Understanding Vocal Range
What is Vocal Range?
Your vocal range is the span between the lowest and highest notes you can comfortably sing. It's measured in octaves, where one octave represents a doubling of frequency (12 semitones). In classical music, this is also called "tessitura."
Voice Type Classification
Voice types group singers with similar ranges and vocal characteristics. While originally developed for classical music, these classifications help understand vocal capabilities and choose appropriate repertoire.
