Vocal Range Finder - Sing Your Note Range with Mic Pitch Detection

Vocal range classifications

The standard vocal range categories from lowest to highest are: Bass, Baritone, Tenor (male); Contralto / Alto, Mezzo-soprano, Soprano (female). Most people have a comfortable singing range of about two octaves.

Tips for accurate measurement

• Sing in a quiet room to minimise background noise interference.
• Hold each note steady for at least one second before capturing.
• Warm up your voice before measuring your high range.

Note frequency reference

Tessitura vs. range

A singer’s range is the full span of notes they can produce, including the extremes. Tessitura is the narrower range where a voice sits comfortably for sustained singing without strain. Most professional voice training focuses on expanding tessitura, not just the absolute extremes of range, because it is the comfortable middle that determines the voice type classification and suitability for specific repertoire.

Training and progress tracking

Vocal range typically expands with consistent training. A new singer may span 1–1.5 octaves comfortably; trained singers commonly achieve 2–2.5 octaves or more. Measuring and recording your range periodically provides objective evidence of progress - particularly useful for students tracking development over months of lessons.
