My current range is around E2 - B3 on an average day. I can reach around G5/G♯5 in falsetto on any given day, though with considerable discomfort. On a good day, my range is around D2 - E♭4 - A5/B♭5. Most falsetto above B4 is uncomfortable for me, and anything above D5 can be downright painful if I do it too much. The most extreme notes I've ever hit with any semblance of quality are A1 - E4 - B5, though I can't reach close to these extremities on 99% of days.

Strange. Falsetto works well up to F5 on any given day for me, but Bb5 is my max. Maybe you're over into fluting mode when you go that high. That's still falsetto and not whistle notes, I suppose it allows one to thin out one's falsetto and thereby reach higher.

It hurts to try to hit anything above E5 or F5. My voice has also developed a very noticable rasp over the past year or so, but it's been getting a lot worse recently. Maybe that has something to do with my vocal difficulties. In chest voice, I'm really only comfortable up to around G♯3 or A3 and down to around F♯2 or F2 on an average day. Perhaps I'm just using bad techniques. I have no vocal training of any kind, so I don't know what vocal techniques are healthy and which ones aren't.

That sounds like you need a vocal coach, one who can stand next to you and listen to you sing.

[123]

Complete Range: C2 - Bb4 - A5
Comfortable Range: D2 - F4 - E5
I can do a vocal slide up to C5 in chest but it
A.kinda sucks
B. Isn't very comfortable

I'm a baritone... probably.

Update or something idk: I didn't really count all my registers properly... anyways I can do a whistle up to like an Eb6 and chest fry is like a G#1/G1 or something... I'd say F#4s are getting easier for me to sing... my voice like instantaneously breaks after G4 if I don't put more effort in to what I'm singing. I did accidentally a pretty good sounding B4 so maybe that's a plus or something (?!)


Anyways I guess I'll update it here or something 
G1 - C2 - B4 - C5?? - F#5 - Eb6 (whistle note if anyone cares)

[Steingrim]

Up to G5 in head voice, with vibrato. Probably the limit of my useful head voice range, without trying to go over into fluting mode. You can hear the break point between C and B on the way down, the point where the voice goes through an acoustic shift.

[SubjectAlpha]

This thread was a terrible, cringe-inducing idea back on TRP2, and on TRP3 and it shall continue to be such forever until the end of time. Could we perhaps just close this thread and spare anymore embarassment?

[cokelandsaxton]

I'm a tenor.
Range is from F2-F5
Tessitura lies from roughly C3-F4

[sebastian]

Mine is like a D#2 with morning voice but a F2 normally and a F-F#5 if I try really hard

[oyly22]

I'm a boy :) my lower limit is around D3 for chest but can go pretty low using fry
I don't have any passaggios, my voice is very continuous and I didn't have a "break" yet
However, I will sound chestier or headier at a determined pitch depending on the style I choose and the loudness of the sound
For example, I could sing a D5 using pretty much all tones (chest, "mix", head)
My overall, modal range (not including fry nor whistle) is D3-D7, but my comfortable range is E3-B6.

D7, that sounds like a world record. Does anyone know of a singer with octave 7 notes that are definitely not whistle notes?

it's very normal for people prepuberty
ask children and they will go to around C7 or higher using their head tone haha
by the way, my comfortable range in "head" is up to B6
I could send records of my downglides but I don't know how here haha

[TheCMRecluse]

After some practice and playing a lot with pitch monitors I can finally determine my entire range.

My Passagio
Fry: C♯1 - B1
Chest: C2 - G♯3
Middle (or mixed): D4 - B4
Lower Middle: G♯3 - D4
Upper Middle: D4 - B4
Head: C5 - E♭5
Falsetto: E♭5 - F♯6

Not countable but still worth mentioning
Lowest note I ever reached: F0
Highest note I ever reached: G7

So that means that your passaggi are G#3 - D4 - Eb5 ? The latter being the acoustic shift in headvoice, the one that's included in passaggis for female singers (Mezzos are typically at E5 or F5). That seems similar to Ivan Rebroff, who had good low octave 2 notes and an impressively high head voice.
My passaggi are very different. C(♯)4 - F#4 - C(♭)5. Where my C-C#-D in headvoice are good notes, Rebroff had E-F-F# that really shone.

My mentors were my mom who's a classically trained contralto and my choir leader who's a tenor with an experience in gospel music and Latin funk music. As a kid I was constantly training with many songs and styles that going into my adult would I've been able to memorize melodies by ears and imitate the vocalists inflections. I'm a baritone in general but I think I've been able to mostly have no problem with singing tenor range or at the very least follow along with the vocalist's notes without problem.

You talked about that earlier, your ability to sing high up in "mixed voice", which is technically in the M2 register. Rebroff didn't do that, that I know of. It was either or. High tenors often do that a lot. Robert Plant sang D5s in chest voice, some times E5. In Communication Breakdown he sings a very nice F#5 in mixed voice. He was able to do that because his falsetto register went even much further.

[goblonaut]

My range is something like C2-Bb5 at max, with comfortable range at something like E2-D5 depending of course on the melodies etc.
youtu.be/KmQ-hNZMOYc?t=166 slide to A5 here, also has lots of C5's in the verses and sustained C5s in the chorus with short D5s.
soundcloud.com/breakfrombedlam/gunslinger-mastered-demo
3:28 onward is probably the lowest I can do, lowest note is somewhere in the C2 area maybe. Also a D5 at the end.

I kinda trail between being a low tenor / baritenor. I can do low stuff and my speaking voice can be low at times, but my comfortable range and voice is definitely higher than most men.

[flowwergrrrlxo]

Lowest Note in Fry - E1
Lowest Note Ever in Chest Voice - C2
Lowest Consistent Note in Chest - Ab2 or A2
Higest Consistent Note in Chest - A4
Highest Note in Mixed Voice (highest note ever because I'm not that good at accessing my mixed voice and I'm note sure I can call any of these notes "consistent") - E5
Lowest Note in Falsetto - C4
Lowest Consistent Note in Falsetto - F#4
Highest Note in Falsetto - C#6
Highest Consistent Note in Falsetto - A5

I've hit a squeaky little Eb6, idk what part of my voice I'd put it in though. I've also practiced inhales like Roger Waters and I've gone all the way up to Ab6 like that.

I'll take a guess at low tenor. You can go lower than that in falsetto, but you'll be below your passaggi, which is straining. One octave lower is very possible, but there will be little volume.

[amadeusd]

Lowest Fry note: G#1
Lowest inconsistent note: A1
Lowest consistent note: C2
Highest full chest note: B4
Highest mixed note: G#5
Highest head note: A5
Highest Falsetto note: Eb6
Highest consistent falsetto note: D6
Highest Whistle note: B7 (this has happened only twice)
Highest sustained Whistle note: Eb7
Highest consistent whistle note: TBD as i redevelop it, but its looking like G/G#/A6.


Consistent, "yes, ill show you" range; C2-(G#5)-A5-D6.

Full range i've used musically: C2-Bb5-C#6-Eb7

[telepath]

Lowest note: C2 (very easy w/ morning voice)
Note: I think my pitch checker on my phone has trouble with fry because I feel like I’ve gone slightly lower but it doesn’t register. Or maybe I’m dumb, idk
Lowest consistent note: D#2
Highest note I can hit softly without belting or falsetto: F4 (maybe not super important but I thought I’d mention)
Highest consistent belt: C5, but my C#5s and D5s are actually doing pretty well
Highest non falsetto note ever hit: E5, questionable quality but I’m proud of it
Lowest falsetto note: E3
Lowest consistent falsetto note: G3
Highest consistent falsetto note: A5
Highest falsetto ever: B5
One time I accidentally screamed: C6
Weird inhaled squeaks: up to C7, usually land around G6

Current standard range: D#2 - C5 - A5

[Homelander]

Usually, D2 - E♭4 - B5. Sometimes, it could be as much as C2 - E4 - C6 or C♯6, but C♯6 is quite rare if we're being honest. And it kinda hurts. Anything above E5 has a very coarse sound (more so than the rest of my voice) and is uncomfortable to produce.

If you can sing a full sounding E5 with good volume, vibrato and phrasing that doesn't sound like Mickey Mouse, then that's very useful. A super squeaky C6 may actually make you sound like the worst soprano in the history of mankind. Good for Ivan Dorin style range wanking, but not much more.

Here's a compilation of notes throughout my career so far

A1-C6-Eb7

I can probably crank a bit more out, there is an unlisted video of me doing an A7 I might release but I figured it's best to only use stuff I tracked or performed.

Enjoy!
