I give my props to baritones. It's a hard life. And you usually have to sing the difficult/weird harmonies in the chorus.

Thank you! I do love being a baritone, but sometimes I just wish I was a tenor and could hit those money notes!

Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

I mean i'm so proud to be a baritone lol as pathetic as it is! I mean I love it because my range is really strong in the middle but if I need to I can sing really low or medium high so it's kind of nice! And it's fun in show choir too because we have 8 basses and if there's baritone notes 4 of us sing those! But it's hard lol

I love baritones. They're my favorite. mmmm. If I were male, I'd be a baritone.


-Was that a fart?
-My fault, I fear.

Represent!
I get the best of both worlds.......a bari-tenor you could call me I guess????

But still....baritone in choirs, etc.

Now if only I looked like I should be a baritone...that might help a little in shows.

I do have a little tenor envy sometimes, but I love being a baritone, especially when I get to sing really low--it makes me feel all manly re: GO BARITONES!!

I know a lot of girls who prefer the baritone sound!

Plus, we do have money notes! They are just lower. Plus, I think we sound more impressive singing some of the lower-tenor range because it's more difficult and powerful.

My range is two octaves from G - G. Not too bad just wish i could get higher. On some days i can go a note or two above a G but with great difficulty.

GO BARITONES!

We get a bad rep occasionally I feel. because with some snobs there's no in-between. High notes are only meant for sopranos and tenors who are OVERRATED and if you're a baritone who's stuck in the middle, like myself, everyone thinks every time you open your mouth to sing a high note, you're "pushing" it.

my range - Low E to high F (normally)
Low F to high G (REALLY good day)

of course, I'm more of an expressive rock/jazz/pop oriented singer, and I really don't have a classical/pure sounding voice.


I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

I have more of a traditional broadwday mixed kind of belt. I can sing soft and tender but can also bust out some money notes. Jazz is another style that I love to sing though as well!!

Yay Baritones! We RULE!


The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
