Hog Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Is there a way of working out what range you sing in i.e. Tenor, Baritone etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I think it starts off with saying, out loud, "Im a fucking ponce and want to know my vocal range..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Do the growls as low as you can, and do the screams as high as you can. Simpol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MKII Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 http://www.jazzwise.com/catalog/infopages.php?info_id=29Start at middle C on a keyboard and see how low and high you can comfortably sing from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 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.

Its pretty low too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I find that just getting pissed off and saying with some conviction in what you're singing is the best way to sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
