  • You should sing in full operatic mannered voice to find out what voice type you have, it’s a very wrong example represented here, and the guy could be a basso profundo, not just a regular bass as he sounds here, he is hitting low C2 kind of easily.

  • hey so this is inaccurate! untrained tenors' vocal breaks are around g4. it takes years of vocal training to get to a c5.

  • My book said the word baritone. I heard the word before but never the voice. Then it describes it wigh the word tenor so im here to listen and learn

  • Yeah range should not be the only factor . Which I was taught for a long time . I can sing to a G2 but I am a tenor and vocal timbre Is a great way to identify cause my voice is very bright even in low notes I sound bright and when i started singing I was only able to sing till E4 so I thought for a while I was a bass ????
    Now I have increased my range to an A5 so yippee…????

  • Ive learning to sing. Originally thought i was a mezzo, but struggled to keep up. Worked on my range and strength, and began to suspect alto. But i cant keep up with alto’s either, or even harmonize in the way i was looking for
    Then i started singing metal songs sung by tenors (such as Ozzy Osbourne. Mama im coming home is a great warmup for me,..its gentle). Somehow that works well. I currently have a fairly reliable range from C3-C5, tho i recently reach A2 snd F5 (that F5 was horrible btw, buts its new so its allowed to sound bad)
    So comfort wise, i enjoy songs for tenor. I have no way of judging timbre, so idk what i sound like. But as i strengthen my voice, its kinda losing some feminine qualities, and i noticed my passaggio’s also match what uve been told for tenors

  • 2:18 Tara: "If it were a color, it would be dark maroon"
    Jainan: Yes, dark… maroon, that's exactly the color I was thinking of

  • Here's an interesting thing for me:
    Natural baritone
    My range (prime/secondary voice) is interesting. I watched a Ramsey Voice video (and a Dr. Dan's Voice Essentials) about range and saw that my prima voce is B2-Bb4 and my secondo voce Eb-Bb2 and B4-F5! One way I confirmed the high end was "Somebody To Love" by Queen (I could keep up with Mercury!)

    About 3 years ago, a friend of a friend and choir director classified me as more like a Bass 1, and my range at the time was the typical bass E2-E4 as a whole.

  • Is it possible for me to be a natural soprano as a man my talking voice is naturally high but more importantly my singing voice is bright and high like Ariana grande or Tori Kelly

    Reply
  • I personally believe a bass should be able to at least get down to a C2, anything above that is a low baritone

    Reply
  • Thanks for your explanation, guys!! Really helps to hear it. Auditoning as a bass singer soon….

  • I thought i was a bass because my range was F#2-D#4, after 3 weeks of vocal lessons it is F#2-A#4. What this taught me, is that my tone is softer and brighter than the "tenor" tone the guy in the video shown, and the tenor notes he sang was definitely the more comfortables for me. I can hit baritone and bass notas, but i have to intentionally thick my vocal cords and lower the larynx.
    Maybe tenor makes more sense to my voice after all, guess i need to work on that C5 before. (My lowest note with a neutral placement is around D#3-A#2)

  • There are DIFFERENT kinds of Tenors. Not every Tenor can sing a C5 in full voice. No way. Many Dramatic Tenors who are actually (2nd Tenors) sing from Bb2 to Bb4 or maybe B2 to B4 and they have that high pitched sounding voice. Lyric Tenors (1st Tenors) can usually, (not always) sing from C2 to C4. It's really MOSTLY about the timbre & the tessitura of the voice.
    There are also different kinds of Baritones.

  • Thanx for the information ????????
    When you talk about vocal range, do you include falsetto or mixed voice? For instance, that high C tenors should belt is in chest voice?
    I’m asking because in chest voice I can comfortably go up to G4, but I have at least one more octave in falsetto I can use very comfortably.

  • I always struggle with the high notes as a bass. My natural break is middle C….. on the flip side though I can hit C0 consistently…… it’s extremely difficult to find anything I can sing.

  • im a girl who's vocal range is about d3 to that c5, so around a tenor? i really wanna train to sing lower, those notes are so gorgeous

  • I wanna be a baritone but I think I’m a tenor ugh ???? which would be the best way to accurately figure that out?

    Reply
  • I haven't been in a choir for 30 years and so always thought I was tenor still…can't sing for crp now..but having now tried songs in baritone…hmm…karaoke might be back on…

  • I have bass voice. I can sing to B1. But unfortunately, the favorite voice in my country is tenor. LOL

  • I can easily sing bass notes with no effort though I don’t sound like a bass, I can sing baritone easily but I sound like a harsher sounding tenor even though I am not straining. When I sing Ring of Fire I do not sound like I am trying to go low like Johnny Cash. I can’t sing tenor but I can sing just over the 5th octave in my falsetto range.

  • I love the bass notes! Kinda jealous of it. It sounds amazing. I can go down till D2/C2 on a very good day but it does not sound even close to what he is doing or an actual bass ???? But I won the tenor lottery at least. Can go up comfortably to E5 and can hit notes till A5 but well… I would not call that "singing" ???? My comfortzone is definitely somewhere between D4 and D5. That's where my voice shines. But the bass notes are so cool and they feel the best while singing. Very low notes are so soothing to me either as a listener or as a singer.

  • The whole classification comes from opera and doesn't make much sense if you apply it to pop music vocal technique. In order to really classify your voice type in this way you need to first be able to produce an operatic sound with freedom and full resonance, and then it's the 'tessitura', aka the range in which you're more comfortable singing (with that operatic voice), that really can tell you what's your vocal register. It could very well be that your pop singing voice sounds light and thin and you have easy access to high notes (maybe with a falsetto quality to them) but you would actually be a bass if you learnt to sing with an operatic voice. That's really more frequent than one would think, as it often comes down to the position of your larynx. A high position of the larynx helps you lighten the sound and let you access high notes more easily. If you sing pop songs you're absolutely allowed to do anything as long as it sounds good, and more often than not a lighter tone is more desirable and wanted by record companies. But if you had to sing opera properly you'd have to prevent your larynx to lift, and then you'd probably find your voice to be much darker than you thought it was. Of course there are cases in which it's not so questionable, for example no one on earth could possibly say Adam Levine's a bass without sounding crazy.
