What is your singing range?

[Backflipboy]

What singing range do you have? If you know your note range post it below! Are you a:

Soprano
Mezzo Soprano
Contralto (alto)
Boy soprano
Male alto
Tenor
Baritone
Bass


My range is F#2 to Bb4 technically making me a tenor in musical theatre and a baritone in opera. I much prefer singing baritone songs because they are a lot more comfortable. I call myself a baritenor, although roles like Chris in Miss Saigon are very challenging for me. In falsetto I can go up to an Eb6 but I don't count that as actual range.

[Mortal Coil]

Pfsht, well I prefer to sing alto because of the timbre of my voice, but my first bridge sits where that of a soprano is. My range is from C3-E6, so I can sing either (and even most tenor lines if we're short on guys.)

[ChickenCasseroleYum]

Errmmm, I'm VERY out of practice. I haven't sung properly since before my voice dropped when I was like 14. Plus I'm sick right now, so when I tried singing along to some 'What's My Range' video thing on Youtube, the highest note I could hit was a D5 and it was awful, I had to strain a lot. Tho the lowest I could go was F#2 so, THAT PLEASED ME.
I have no clue what that makes me.

tenor

[nick]

I sing tenor, by range is from bass G (bottom line, bass clef) to tenor B flat (middle line, treble clef). I can also sing alto with falsetto to a decent standard.

[Troy35216]

my singing range is from the bedroom to the kitchen.

[Backflipboy]

Interestingly enough most people on the internet sing tenor yet this is the most uncommon range. The majority of people are baritones and a few are basses.

[Empty Spaces]

Alto. And my sister is soprano.

[Jordan Hendricks]

I like Tenor.

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

I have no idea... I cant really go high at all, I play stringed instruments is all. But if you know who Josh Turner is, me singing is like that. Or Scotty McCreery if we wanna do closer to my age.

Josh Turner has a three and a half octave vocal range - up to B4 and down to as low as G1I believe! If you can sing like this you have an amazing vocal range.

[Synyster Shadows]

I'm still undergoing puberty but right now I'm a tenor-ish. G2 to about E4

[Syvelocin]

Umm, well, short answer is Soprano. I've forgotten my high note; it's been so long since I've taken voice. Lemme go check.

Lolz, we're still best buddies, E3 and I. Me and my totally non-existent low range.

I'd have to warm up to tell you the other note, without fully warming up right now I can hit C6 but I recall hitting E or F6 in the past. 'Course, that's while I was doing classical training.

[PinkFloyd]

My choir teacher says I'm a Bass but I can get up to a low tenor sometimes.

[Princess Ariel]

Mezzo - Soprano

[Wonder.]

Bass. I don't remember my lowest note but my absolute highest without going to falsetto is an e flat above middle c on a good day. I can go pretty low though. I hate it. I miss being able to sing like Jimmy Urine.

I want to learn how to sing. Any advice? Tips? Things to learn? Things to practice with?

-If a note you sing is uncomfortable, don't try it again. It seems obvious but yet people do it all the time.

-A great place to start I think is to try some warm-ups. Sing some scales, arpegiate chords, stuff like that. I'm sure you can find some videos on youtube of some warm-ups.

-Don't sing too much.

-Drink a lot of water.

-Unless you can already read sheet music, avoid it for now. Go by ear for a little bit.

-Keep your back straight.

-Breathe between phrases. Don't take huge breaths and don't run out of breath.

-Find someone IRL that can help you with holding in your breath/letting out slowly so you can go longer between breaths.

-Try matching pitch with an instrument. Get a piano app on your phone if you don't have any instruments. You don't need to know how to play a piano, just play a note and try to match it.

-Finally, don't assume you're good. You don't need to be a good singer to be a good musician, but singer's who think they're really good (even if they are) and they brag about it are really annoying.

There are some jargon that I don't understand. What do they mean, and what do they do? There are more, I bet. And I want to learn those, like the one written in OP.

I want to learn singing while I am learning the Piano. It helps I guess. A good hobby to pass by time.

You don't even have to go through all what he's saying. My big recommendation Faris is to just sing. Stop thinking about learning to sing, and sing all the time. Sing in the car, sing in your room, just sing regardless of any anxiety or opinions. The worst thing to do is to get lost in fear or just wish you could learn. I haven't taken voice lessons in four years, but I find myself improving all the time. All I do is sing every time I'm in the car. Experiment with your voice, but know if it hurts, best not to do it, that kind of pushing should be reserved for vocal coaches.

You may sound like crap for the first months/year of this, but it's just so much better than not singing at all/singing once a week. And getting over any "stage fright" if you have it is always a good idea.

But warm-ups are still useful. You mention piano, and having piano knowledge already gives you a great advantage. I studied music theory after I started singing, and it really helps to have even a basic knowledge (but actually being able to play piano is great as well).

Play and sing your warm-ups at the same time. It will help to keep you in-tune. A basic warm-up: Start at a low but comfortable note, any will do. Play 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1, e.g. C D E F G F E D C. Then move up or down a note and play the same pattern. Do that until you no longer can hit the notes comfortably. You can choose to say 'la' or 'mi' or whatever suits your fancy. the vowel you sing really only matters based on the technique or range you're choosing, but you don't have to worry about that.

mines bad to aweful!

[Dooby the potato god]

Mine: Not at all -> ... Not at all.

I don't sing.

[Magenta]

Low tenor to incredibly high soprano.

Can't remember the exact notes but I am a "swing" singer in choir so I'm learning all three (tenor, alto, soprano) parts for all songs or more if there's a second soprano/alto, etc.

My highest note is that D or Eb at the end of Phantom of the Opera (the super high one) plus I can also manage to sing that aria from The Magic Flute (if anyone knows the one I'm talking about) and I'm not sure what my lowest note is but I can sing down in the lower tenor register quite comfortably although the guys tend to stare since I joined the tenor section as an extra voice. I'm a decent ways into the bass clef -- some of the actual male tenors have to stop singing in warm ups before I do when we're going down the piano.

[-]I have something like just over a three octave range since I've been singing for about six years now and have been working in a choir for just as long -- studying music for double that. I've worked a lot to have such a large range.[/-]

[Jonathan1998]

I'm sort of in between Bass and Baritone

[Lil Red]

I can sing bass 1, baritone, tenor 2, tenor 1, alto 2, alto 1 and soprano 2
My favorite part to sing is alto 2 and my range is A2- G6
And yes I'm a girl I just have an amazing range

[MusicMaker99]

I'm a baritenor (wannabe tenor). I have a pretty lyric baritone voice with a decent top and on the verge of being operatic.

My range on a good day is B2-Bb5 probably...

Solo repertoire I've sang has gone to G4. Choral repertoire I've done has gone as low as B2 (Bogoroditse Devo-Rachmaninoff). My ideal range however is about A3-F#4.
