I dunno. Umm... Low E to High Soprano's G :)
So...Mezzo-Soprano/Soprano, I guess. But I'm not quite in the stratosphere.
This is my signature.

Posted: 6/22/05 at 3:49pmI'm not actually on Broadway (yet). But if we're just talking showtunes in general, soprano/mezzo legit (two E's above treble C) and belt.

Rath, clear me up on the octaves. Is the E that you're talking about Christine's high E? Or an octave above?
Is treble C the first ledger off the staff?

Posted: 6/22/05 at 3:52pmTreble C is the one about middle C. I sing the E above the first C off the staff.

I'm a tenor, and until recently thought I was a Tenor 1. I hit high C's for auditions when they ask me.
My new voice teacher is an MD/Voice Specialist, and he did a medical assesment of my voice. He told me I was a Lyric Tenor, but a low one. Then he said that this has nothing to do with how high I'll be able to go, or how low. That's just biologically what DNA I was given.
Interesting stuff.

High C's for a guy?? Ahh, isn't that painful?

Man. I am sooooooo lost. 
I learned that the first C above middle C is known as "High" C.
Then I learned the one that was two octaves above middle C was "High" C....and now you're telling me there's a treble C?
Gawrsh.

Posted: 6/22/05 at 4:57pmThe first C above middle C is Treble C. The octave above that is High C.

Posted: 6/22/05 at 4:59pmNo the High C isn't painful. It's a part of my range. Granted, I have to be well-aligned and breathing way down deep to prevent strain.

Soprano here, high C. I don't really know how low I can go, but I'm thinking not that low...

#14re: What Vocal Range You Sing On Broadway?
Posted: 6/22/05 at 6:34pmI'm not sure what note range I have, but I'm inbetween baritone and tenor, mostly tenor...a low tenor! Haha! I can sing two octaves in regular singing and if falsetto counts, then four octaves!

Posted: 6/22/05 at 6:52pmim a mezzo- a belter. but ive been known to screech a high A and when my voice is really clear i can do a pretty good tenor.
you may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have
#16re: What Vocal Range You Sing On Broadway?
Posted: 6/22/05 at 7:39pmAlto to 2nd soprano. I don't particularly like singing alto parts, but I can and will if assigned to. But I basically stay within the mezzo-to-second soprano area.

Posted: 6/22/05 at 7:43pmI'm a bass/baritone. You tenors are all bastards.

haha, this is such a funny question for me to answer, in paticualr because I'm one of those people that does a number of diffrent things so it's very hard to catgorize me.
(I'm not good with musical notes)
I can sing Tenor to first soprano...I think I go to the High F or G *above high C* ( or higer, I think I go even higer than that) to some where low low low F or G, below Treble C or something like that all I know is that I span alot of octaves.
I 'm a belter and ligit mezzo as well as an Operatic (lyric Soprano) singer. So I do those things both. But when Asked I say Mezzo belter/First Soprano

I am a tenor, but I have a very convincing falsetto. I was acctually cast as Mary Sunshine in our schools producton of Chicago. My dad wasn't to happy, but he got over it once he realized it was just a show.

Posted: 6/22/05 at 9:32pmI know i can hit a High B, i'm a tenor/baritone. Everyone calls me a baritone but I have tenor notes. I guess its cause I can go pretty low as well. I wish I had that C, maybe with some more work. I use to think a high G was high for a guy, but not anymore. What would you say is a good range to be a leading Broadway man? Like Hunter Foster or Patrick Wilson or people like that. (those are just my favs)

Actually, a lot of voice determination is based on the quality of the sound, the timbre, rather than the notes you can sing. I mean, I can sing lower pitches, but they still have soprano quality to them, where as a true alto has a much richer quality to those notes.
That said, I am a true soprano, who doesn't find much that's comfortable to sing in much of the newer musicals...lol
