Determining your voice type can be helpful, especially if you sing in choirs, ensembles, musicals, or as a lead vocalist. While most voices don’t fit perfectly into one specific voice type, here are six basic voice types and their approximate ranges:

• Bass: C2-F4
• Baritone: E2-A4
• Tenor: G2-C5
• Alto: C3-G5
• Mezzo: E3-A5
• Soprano: G3-E6

Keep in mind that these ranges may overlap, and it’s important not to strictly label your voice. Every voice is unique. Some famous artists and their voice types include:

• Bass: Barry White
• Baritone: Frank Sinatra
• Tenor: Jon Bon Jovi
• Alto: Cher
• Mezzo: Adele, Beyoncé
• Soprano: Mariah Carey
