Voice Range Test Find your real vocal range

Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up, no download and no limit on how often you test. It runs online in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, and your audio is analyzed on your device, never recorded or uploaded. Only the optional AI tools elsewhere on the site, such as AI voice feedback, need an account and credits.

No. The built-in mic on your phone or laptop is enough, and you don't need headphones, because the voice range test plays no sound while you sing. Find a quiet room, keep the device about a forearm's length away and sing at a comfortable, steady volume. A headset or USB mic only helps if your room is noisy. If you pick notes by ear with “No mic? Pick notes”, the reference notes play fine through headphones or speakers.

Warm up with a few easy hums, press Start test and allow microphone access. Sing “ah” on a comfortable low note, then step up slowly, holding each note for about 2 seconds until the ring fills, and tap Stop & see result at the top of your voice. Prefer two steps? Switch to Guided to find your highest note first, then your lowest. For more methods, including one with a piano, read how to find your vocal range.

Yes. A voice range test, a vocal range checker and a vocal range finder are the same tool under different names. Use it as a finder the first time to discover your lowest and highest notes, then as a checker after a few weeks of practice to see whether your range has moved. Either way you get the same result: your notes, their frequencies, your octaves and your closest voice type.

Your pitch is measured dozens of times per second and each held note is rounded to the nearest semitone, so a steady note is identified reliably. A note only counts after about 2 seconds of steady singing, which keeps cracks and background noise out. The test listens from about C2 (65 Hz) to F6 (1,400 Hz), enough for every voice type from bass to soprano. What changes the result most is you: a cold voice, a noisy room or a wavering note will narrow it, so warm up first and test twice. The voice type is an estimate based on range alone.

Most adults without voice training can sing about 1.5 to 2 octaves, trained singers usually manage 2 to 3, and more than 3 is rare. Your result gives the exact figure: the semitones between your lowest and highest steady notes, divided by 12. Don't worry if your first try comes in under 1.5. A cold voice, a bottom note hummed too softly or a top note you didn't hold for 2 seconds all shrink the count, so warm up and run the voice range test again. To see what counts as a good range for men and women, read our guide to the average vocal range.

It gives you a strong first guess. The voice range test compares your comfortable range with seven voice types, from bass to soprano, shows how much of each one you cover and names the closest match. It leans on your lowest notes, because they change least with training, and picking male or female narrows the list. Range is only part of the picture, though: where your voice feels at home and its color matter too. For a closer look, take the voice type test or compare your notes with the vocal range chart.

Your voice depends on how warmed up, rested and hydrated you are. Most voices are lower and stiffer in the morning, and a cold, allergies or a long day of talking can take a few notes off the top. A difference of a few semitones between sessions is normal. To compare fairly, take the voice range test at a similar time of day after the same short warm-up.

Yes, mostly at the top. With regular, relaxed practice such as lip trills, sirens on “ng” and smooth slides through your register breaks, many singers gain a few semitones over a few months. The bottom of your range changes much less, because it depends on the size of your vocal folds. Never push through strain or pain. Our guide on how to sing higher has a simple routine, and a voice range test every few weeks shows your progress.

First check that your browser can use the microphone: click or tap the icon to the left of the address bar, set Microphone to Allow and reload. Make sure the right mic is selected, close apps such as Zoom or Teams that may be using it, and open the page in Safari or Chrome rather than an in-app browser. Then move a little closer and sing a steady “ah”. Still nothing? Tap “No mic? Pick notes” to play reference notes and choose the lowest and highest ones you can match. The test then builds your range from those two notes.
