1. What is Vocal Range?

Vocal range refers to the span from the lowest to the highest note a person can sing comfortably. It's typically measured in Hertz (Hz) or in musical notes (e.g., C3 to C5).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Highest Note — The highest frequency (in Hz) you can sing
• Lowest Note — The lowest frequency (in Hz) you can sing

Explanation: The difference between your highest and lowest singable frequencies determines your vocal range in Hertz.

3. Importance of Vocal Range

Details: Knowing your vocal range helps singers choose appropriate songs, understand their voice type (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), and work on expanding their range safely.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your highest and lowest singable notes in Hertz (Hz). For best results, measure these values with a tuner or pitch detection software.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I measure my highest/lowest notes?
A: Use a digital tuner or pitch detection app while singing scales to identify your comfortable range limits.

Q2: What's the average vocal range?
A: Most untrained singers have about 1.5-2 octaves, while trained singers often have 2-3 octaves or more.

Q3: Can I increase my vocal range?
A: Yes, with proper vocal training and exercises, most people can expand their range over time.

Q4: Should I include falsetto/whistle notes?
A: Typically, only include your full-voice range, but you might note extended techniques separately.

Q5: How does this relate to voice types?
A: While range is a factor, voice classification also considers tessitura (comfortable singing range) and timbre.
