A Contralto (the lowest of the female singing voice types) and Soprano (the highest of the female singing voice types) could hit the same note but those notes would sound totally different in their depth and weight.
Until you explained the percensttage of voice types, I had assumed the opposite. And I understand better how the exercises work to get me to my true voice range by reading some of your other articles. Thanks!
Singing with a new voice
Hey! Is there any possibility to a girl to be a tenor? I was Classified as contralto but my tessitura mAde me sing with the tenors and it feels much betTer. I can reach preety low notes (my lowest note is A1) and it is Completely impossible for me to sing anYthing hIgher than G4

But he was actually naturally a baritone Rather than tenor. And he knew That As well. He didnt Sing many famous songs untill the album with monserAt becauSe he was afraid pEople woUldnt RECOGNISE His voice.
Im a 14 year old girl who auditions many times a week and am often asked to put my voice part on my resume, but since my vocal range is so large, i am not really sure. i am huge musical theatre belter ranging from d3-c7, can you help me?
Also listen to your vocal tone. Does your voice sound heavy, light, brazzy, whispery? These can also be clues to your voice type.Generally the heavier and thick the voice, the lower the voice type (Lady Gaga is a Mezzo whereas Ariana Grande is a Soprano).
However, I would say that the most important thing for you right now is developing your mixed voice so you have a smooth transition at that D4 up to the B5. It should sound like one single voice all the way through. Rather than stopping around a D4 and having to push or strain up to the B5.
Hello,I am not a professional singer but i enjoy singing. I think I am an alto as I can sing from an e2 to a g5 and my first bridge is around a4. my question is: I have no sound at all above a5, just a very light sound ( impossible to use for singing) in my B5 flat. Is it this the confirmation that I am an alto? or is it some kind of fault in my voice? in addition to that i cannot pull my chest voice upper than a b4 flat. thanks in advance.
Thank you so much for helping me outNow I can be proud of my voice and prove to my friends who are saying I am a woman in musicMy vocal range is C2 to F6Thank you very much for helping

Hey, i need a bit of a help, im a male, 16 years old, I can sing comfortably with my falsetto from d3-a5 (sometimes i can hit a c6) but my chest voice lies on b2-e4 (i sometimes can hit a F4-G4) does falsetto count with the vocal range or not? and what would be my range??
So I always thought i was a bass with a really extended range my (audible) chest range is e2-F#4 ish then mixed voice goes to about a4. but my head voice/falsetto goes all the way to a5. what vocal type would I be? my tessitura sits around g2-d4

NATS offers a variety of lifelong learning experiences to its members, with workshops, Intern Programs, master classes and conferences, all beginning at the chapter level and progressing to national events. Our mission is to advance excellence in singing through teaching, performance, scholarship, and research.
The sound of your voice is produced by vibration of the vocal folds, which are two bands of smooth muscle tissue that are positioned opposite each other in the larynx. The larynx is located between the base of the tongue and the top of the trachea, which is the passageway to the lungs (see figure).
Many people use their voices for their work. Singers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, nurses, sales people, and public speakers are among those who make great demands on their voices. This puts them at risk for developing voice problems. An estimated 17.9 million adults in the U.S. report problems with their voice. Some of these disorders can be avoided by taking care of your voice.
If you think you have a voice problem, consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause. A doctor who specializes in diseases or disorders of the ears, nose, and throat, and who can best diagnose a voice disorder, is an otolaryngologist (oh-toe-lar-in-GAH-luh-jist), sometimes called an ENT. Your otolaryngologist may refer you to a speech-language pathologist. A speech-language pathologist can help you improve the way you use your voice.
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) supports research that includes laboratory studies to understand diseases and stresses that can harm the voice, and clinical research to test new ways to diagnose, treat, or cure voice disorders.
Researchers are exploring how the brain controls the muscles and nerves of the larynx and tongue, and how these structures move to produce speech. This information may help other scientists design better treatments for conditions such as vocal fold paralysis and spasmodic dysphonia, which can damage the voice. It may also help researchers design new rehabilitation strategies to improve the quality of life for people challenged by severe voice disorders.
Researchers are also looking at new ways to assess vocal disorders and testing new methods of voice therapy for people with growths on the vocal folds. Research continues to explore ways to prevent scarring of the vocal fold after injury and to treat vocal scarring when it occurs. Additional ongoing research studies aim to understand the mechanisms of laryngeal papillomatosis caused by HPV (human papillomavirus), and to develop new drug treatments for the disorder.
New techniques to combat age-related weakness in the laryngeal muscles have the potential to prevent voice disorders in the aging population. Recent results from NIDCD-funded researchers showed that, in an animal model of the aging voice, vocal training exercises helped the muscles of the larynx stay strong.
Because teachers have a high incidence of vocal disorders, the NIDCD is supporting the development of an educational website for teachers to support healthy behaviors and protection of their voices. The NIDCD is also supporting research into the effectiveness of voice hygiene education and voice production training for teachers.

The biggest breakthroughs in my teaching and singing came when I understood WHY my voice was behaving (or misbehaving), which gave me the answers to fix singing imbalances and to create more vocal power with less effort.
Vocal exercises are not enough because you need to know the RIGHT exercises for your voice. In order to find those exercises you need to know WHY these issues are happening - you need to get to the root causes.
Cracking on a note can have different root causes from one singer to another, therefore using the same exercises or fixes on these singers will not yield the same results - in fact the wrong "fix" can make the voice worse.
These lessons have been distilled from years of masterclasses, presented to teachers and singers all over the world. These lessons have been utilized by hundreds of singers and teachers to help improve their own understanding and control of the singing voice.

Singing is the act of creating musical sounds with the voice.[1][2][3] A person who sings is called a singer, artist or vocalist (in jazz and/or popular music).[4][5] Singers perform music (arias, recitatives, songs, etc.) that can be sung with or without accompaniment by musical instruments. Singing is often done in an ensemble of musicians, such as a choir. Singers may perform as soloists or accompanied by anything from a single instrument (as in art song or some jazz styles) up to a symphony orchestra or big band. Different singing styles include art music such as opera and Chinese opera, Indian music, Japanese music, and religious music styles such as gospel, traditional music styles, world music, jazz, blues, ghazal, and popular music styles such as pop, rock, and electronic dance music. 2ff7e9595c
