Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this vocal range finder?
Our tool uses the YIN pitch detection algorithm, which provides sub-semitone accuracy. However, results depend on your microphone quality, background noise, and vocal technique. For the most accurate results, use headphones and sing in a quiet room.
What voice types can it detect?
The tool classifies voices into 7 types: Bass, Baritone, Tenor, and Countertenor for male voices; Contralto, Mezzo-Soprano, and Soprano for female voices.
Do I need to be a trained singer?
Not at all! The tool works for everyone — beginners and professionals alike. Just sing the lowest and highest notes you can comfortably produce.
How do chest voice and head voice differ?
Chest voice is your lower register — it resonates in your chest and feels powerful and full. Head voice is your upper register — it resonates in your head and sounds lighter and airier. The transition point between them is called the passaggio. Most singers use both registers.
What is tessitura?
Tessitura is the range where your voice sounds most natural and comfortable. It's narrower than your full range and is important for choosing songs that suit your voice.
What is passaggio?
Passaggio is the point where your voice transitions between registers (like chest voice to head voice). It often feels like a "break" or shift in tone quality.
Why is my detected range narrower than expected?
Several factors can limit detected range: microphone quality (built-in mics may miss very low or very high notes), background noise (masks quiet notes), vocal warm-up (cold voices have a narrower range), and technique (forcing notes produces unreliable readings). Warm up for 5-10 minutes and test in a quiet room.
How can I expand my vocal range?
Regular warm-ups, breath support exercises, proper hydration, and working with a vocal coach are the best ways to safely expand your range over time.
