@@vikramadityavoleti1895 Mariah Carey sings some low female tenor notes. Her high register is considered to be high frequency range due to whistle notes and there are singers out there that can go over the pianos highest A plus there are bass singers that can go way below A0 on piano. Those voice techniques aren't technically singing anymore it's like listening to trumpet screams or Tuba Pedal tones. Those extended range of notes are used for dynamic performances which means your not singing from the diaphragm anymore at those points. Those notes are being hit not sung from the vocal chords. Most real bass singers or real sopranos can go outside the piano range I'm just giving sharp truth on this subject. Most rare basses or sopranos can have great extended ranges.
My voice is raspy most of the time.. and it breaks If I try to go high.. I've concluded my voice classification is simply "stop", and don't ever try to sing in public
Mariah Carey identifies with being an Alto but she’s classified as Soprano. And I see it because she’s always been more comfortable in a lower register if you really listen to her deeper sounding songs, all while jumping octaves whenever she feels like. She just has that fluidity and I’ll always admire her as a vocalist.
@@ln2559 L N hahaha. I am a woman and as an adult had a church choir director put me in the tenor section after 30 years of me believing I was a really bad alto. (we needed more people in choir, he didn't believe me that I *couldn't* sing. According to this, I am *definitely* a tenor even using my head voice rather than an alto. My full range based on this little exercise is exactly a G2-C5, prima voce E3-A4
when I went down all the way to A1 and hes not playin xD and the boys already are with the girls at c6 and above xDDDDDDDDD my voice is deep af xD so ngl this is good knowledge to know! But you got an Adele voice tbh Adele has a beautiful harmonic type of voice that isnt squeaky.

Because at least twice the trilby correction has be stated, I will ad that I first thought it was a stingy. In the past few years I have discovered the stingy brim hat, which I think just naturally looks like a hat a musician would wear. It also enhances my musical ability and groove, because it all just feels right.
Thank you, Dr. Dan! What an easy-to-understand and helpful way to start out any singer to get more out of their natural voice. I have studied with Seth Riggs in L.A. and find you have great knowledge, a nice comfortable personality, and a pleasing manner that can relate to everyone, old, young, male, female. I am now subscribed and look forward to many more valuable lessons.
@GirlGamer 😁Added bonus, female choirs love us. We can sing so low pigeons fall out the rafters AND we don't need the equivalent of castration, which is the only way an adult male choir will ever get the high notes 😈
This has been the most helpful video on voice types that I’ve seen. Thank you so much! I’m a solo singer, so I know it doesn’t really matter as long as what I’m singing sounds good. That said, I’ve always wondered why my voice sounds so Soprano-esque, despite my most comfortable vocal range being more towards an alto/low mezzo soprano. I’m thinking now that it means I’ve got some anatomical qualities that give me more treble and/or less bass in my tone! Super interesting. Just in case anyone reads my comment and is curious, my range is about D3-F5, with the prime voce taking up almost my entire range, from A3 to D5.
Thank you! sometimes I think my voice like Axl Rose, sometimes like something else, that’s what you say “unique” but recently I feel confused about choosing dynamic mic for live

When you started up the scale I started singing. I was a little surprised when you asked the ladies to join in. I sang in a choir for about 10 years that was professional quality and knew a number of music educators at the college level and was in voice clinics lead by some outstanding choir directors. I was singing second also but everyone agrees that I am a soprano. I assume a metro because I don't have a very wide high range. There are several notes around middle c that I can sing in either head or chest voice. Since I am in my 80s and only sing when I want to, voice classification no longer matters. I'm just glad that I still have a decent singing voice.
Thank you for providing this. I always thought I had a very very limited range and just off this I see my range is vast! Prima Voce is from C2 to A4, max range is C2 to C6!
I'm a tenor with a Soul and R&B training. I can sing C1-B1 (vocal fry) - C2 (lower note in chest) - C5 (high belt) - B5 (mix voice) - E6 (head voice) - C7 (whistle)
Don't feel too bad. I was in choir for 5 years and just got out a little over a year ago and my range is G2 to A4. (F5, technically, but I have major issues with notes outside of my PV)
Some random guy came up to me while I was singing to myself and asked if I was a bass and I said I don't know and now here I am. Trying to learn how to sing
You might be singing one octave above them and maybe that specific range just fits you really well? Also that cracking could ease with practice and trusting your voice more :)
@@goodmoodonsunnydays A lot of people do that without even realising. Or maybe it's just 'cus people are in their bedrooms and don't want peple to hear, so they're trying to do it quietly and don't have the support to go high
Wonderful video! I actually shared it with someone who I thought would benefit greatly from this information. I do notice that many people get quite hung up on voice type. I think it often has to do with wanting to imitate our favorite pop singers on the radio, but I think there may be more to it than that. For me personally, I am a tenor with a lighter/brighter quality to my voice, even more so than most pop stars. It often feels good to know that my voice is unique in this way even if I do not always sing well. Perhaps some men think that since baritone is the most common voice type that to be classified as a baritone makes you an average, non-unique singer with an average vocal range. With this mindset, to be classified as a baritone is a death sentence to your creative and artistic expression. However, being classified as a baritone does not limit your vocal potential and should not be used as an excuse to give up. If you’re a baritone, be the best baritone you can possibly be!
WETREIGN I had thought so but I honestly feel mezzos outnumber altos greatly. Trust me. I wanted to be the extreme female voice like alto or soprano but I’m right in the middle.
The tessitura is more determined by the "color" of your voice than your vocal range especially when you are a beginner. when I began singing, I was persuaded that I was a mezzo soprano, because my vocal range at the time corresponded with it. I was more trained to sing in my low notes, and I didn't knew the technique to sing high. As I took lessons, I learned that I am, in fact a soprano. With the training, my vocal range even expended in the higher notes. If you want to really know your tessitura, the best is to ask a good teacher. It is really hard to determined the tessitura by yourself, since you may not have the proper technique to sing without hurting your vocal cordes.
I overcommitted to a bit and wound up getting a rare audition for a (relatively) prestigious theatre's summer season. This video was indispensible for figuring myself out at the beginning!
My voice sits perfectly in baritone - sans my whistle note (there is a huge gap between my range and the whistle note). Thanks for this video, now know why singing in a higher voice hurts and why I have confused every vocal coach I meet.
That moment when... you don't actually know how to correctly sing along with the notes he's playing, but you're just watching it for entertainment and education.
For real- I decided to sing as a hobby. Was on my bed singing... look up and see a WHOLE BIG BUG ON MY BED. ;) let’s say... we danced. I won though! Then we fought! And I pushed it into a cup from my dads old shoes. And hurried outside. Before trying to kill it with wood but then my sister decided to do the deed... Alas, she failed. Little buddy escaped.
Thank you!!! I have been trying since age 12, Age 24 took 6 months of singing classes with clasical and vocal warm ups. But I did not learn this. Thank you!
@@mirage7879 probably not... the highest tenors reach a belted C5 (chest) at the maximum.. above it tenors starts to mix chest plus head voice. In his case, its pretty much he have to use mix/head register.
I find it fascinating how the vocal range can temporarily shift. When I did this just now, my range was about normal for me: D2 to F4, with a Prima Voce of about G2 to C4. But last fall, when I was singing in choir after just getting over a bad cold, my range was more like G1 to F3; I had to sing an octave below the usual bass part for most stuff, though otherwise the vocal quality was fine. A friend in the bass section was disappointed when I had to tell him that I'm not _really_ an octavist, I was just recovering from a cold.
Actually, I saw that on Mythbusters, and you can't break glass with your voice. They had this singer come in who was really good with high notes, and the glass only broke when an amp was used.
This is so amazing--thank you! I am not overly hungup on my voice range and tend to focus on what I can and can't do (IE what I need to work on), but the mechanics and methods behind vocal range is very interesting. Once my voice (and asthma...ugh) completely recover, I will give this a go. I am guessing it is going to be a while, though :(
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 I am on inhalers, I do yoga and breathing exercises, and I am trying to practice singing. I exercise, too, when I am not bad. Unfortunately, I seem to be a hard-luck asthmatic. No matter how vigilant I am, and no matter that I am religious in taking my medication, I have times (specifically in winter, less so in summer) where my asthma wins. And after trying everything under the sun, I have come to realize that sometimes, you just have to slow down and take a break. I consider myself lucky that I am not severe. Yes, my quality of life is horrible during these times, but I have never been to the hospital or broke low enough to need emergency care. The only thing that gets me out of a spiraling flare is oral steroids, but I fortunately only need a short time on them (most of the time). i am thinking that singing is helping, as I have had major improvements this year in comparison to previous ^_^

I'm just glad that I still have a decent singing voice.
Thank you for providing this. I always thought I had a very very limited range and just off this I see my range is vast! Prima Voce is from C2 to A4, max range is C2 to C6!
Excellent!
He hit those first two notes on the key board and my brain went "WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY"
Julie A you too lol 😂
@@mattnelson8407 💀😭 hell yea I wasn't the only one!!!
he G noted us :( LMAOO
He said son when you grow would you be the savior of the broken the beaten and the damned
Exactly. Then I started singing it😂😂
I must be new at this. When he say's sing to the notes I was waiting for him to tell us how. I'm like ah ok... So like La La La?
jason beebe 😂 "la la la" works fine
😂😂 me too
Right?!
Do re mi fa so la ti do
Lol good im not the only who thought how to sing it
Now I know why Jackson says "heeee..." he's trying hit that high note
My voice range belongs in the sheep range.

From c6 to b7

I'm a tenor with a Soul and R&B training. I can sing C1-B1 (vocal fry) - C2 (lower note in chest) - C5 (high belt) - B5 (mix voice) - E6 (head voice) - C7 (whistle)
I swear i have the smallest voice range
Don't feel too bad. I was in choir for 5 years and just got out a little over a year ago and my range is G2 to A4. (F5, technically, but I have major issues with notes outside of my PV)
@@Adelicows chill man..take a joke
same! i can only sing notes in the 4 category :(
Vocal classification also can't be known unless the voice is fully developed.
Ink King, did you watch the video all the way through? I think I make suggestions to this effect towards the end.
What do you mean by "fully developed"?
@Redstronics - do you mean like that a person is young and their sound is still developing or do you mean that they haven't practiced?
@Redstronics - english isn't my native language
@Redstronics - so i am left with no anwser. Thank you.
Some random guy came up to me while I was singing to myself and asked if I was a bass and I said I don't know and now here I am. Trying to learn how to sing
lovely. I got the worst of both worlds, the range of a bass and the timbre of a tenor. really makes you feel special
Why is it easier for me to sing with songs sang by men? If I sing "higher" I crack and sound like a duck dying of a stroke
You might be singing one octave above them and maybe that specific range just fits you really well? Also that cracking could ease with practice and trusting your voice more :)
I guess your a man...😂😂👍
Don't worry your not alone❤👍😂
I’m the same way but with women.
I'm guessing you're alto. Contralto, is that a thing?
@@goodmoodonsunnydays A lot of people do that without even realising. Or maybe it's just 'cus people are in their bedrooms and don't want peple to hear, so they're trying to do it quietly and don't have the support to go high
I‘m Austrian and you got me with „what the fach“ 😂

This is golden 😆
I just pissed myself a little
I soprano cackled at this
I'm an Alto in Prima Voce. I always had doubts whether I'm Alto or Mezzo but now I'm certain. Pretty cool.
Wonderful video! I actually shared it with someone who I thought would benefit greatly from this information.
I do notice that many people get quite hung up on voice type. I think it often has to do with wanting to imitate our favorite pop singers on the radio, but I think there may be more to it than that. For me personally, I am a tenor with a lighter/brighter quality to my voice, even more so than most pop stars. It often feels good to know that my voice is unique in this way even if I do not always sing well. Perhaps some men think that since baritone is the most common voice type that to be classified as a baritone makes you an average, non-unique singer with an average vocal range. With this mindset, to be classified as a baritone is a death sentence to your creative and artistic expression. However, being classified as a baritone does not limit your vocal potential and should not be used as an excuse to give up. If you’re a baritone, be the best baritone you can possibly be!
AMEN!
Me: can't sing for shit
Also me, an intellectual: I'm a mezzo 😪
@Rhys Middleton all of the above
Rhys Middleton I have no idea. I’m an alto. I think.
Jendeukie&pasta LalisaChichu most people are altos
Yas girl me too
WETREIGN I had thought so but I honestly feel mezzos outnumber altos greatly. Trust me. I wanted to be the extreme female voice like alto or soprano but I’m right in the middle.
uh so i can sing from tenor to soprano notes
what da “fach” we gonna do now
Wow
The tessitura is more determined by the "color" of your voice than your vocal range especially when you are a beginner. when I began singing, I was persuaded that I was a mezzo soprano, because my vocal range at the time corresponded with it. I was more trained to sing in my low notes, and I didn't knew the technique to sing high. As I took lessons, I learned that I am, in fact a soprano. With the training, my vocal range even expended in the higher notes. If you want to really know your tessitura, the best is to ask a good teacher. It is really hard to determined the tessitura by yourself, since you may not have the proper technique to sing without hurting your vocal cordes.
😂 you're gonna keep fach'ing singing! 👍😉♥️
I can sing from bass to about the end of Alto. So idk what that makes me.
Holy fach
I overcommitted to a bit and wound up getting a rare audition for a (relatively) prestigious theatre's summer season. This video was indispensible for figuring myself out at the beginning!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video A W. Thanks for watching.
Darth Vader: I am a new bass force for the dark side; they will never classify me.
man, i really apracciate that you decide to share all you knowledge with the people for free (basically), a hug from brasil!!
Anybody else have the voice type:
Dying Goose?
I call me "robot duck while choking"
My voce is perfect for Autotune.
My voice sits perfectly in baritone - sans my whistle note (there is a huge gap between my range and the whistle note). Thanks for this video, now know why singing in a higher voice hurts and why I have confused every vocal coach I meet.
Ok I'm alto mezzo, but I got a chest infection so who knows how high i can really go
Oh no, are u better now?
@@choisan7164 yeah im fine now :)
Kitan Kate ok good
Kitan Kate how can I know that I have a chest infection?
*What the Fach*
That moment when... you don't actually know how to correctly sing along with the notes he's playing, but you're just watching it for entertainment and education.
I read the description I realized that I was sing la instead of ah
I just stopped listening and started reading comments after that, realizing I wasn't gonna figure it out.
Just instinctively sing along
Ikr. I have no idea either.
First time I've heard of a person's anatomy being included with the range and prima voce. Cool!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Daevyd Jae. Thanks for watching.
my voice type can summon insects out and cast storms of stones into my roof, how powerfully awful is that.
For real- I decided to sing as a hobby. Was on my bed singing... look up and see a WHOLE BIG BUG ON MY BED. ;) let’s say... we danced. I won though! Then we fought! And I pushed it into a cup from my dads old shoes. And hurried outside. Before trying to kill it with wood but then my sister decided to do the deed... Alas, she failed. Little buddy escaped.
Getting a cup, sees a bug.
Puts bug in finger, YEET it across the planet except for cockroaches.
I had no idea what to sing along when he played the piano and I stared at the screen like 👁👄👁
Same here like what am I supposed to do???
@@andrexsintoval3776 it said sing-along with an /AH/ or /EE/ vowel sound

Lowest note: A2
Lowest comfortable note: E3/F3
Highest comfortable note: C5
Highest note: G5
Almost the same as Dr Dan's voice
Im a female and im suuper close to those exact notes!! Wtf
Is your highest note chest?
Lolit Tongol I'm a Contralto. F5 E5 region I'm already in high register function
My lowest is the same as yours but I can’t hit C5 or G5
@@mirage7879 probably not... the highest tenors reach a belted C5 (chest) at the maximum.. above it tenors starts to mix chest plus head voice. In his case, its pretty much he have to use mix/head register.
"Ladies you might like to jump in"
Me: already struggling
I only could go 3 notes past that point. I've got a very limited range.
Like I couldn't even reach the note before he said that
I find it fascinating how the vocal range can temporarily shift. When I did this just now, my range was about normal for me: D2 to F4, with a Prima Voce of about G2 to C4. But last fall, when I was singing in choir after just getting over a bad cold, my range was more like G1 to F3; I had to sing an octave below the usual bass part for most stuff, though otherwise the vocal quality was fine. A friend in the bass section was disappointed when I had to tell him that I'm not _really_ an octavist, I was just recovering from a cold.
After watching several of his videos this guy gives good sound practical advice....
All this time, I thought I was mezzo-soprano, but I'm actually an alto
ShrekIsLoveShrekIsLife
The rarest female voice type:)
@@zain4019 Alto isn't a voice type, it's a choral part, but contralto is rare though.
You're probably a mezzo soprano in voice type though
That might explain why the glass never shatters when you try to sing your highest aye? :)
Actually, I saw that on Mythbusters, and you can't break glass with your voice. They had this singer come in who was really good with high notes, and the glass only broke when an amp was used.
Neat. I can hit C2 to C5. This makes my OCD very happy.

This is so amazing--thank you! I am not overly hungup on my voice range and tend to focus on what I can and can't do (IE what I need to work on), but the mechanics and methods behind vocal range is very interesting.
Once my voice (and asthma...ugh) completely recover, I will give this a go. I am guessing it is going to be a while, though :(
Hang in there, Michelle!

No breathing treatments?
They're miracle workers. Knock it right out.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 I am on inhalers, I do yoga and breathing exercises, and I am trying to practice singing. I exercise, too, when I am not bad. Unfortunately, I seem to be a hard-luck asthmatic. No matter how vigilant I am, and no matter that I am religious in taking my medication, I have times (specifically in winter, less so in summer) where my asthma wins. And after trying everything under the sun, I have come to realize that sometimes, you just have to slow down and take a break.
I consider myself lucky that I am not severe. Yes, my quality of life is horrible during these times, but I have never been to the hospital or broke low enough to need emergency care. The only thing that gets me out of a spiraling flare is oral steroids, but I fortunately only need a short time on them (most of the time). i am thinking that singing is helping, as I have had major improvements this year in comparison to previous ^_^
