What's the vocal range of your fave singer?

Answer 1

Typical range for a modestly trained singer is about two octaves. One can have a very fine career in opera without ever venturing beyond two octaves. The roles which ask for more than that are a minority, albeit a minority that includes some of the more renowned roles. A typical professional opera singer has a usable range of about two and a half octaves, and one who specializes in roles calling for a large range (nearly all of them female) will have a usable range of about three octaves. Typically, an opera singer's range extends about a third beyond the "usable" in either direction. These additional notes are the unreliable ones that are sometimes there and sometimes not, or which are physically on pitch but sound unpleasant (at the top) or barely audible (on the bottom). Opera singers, when they claim a range at all, invariably claim less than they can actually accomplish, because the culture is such that it's better to claim less and sound excellent at one's supposed extremes.

Answer 2

One of my favorite Classical singers is Pavarotti, he probably maxes out at 3 octaves. I enjoy U2, I'd say Bono could probably sing 1.5-2 octaves. The odd thing is this wild claim by Mariah Carey that she can sing 7 octaves....that's almost the entire span of a piano keyboard...not possible. It gives people false ideas about octaves and how they work. I have about 2.5 good octaves.

Answer 3

monotone (bob dylen) but its the words not the vocal range that does it for me
