Wondering what your vocal range is? This test finds it in about a minute. Sing and hold your lowest comfortable note, then slide up and hold your highest one. The tester tracks your pitch live, counts only notes you hold steadily, and then shows your range as note names (for example, A2 to E4), the span in semitones and octaves, a piano keyboard with your range highlighted, and the closest match among six voice types from bass to soprano. It is free, needs no sign-up, and runs in your browser; your audio is never uploaded. For a deeper read, the paid AI analysis in the app listens to a recording and describes your comfortable and extended range, stability and repertoire ideas.

Example result

Input

A man with no vocal training takes the test in a quiet bedroom, holding his lowest and highest comfortable notes.

Output

Your range: A2 to F4. Range: 20 semitones, 1.7 octaves. Closest match: Baritone (typical range A2 to A4). How to read it: the bottom note matches the baritone band exactly and the middle of the range sits closest to it as well. The top stops at F4, which is common for untrained male voices before they learn to mix into a higher register, so it may well extend with practice. What to do next: pick songs whose melody stays roughly between B2 and D4 for now, and retest after a few weeks of warmups.

How it works

How Vocal Range Tester works

  1. 01

    Step 1: your lowest note

    Press Start and allow microphone access. Sing the lowest note you can produce comfortably, without growling or pushing, and hold it. The live note name appears as you sing, and a bar fills as you hold.

  2. 02

    Only steady notes count

    A note is recorded once it stays clear and within about half a semitone for roughly a third of a second. Breaths, cracks and quick slides are ignored.

  3. 03

    Step 2: your highest note

    Tap Next and slide up to the highest note you can sing without strain, then hold it. Every steady note you sing during either step widens the range, so you can sweep up and down freely.

  4. 04

    Your range and voice type

    Tap See my range to get your lowest and highest notes, the span in semitones and octaves, a highlighted keyboard, and the voice type whose typical range is closest to yours, weighted mostly by where the middle of your range falls.

Use cases

Who it is for

Choosing karaoke and cover songs

Knowing your top and bottom notes tells you whether a song will fit as written or needs to be transposed a few semitones before you perform it.

Choir auditions and section placement

Get a rough idea of whether you lean toward bass, baritone, tenor, alto, mezzo or soprano before the director hears you, so you know which part to prepare.

Tracking progress from vocal exercises

Retest every few weeks under the same conditions. A top note that climbs by a semitone or two is a concrete sign that your warmups and training are working.

Tips

Get better results

  • Warm up for five to ten minutes first with humming or lip trills; a cold voice will show a smaller range.
  • Sing on an open vowel such as "ah" or "oo" rather than speaking, since the tracker needs a clear, steady tone.
  • Stop at the notes you can sustain comfortably. Straining for a squeak or a vocal fry rumble is not part of your usable range.
  • Test in a quiet room. If you see a "can't hear you" notice, move closer to the microphone or sing a little louder.

Limitations

What it can't tell you

The voice type shown is simply the closest match by pitch range, using typical classical ranges (for example, baritone A2 to A4 and soprano C4 to C6). Range alone does not decide voice type: tone color, where your voice feels most at home, and where it shifts register matter just as much, and a voice teacher can judge those. Phone and laptop microphones can struggle with very low notes, and the test measures only what you sing today, not the range you could develop with training.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vocal Range Tester questions

What is my vocal range?

Your vocal range is the span between the lowest and highest notes you can sing. Take the test above: hold your lowest comfortable note, then your highest, and you will see both notes, the distance between them in semitones and octaves, and the voice type your range sits closest to.

Is this vocal range tester free, and is my audio uploaded?

Yes, the range test is free with no account and no limit on retakes. Pitch detection happens in your browser, and your audio is never uploaded. Only the optional AI analysis inside the app, which is a paid feature, sends a recording to be analyzed.

What is a good vocal range?

There is no single good number. Many untrained singers land somewhere around one and a half to two octaves, and training usually extends that. What matters more is how well you sing within your range: a steady, pleasant tone across an octave and a half beats a wide range full of strained notes.

Can a voice type test tell if I am a tenor or a baritone?

It can tell you which one your range is closest to, and that is a good starting point. Tenors and baritones overlap a lot, though, and teachers also listen to timbre and to where the voice changes register. If your result is close to the boundary, try singing songs written for each voice and see which feels easier.

What does the paid AI analysis add?

The in-app AI analysis listens to an uploaded or recorded clip and writes a report: your classification, lowest and highest notes, the comfortable part of your range versus the extended edges, how stable your notes are, how you compare with standard voice types, and repertoire suggestions. It needs an account and a paid plan.
