Test your vocal range and discover your singing voice classification with real-time browser pitch detection from your microphone.
Capture comfortable, sustained notes after a gentle warm-up. These examples explain the displayed range; they do not assign a singing voice type.
A3 is MIDI note 57 and A4 is MIDI note 69. Subtracting 57 from 69 gives 12; dividing by 12 gives one octave. Your microphone must detect the sustained pitches before capture is available.
G4 is 19 semitones above C3. Reference-range overlaps can help compare spans, but tone, register transitions, and tessitura also matter for voice classification.
Background music, vocal fry, and microphone noise can affect detection. Repeat unclear captures without forcing an uncomfortable note.
The Vocal Range & Voice Type Detector measures your vocal span and identifies your voice classification using real-time microphone pitch tracking. By analyzing fundamental acoustic frequencies from your lowest singable note to your highest comfortable pitch, this tool maps your vocal boundaries against classical and contemporary voice categories including Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contralto, Mezzo-Soprano, and Soprano. All audio analysis executes strictly on your local device using the browser Web Audio API, ensuring complete privacy with zero recordings transmitted over the network.
Singing voice classification depends on both vocal range (the absolute span from lowest to highest singable pitch) and tessitura (the pitch region where your voice sounds most natural, resonant, and effortless without strain). Pitch detection uses an in-memory autocorrelation algorithm that continuously tracks audio waveform periodicity between 50 Hz and 1,500 Hz, converting detected frequencies into scientific pitch notation and musical semitones.
Before testing your range, perform gentle vocal warm-ups such as lip trills, gentle hums, and sirens. Cold vocal cords can understate your lower register and risk unnecessary strain on higher notes. Test your lowest note by humming downwards on an open vowel until pitch stability fades, then ascend comfortably to discover your highest unforced tone.
Click Start Microphone to allow browser audio capture. Your microphone stream is processed entirely in local memory with zero recording or audio storage.
Hum or sing down to your lowest comfortable pitch on a vowel like "ah" or "oo". When the live tuner needle stabilizes on your bottom pitch, click Lock Lowest Note.
Sing upward to your highest comfortable note without straining into strained falsetto or vocal crack. Once the pitch dial locks in, click Lock Highest Note.
Review your total octave span, classified singing voice type, and celebrity vocal range matches. Download a personalized vocal profile card for vocal training.
In-memory fundamental frequency estimator detecting pitches between 50 Hz and 1,500 Hz with real-time cents deviation metering.
Translates raw acoustic Hertz frequencies directly into standard musical note designations and MIDI note numbers from C2 to C6.
Calculates overlap across classical vocal types including Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contralto, Mezzo-Soprano, and Soprano.
Renders a downloadable profile summary graphic with your octave span, vocal classification, and famous artist counterparts.
Warm up gently before vocal tests. Sing with relaxed breath support and avoid pushing into strained falsetto or vocal fry when establishing your lowest and highest usable notes.
Compare captured comfortable low and high notes with the notes required by a song. Range alone does not show whether its phrases fit your tessitura.
Download a range card after a consistent warm-up and repeat under similar conditions. Compare stable captures rather than isolated squeaks or strained notes.

| Contralto | F3 – F5 (175 Hz – 698 Hz) | Adele, Amy Winehouse, Cher, Annie Lennox |
| Mezzo-Soprano | A3 – A5 (220 Hz – 880 Hz) | Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston, Dua Lipa |
| Soprano | C4 – C6 (261 Hz – 1,046 Hz) | Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson |
Vocal range refers to the absolute span from the lowest note to the highest note you can produce, including vocal fry and whistle tones. Tessitura refers to the narrower musical pitch zone where your voice resonates with optimum timbre, volume, and endurance without vocal strain. Songs should primarily live within your tessitura rather than your extreme boundaries.
For the most accurate evaluation of your practical singing range, use your modal voice (chest voice and supported mixed voice). You may include supported head voice for your top note if it is a tone you can reliably sustain in song, but avoid unsupported squeaks or strained vocal fry that cannot be used musically.
Natural human singing possesses subtle micro-pitch fluctuations called vibrato, typically oscillating 4 to 7 times per second across 20 to 50 cents. The pitch detector reflects this live frequency oscillation. Hold a steady vowel and observe the center average note reading.

Yes. With regular vocal warm-ups, proper breath support, diaphragmatic control, and healthy resonance placement, most singers can comfortably expand their usable range by several semitones, particularly in the upper mixed voice and transitional break areas.
