What's your voice part?- Page 2

I think some of are forgetting that middle C is actually 1 line below the treble clef and 1 line above the bass clef. It's not on the third space on the treble clef, which from reading some your post, I think your assuming that it is.

From what I know, middle C is the first ledger below the treble clef. High C is the first ledger above the treble clef. Top C? Is an octave above that.


I'm still amazed my voice has that capacity...

well, apparently I SUCK. haha. i guess i'm a bass/baritone.

E below bass clef to about a middle F on a relatively good day, G on a really good day, and can belt out my A on some days..

A "High C" is considered the C that is 2 ledger lines above the 5th line. So, it's the E-G-B-D-F- (the lines) then 2 ledger lines is a high C..... I'm a lyric soprano with coloratura notes. I can sing a G above high C, but I'm not sure what my lowest note is. I always sing Sop 1 in choirs but I always love how challenging the Sop 2 part is.

My range is D above low C to the C two octaves above middle C.
I'm a whole-step away from having a 3 octave vocal range. Blah.

I've sung everything from Tenor I to Soprano I. I'd like to say that I'm a soprano, but I prefer to sing mezzo/belt material.

First soprano. I can never remember my range, but I have about 3.5 octaves. Something like Eb2 to... something? eegh.

I'm an alto/mezzo soprano, but I've never really had any private training. But one of my group instructors said I have a really great potential upper range and might even be a soprano.

I sing high soprano (soprano I) in madrigals, but solo, i'm a lyric soprano with a coloratura range. I can go up to a G above high C (the one 2 octaves above middle C), and my passagio is around G sharp above C. (An octave lower than my highest note).
I have a pretty good lower register though, so now and then, I enjoy the dramatic soprano stuff, and I used to think I had a mezzo base, but now I think it's more of a spinto quality.

I'm a baritone! But I can also sing low bass and tenor 2 if I really choose too lol. My range is an F2-G4 but my lowest note is probably an E and my highest is probably a B flat!

I'm a bass-baritone. My lowest note is an E below the bass clef, and my highest note is an F-sharp above middle C (E2-F#4).

alto/mezzo. One of these days I'll figure out my range.

in chorus, we call me a stalto...freshman yaer I was an alto 1, sophomore year a bunch of boys dropped out so I was a tenor, but alto for a few songs, junior year alto 2, senior year, soprano 2. I'm actually a mezzo, but my friends love to make fun of me.

I'm a baritone, My comforable range is about two ocatves. The A Below Treble Clef and the A Two octaves above it.

Soprano 1 or lyric soprano. Whatever you want to call me. I wish I was a coluratura.

[hannahshule]

Posted: 10/8/06 at 8:10pm

coloratura isn't exclusive to that tip-top register. Una Voce Poce Fa for example is a coloratura aria for more of a mezzo voice. Also, lyric/dramatic/spinto/coloratura/mezzo, etc all these voice types I believe have much more to do with the certain QUALITY and texture of the voice rather than the range.

[bwaylvsong]

All coloratura means is the ability to sing a rapid succession of notes with agility, precision, and accuracy. Even a bass can be a coloraturo.

I feel stupid now

Well, pretty much, I wish I had those super-high notes. But my highest note is about a high C on a good day.

[hannahshule]

^^^exactly. But I'm asuming MY Fair Lady wishes she had a higher range, in which case, well, I don't know your voice, but with training, your range should increase.

I'm most definitely one of those lyric soprano ladies...

One more lyric soprano!

Frankly, we don't know yet. I spent most of last year labeled a mezzo, but my voice has gone through a big change over the summer. I've always had a richer sound to my voice, so that was why we had decided I was a mezzo, plus the fact that my passagio lies right where a mezzo's would (around B C on the staff) But right now, listening to my voice I sound like a richer lyric soprano (maybe a spinto?), and my range is consistant with that fach. And my voice teacher gave me my first real aria and it's a lyric soprano aria. I'll never be a coloratura, though. Give me long legato lines over staccato runs anyday.

I sing second soprano in choir, which kind of sucks since it lies mostly in my passagio, but I have an irrational fear of hitting high notes in a group setting. I can do them all I want in my solo stuff, but as soon as I'm in choir, they go away.

I can range from High Baritone to 1st Soprano.
