Sing from your lowest comfortable note to your highest and see which voice type your range fits, how much it overlaps each of the six main types, and which singers share it. Free, private and right in your browser.
How it works
Three steps and one slow slide through your voice. Find a quiet spot and keep your phone or laptop about an arm's length away.
Step 1
Press Start and allow microphone access when your browser asks. Hum or sing a few easy notes first: a warmed-up voice usually reaches a few notes further at both ends than a cold one.
Step 2
On an open "ah" or "oo", start at the lowest note you can hold without growling, then slide or step up slowly to the highest note you can sing without straining. Hold each note for a moment; that is what makes it count.
Step 3
You get your lowest and highest notes with their frequencies, the voice type your range fits best, how much you overlap each of the six types, and singers with a similar range. Run it again any time to compare.
Quick reference
Typical classical ranges for each voice type, lowest note to highest, with the matching frequencies. Untrained singers usually cover a little less; trained singers often go further.
| Voice type | Typical range | Frequency | Singers often cited |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soprano | C4 – C6 (middle C to high C) | 262 – 1,047 Hz | Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion |
| Mezzo-soprano | A3 – A5 | 220 – 880 Hz | Adele, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston |
| Alto (contralto) | F3 – F5 | 175 – 698 Hz | Cher, Toni Braxton, Karen Carpenter |
| Tenor | C3 – C5 | 131 – 523 Hz | Luciano Pavarotti, Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder |
| Baritone | A2 – A4 | 110 – 440 Hz | Frank Sinatra, Josh Groban, Harry Styles |
| Bass | E2 – E4 | 82 – 330 Hz | Barry White, Johnny Cash |
Every singer listed here is one the test can match you with. Pop singers are classified loosely, and many famous "basses" such as Johnny Cash and Barry White are technically bass-baritones. Notes use scientific pitch notation, where C4 is middle C and A4 is 440 Hz.
Highlights
A voice type is only as good as the notes it's based on. Here's what the test does to keep your result honest.
Voices crack, breaths hiss and rooms echo. The test counts a note only after you've held it steadily for a moment, so a squeak at the top or a grumble at the bottom can't stretch your range and push you into the wrong voice type.
Few voices fit one box perfectly. Instead of a single label, you see what share of each voice type's range your voice covers, which makes it easy to spot a baritone who leans tenor or a mezzo with a strong top.
Your result lists well-known singers whose range overlaps yours. It is a quick way to find songs that sit comfortably in your voice, and to hear what your voice type can sound like with training.
Pitch detection runs inside your browser. Your voice is analyzed on your own device, nothing is recorded to our servers, and you don't need an account to see your result.
Range is the easiest part of a voice to measure, which is why every online voice type test starts there. On its own it's also the easiest to misread. Voice types overlap a lot: a tenor and a baritone may both reach G4, but one sings there comfortably all evening while the other is near the top of his voice. That's why voice teachers listen for a few things beyond your lowest and highest notes.
Treat your result as a starting point. If the test calls you a baritone but high notes feel easy and low ones feel heavy, you may be a tenor who has not built his top yet. The overlap percentages help here: a close second place is worth exploring with songs in both ranges, and the voice type guides describe how each type sounds.
Men: most adult men are baritones, so a baritone result is the most likely outcome, and true basses who can sustain an E2 are rare. If you flip into falsetto at the top, those notes still count toward your range, but they don't make you a tenor on their own. Tenors keep a full, connected sound up around G4 to A4.
Women: mezzo-soprano is the most common female voice type. Many women who mostly sing pop use chest voice and test lower than they would after some training, because head voice adds the top of the range. If your result says alto but you can float easily above C5 in head voice, take the test again and use that lighter sound for your highest notes.
Teens: voices change a lot during puberty. Boys' voices drop about an octave over a year or two, and girls' voices drop a few semitones. A result taken mid-change describes your voice today, not your adult voice type, so retest every few months, keep it comfortable, and stop if anything hurts or feels scratchy.
Adult voices keep changing slowly, too. Classical teachers often wait until a singer is in their twenties before settling on a voice type, and hormonal changes such as menopause can lower a voice later in life.
