From low note to high note, what's your vocal range with a full voice, non-falsetto?
 
Low C to sometimes a low B or Bb up 3 octaves to an E and on very good day F and even a G.

No falsetto, mainly because I really can't sing falsetto well at all.

Ps.

Just so there is no misunderstanding, that is four C notes I can sing in my range.
 
Low Low G up 2 octaves to E.

F & F# after that is "stuck notes". I couldn't get it right.

then the falseto usualy work OK on G and above (~1 octaves).

So have only ~ 2 Octaves without falseto.

My present comfortable range is from a low G to the F above middle C= one octave and a seventh, for solid sustained tones
of 10 seconds or more.

With training, it would increase to F on the bottom, to at least a
high A natural. Possibly a tenor's B flat. It was checked by an
operatic instructor who took me through a series of warm-ups to
get me "up there". Will probably gain a few low notes over the next five years as the voice is deepening, and "lose" a half note or so at the top then, as it becomes more baritonal in tone quality.

Keep in mind though that in the (true) pop genre's, an octave and
a fifth of comfortable range is normally sufficient.
Ranges of close to two octaves are handy for "legit" singers,
like those in a leading singing role on Broadway.
A practical range of two octaves and a note (or more) is good
for the operatic singer.

P.S. Get the book, "Free Your Voice", by Roger Love.
Terrific info/exercise CD on improving your voice IMHO.
 
Currently I go from C (four notes beneath the bass cleff) to E (four notes above the bass cleff). Above that is a badly strained falsetto.

Hard to find stuff written for that range.
 
with a little variation, from about C2 to about C5 (sometimes, E2 is the lowest i can hit-i need to work on this with a real teacher! also, the transition between regular and falsetto is practiced enough that while i can FEEL the difference, i don't really think "i need this voice to hit this note", i simply hit the note). i can get another octave, if lucky, on falsetto.
 
low low C 8 octaves up to high G

(-7 octaves if I havent just been kicked in the nuts)
 
Sorry I screwed up that book/CD title.
It's "Set Your Voice Free", by Roger Love.

Anyone that wants to increase their comfortable range should
study it. It's already helped me go up a 1/2 note already within
a week of working with it again.

I agree, thats a good book.

Ive only flicked through it and practiced some of the things but they are very helpful.


my range is about 2.5 octaves i think . On a good day (at this point in time) i can get a high Bb.

With falsetto i can get way higher, but it is not always appropriate to use.

Ill check when i get home.

I have no idea what my range is,it'd be intresting to find out I suspect.

best way i can describe it is theres not a single note that Freddie mercury can sing that I can't(although it doesn't sound like him really,but I have got roughly his range.

I call bs on this.

I have never met a singer with an 8-octave range, non-falsetto.
I have never even met one with a 7 octave rage.
 
range

all i know is that so far i am 3 octaves but my coach say once i learn how to breathe it may be higher :)
 
low C up three octaves, then my range stops at high B, I can never hit that fourth C octave.
