Vocal Range Test
Sing your lowest and highest comfortable notes and see your range on a piano keyboard, how many octaves it spans, and your likely voice type — bass, baritone, tenor, alto, mezzo or soprano. Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

<!-- how it works -->
Two notes, one second each
The test listens to the microphone and works out the pitch of your voice many times a second. When a note stays within about half a semitone for a second, it counts as held and is saved. Your lowest and highest held notes give your range, and the range is compared with the typical ranges of the six classical voice types.
- 01
Go low
Sing an easy “ah” and slide down to the lowest note that still sounds solid. Hold it.
- 02
Go high
Slide up to the highest note you can sing without straining. Hold it.
- 03

See your range on the keyboard and the voice types it fits. Redo either note anytime.

Common questions
How do I find my vocal range?
Sing the lowest note you can hold comfortably, then the highest, and name both notes. That pair — for example E2–G4 — is your range. This test does the naming for you: hold each note for about a second and it records the note it heard. Use comfortable notes, not the most you can squeeze out, or the result will flatter you and the strain is not worth it.
What are the voice types and their ranges?
The usual approximate comfortable ranges are: bass E2–E4, baritone A2–A4, tenor C3–C5, alto F3–F5, mezzo-soprano A3–A5 and soprano C4–C6. They overlap a lot on purpose. Teachers also judge voice type by tone, by where the voice sits most easily, and by where it changes register, so a range alone gives a likely type, not a final answer.
How many octaves is a normal vocal range?
Many untrained adults sing comfortably across roughly one and a half to two octaves. Trained singers often manage more, and some people have unusually wide ranges. Practice tends to widen the comfortable part of your range and makes the edges sound better.
Why does the test show the wrong note or octave?
Usually because of noise, a breathy or wobbly note, or a laptop microphone that barely picks up very low notes. Sing a clear "ah" close to the mic in a quiet room and keep the note steady. If a captured note looks an octave off, press Redo for that step and try again.
Is my singing recorded or uploaded?
No. The pitch is measured in your browser from the live microphone signal, and nothing is saved or sent anywhere. Closing the tab ends it.
