What this list is
The catalogue holds 430 songs with a sourced lowest and highest note, which is not every song ever recorded. Nothing on this page has been moved to another key.
A voice type is a convention for classifying a trained voice by timbre and where it sits, not a test result on its own.
No song here is marked safe or risky. Those labels are read off notes held for two seconds, and this page has not heard you sing.
