Default How do you work out your vocal range?
Is there a way of working out what range you sing in i.e. Tenor, Baritone etc?

Do the growls as low as you can, and do the screams as high as you can. Simpol.

Start at middle C on a keyboard and see how low and high you can comfortably sing from there.

I suppose you would need to know what a first register, second register etc is before you can use that chart.

I've sung tenor in a choir for years, and I would say that if you can sing a G or an A without switching to falsetto then you are a tenor.

Thank you for answers I was looking for Mr MKII and Mr Dusty.

One other question, how come I can sing uber-low after a heavy night out?

Having heard you sing Dusty, you have a decent vocal range, better than mine. Its pretty low too.

Don't drink before a gig as you're performance will suffer.

I'm usually off booze for several days minimal pre-gig.

You put more strain on your vocal chords when you're drunk because you talk louder is one reason, the other is either related to the alcohol or the resultant dehydration affecting your vocal chords, I can't remember fully, but I did read/see something about this recently.
