Vocal Range Test
Find your vocal range right in your browser: read a tongue twister and we'll suggest a range from the pitch of your speech, then sing your lowest and highest notes and move the limits. You'll see how many octaves you have, your voice type and famous singers with a similar voice.

The mic is listening. Now: —
Your speech only gave us a rough range. Sing your lowest and highest notes — they light up in the “Your voice” column — and drag the handles to them. On the right you can see which voice type fits.
The mic is off: drag the handles to the lowest and highest notes you can sing cleanly. On the right you can see which voice type fits your range.

Get Vocal RangeHow the test works
- Choose your voiceMale or female — it sets your voice type; notes are detected the same way.
- Read the tongue twisterRead it aloud several times until the bar is filled: from the average pitch of your speech we estimate your range and voice type.
- Fine-tune your rangeThe mic keeps listening: sing your lowest and highest clean notes and drag the handles to them. On the right you can see which voice type fits your range.
- Get your resultYour range in notes and octaves, your voice type and famous singers with a similar voice — with their ranges and songs.
How to get an accurate result
- Read the tongue twister in your normal speaking voice — no higher or lower than you usually talk.
- Warm up for a couple of minutes: in the morning and without a warm-up your range is noticeably narrower.
- Sing in a quiet room and keep your phone or laptop 20–40 cm (8–16 in) from your mouth.
- Sing the notes for the handles on “ah” or “oo”, steady, without vibrato or slides.
- Don't force it: if your throat tightens or the sound gets raspy, that note is already outside your working range.
Voice types and their ranges
Approximate working ranges of the classical classification. In pop singing the borders are blurred: a voice type is defined not only by range but also by timbre and where the voice feels most comfortable.

Questions
What is the vocal range of an average person?
An untrained voice usually covers one and a half to two octaves. People who sing have two to three, and professional singers with falsetto and vocal fry can reach four or more.
How do I find my voice type?
Take the test above: from your speech and the notes you can sing we'll suggest your likely voice type. A voice teacher determines it precisely by timbre and where your voice is most comfortable — range is only one of the signs.
Can I extend my vocal range?
Yes, with regular warm-ups and breathing exercises. The key is to do it gradually, without strain or shouting.
Why is my result different from last time?
Your range depends on how warmed up and tired you are, the time of day and even how loudly you sing. Go by your best result after a warm-up.
Is my voice recorded?
No. The sound from the microphone is analysed right in your browser on your device — nothing is sent to a server.
What do notes like A2 or C5 mean?
The letter is the note (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) and the number is the octave. C4 is middle C, in the middle of a piano keyboard.
