Vocal Range Test

Sing your lowest clear note, then your highest, and get your range and closest classical voice type - bass to soprano. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing is recorded or uploaded.

Find a quiet spot and warm up with a few sirens (a gentle "woo" sliding low to high). Sing a clear, steady "ah" - not a whisper, not a creak. The test needs microphone access; audio is analyzed locally and never leaves your device.

The six voice types

Bass E2–E4

E2-E4 - the foundation. Rich low end most singers cannot reach.

Baritone A2–A4

A2-A4 - the most common male voice type, warm and versatile.

Tenor C3–C5

C3-C5 - bright upper male range; the rock and opera hero register.

Alto / Contralto F3–F5

F3-F5 - the deepest common female voice type, dark and full.

Mezzo-Soprano A3–A5

A3-A5 - the most common female voice type, balanced across registers.

Soprano C4–C6

C4-C6 - the highest common voice type, agile and brilliant on top.

Grow the range you have: pitch control practice with the pitch pipe and interval trainer does more for singing than chasing extra semitones at the extremes.

Vocal Range Test FAQ

How do I find my vocal range?

Warm up briefly, then slide down to the lowest note you can sing clearly (not creak or whisper) and hold it; then slide up to the highest note you can sustain - falsetto/head voice counts, noted separately in classical convention. Your range is the span between them, written like G2-E4. This test detects both pitches with your microphone and matches the span against the six classical voice types.

What are the six voice types?

From lowest to highest: bass (E2-E4), baritone (A2-A4), tenor (C3-C5) for typically male voices; contralto/alto (F3-F5), mezzo-soprano (A3-A5), soprano (C4-C6) for typically female voices. Real classification also weighs timbre and where your voice is strongest (tessitura), not just endpoints - most people are baritones and mezzos.

Is a two-octave range good?

Yes - about two octaves is the standard comfortable range for trained singers, and plenty for almost all repertoire. Untrained voices commonly span 1.5 octaves and expand with technique. Famous four-octave voices are outliers; range also matters less than control within it.

Should I count falsetto in my range?

Depends what the number is for. Practical/pop convention counts every pitch you can produce musically, falsetto included. Classical voice classification uses your full (modal) voice only. Test both ways - the gap between your modal ceiling and falsetto ceiling is itself useful information for training.

Why does the test not detect my note?

Common causes: singing too quietly (the detector needs a clear, steady tone), background noise, browser mic permissions, or a very breathy tone. Sing a solid "ah" at conversational volume close to the mic. Very low bass notes on laptop mics can also read an octave high - if a note looks wrong by exactly an octave, trust your ear.
