    This video definitely helped me some although I’m still confused af about my voice type. In high school I was told I was a baritone but since then, I’m 24 now, I’ve been told I’m a “lyric” tenor. My range is G2-G5 but I can only be full voice from D3(I think, the one right above that G2) to A4(I think, the one below the high C). I can’t belt out those really high Cs like they do on broadway or opera which bums me out but I can climb up their relatively easily, it’s just not quite as full. It’s not falsetto but not chesty, not sure how else to explain it. Last role I portrayed was Drew Boley in Rock of Ages and let me tell you, that show was definitely the most challenging role I’ve ever portrayed. *i put the parentheses in there because I can’t read music so Im not positive on the numbers but I know where they are in relation to others*

    This video is very good. The main point is that contemporary singer Tenors sound much different from a Classically trained singer. However, you can be a contemporary singer and have a high C. David phelps is a perfect example.

    • @eternalsilverlight
      @eternalsilverlight 4 роки тому

      By the way I noticed there was a comment where you say that tenors use a "ahh note" due to their brightness in their voice. But Technically the voice should not be making Strong E or I sounds after a certain part of the voice. For the Tenor voice they normally start flipping to an Ah after G. You can take other vowls higher but it's not recommended. I'm classically trained singer for the past 2 years.

    Hi Samuel Bradley, i love your channel and videos, very concise and straight to the point.
    I've always been in self conflict with myself because i can't seem to figure out my voice type.
    I can have a total vocal range of C#2 to Bb6, but i am most comfortable singing or vocalizing at E2 to E5 (F5, when i am well warmed up).
    My low notes and chest voice is supported from a D2 to Eb4 respectively and my voice shifts into a much lighter placement from F4 to C5 (From F4 i can't sing with my full voice), from C#5 to F5, my voice sounds belty, heady and nasally placed, as i can even sing up to an A#5 when i sort of place the notes in my nose region, my voice flips into a flageolet from G#5 all the way up to Eb6 but i can't seem to sing here or readily access this part of my range, but i can make sounds like exclamations using reversed phonation from A5 to Bb6 (C#7 on a good day)
    I know this is a lot, but i need help
    What is my voice type?

      I'm not 100% sure. But from that clip, your voice sounded very free and natural in that lighter higher place. Had a great ease up there and you didn't force too much weight up there. So it sounded to me like a tenor voice, with its higher timbre. Obviously if you're singing lower songs it may be different. But that song sounded like a tenor!

    If there are double tenor and double bass lines in a men's choir, tenor 1 would be best suited for counter tenors and tenor 2 would be for tenors. However, counter tenors are rare and due to that rarity, some tenors will share tenor 1 with counter tenors and some tenors will share tenor 2 with baritones. As long as there are double tenor and double bass lines, my voice would naturally sit in the range of that tenor 2 line, which is still lower than tenor 1. We, tenor 2 guys, will normally sound beefier than those tenor 1 guys. That is why we sing a little lower.

    • @sambradley8297
      @sambradley8297  4 роки тому

      A G2 is a pretty common note for a lot of tenors. It may be more proficient the higher it goes. But a male voice could often get down to some form of G2. If it's full though, guess it means you just have really good muscle control and know how to keep your chords closed in your upper range and then most likely lighten and mix really well while going higher. Obviously I haven't heard your voice, but it sounds like a pretty nice wide but not abnormal tenor range!

      Wrong, we do sing with our chest. It's just that it's better to use our chest sensation in the lower area of our voice. The higher we go, we still use those chest sensations, but we also let go of all the weight. While the sound feels lighter and softer in our head, in reality it's very loud and ringing.

The sound in the higher area feels less "full" as in the lower area as it sounds softer, lighter in our head. The actual sound produced is actually loud, however the sounds should be fluent throughout the rest of the voice, however the sensations may shift a little.

    Hi Sam, I have a question or two. I can sing F3-F4 comfortably however, I can’t hit notes from F#4-C#5 and when I do it’s always unintentional but I can sing D5-A5 with a lot of ease in chest. When I’m trying to hold notes in the lower 4th register I tend to go into the 5th register(for example: if im holding a D4 it turn into a D5 or if I’m holding a E4 it turns into E5).My voice is light. My first question is why can I sing in the upper range but I can’t sing notes from F#4-C#5? my second question is am I a tenor? I can even sing C6 and the highest I’ve gone consistently is G6. It would mean a lot if you would give me feedback. Thank you for this video!

    • @timmoytsinclair395
      @timmoytsinclair395 4 роки тому +1

      Based on what you've described, you are definitely a light tenor with a falsetto extension (what voice teachers call countertenor). Your F3 to F4 is where your chest voice is comfortable, and F#4 to G4 is perhaps where your voice usually transitions into your falsetto. As a countertenor, you are going to feel most comfortable in your falsetto, and that is perhaps why your voice switches octaves when holding a note (either that or your overtones are very powerful). Below the C#5 is quite low for the falsetto which is probably why you're having some trouble with that area. What I would suggest is that you do some vocal exercises to extend your chest voice and some vocal exercises to lower your falsetto with equal volume, this will help to develop a strong mixed voice to improve chest participation in your high notes. I hope I have been helpful.

      I wouldn't even focus on your voice type so early on. An untrained voice means next to nothing. When I first started singing around 6 or 7 years ago, I could hit an e2 and I couldn't even hit a D4. I thought I was a bass. Years of training has made me realise that I'm a tenor, my tessitura has changed significantly and now I can sing a C5 and struggle to hit the lower notes that I used to be able to hit. A have a deep speaking voice but my singing voice sounds very high and thin.
      Just look at most rock singers, their voices are often gravely and deep, yet they can belt their asses off way into tenor registers, probably because they actually are tenors or can control their voices very well.
      Don't pigeonhole yourself too early. It takes years of training for your voice to truly blossom and mature.

    Nessun Dorma is not a high C, it is a high B. Pavarotti was a light lyric tenor. Just for some perspective, in opera terms, his voice was never known for its power and size. Pavarotti did not have a particularly big voice. In opera the voice type is determined by the size of the voice. Pavarotti sounded like a choirboy next to dramatic tenors such as Mario Del Monaco and Franco Corelli. Of it is interesting to think that Steve Perry and Pavarotti have similar voice types.

With a warmed up voice i can git A2 sometimes G#2 but If i would sing a note i prefer A2 lowest. But my voice breaks around G#4 so often. If i go higher okay it sound full voice but it sounds weak. Like Bb4, B4, C5. I don't sound like what i wanted. I am not sure if i am tenor or high baritone or something. For example mornings i can go as low as F2 sometimes E2 easily. Am I baritone or tenor. Is breaking around g#4 or a4 normal if I am tenor? I am 21 and singing for a year. I d like to hear your thoughts. Thanks

      Head voice is tricky, it's one of those things you need to get a good feeling of, you can either try and utilise a lighter coordination in your mix voice and carry that up, or try and stay connected as you go up, but thin out your tone, by possibly placing the sound more forward, or more in the head while maintaining a good connection. That works for me.

Manly, dark lows and a soaring, strong head voice that makes me swoooon. 😍 It helps that l can keep up with them. I can sing phrases down to A2.
    Some male voices are indeed Very High. I being low voiced can belt all of Bruno Mars' songs. His modal head voice goes up to around B5, just like me!

      Jeremiah Sheppard I don't see him struggling at all. Maybe you caught him singing on a bad day? His high range is pretty good to me. F4 is a common passagio for the Tenor voice. The Tenor voice among male voices is the equivalent of the Soprano for the females: a voice that is known to soar into their respective high, BRIGHT ranges. Mendez has noted comfort for going down to Bb2 in many of his songs. That is a little bit lower than the standard C3 chest voice tenors sing, but not by much. Even female Altos can do this, so it's nothing special. His voice is not that low compared to say Troye Sivan, who has a darker baritone quality down to F2, but just as boyish!

      Your voice is indeed very high. It could be you have a very under developed low range, or your voice is still developing or slow to develop. Give it some time.
      The highest vocal classification for the male voice is the natural counter tenor. For all intents and purposes, it is pretty much identical to the female Contralto voice. These two voices are quite rare. I am writing a book on the contralto voice by the way. Of course l will be writing about the very high male voices as well.
      I really have heard a number of high voiced males in my life. For example l heard a man with clear skin and not much facial hair whose singing voice is very Alto like, a music write up compared this singer to Adele! He's part of a music group and for the life of me, l can't remember his group or his name. ☹️
      So l will have to rely on singers of the past, not the contemporary ones in my book. Perhaps the lead singer from Journey is an altino. I noticed he can belt very high in their most famous song. Little Jimmy Scott is the quintessential counter Tenor, he's often described as a Contralto, he indeed sounds like a low voiced women, with an uncanny resemblance to the great Sarah Vaughan! That velvety, rich, chocolate tone is very common one among contraltos. I count myself lucky l have this quality in my voice and l can technically sing high Tenor, my chest voice goes up to G4. For full voiced singing with power and projection, around F5 is my max in pure high register.

This just goes to shows you how useless classification is in contemporary music, a well trained baritone with a very good mix can sometimes fool some people.
