A bari-tenor is a mix between a baritone and a tenor. Both are men's voice types. A tenor is the highest for a man's voice, and a baritone is medium pitch. A typical range for a bari-tenor is from low G to an F. Lyric describes a "medium-sized" voice with a warm colour that's comfortable for singing along. I hope that this helps!

One example would be Placido Domingo although he sings mostly tenor roles, he has the smooth line of sound that a lyric should possess, a warmth and roundness in his sound, a lot of depth and character. I think at some point (if you are the bari-tenor) you'll have to switch to one or the other for professional reasons. If you don't plan on singing professionally then it's probably not going to be an issue. If you would like to hear what I'm talking about play an aria by Pavarotti and then play one by Domingo....very, very different voice types due to Domingo having baritone qualities.

A "lyric" voice tends to be more light and flexible than a "dramatic" voice. Lyric tenors are able to sing high (professionals sing up to a B-D on the treble clef in chest voice). Baritones are a mid-range male voice. Typically they sing as low as a C (2nd space bass clef).

Just to give you an example of color/timbre in comparison of a lyric and dramatic: lyric = yellow dramatic = purple

You typically hear lyrics singing most of the melismas (one syllable runs) due to the flexiblity of the voice.

Hope that helps!
