Whats the singable vocal range of the average guy. Are they the same or different.?

Question

I know that men have a lower range than women but are all mans ranges the same. What is a normal mans range on the piano in relation to middle C. Can the range be expanded. If so, how.

Answer 1

Vocal ranges can always be expanded. It just takes a lot of work. I myself am a counter tenor. That means that I have the highest vocal range of men. In relation to middle C, my vocal range goes down to an F sharp two below middle C and a C sharp above middle C.

It really just depends on the individual. There are basso profoundos (absolute lowest), bass, baritone, bari-tenor, tenor, and counter tenor. There really isn't an average. It's all about the individual.

Most men however can go anywhere from two G's below middle C to an A above middle C. I'd guess that's close to average if you're looking for a dead on range.

Answer 2

All singers, male and female are different, there isn't a 'normal'. The range you have may be expanded by good coaching and a lot of practise but wouldn't change a tenor into a baritone etc. It's all to do with shape of larynx and flexability in the vocal chords!

Answer 3

There are different voice parts for men. The lowest voice part is bass, then baritone, and finally tenor. Some tenors can can sing middle C is a little bit higher in falsetto, but it's a stretch as far as I know. Vocal ranges can be expanded with practice, though every singer as their limits.

Answer 4

Yes, range can always be expanded. I have a friend who sang barritone until his voice developed more in late highschool/early college, now he sings tenor, but can hit high C's in the treble cleff. This amazing vocal mobility id purely from vocal training; he takes voice lessons and chorus. Consistant practice of warm-ups strengthens your voice, and range.

Answer 5

Everyone is different, and age makes a big difference too.
