The test listens through your microphone while you sing your lowest note and then your highest. It detects the pitch of each, shows your range as two notes (for example A2 to F4), and tells you which voice type that range fits. It is free, it takes about 2 minutes, and nothing is uploaded: the audio is analysed in your browser.
Your vocal range is every note you can sing, from the lowest to the highest. Most untrained adults have between one and a half and two octaves. Notes are written with a letter and a number: C4 is middle C, and each higher number is one octave up.
| Voice type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Soprano | C4 to C6 |
| Mezzo-soprano | A3 to A5 |
| Alto | F3 to F5 |
| Tenor | C3 to C5 |
| Baritone | A2 to A4 |
| Bass | E2 to E4 |
The ranges overlap, so a range alone does not always settle your type. Where your voice is comfortable matters too. The voice type test asks a few more questions and builds a practice plan from the result, and the voice type guide describes each one.
It measures the pitch you actually sing, to the nearest note. The result depends on you: a cold voice or a noisy room gives a smaller range than you really have, so warm up first and try twice.
Two octaves is plenty for almost any song. Singing well depends far more on hitting the notes in tune than on how many notes you have.
Yes. Regular, gentle practice adds notes at both ends over weeks and months. See 5 tips to improve your vocal range.
