Free · bass to soprano
Your voice type, read off the notes you held — not the ones you grazed.
Bass, baritone, tenor, contralto, mezzo, soprano — with a named identity beside the label and the singers whose recorded range overlaps yours. Two notes, about forty seconds, and no argument about a squeak.

Range alone does not settle a voice type
Ask which voice type you are in any singing forum and the first honest answer is that your span is not the deciding evidence. Where your voice sits comfortably for a whole song, where it changes gear, and what it sounds like all count for more than how low you can grunt.
So the result gives you the label a choir director would use, and puts the comfortable band next to it — because the comfortable band is the part they will actually ask about. Two notes cannot settle your voice type on their own, and this one does not pretend otherwise.
The eight identities
Matched on the notes you held, not the notes you grazed. Each is a plain name for a band of the keyboard; the classical labels sit alongside them on the result.
Deep Anchor D2–E4
The floor of the room. You hold the low notes other people can only mime.
Warm Baritone G2–G4
The most common voice in any karaoke bar, and the one songs are written for.
Easy Tenor B2–A4
Comfortable up where most choruses live. You rarely have to transpose anything.
Rooftop Tenor C3–C5
Built for the last chorus. The notes that make a room turn around.
Smoky Alto F3–E5
Low, warm and unhurried. Ballads owe you money.
Bright Alto G3–G5
Right in the sweet spot of the pop charts, with room above when you want it.
Skyline Soprano C4–C6
You live above the staff. Most karaoke keys are too low for you, not too high.
Quiet Storm D3–G5
Small, close and precise rather than loud. Microphone technique is your instrument.
How the test works
Press once, allow the microphone once, sing your lowest comfortable note and hold it until the ring closes at two seconds. Then your highest. Anything shorter than two seconds, or wider than a quarter tone of drift, is discarded and named, so a lucky spike never turns you into a soprano.
Questions people actually ask
Am I a tenor or a baritone?
Usually the answer is decided by where you are comfortable for four minutes, not by your lowest note. A baritone and a tenor often share the same span; the tenor sits happily around A4 while the baritone is working hard by F4. The result shows you both numbers — your full range and your held, comfortable band — which is the pair a choir director wants.
What is my voice type?
Sing two notes and the result names it: bass, baritone, tenor, countertenor, contralto, mezzo-soprano or soprano, with a plain-language identity beside it and the hedge that range alone never settles the question. It takes about forty seconds and there is no account.
Are vocal ranges real?
The measurement is real: the lowest and highest notes you can hold are a fact about your voice today, and two tests a week apart will agree within a semitone or two if you warm up the same way. The categories are the softer part — they are conventions from choral and operatic practice, useful for handing you a part, not a fixed property you were born with.
Are vocal ranges genetic?
Partly. The length and thickness of your vocal folds are yours by birth and they set roughly where your voice sits. Where the edges land is training: most people gain two to four semitones at the top in a year of honest practice, and lose them again when they stop.
Does testosterone affect vocal range?
Yes — testosterone thickens and lengthens the vocal folds, which lowers the voice, and on HRT the change usually runs over six to twenty-four months. The top of the range tends to go before the bottom arrives, so the total span can narrow for a while and then widen again. Retesting every month or two makes that visible instead of alarming.
Can my voice type change?
The label can, yes. Puberty, hormones, age, illness and training all move the comfortable band, and singers get reclassified all the time. That is an argument for retesting rather than for tattooing the result on anything.
