5 Reasons Why Vocal Range DOES NOT MATTER! 

margle farble true

margle farble lower the key my dude. I have to sing most songs by women an octave lower lmao

HAHAH

gia sams

i sing 1 octave lower too :p demi hits g5 i hit g4 beyonce hit c3 i hit c2. Kinda lucky my range is just 1 below of sopranos haha

Angel Morales I KNOW RIGHT!

me too! What’s you sweet spot tho?

Mariano Spears The "oohm poppa mao mao" in Elvira by the Oak Ridge Boys. Lol

yasssss all my baritones and basses out there

Baritone here

April Brooks Photo Address True. But then again she's a Contralto. She just needs to hit most of her comfort singing range in chest register :) Seriously. That's why her voice is so naturally rich and weighty.

We could learn a lot from that concept!

Lane? What the hell does that mean?

@@oneilgerald, Are you perfect pitch?

@@nielsenmakaba5777 im dead

That's crazy Queen Beyonce does not stays in her line she sings so high and so powerful what do you even mean Beyonce is a vocal moster that's why we love her so much.

prof32 What’s even better is even if you cannot understand the lyrics the emotion is still conveyed successfully. I have listened to foreign songs where I was moved and my impression on it is not that far from the song’s actual meaning. And most of such songs were not sung on belty high vocal range.

Scanned hahahahaha same. can't even use half of them

omg im laughing hardcore rn HAHAHAHAHA

You need to practice more in order to make that 4 octave range pleasant and usable..

Same At least i did before it got cold outside because im not allowed to raise my voice in the house. 8 months without practice destroyed me, i used to be able to do high tenor notes and some brief whistle tones

i sing mostly female songs so my head voice is well defined for a baritone

#Ayeni! That means a lot to me! Glad I could be of service!!!

Of course I'll find you here!

YESSSSS!!!!!!!

Thank you for your post. I am the same. I feel if I can't sing high I am rubbish and feel like giving up. But I will crack on!!

I am very high Leggerio tenor and I able to hit so much high notes than C5 but really really love contralto voice please do not think your voice is crap She is actually so powefull and so special and rare

Well you have a good vocal coach! Keep working away! Thanks for commenting!

My coach calls my first octave notes party tricks because I’ll almost never use them

Can’t stand whistle tone. It’s so ugly.

@@johnputnam3228 well your entitled to your own option

So glad I could be of some insight to you!

GarageStudio Love Mariah but that's debateable, lol.

Mariah's range is achieved through vocal tricks most singers could do if they put in the time to learn. Namely harmonics.

i think she does it all so naturally though. there is a disconnect between her chest and head voice but she makes up for it it and covers it pretty well.

Mariah's went outside her healthy range (along with not taking care of it) and paid the price. Mariah's range and discipline fell off a cliff which is why she has had to lip sync her last few public performances. Mariah's only vocal trick was octave runs.

Mariah Carey is one of the singers who's referring to... In terms of singing outside the comfort zone and doing notes in the studio, that is hard for her to do live. That's why she lips so much. But Mariah has nodules since a child. Her voice deteriorated from them being on her chords.

Actually that not so true yes its make you tried if you try to sing whole day in that note but if you hit that note in proper technic and that not unhealty actually that healtly and make more strong your vocal folds agains aging by the time and she just doing that

John Samama Are you a high Tenor? It is better to go head voice dominant for sure it will be less stressful and easier on your voice. Sometimes your passagio can differ with different vowel sounds. Perhaps you can use that to you advantage. If you are able to find a sound that you chest out then that gives you an option, an alternative.

U can change key of a song to be good with Ur voice

Yes. She is a wonderful example imo.

Thanks for watching! The reason health matters is because of longevity. If you can't sing 25 years from now 😀because of something you did 20 years prior, you won't be happy. Longevity in singing matters, especially if this is your career, just like your legs matter if you want to be as independent as possible! The "safe zone" of vocal technique definitely can be limiting in terms of expression, but that's a cost some singers are willing to pay! But thanks for sharing!!! Blessings!

O'Neil Gerald I get your point. And it's true. The thing is, some singers actually accept a slight deterioration over the years. That's why I said: check Nina Hagen. She knows that she can't sing like she could 20 years before anymore, so she doesn't even try. Her high operatic notes are gone, so she developed her already impressive low register even more, now she has some of the most amazing lows i've ever heard from a female singer (bass/baritone -range) She did exactly what you said: she made more out of less. And to me, her singing ability is not diminished by the fact that she damaged her voice heavily - she knew exactly what she was doing back then and willingly 'paid the price' I like this approach to singing. It's a little bit like accepting getting older and don't dress like you are 20 when in fact you are already 50.... I think the best way is something in between - care for your voice but also take some risks here and there.

No heer range is not perfection halve of the stuff she does isn’t even the notes or supported now Beyoncé she supports all of her 4.2 octave range

Brax1982 I'm a Contralto and l still struggle with my chest register. I tried to learn to sing on and off as a grown adult for years with little success. I had informal lessons with different people. One told me "you may be an alto", "you have a pretty low voice...for a girl (he gave me a strange look)" I didn't really believe it because falsetto was easy and chest voice was a lot of effort and feels immoveable. Sometimes when l wasn't over thinking it l could reach extreme low notes along side Jazmine Sullivan or Toni B, or I would sing with a high Mezzo and l think, l think my voice is lower than hers? I damaged my voice singing unhealthily, (probably too high) and gave up. The damage left me in crippling pain if l tried to speak louder in a certain range and my voice dropped to a weak, lower pitch mumble. This really took a hit on my self esteem. Sometimes if l spoke in a certain range l got a metallic rattle (someone said to me).. Another told me l sounded like Janis Joplin. In that time l felt something else was happening with my voice. There were instances in my life purely with my voice addressed me as Sir or l got mistaken for my brother. My voice got lower and darker! Spontaneously l could sing tenor notes when l sing along with them (Daniel Ceasar and Zayn Malik). I couldn't ignore that anymore. So I've been rehabilitating my voice. It's much better now. It took a huge leap of faith. I still had doubts about my voice. But with that thought in mind I've never made so much progress in my singing. I can use chest voice! The chest voice l speak with! That's my true voice. I am working on that huge chunk of chest voice that had missing, what l had wanted and craved for for so long. I think part of the problem is when l sing l don't really 'hear' myself. I think the dark colour of my chest register is now difficult to "hear" than a brighter colour voice that l had in my younger years. My voice had turned androgynous, but that's something l learned to embrace, knowing l don't sound like most women do (at first the low sounds scared me, I didn't know if they were healthy, l couldn't believe they came from me). I had previously said to myself, I would love to have that dark timbre in my voice, it's just super warm.... It came true. 😃 I thought contraltos were super rare. They're like unicorns the way people speak about them. Sometimes they would even explain away a contralto as a pushed down Mezzo and it frustrates me a lot because no one singer sounds the same, and that most contraltos sound perfectly feminine, not all of them sound masculine.
