What's your range?

B1 to about A4, depending on how warmed up I am or how long I've been singing. I tend to lose range after about 45 minutes of nonstop singing.
Falsetto goes up to D#5 (the highest note on Livin' on a Prayer).

So with falsetto and chest voice, I have an almost 5 octave range. Not bad. The bad part is that a lot of songs are just out of my range in the A4 to C5 range, like a lot of the Who's stuff. I wish my range was a little bit higher, since basically no one goes below C2 in rock songs. Also, it sounds awful to sing Baba O'Riley in falsetto.

Edit: I'm pretty sure I am a basso profondo. Could be wrong though. Either way it's not great if you want to sing rock songs. The strangest part is that my speaking voice isn't all that low, it's about average.

I have no idea what it means, but my range is E2 - E5. If someone wants to explain it, they would be my hero.

It appears my normal range is C2 to C4, and my falsetto only goes from C4 to C5. C4 really feels like a "transition note" for me, meaning it is very shaky and I can sing it in falsetto or in my normal voice. It seems very wierd that my range lands exactly on C notes, but anything lower or higher, respectively, than the notes I listed doesn't make a legitimate note. I don't know what any of this means, so a vocal horoscope from Icemage would be appreciated!

Your normal range is very similar to mine, except I can only go down to around E2 well enough for it to register on RB. After looking through Wikipedia some, it appears that I'm more of a bass than a baritone, as although I can produce a D4 and E4 without falsetto it is strenuous. So you're definitely a bass.

Out of curiosity, is it normal to have a slight altercation in your range from the time you wake up to a few hours later? My voice seems to go a bit deeper in the morning than at night, but I can't strain them enough for certain high notes.

Also, is there anything you should or shouldn't do to get an accurate reading? Such as drinking water/soda, eating, etc.?

I just can't do it right now because everyone's sleeping, so I thought I'd ask a lot of questions.

C3 to A5, and I really had to strain for that low note. I was a soprano while I was still in choir.

Is it just coincidence that my normal range starts and ends on a C note, and my falsetto starts and ends on a C note? Or is it something strange? I just found it odd because a lot of the posts in this thread have ranges that aren't exactly set between two notes, and I'm feeling left out!

^ Mine does the same thing. Range is two octaves + one note (C).
