I can go from Death Growls to a more...clean style of singing. Of course, how good it sounds is very debateable.

A4 to B2, last I checked. I was the main alto in choir, but my sister said I'm actually an extremely dramatic mezzo.

In pop-music terms: I can sing Dashboard Confessional songs and other tenor-range songs after warming up, I'm most comfortable singing Matchbox Twenty and Rachael Yamagata, and I can't sing most female songs unless I scale them down an octave.

If I was an opera singer, I would be cross-dressing so much.

OK, I've found a better comparison for my vocal range: Jack White. Basically, I just about have his exact range. I even sound a little like him. :3

Hmm I I seem not to be the only Baritone aspiring to be a rock singer here. I havent developed my vocal range very much and my lower range not at all. But D2 to F5(falsetto) would be a qualified guess. I havent got the whole mix voice/head voice thing down. So my high notes arent that good or powerful.

O.K., apparently I can reliably hit the high notes in The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Unsure if real name), and Take On Me.

But only when I'm not thinking about it.

I am inordinately proud of this.

I can go from a D2 to an E4. Bass-Baritone.

G2 to C5. Apparently, I'm a tenor with an extended lower range.

Upper range tenor to mid range baritone, although raspy and gravelly at the moment thanks to a splendid little bout of the flu.

Leftists are pretty sinister, really.

I am a horrible singer but my natural singing voice is baritone range. Using head voice (NOT falsetto, if it's shrieky it's not falsetto!) I can reach a very shaky D5 but it sounds horrible, like Eric Adams with a chest infection.

I am a high baritone. G#2 to G4 (with Falsetto I can get to E5) Anything below C3 I can't really sing, I just sound like I'm talking. Sucks being high baritone, I can only sing low tenor and high baritone parts and most stuff is tenor in rock and baritone in blues

The E below middle C to about the C or D an octave above middle C.

Um, I can't quite remember. If I recall, my range is about the G or so below middle C (although that's uncomfortable) to...maybe two D's, possibly E's above middle C. It's been a long time. All I know is that it's a really limited range.

And if I claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that I don't know.

Low Baritone to high Bass I think, despite the fact that I look like a tenor.

I'm a baritone-almost-tenor too. I think the lowest I can hit anymore is A2, but if I'm congested enough my voice drops by about a third.

I can hit some high notes, but I can't sustain ANY note for very long at all — I tend to drift if I have to hold for more than a measure.

Low bass, but can also falsetto like a MFer.

I'm trained in death metal vocals and I think my range is somewhere around B2-F6. What can I say, we Toorus are born with wide vox ranges.

Being someone who spent most of their academic career in one choir or another, I can tell you this: After a while, you can see tenors. It's ridiculous.

Since last posting here I've managed to extend my vocal range to over 2 octaves, which means on a good day I can do A2 to B-flat4. So that's basically going from choral tenor to solo tenor. Hooray!
