How do you know/find your vocal range?

Answer 1

To determine whether you are a Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, or Alto (females only), or Tenor, or Bass (males only) will be determined by your "tessitura". Soprano = C4-G5, Alto = G3-C5, Tenor = C3-G4 Bass = G2-C4.

See below to find your tessitura and extended range.

1. Get yourself situated in front of a piano.
2. Start with middle "C" and match the pitch singing "ahh" or "oo" or "ee".
3. Begin singing along with the piano and move one key at a time including the black keys up (to the right) and keep going until you can no longer produce the same pitch as you are playing.
3.b. the last pitch you were able to match is the highest note you can sing. Middle C is equal to C4. Every octave above that goes C5, C6 etc. So you can label the pitch as D5 etc.
4. For your lowest pitch of your range, start from middle C again and work your way downward. (Octave below C4 is C3, then C2 etc).

For your "Tessitura" (the range in which is most comfortable to sing), you simply limit your expanded range to the notes that are easiest to sing comfortably, using the same process beginning from Middle C above and below.

Answer 2

You'll need a piano (or keyboard) or guitar to check the notes to. ( wind instruments just create more of a time problem)
Pick a note, any note. Try and match it up to your instrument. Try the next one lower. If it seems easy, keep going to where it sounds like gravel rattling in the fry-pan. This is probably where you stop at the lowest edge of your voice.
Find that beginning note again. ( The fact that you picked that particular note may have a good deal to do with where the middle of your comfortable range is, as opposed to your absolute range) Go up, one note at a time, as you went down. Make sure that you don't try and push your voice out, or that your throat, mouth, jaw or tongue are getting too tense. Any tension there will only get in your way.
As a rule of thumb, if you are a soprano, your range will be from middle c or slightly under it, to a high c, two octaves above. the high c might not be your prettiest note (yet), but with training, that can be worked on.
If you are an alto, you will find yourself much more comfortable from g below middle c to two octaves above that. Again, that top note might not be your best, but if it's there...
If you are a mezzo-soprano ( mezzo means middle), you are, indeed, in the middle of those two.
Again, as a beginner, the notes at the extreme edges of the voice will have very little power or beauty to them. ( That's what singing lessons help with, among other things) You'll also find, even as a soprano, that your middle voice will be the steadiest, and most reliable part.
Please find yourself a good singing teacher, not only to corroborate this information, but to find out more about you and your voice.
Best wishes, and keep on singing

Answer 3

haha. i can not sing to shop my existence. I wish i ought to nevertheless. seeing as i've got already varieties some pointless words and that i'm to lazy to retype them, i'm going to easily say that If this became into yet another universe and that i became into sturdy, i'd in all probability have a very low selection. (I squeak once I attempt to sing extreme....)

Answer 4

You can check your octive range by checking how low and high you feel comfortable going. I'm alto.

Answer 5

ask a singing teacher
or someone who knows
about that stuff
