossible for me to sing anYthing hIgher than G4. Hey Pietra, thanks for the question.
Hope that helps! I would like to point out that Alto is not a voice type. You only use it to refer to the lower female part in choral music which is sung by mezzos and contraltos. Hey Rose, thanks for your comment. I would argue that the Alto is definitely a voice type since almost every singing technique and genre acknowledges it. As far as Gaga and Beyonce, I would say that it can be subjective depending on which song you hear. Alto is definitely one of them. Hey so a big Discu on freddie mercurys singing voice.
In the range of freddie mErcury he had around fOur And Half ocTaves from his studio recordings and sang in tenor. But he was actually naturally a baritone Rather than tenor. And he knew That As well. Hey Morgan, thanks for your comment. I would argue that Freddie was a Tenor that could sing in the Baritone and Bass range as well.
Like I mentioned in the article, vocal weight, tessitura and bridge location are also very important. Just because someone loses a few notes at the top of the voice does not mean that they are a different voice type, since the vocal weight, timbre and bridge locations are about the same.
Then the voice begins to change as we get older. Im a 14 year old girl who auditions many times a week and am often asked to put my voice part on my resume, but since my vocal range is so large, i am not really sure. Wait until your voice has been trained enough as a Soprano 1, then try whistle notes. If that's too hard, try overtone singing. Not Helpful 3 Helpful Use your stomach as opposed to your nose, and push out the notes using your head voice.
Not Helpful 14 Helpful I used to be able to sing higher, but I can't any longer. How can I learn to hit these notes again without damaging my voice? You shouldn't try to belt higher than you can naturally without a proper singer training you.
You can severely damage your vocal chords by trying to belt out of your comfort zone. If the sound sounds strained, stop. Try adding more runs and turns as you are singing. Be free with the music and really just do what feels natural.

This opens your air passage more to allow more air, which will eventually widen your vocal range. Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0. As your breathe while singing, bear in mind the highest note you'll need to support for each breath - that will "trick" your body into taking a deeper breath, and will help you open your throat as wide as possible.
Higher notes need much more room! When your voice starts feeling strong at the higher notes, pay good attention to staying relaxed while you sing, so move around, sing in your favorite places your yard, in the car , and be sure to keep your face relaxed, too. Singing in a calm, relaxed body frame will help prevent throat soreness. If your voice sound breathy and weak at first while singing the higher-pitched songs, don't worry. Add volume and power a little at a time, to let your muscles learn to support the extra effort it takes to sing higher notes.
After about three months of speaking higher and singing just a little higher, you should find yourself able to sing the soprano lines more often. If it takes longer, then so be it.
Not everyone can change their vocal range, and it may take some people a year or more of gradual work to get there. Be sure to use your diaphragm to provide the needed extra energy, not your throat muscles, or you might start getting a sore throat! You'll sound a bit strange at first, but your friends should understand the quest you are on.
Expanding your vocal range is never a bad thing, but if you still have trouble reaching the higher notes, don't stress yourself out or hurt your voice over it. Middle C is called C4 because it is the 4th C starting from the Bass up on the keyboard.
The three male voice types are: Bass, Baritone, and Tenor. The three female voice types are: Alto, Mezzo-Soprano, and Soprano. The bass is the lowest singing range and typically lies between E2 to E4. In the lower and upper extremes of the bass voice, some basses can sing from C2 to G4. The baritone is the second lowest singing range, and overlaps both Bass and Tenor. The typical baritone range is from A2 to A4, and might extend down to F2 or up to C5.
The tenor is the highest type of male voice, typically comfortable between C3 to C5. Tenors generally have greater control over their falsetto head voice , allowing them to reach notes well into the female register.
The alto is the lowest type of female voice.
