Vocal Range Test
Sing your lowest and highest notes. See them on a piano, next to the usual range of each voice type.
Two notes, about a minute
Hum a few easy notes to warm up, then press start. You’ll need your microphone.
Find a quiet spot. Nothing is recorded, and your voice never leaves your device.
How to find your vocal range
- Warm up for a minute. Hum or sing a few easy notes first.
- Find your lowest note. Start on a comfortable note and go lower, a little at a time, holding each note for a second. When going lower starts to strain, press “That’s my lowest note”.
- Find your highest note. Do the same going up. Falsetto counts. Don’t force it.
- Read your result. You see your lowest and highest notes on a piano, next to the usual range of each voice type.
Your voice changes a little from day to day, so test on a few different days and go by the result you get most often.
What your result means
It shows the lowest and highest notes you held steadily in this test. Falsetto counts, so your top may be above your everyday singing voice, and not every note in between will feel easy.
It doesn’t tell you your voice type. That depends on more than range: where your voice sounds best, where it feels easiest, and where it changes from your low voice to your high voice. A singing teacher can hear those things. A range test can’t.
Choosing songs? Go by the notes you can sing comfortably again and again, not the edges you reached once.
Vocal range chart
These are the ranges usually given for the six main voice types. Many voices go further, and sources differ by a note or two at each end.
| Voice type | Usual range |
|---|---|
| Soprano | C4 to C6 |
| Mezzo-soprano | A3 to A5 |
| Alto | F3 to F5 |
| Tenor | C3 to C5 |
| Baritone | A2 to A4 |
| Bass | E2 to E4 |
How to read the notes. The letter is the note and the number is the octave. C4 is middle C, near the middle of a piano. Each octave starts again at C, so B3 sits just below C4.
Questions
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Yes, it’s free. No account, no sign-up, and you can test as often as you like.
Is my voice recorded or uploaded?
No. The test listens through your microphone inside your browser. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent anywhere.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Phone microphones pick up very low notes less well, though. If you have a deep voice and the test misses your lowest note, try a computer or a headset microphone.
Why didn’t it catch my lowest note?
A note counts once you hold it steady for about half a second. Very breathy, gravelly or growled sounds often have no steady pitch, so the test may miss them. Go down slowly and hold the last clear note.
Does falsetto count?
Yes, any note you hold steadily counts. If you want your range without falsetto, don’t switch into it on the way up, or redo just your highest note.
What voice type am I?
This test can’t tell you. It shows your range next to the usual range of each voice type, which is one clue. Where your voice sounds best and feels easiest matters as much, and a singing teacher can help you hear that.
Is my vocal range good?
There’s no good or bad range. Singing the notes you have comfortably and in tune matters more than how many there are. To check how in tune you are, try the pitch detector.
Can I increase my vocal range?
Often a little, with regular, gentle practice such as humming and sliding your voice from low to high. Stop if it hurts or your voice goes hoarse. Your result also moves from day to day, so compare several tests, not two.
What should I do after the test?
Pick songs that sit comfortably inside your range. Then check how in tune you sing them with the pitch detector.
