Vocal Range Calculator
Find your voice type (soprano, mezzo, alto, tenor, baritone, bass) by entering your lowest and highest comfortable singing notes in Hz.
The six classical voice types
Classical singing divides voices into six main categories based on range, timbre, and weight. Each type has a typical range measured from the lowest comfortable pitch to the highest:
| Voice Type | Range | Common Range (Hz) |
|---|---|---|
| Bass | E2 – E4 | 82 – 330 Hz |
| Baritone | G2 – G4 | 98 – 392 Hz |
| Tenor | C3 – C5 | 131 – 523 Hz |
| Countertenor | E3 – E5 | 165 – 659 Hz |
| Contralto (Alto) | F3 – F5 | 175 – 698 Hz |
| Mezzo-Soprano | A3 – A5 | 220 – 880 Hz |
| Soprano | C4 – C6 | 262 – 1047 Hz |
Key reference pitches (Hz)
To help you identify your range, here are standard concert pitches: A4 = 440 Hz (international tuning standard), C4 = 261.6 Hz (middle C), E2 = 82.4 Hz, G2 = 98.0 Hz, C3 = 130.8 Hz, E3 = 164.8 Hz, G3 = 196.0 Hz, A3 = 220.0 Hz, C5 = 523.3 Hz, E5 = 659.3 Hz, A5 = 880.0 Hz, C6 = 1046.5 Hz.
How to find your range
Warm up your voice first. Hum down to your lowest comfortable note (not strained or gravelly), then hum up to your highest comfortable note (not falsetto unless that is your natural singing voice). Use a piano, guitar app, or tuner app to identify the note, then look up its Hz value in the table above.
Voice type is not just range
Professional voice classification also considers timbre (tone colour), tessitura (the range where the voice sounds best), passaggio (the transition points between registers), and vocal weight. Range alone is a starting point, not a final diagnosis. A trained vocal coach can give you a more accurate assessment.
