Hey Daniel, any idea on my range? It's been hard not to go hit notes on the piano and figure it out but I haven't been brave enough since my family would have been really curious to know what I was doing (and I didn't want to start all the neighbor dogs howling!).

Usually G6 to to C4. On a perfect day with proper planetary alignment, I can clear the C7. Haven't practiced much above middle C. I'm the only one in our church who can remotely sing bass. I have been trying to encourange my 8-year old to accept his range, which he thinks sounds too girly...

When we were installing my Kenmore, they dropped it on my big toe. I hit a G 10, easy.

I would guess you have a comfortable range of G3 to E5, and could probably go up to G5 without too much difficulty. I'd be happy to check sometime, perhaps if we're at a church for a conference early enough that pretty much nobody else is there.

I would actually be interested in knowing what my range is, but to be honest, I have no clue. I know it's from baritone to a high bass... But to know the actual notes... no clue.

That's me. I have never checked to see exactly what my range was. I know I can hit bass notes and sing in the lead range but to put a key on it I can't.

Wow!

I knew you did the double high Cs, but I hadn't heard about the D.

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



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


Interesting--thanks!



Probably not the first time this was used, but I have it on an Imperials live album from the 70s and Jim Murray says that when he's "tuning" the cowbell for "Sail On."

BTW normal day range - G2 to D4
Early morning - as low as C2
Great vocal day - Eb4 (no falsetto, I'm talking blowin' and goin') Doesn't happen very often.

I have always loved trying to sing high and low, but never knew what range I had. Until I got this computer program, now I just sing and watch the screen it is really fun

My range is down to A1 and up to C6, but I have to work hard to get That high. Singing low is easier for me, but tenor is my favorite to sing.

Well, if anyone knows Dean Hopper's range... I can usually sing comfortable right along with him. If I switch into a head voice, I can sing with Kim for most of her songs. I also like to see how low I can go. But anyway... I doubt I am singing correctly since Mom always tells me I am singing an octave too high (sounds fine to me) and everyone else pretends to hang themselves when I start to sing. "Oh no... she's singing again!"
