You can only view TRP3 now if you had an account.

well there's one other way
iirc TLS said on the discord he created a lurker account for people who didn't have an account before(but it'll only let you see range threads nothing else)
i don't think he said that on the forum tho.

I was wondering if yall could start putting Vocal Type classification back on singer profiles. I remember the range planet included vocal type classification.

[Baronessa]

I mean, we don't not put voice types on OPs even now.

[Gatr]

We've gone back and forth over time about what exactly to do with voice types, and we seem to have settled on just leaving them optional. Some threads have them, some don't; it's up to the individual threadmaker.

I also made a The Range Planet subreddit. It's called r/therangeplanet if anyone's interested.

I was curious as to why there are so many duplicate songs in each profile? I'm a new user (and new to singing), so I know there might be a very good reason for why that is the case, but I've been getting flustered because I've been referencing the singer profiles as a way to find songs in my range, but so many songs are listed multiple times that the lower sections are basically pointless. Why list a song as having a G4 if the singer also hits a B4 in the song? I have been copy and pasting profiles into word documents and using the search function to find dupes so I can find the high notes of each song, but I wanted to ask why it's like that in the first place.

Can't speak for everyone, but this is how I personally go about things.

-Differentiate between registers (i.e. singer hits a chest G4 but also a falsetto B4)
-Differentiate between frequency (i.e. the pitch that is hit more prominently in the song, such as the main melody is around G4 but trills up to B4 on the final chorus)

and finally

-Differentiate between quality (i.e. A singer hits a G4 that is bold worthy in the song, but the song tops at B4)

When you combine these you can get different combos such as: Bold G4, predominant A4s, and topping at B4.

But when you incorporate different registers, that's when things can get spicy. Such as: Predominant C5s, Bold D5, Chest top E5, falsetto top B5, and whistle top E6.

So that's why there's duplicate songs, at least for me.

[Baronessa]

The highest and lowest notes are not always the most representative of the nature of a given song.

[Rodney Blazershorts]

You could always just find the lowest and highest notes from that song and ignore everything else, it takes about one extra second.

[IhateMana]

you also don't need to copy the thread into a word document, control + F works on your browser too lol

How do I get the right shade of blue for head voice/falsetto?

[font color=blue][/font] should do the trick.

[gabyoliva14]

How can I post the profile of my favorite singers?

[BAZanine]

If you mean a vocal range thread, you'll want to post that in the Work-in-Progress Threads section, just below Range Stuff. If you mean more of a personal ranking of your favorite singers, that'd likely be best put in your own Off-the-Wall thread.
