Free Vocal Range Test

Find your vocal range and voice type in 10 seconds. Runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no sign-up.

Test your vocal range

You'll record two notes: your lowest, then your highest. Each takes 4 seconds. Make sure your microphone works.

What is a vocal range test?

Your vocal range is the span between the lowest and highest notes you can sing. This tool records two short clips of your voice, uses pitch detection to find the lowest and highest stable notes, and classifies your voice into one of six standard categories: Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Alto, Mezzo-Soprano, or Soprano. All processing happens locally in your browser — your voice is never uploaded.

Voice types and typical ranges

There are six standard SATB voice categories used across classical, choral, and contemporary singing. The chart below shows the typical range for each. Your own range usually spans across two or three of these categories — the test classifies you by which one your range overlaps most closely.

How the vocal range test works

Three short steps. No upload, no sign-up.

1. Sing your lowest note

Vocalize on 'aaah' at the lowest pitch you can hold comfortably. Hold the note steady for the full 4 seconds — short or shaky notes hurt accuracy.

2. Sing your highest note

Same setup, but now reach for the highest pitch you can sustain cleanly. Falsetto counts — but only if you can hold it for 3+ seconds without breaking.

3. Read your result

We compute your lowest and highest stable notes from the pitch contour, measure the span in semitones, and match it against the six standard SATB ranges using interval overlap.

Tips for a more accurate result

Warm up first

Hum or do a quick lip-trill scale before testing. Cold vocal cords give you a narrower range than your actual one.

Find a quiet place

Background music, fans, and traffic noise can fool the pitch detector. A quiet room with low reverb works best.

Use 'aaah', not words

An open vowel held steadily gives the cleanest pitch reading. Avoid lyrics, vibrato, or sliding between notes.

Don't push the extremes

If a note feels strained or your voice cracks, it's not part of your healthy range. Only count notes you can hold for the full 4 seconds.

What can you do with your vocal range?

Knowing your range helps you pick songs in the right key, find covers you can actually sing, and track progress over time as you train. If a song you love is just out of reach, you can use our pitch changer to shift any audio up or down without changing the tempo. For karaoke or cover practice, our vocal separator lets you remove the original vocals so you can sing along.

Frequently asked questions

Is my voice uploaded to a server?

No. The entire analysis runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Your microphone audio never leaves your device.

How accurate is the result?

Accuracy depends on a quiet environment and you holding each note steadily. Background noise, vibrato extremes, or breathy notes can introduce ±1 semitone error. For a casual self-check it's reliable; for professional voice classification, see a vocal coach.

Why do I get a different voice type than I expected?

Voice type is determined by the overlap between your range and the standard SATB ranges. If you only tested your speaking-comfortable range you may see a narrower classification — try again after a few warm-up notes.

What's a healthy way to extend my range?

Daily warm-ups, breath support exercises, and a vocal coach are the standard path. If you want to hear what a song sounds like in a different key, try our pitch changer to shift any audio up or down without changing the tempo.

Does falsetto count as part of my range?

Yes, if you can hold it cleanly. The test measures any note you sustain for the full 4 seconds with stable pitch. Cracking, breaking, or breathy falsetto won't register because confidence is too low.

What's the difference between Bass, Baritone, and Tenor?

All three are male voice types but with different center ranges. Bass sits lowest (E2-E4), Baritone is the middle (A2-G4), Tenor is highest (C3-C5). Most untrained male voices fall in the Baritone range. The female equivalents are Alto, Mezzo-Soprano, and Soprano.

Can I use this on mobile?

Yes, modern mobile browsers (Safari on iOS 14.5+, Chrome on Android) support the microphone APIs we use. You'll need to grant microphone permission the first time you start the test.

What if I sing in head voice vs chest voice?

The test doesn't distinguish between vocal registers — it measures the pitches you actually produce. Most singers have a wider range when they include head voice, so feel free to use whichever register lets you hit the note steadily.
