First, I don't understand very much about that topic, so please try to explain it very simple ;-)

Is there an "average" vocal range?
What would you consider a "large" vocal range?
How can I find out my own vocal range?

An average, as in untutored voice: about an octave and a half.
A large vocal range: anything over three octaves.
To find your own range, spend some time with a piano, finding out what the lowest note is that you can sing comfortably, also the highest note. Not all of the very lowest or highest notes will be "usable". You wouldn't want anyone to really hear them, except perhaps a voice teacher. The ones that are usable are your actual working range.
Like track runners, who train themselves to go beyond their discipline distance ( 100 meters, 500 meters, etc)
so as to make sure they can endure for their stretch, a good singer will gradually try and claim some of those unusable end notes, so as to strengthen the middle, where most singing takes place, after all.
Best wishes and keep on singing

Your vocal range is simply how high and low you can sing. I think the average vocal range is 2 octaves or 24 notes. If you have access to a piano, you can sing along with the pitches of the notes and see how high and how low you can go without hurting yourself or sounding awful.

I'm not quite sure what a large vocal range would be... there are people with HUGE ranges (opera singers) and people with no range.

What's average for a soprano (high voice) is most certainly not average for a bass (low voice). Likewise, a large vocal range is kinda hard to specify...I can cover 3 1/2 octaves, but not all of that is musically or professionally useful. Your range? Have a seat at a piano and just see how high or low you can go without straining your voice.

it depends on how deep your voice is and its potential. if your voice is deep than you dont have much of a vocal range to hit high note etc. Do you remember Dawn from Danity Kane? Yeah because her voice was so low she didnt have much of a vocal range which is why she struggled with some of their songs meant for people like Aundrea or Aubrey who had vocal range. I dont think theres an average vocal range...You can find your vocal range by simply singing and seeming how high you can sing...like the notes and how low...i guess hope this helped!

For a male it really is a really intense variety, so i'm assuming you advise that your modern-day variety is G2-E4. bear in thoughts that C4 is center C. if that is the case, you're a baritone. Baritone is the most generic male voice type. Baritones can in many circumstances sing round 2 octaves from G2-G4, so there likely are some larger notes you're yet to attain. yet do not rigidity your voice for them or attempt to push your self to attain them. likely acceptable to finish a touch extra preparation on your modern-day variety. And in case you sense like you're waiting to sing some larger notes, do in simple terms it gradually to avert detrimental your voice.
