Clinical Relevance

Why does this metric matter in a physiological context?

  • Laryngeal Health: A sudden reduction in range can indicate vocal nodule formation or inflammation.
  • Hormonal Changes: Vocal range shifts often accompany puberty, menopause, or testosterone therapy.
  • Classification: Determines Tessitura (comfortable range) vs. absolute physiological limits.

About This Test

Discover Your Voice Type

Understanding your vocal range is the first step in vocal training. This tool uses your microphone and a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm to detect the fundamental frequency (F0) of your voice in real-time.

Common Voice Classifications

  • Soprano: The highest female voice type (C4 – C6).
  • Mezzo-Soprano: The middle female voice type (A3 – A5).
  • Contralto: The lowest female voice type (F3 – F5).
  • Tenor: The highest male voice type (C3 – C5).
  • Baritone: The most common male voice type (A2 – A4).
  • Bass: The lowest male voice type (E2 – E4).

Key Concepts

Fundamental Frequency (F0)
The lowest frequency of a periodic waveform, perceived as the pitch of the voice.
Tessitura
The most comfortable vocal range for a singer, where the voice has the best timbre and is easiest to produce.
FFT (Fast Fourier Transform)
A mathematical algorithm used by this test to convert the microphone's audio signal from time domain to frequency domain to detect pitch.
