Amy Winehouse and the alto range
The typical alto range is F3 to F5, so the documented notes reach 5 semitones below and 10 semitones above it. A wide documented range does not change a singer's voice type: the type describes where the voice is most comfortable, and the extremes are often reached only once or twice, in a studio or on a good night.
Where these notes come from
The notes on this page are taken from The Range Planet, a community forum that documents singers' notes song by song (archived copy). We did not measure them ourselves. The highest note marked as full voice is F♯5.
Published ranges count every note a singer has been recorded producing, including falsetto, whistle notes and very low spoken or growled notes where the source includes them. The range a singer uses comfortably in most songs is narrower.
