What is your range?

Here's a chart to help you give a precise answer: click here. Middle C is C4, so you can count from there.

Here are my answers:
Usual comfortable range (full voice ): G2 to G4
Usual maximum range (with head voice): F2 to F5
Lowest/highest notes hit: D2 / A5

I'd be interested to see what everyone else posts!

Well I sing right along with Taranda Greene and Glen Dustin. lol.

I really can't sing well so I don't know how I could have a vocal range, but that is why I turn the music up loud enough that I can't hear myself.

On the low end, I just don't know. The highest note I've ever sung was the high B (B's...there are several of them) in I've Just Seen Jesus.

Daniel you're getting some funny answers thats for sure. I can sing a A pretty easily and a Bflat on a good night. ON the low end, a D is about my limit. ON our recent CD I sing an A on the first song. But my friend, its not the range a person can sing, but how good the quality is in that range.

Oh my, how true. Many, many years ago there was a lady at our church who just wanted to out do me as far as singing high notes. She was a screamer

I sing like the Monkey in Guitarzan!

oh,,, and far as my range, depending on the weather and my sinuses that day, could be anywhere from Sandi Patty range to J.D.Sumner low end.

In Public: D2-G4

Lowest Note: A1 (hit it once, never matched it.)

Highest Note: F4

I considered myself to have a very solid 2 3/4 octave range. I mean notes that were there for me everyday. In rehearsals I could stretch the lower end of my range to B1, and my high range close to the Tenor C. But my singing days are well and gone.

I agree fully. That's what counts in the end.

I had a feeling this would be a fun topic, but I didn't expect it to be quite this silly.

That reminds me of something Mark Lowry said on the Gaither video from Atlanta. "Put him in G, Anthony. He'll flat it himself."

That's me by the way.

So was that originally a Mark Lowry line? Roy Webb would use it every night, and various Gaither band members are still using it.

The short answer Daniel is No. That line, or variations of it, has been used for as long as I can remember. And as you know I can remember a long time.

A variation of that line is also in the '80s movie, "Goonies"... they have to play a piano made of bones in order to avoid being dashed against the rocks below. The note needed is a Bb, but the lead character says... "if you hit the wrong note, we'll all B flat!"... HA HA (sorry, It's my favorite movie)

I know this has already been answered, but I'm just getting back.

It's not the first time it was used, but it's the first time I heard it.
