How many octaves is a good vocal range?
If you will allow me to make this reply here as I am a voice enthusiast, been in training for several years, a chorister and a multi-octavian. We need to first recognize that a healthy voice possesses a vocal range anywhere between an octave and a half, to two. That will be BEFORE vocal training. After, depending on whether it has been training for the classical repertoire, the voice is disciplined throughout its original range and is likely to display extensions at either end. This is why we come across opera singers with the 3-octave vocal range. Age, too, has everything to do with it. A young man is unlikely to have his upper register revealed until well into his late 20s, whilst a young lady will have a more stable range already there, ready to undergo training. The voice undergoes subtle changes every ten years, for both the trained and untrained voice. Deepening in quality. Physical changes and mental/emotional changes have a lot to do with things. For some, a voice once noted for the top notes will suffer because of declining health. Remember that singing is a very physical, and yet mental state. Unlike a musical instrument, the voice can NEVER maintain true quality throughout its life because very simply its life is made up of so many things which affect the singer. The voice is subject to our state of confidence, concentration, and the voice is a revealing state of our spiritual health. Simply put, the voice is an organic instrument vulnerable to all manner of external stimulii and stressors. I hope I have moved you away from just the number of notes that make up the human voice. No matter the number of octaves one has we need to be mindful of what we do with each note within our vocal compass. Expression, diction, projection, delivery all come into play for the performance. Finally, stay in good health!
Is E3 C6 (with a D6 to A6 whistle tone) a good vocal range for a female teenager?
An untrained full range of E3 to C6 is just fine. Supported range for someone trained, it’s very reasonable. (Whistle range is not counted as supported range.)E3 to C6 is 2 octaves, four notes, and a semitone. The quality of that range is what matters. If your lower notes are too much fry and not supported, and your upper notes are too airy and not supported, your useful range is less than your full range of notes you can hit in some fashion.As you age, you may find yourself hitting higher or lower notes, as even females don’t fully mature vocally in the teenage years.The range you have will let you comfortably sing a lot of pop music done by sopranos; some songs by mezzo-soprano range you may have trouble with the lower notes, depending on how solid your E3 is, i.e. you can fry the lower ones but it’s not good to sing things out of your range too often.I wouldn’t whistle (meaning sing in a whistle register, not literally just whistle) too much unless you’ve had training, airiness isn’t good for your voice.
Is B2-A6 a good vocal range?
Are you working with a MUSIC teacher, or are you working with a VOICE teacher, because there is a difference. There are some people who aren't really qualified to teach voice even if they have a musical background, or even if they happen to sing themselves quite well. Besides "discovering new notes"--what else have you been learning? As far of vocal range---what is considered "good" are the notes you actually can use to SING SONGS. How do you actually sound in the more extreme ends of your range? There aren't any songs that actually would have A6 written into it (that would be the A above the soprano "high C"). The lower notes--again, if they sound good when you sing them, would be more useful for a singer to have--especially a male singer as these would be in a typical range in music for most male singers. Some contraltos may also be able to sing a B2 or lower (there are a few women who are actually female tenors). Any discussion, any questions about your singing and your voice should be directed toward the teacher who is training you to sing. If that person cannot explain anything, or teach you anything other than how to "discover new notes" then you probably need to find a better vocal instructor. Again, it would be great if you had a huge range that you could actually use--it would definitely broaden your selection of songs you could sing. However, if you can't even sing "Happy Birthday" on key, then just having a "great range' is pretty useless.
My vocal range is C2 - E6. What female voice part am I?
C2 is very low, and is the first formal tone of the bass vocal range. It's incredible for you to be able to hit a tone that deep, cleanly. I'm a man with a rather low voice and the furthest down I can get is around G2, I can do it clean, but it strains my vocal chords, so I obviously don't do it. For the upper part, E6, is a tad high as well, highest note of the soprano.If you can sing all notes clean, I would go with the range that suis your voice the best. Check if you are comfortable with the range, any strain or pain is unwanted. Try and record your tones and give it a listen, what sounds the best? You will most deffinetely not want to box yourself, if you have such an incredible voice, use it. But if you want to know which voice you have, do what I just told you. Good day. :)
I’m a female with a vocal range of A2 to A6. What is my voice type?
Voice type can mean “what standard voice parts can I sing” or could mean “what standard solo voice category best fits my voice.” For the first question (standard voice parts), your range would in theory let you sing baritone, tenor, alto/contralto, mezzo, and soprano parts. But even to sing in a choir or ensemble, tone quality and ease matter - yes, maybe you have an A6, but perhaps everything above F5 is harsh and difficult for you. Or perhaps everything below A3 is breathy and barely audible. So, this is not enough information to make even a guess about your solo voice type.
