As an alto singer, I pride myself on having the best of two worlds when it comes to vocal range. On one hand, I can sing some sweet angelic high notes in my head voice. and on the other, I can give strong, thick, powerful belts in my lower range. Think of singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Adele who are simply unmatched when it comes to singing with intense emotional inflection and rich tone. The alto range is where it's at!
As a session singer, writer, and producer that has worked with over 200 clients to provide high-quality jingles, singles, features, nursery rhymes, and DJ drops, Yona Marie currently spends her time engulfed in creating and marketing new music. She has developed a strong passion for creating helpful content for artists and musicians who share a similar plight of making their way through an ever-changing digital music world. Her most recent creative collaborations include work with PBS Sound Field, Tribe of Noise, and the National Black Chamber of Commerce.

I thought I was kinda bad at singing because "normal" range female songs are usually right in the crack in my voice, in the hardest place to sing comfortably. But I just need to embrace my low range. Higher is not better.

I have always loved singing. Even signing in the shower has always brought me peace. Yesterday I tried an app that detects range & it turns out they labeled me as an alto! As a total beginner with only amateur skill/practice I feel that vocals are something I would love to keep working on. The best part about vocals is that your instrument is your own voice and I find that so cool. I can’t misplace my voice and it costs absolutely nothing to practice. The gratitude I feel from realizing my potential is such a beautiful feeling. This is my first video I’ve watched since seriously considering working on my vocal skills so thank you for all the amazing info.❤️

@HR-zj3eo Yeah, alto is comfortable to sing, but my throat really loved to go low. It's almost like I'm growling when I sing. If I make my voice really raspy, I can get it even lower. I can also follow along really well with the soprano warm ups, too.

I'm a contralto (Bb2-C3 at my lowest on any given day), but I have a SUPER bright tone. Think newborn baby bright. My voice teacher was convinced I was a soprano that just didnt unlock my voice yet. As I'm struggling to hit an E5. And then was SHOCKED when I accidentally sang down the octave in the tenor range because she never gave me a chance to sing in my comfort zone. Trust me. You do not want to be a contralto. Boy sung songs are always about one semitone too low, other boy sung songs are too high and you have to face the fact that pop countertenors are out of your range (on the high end!), and basically every song done by a female is too high somewhere. I can sing about half of every single song in existence. Just not a full song of anything without transposing a single section.

I'm a High Tenor/Countertenor and I sang Alto in choir during HS and in my early adult years. I am also able to cover Soprano notes and Tenor notes. I did some voice training and found out I'm neither Tenor or Alto but more towards Soprano. I actually like the fact that I have Soprano, Alto and Tenor ranges to my voice.

I sing in the praise team when I used to sing in the background there was a time where it was me and an alto singer singing behind the leader our voices blended perfectly we kinda were hitting runs and riffs we also sounded very jazzy and our vibratos were really fast so we were the absolute best yet afterwards our soprano singer came we were still lit but her vibrato was medium fast and her voice was more squeaky like but in a beautiful way yet it kinda took away from the richer tones we had going on up there I said to myself then (altos and tenors rocks) it was fun frfr

I was that way. It was intimidating. I recorded myself a lot since I was 13, still do. That way I could listen to myself and tweak on things I needed to work on. There are times when I hate the sound of my voice though and i give it a rest do a few weeks, zero singing. Sang a few months in a youth choir and our choir master shifted me from soprano to alto. I thank him for that because I wouldn't know. I was younger then but he could hear already that I was a contralto. I suggest taking the time to find singers with a similar tone and study them. Their delivery, their techniques, I watched everything, even the gestures of the mouth when they sang. I thank RU-vid too for teaching me because since that short time in the choir I just started teaching myself how to sing. I'll send links that I think will be helpful

@@tiatsele yea, I had a friend that sung really good. And my mom said that I could sing, but I don't know I lost the confidence to sing. I get woozy and feel like I'm abt to pass out lol. So I just sing regularly. My voice is kinda strong and deep short of so I'm a low alto, but sometimes when I hear myself sing I sound good but sometimes it sounds horrible and I can't seem to go higher. And I believe I striped my voice a few times. But having this friend around made me start singing to, so but then that friend would ask me to sing for him and I didn't want to cause I was shy but I felt like he was kinda making fun of me because I had more of a strong voice rather than more of a soprano or high alto voice.we would record ourselves and send the songs to oneanother to share a close bond but i dont know how to put feeling in my singing thats something i struggle with terribly. So I don't know.. what to do lol

Would you really like to be a contralto? Really? I'm a contralto, and sometime I hate my dark timbre, because everything I sing sounds not how it should sound! The Mezzopart is not that light, bright and easy, as it should, and the easy tenor part sound weard because it's a female voice... My voicalrange is from C3 up to E5, sometimes F5. For songs from musical theatre it is most times not high enough. The mezzo sopranos hit easely notes up to C6 and higher... And it sounds not that good with my voice anyway... 😔 But, hey, not everybody can sing a romantic duett with himself...
