I was in a 13 boy choir when I was young and during one of the rehearsals the teacher heard that my voice had broken, so he pulled me out of the choir and that was the end of my singing. There was no coaching to work through my broken voice. Now at 63 and retired I have decided to try again as I have been told I have a good singing voice but I’d like to fine tune it. Not too old I hope?

I’m convinced school choir teachers are some of the worst enemies of singing. As a woman and even as a girl, I have always had a very deep voice. I loved singing in middle school. First the teacher put me with the boys (most of whom had higher voices than mine). Then she said she wanted to organized the chorus with boys on one side and girls on the other. I didn’t fit so she yanked me out of chorus. Now at 66, I’m taking voice lessons. My teacher, who is classically trained, says if she’d gotten hold of me decades earlier, she could have made me an opera singer as I have the rarest of all female voices, a deep true Contralto (versus Mezzos who can dip down into lower notes) and huge lung capacity. Doesn’t matter, I’m having a blast learning and have, after only a few months, have expanded my range upward.

I'm a contralto I can go as low as B2 and as high as C5. Most comfortable in C2 to B3. Growing up was told I can't sign, because everyone was trying to put me in what they called second soprano. Found out I'm very good @ marching pitch with Stevie Nick's, Tracy Chapman, & Peggy Lee. Good video.

Want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for walking me through the process. I have searched through so many videos trying to find something that explains the vocal sweet spot as well as you do. So many of these KZfaq videos emphasize "range" over "prima voce/tessitura", which made me in particular reach for all the notes I thought I had in performances. After watching my videos back I was always upset with how it didn't sound as good as I thought it did when performing in the moment. Now I know where to focus and how to develop around my prima voce. Thank you again.

Great video! So helpful. I've always known I have a low voice for a woman, but this certainly confirms it! My full range is F#2 to C5 with a comfortable area of A2 to G4. I find I have to switch octaves a lot when singing along with the melody of hymns at church, so I usually opt for trying to sing harmony, which gets tricky when I can't figure it out on the fly. Our hymnal has no notes and hymns are sung acapella.

I'm glad you mentioned tessitura, as many people mistake range as as the way to define voice type. I would also add that range can increase and even prima voce may change with good training. I thought I was an alto but after training with my maestro for some years, was surprised to find I was a light soprano!

@geminikid1617 5 күн бұрын

Said it perfectly. That’s 1 of the biggest misconceptions in singing today. A lotta so called “Altos” in today’s society are simply untrained or underdeveloped sopranos. I’m glad you found your true voice.

@vikkiflawith Hi, can you tell me if they are only considering the chest voice as the real range. The internet had so many different answers around this.

@vikkiflawith Күн бұрын

@@INXS- The chest voice is only part of the voice. We have two resonating chambers, chest and head. The issue with many people is they don't understand vocal technique and do not know how to correctly transition between chest and head. With correct technique and practice this passage should become easy to negotiate and in the end the chest and head should feel like one voice. They have different qualities of timbre but a properly trained voice is a kind of 'blended' voice where the transition from low notes to high notes is easily done. Most people, with time and patience and good training, can increase their range. A singer is like an athlete- most of us can run for the bus but most of us can't win gold in running at the Olympics without good coaching and good form. So many of us can sing to some extent but without training our voice can't do everything it could possibly do. With training, the expanded range sounds normal and naturally done. We work very hard to make it sound easy :)

@karensky3456 5 ай бұрын

Very interesting. My voice has definitely changed over the years. I discovered recently how to use my chest voice which gave me a nearly 3 octave range, which was surprising. I also discovered that with this range, I can sing either alto or mezzo. Maybe it's time to start singing again.

Your so right about individual voices. I trained as an Opera singer, then went on to do a degree in Jazz. When I was training my voice was categorised from A2-------D6 although I have a whistle register up to A6. My Prima Voce is E3-------D5. My voice type was categorised as Colouralto Contralto. Very rarely hear it much unless people are talking about singers like Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper, Tracey Chapmen or Toni Braxton.

Cyndi Lauper is a Mezzo - even Lady Gaga has better low notes than Cyndi does. Where did you hear that Cyndi is a Contralto?

@_MYSTIC_ 2 ай бұрын

@nextleveljourney6612 Several well known songwriters and Opera singers, like Monserat Cabali, remarked on her Contralto range. Although she falls into that bracket, she can also hit very high notes which are mezzo soprano. But her comfortable range is Contralto. Some of her work from the very early 80's, not the obvious stuff is more representative of Vocal range. Songs like "I'm gonna be strong". Been a fan of hers for over 38 years so have heard a LOT of her work. Lady Gaga has a great voice but I reserve judgement until her career has been as long as Cyndi's and she is still singing her songs in her 60's as well as she did in her 20's. People write her off so fast. Kind of funny really.

@_MYSTIC_ 2 ай бұрын

@nextleveljourney6612 Dont forget Cyndi routinely sung in her upper register, especially in the late 80's and 90's due to vocal fashion and because those top notes cut through a fuller live band sound. It's not how high the vocalist can get that denotes their vocal type, it's where their voice is most comfortable and warmest!

(I can hit a C2, sometimes even lower, but it's situational). I was obsessed with my low end and "bass cred" for so long before I quit smoking and realized how high I could go, lol.

I've always had a difficult time finding a prima voca because I can sing comfortably from F3 to F5. My range is B2-B5. I could go higher but my voice cracks. My voice teacher told me I was a mezzo-soprano. In church, I am usually given the lead for high songs and harmonies. But when I sing in the 3s and lower 4s, people start to mention the power my voice has. It's slightly exasperating to get all the higher songs, but I'm the only one with the range for it

@davidalbro2009 Ай бұрын

I agree with the contralto range given. I would definitely classify you as a contralto. All of the standard mezzo opera roles go up to B5. That's performance range, not vocalization range as we found here. All voices sound lighter when younger. It's likely that was an influencing factor when determining vocal category by your voice teacher.

@ezziba8240 Ай бұрын

Also I hate G2 when I sing low, I feel happy to sing low at C3 or E3 though. So I am a tenor. Wow whoooo! P/s: Still can't sing high like those songs on radio sometimes...

@DrDanRobinson 10 ай бұрын

That's fantastic to hear! Discovering your true voice type can be a transformative moment in your singing journey. Remember, while range is a part of determining your voice type, it's also about where your voice feels the most comfortable and resonant. It's great that you're exploring and pushing your boundaries. As for those high notes in popular songs, keep in mind that every voice is unique. Work on developing your own sound and style rather than trying to mimic other singers. Continue your vocal exercises and consider working with a vocal coach to further refine your technique. Remember, singing is not just about range, but also about expressiveness and emotion. Keep up the great work and happy singing! 🎤🎶👍

I've just had another whack at this, and all I can tell ya is that I now don't feel comfortable singing much below A3 or much above F5. That still seems to be where I'm most comfortable. One of my favourite numbers to sing, at the minute, when I hit the karaoke, is 'We Are Family' by Sister Sledge, in its original key, with no- (and please excuse my French), keying-down! Apparently, the range on that particular number's A3 to C5, which sounds about right for me- (that range falls just a few notes shy of the top of my most comfortable range), and right now, I'd consider that number to be my ultimate karaoke party-piece. I dunno what that means, if anything at all! These tests are somewhat tricky for me to perform, 'cos I've never really sung in me natural voice, as ya know, so that high, light Falsetto sound's where I pretty much naturally gravitate to everytime, when I sing now, without thinking twice about it. It's just second-nature to me now.

Looks like I'm pretty much a textbook Baritone. I had a fairly high pitched voice for well beyond my 16th, but in my early to mid 20s it really lowered down. I'm 30 now. I should probably mention that I didn't warm up my voice, have a slight cold, and just woke up, so I'm sure I could extend my range further in a more ideal condition, but I think it's fair to say this suffices for now. It probably wouldn't really change the voice type, just the ranges, I imagine!

I know by practice, I'm easily qualified as bass as I can go lower below C2 before breaking. I'm also able in my upper range to hit above C5. Prima Voce is D2 to A4. By fluke, I have a comfortable range above the male falsetto. The falsetto transition is rough and difficult, but I get past it into my "head voice" and I sing along easily with Whitney Houston on "I Will Always Love You" after the key change, as well as Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" without dropping octave (even the long hum at the end of the song).

Good way to combat lifting is to see the notes as if on a clothes line, leaving the mouth in front of you, that you need to keep straight. OR Imagine a cord running from the top of your head keeping your posture straight, head in neutral position looking outward. Now as you move toward the notes that make you either raise or lower the head remember that your head is held steady by the cord from the top of your head. This may mean you need to use a little more diaphragm power or work on your breath control to give those notes a strong foundation now your head is in a different placement, but it will come. Here's one that my Opera teacher loved to use, that drove me nuts; she would balance a book on the top of my head. My challenge was to sing and keep it in place.

I'm sure it's the diaphramatic breathing and vegas nerve stimulation that is the help for my asthma. It helps relax everything. Luckily, I don't get wheezing. I just can't use my chest voice. I sound like a frog.

I loved music growing up, and always attempted to sing but hated my voice and how low it was. I thought it was just because I couldn’t sing, and had a long way to go to learn. Just recently started singing again after learning more about music and singing techniques/basically learning it’s okay to be baritenor/contralto thanks to this vid! Who wants to start a funk rock band? 🤣

I found out I completely lost my high-range 😭 Just about 25 years ago I was a coloratura soprano in a chorus so I could easily sustain an F6, but now I can barely hit an A4. I guess I'm a mezzo now.

@DavidSupina Ай бұрын

Total range: C#2-D#5 Prima Voce: B2-A#4 I also haven’t been singing as much in the past decade. I seem to remember I could reach slightly higher when I was singing more regularly in choirs. I definitely used to have the lower end of my voice die to almost nothing around F2, and what I can produce around C2 is what I used to get around E2 and F2. I do tend to begin to cough when I push up towards the top of the treble clef. It’s a good sign. I’m hoping to write and record music. I have some work to do, but it’s nice to see I have some raw tools to work with.

Vocal range is A2-D6 with falsetto and prima voce is D3-G4. This indicates that I'm an alto, but I have a light and raspy timbre to my voice compared to all the deep and thick voices that many singers of my voice type are.

Female here, my range in high school choir (16-18 yrs old) was Contralto to Soprano, mostly I sang soprano. I was often switched around into different sections by the choir teacher between alto & soprano, sometimes even added to the tenor section when needed. Now that I'm 51, my range is D3 to C5 and PV is E3 - C4 so that would make me more of a mezzo.

My tessitura for lowest notes and highest notes respectively can be described when I sing : 1. Don William's song : I Recall A Gypsy Woman, Amanda, You Are My Best Friend 2. Engelbert Humperdinck's songs like : Release Me, There Goes My Everything, all with chest voice only. So I think I am a baritone.

@buddhatortoise 7 ай бұрын

Either you have one on the lowest voices in the world or that C#1 is in fry, which doesn't count. If your voice sounds like a creaky door when you're doing it, you're doing fry, and anyone can go super low in fry, and if that was your actual lowest chest voice note, your Prima voice would almost certainly be way lower than A#2 to G#3,

@kato2048 7 күн бұрын

Thank you so much for this Dan! I've been singing as a Tenor for a while but was interested to see if I was some other voice instead. Made my life a lot easier since our ranges line up pretty well. Only difference being that my prima voce did sit a little lower than yours. I did want to ask though, have you ever considered learning subharmonics to extend your lower range? I've started practicing it as a fun project since I do enjoy singing with the basses. I've managed to get to a A1 with subharmonics, albeit shakey and not at all clear, but hopefully with some practice, I'll be able to produce a clean tone.

@nickmeredith002 2 ай бұрын

My range is roughly Bb1 (can go down to a G1 on a good bass day) to Bb5. When I was at uni I could hit a G#6 but I've not heard myself capable of that for a while so I don't think I possess it anymore... However with the expection of Bb5, which probably isn't usable in a song, every note feels equally comfortable. An F5 feels no more or less comfortable to an A4 or an E2. It's all easy. (at least from an individual note point of view) This is actually something I fell into quite quickly on my journey as a singer, back when I had a 1 octave usable range just starting out. Voice classifications don't and shouldn't exist. You are capable of being a bass, baritone tenor or counter tenor. It's just learning and becoming familiar with different areas of your voice. Some you may not even know exist because you've never used it. (I still can't find my whistle register) Learn to use and minipulate your voice in different ways until you are comfortable conforming to any voice type. Thinking like "my range is this to this therefore, I'm a baritone" is restrictive to your actual capability. You are everything in equal measure. You just need more practice in the less familiar areas of your voice, until they are familiar. I remember when I couldn't sing above a G4 without flipping into my falsetto. Now I can sing a G5 easily without my falsetto, as well as hit those low choir notes. Work and practice and believe in it. Your prima voce is comfortable because it's the part of your voice you speak with every day. Learning to sing with the parts of your voice you don't use is what makes you elite and pushes you above these voice classifications.

Me going through second puberty and also being in choir to learn how to control my changing voice. (When I joined I said I didn't know my voice type and instead of checking or anything, the director listened to my speaking voice and was like "First Tenor" but it's been about a half year and I think my voice changed more and I'm having trouble reaching some notes now.) Update: Still a tenor. But I noticed that when doing this exercise, I'm not having trouble hitting notes I've been having trouble with in the context of some of my choir songs. So there must be something up with the way the syllables and rhythms are that are throwing me off. Although the notes I'm having trouble with ARE outside my prima voce it seems because my prima voce is so limited. I got F3 - E4 for my prima voce so just short of a single full octave. While my full range is G2 - G5 currently. Uh since my voice is changing though I'll check again in a few months. I know you said not to do this if your voice is changing, but also I'm not going to just... stop singing for the next 6 years and I want to make sure I'm in the right section in my choir even as the changes continue.

Eb2 is crazy low for a woman! But I have to ask, did you hit that note in chest voice or fry, because if that was fry then it doesn't count, it's lowest chest note that counts. Asking because a lot of people think that their voice is crazy low because they hit a super low note in vocal fry, but they don't know that it's normal to be able to go super low in vocal fry, it's the chest voice that counts. But if that Eb2 is in chest voice that's insane.

In chest voice and chesty mix only my range is Bb1-D5, and also including other techniques (chest-fry, heady mixed voice, head voice and falsetto) my range extends to D1-E6. My tessitura in chest voice is Eb2-A4, my prima voce is F2-A3 and I have a significant amount of weight, strength, fullness and resonance down to A1, so I think that I'm either a lyric high bass, a bass-baritone or a low baritone.
