This free online singing range test finds the lowest and highest notes you can sing, using your device’s microphone. Sing a low note, then your highest comfortable note, and the vocal range test shows your range as two note names, such as G2 to G4 or F3 to C5. Then compare them with the voice types below.

The singing range test shows your range, which is only one part of a full singing test. Each of these tools measures a different part of your voice, so pick the question you want answered next.
Voice Type Test
Compares your lowest, highest and easiest notes with the common voice types, from bass to soprano. You can sing or type your notes.
Check your voice typeSinging Grader
Rates a short sung take from 1 to 10 on pitch centring, steadiness, clear-pitch time and range used. It does not judge rhythm or tone.
Rate your singingHigh Note Test
A climbing game with rising target notes. It reports the highest note you could hold, as a note name and in Hz.
Test your top noteVoice Frequency Test
Measures the fundamental frequency of your speaking or singing voice in Hz, with your average and the nearest note.
Measure your voice in HzSinging Note Detector
Shows the note you are singing right now, its frequency and how many cents sharp or flat it is, then lists the notes you held.
See which note you singPitch Accuracy Test
Plays a note for you to sing back and shows how many cents sharp or flat you were, with a score out of 100.
Check if you sing in tuneHow to find your vocal range
Finding your vocal range takes a quiet room, a few minutes and a relaxed voice. The singing range test above works as a vocal range finder; follow these four steps.
- Warm up first
Hum, do lip trills or sing gentle sirens for three to five minutes. A cold voice usually tests narrower than it really is.
- Sing your lowest note
On an open “ah”, sing down step by step to the lowest note that still sounds clear and steady. Stop before it turns into a creaky rattle (vocal fry), which is not a usable singing note.
- Sing your highest note
Take a breath and climb one note at a time, or slide up on “ooh”. Hold the top note briefly at a normal volume. If a note hurts, cracks or needs shouting, the one below it is your top.
- Read it, then repeat
Write down your two notes and test again on another day, in the same room and at the same distance from the microphone. Tiredness and time of day can move a result by a note or two, so trust the notes that repeat.
Understanding your vocal range result
Your range is written as two notes, lowest to highest, such as A2 to A4. It describes what you sang today, not a lifetime limit. Three ideas help you read it.
Each note has a letter and an octave number. Middle C is C4, the number rises by one at every C, and A4 is the 440 Hz tuning note. Higher numbers mean higher notes, so C5 sits one octave above middle C.
Count the distance between your notes in semitones; 12 semitones make one octave, so G2 to G4 is two octaves. There is no exact average span, and a wider range is not automatically a better one.
Your extreme notes are not where you should sing most. The comfortable middle, called your tessitura, usually sits a few notes inside both ends and matters more for song keys and voice type. Learn how to find that comfortable core.
Voice types at a glance
Compare your two notes with the ranges most often cited for each voice type. Ranges vary by source, usually by a note or two, and many singers go beyond both ends, so use this as a guide.
| Voice type | Commonly cited range | Approx. Hz |
|---|---|---|
| Female voices | ||
| Soprano | C4 – C6 | 262 – 1,047 |
| Mezzo-soprano | A3 – A5 | 220 – 880 |
| Alto / contralto | F3 – F5some sources say E3 – D5 | 175 – 698 |
| Male voices | ||
| Tenor | C3 – C5 | 131 – 523 |
| Baritone | A2 – A4some sources say G2 – G4 | 110 – 440 |
| Bass | E2 – E4 | 82 – 330 |
Countertenors are men who sing in roughly the alto range, commonly cited as about G3 to E5, mostly in head voice or falsetto. A range alone does not settle your voice type: tone, weight and where your voice feels easiest count too, so matching two rows is normal. The charts card below links to the full chart with overlaps and more detail.

Charts and voice types
The chart of all six voice types lines up soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass on one scale, with overlaps. From there, the female and male charts, the SATB choir parts and a page for each voice type go deeper.
How many octaves can you sing?
Count your octaves, then check whether your octave range is good. That guide compares two, three and four octaves; separate pages cover 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-octave ranges and the highest notes on record.
How your voice works
Learn to read note names such as C4 and A5 with their frequencies, then find where your voice is most comfortable and how many octaves most people sing. When you want more notes, gradual, relaxed practice is the safe way to extend your range.
Songs for your voice
Put your range to work with alto songs for lower female voices and tenor songs from pop, rock and musicals. A soprano song list covers the highest voices. If a song sits too high or low for you, try it in a different key.
Famous singers’ ranges
Compare your notes with the ranges of famous singers in one overview. Individual profiles, such as Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston and Justin Bieber, show the notes each singer is credited with. Singer ranges are estimates from recordings, so sources often disagree.
Tools, guides and trust
Browse all free singing tools in one place, from range and voice type to pitch, notes and song keys. The accuracy section below explains what can change a reading before you rely on a number.
How accurate is an online vocal range test?
A vocal range tester can only report the sound that reaches it. Background noise, a distant or low-quality microphone and the noise suppression that some phones and browsers apply can all shift or hide a note. Very low notes are the hardest: small microphones pick up less of them, and a detector can mistake a weak low note for the one an octave higher.
Your voice also changes from day to day, so treat one result as a snapshot and trust the notes that repeat across two or three tests. The singing range test reports two measured notes, not a grade of your voice, and it is not a medical or professional assessment.
For the tools reviewed so far, audio is analysed inside your browser. The accuracy limits page covers each factor in detail, and the tool testing methodology lists which tools were reviewed, what each one measures and what has not been tested yet.
Frequently asked questions
Is this vocal range test free?
Yes. This voice range test is free and runs online in your browser, with no app to download and no account to create. The other singing tests on this site are free too.
How do I find my vocal range?
Your vocal range is the span from the lowest to the highest note you can sing clearly. To use this page as a vocal range finder, warm up, sing your lowest steady note, then your highest comfortable note, and read the two note names. The four steps above explain each part.
What is a good vocal range?
There is no single good range. As a rough rule of thumb, untrained singers cover about one and a half to two octaves, and training usually adds notes at both ends. How clearly and comfortably you sing your notes matters more than the total. See what an average range looks like.
Is this vocal range test accurate?
Like any online singing test, it can only be as reliable as the sound it hears. A quiet room, a steady tone held for a second or two and a few repeat tests give the most reliable notes. The accuracy section above explains what can throw a reading off.
Do I need a microphone for the vocal range test?
To sing it, yes. The voice range test listens to you, so your browser asks for microphone permission when you start. A phone or laptop’s built-in microphone is fine for a first test; a headset or external microphone in a quiet room gives a cleaner signal. If you already know your notes, type them into the test instead, like a vocal range calculator.
What voice type am I?
Match your two notes to the voice types table above; the row that fits your comfortable notes is a good first guess. For a fuller answer that also weighs your easiest notes, use the Voice Type Test in the next steps above. Tone and register changes matter too, so a teacher may place you differently.
Can I take the singing range test on my phone?
Yes. The vocal range test is built for current mobile browsers that allow microphone access. Keep the phone at the same distance for both notes, and close other apps that might be using the microphone before you start the sing test.
Can my vocal range change or improve?
Yes, within limits. Relaxed, regular practice can add notes at both ends over months, while illness and tiredness can narrow it for a while. Retest every few weeks under the same conditions to see real change.
