I'm fifteen and have a range from (D2-F2)G2-E4. Well in the mornings, just after I'd woken up, I'd have a tremendous low register. Well, now when I get up I can barley hit an F2. Throughout the day my voice fluctuates from allowing me to hit the D above Deep C with power to not even being able to sing below the bass staff. At various times in the past two months or so my voice has dropped into the profundo range for a day or so and then risen back up. I've heard that voice the voice begins fluctuating rapidly like this that it'll be close to mature in about six months. Then I read that bass voices don't develop until close to 20 or 25. Also, singing in a semi forced head voice allows me to then drop down and sing in the bass register. What can having this quite low register at my age mean (contrabass later in life)? How much longer could it take my voice to develop? J.D. Sumner worked to become a bass starting at four years old, any ideas on what he did to develop his voice? Thanks

Also, my range had diminished about a third or so in the past two months aswell. Usually the top one or two notes of my range is falsetto, unless I belt.

It sounds as though your voice is changing. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do besides wait it out. Keep singing, but don't push it. If you push your voice to go too high or too low you could ruin it (ie. get nodes). Make sure that you warm up really well before doing any singing and if the notes aren't there, then just leave it and try again next week. As you get older your voice is always changing, you're at an age where it's a lot more obvious though. You'll find that your voice will continue to develop well into your 40's if you keep at it. Don't be discouraged...just go easy on it.

The only thing you can really do is wait it out and keep practicing singing. Maybe you could look into vocal trainers. They would probably be able to show you some ways to focus your voice so you have an easier time of it.

I don't know. I always wanted a higher voice that sounds good with guitar and piano, but I got stuck with a deep one. If you are a bass voice it will come naturally, whether you want it or not.

It sounds to me like your voice is starting to break.....I think the best you can do for yourself, is too continue to practice as you have been, do you do tounge trills and lip bubbling through your entire range....and warm up properly? i hope so because this could be causing strain on your register.
