Voice Type Test
- 1 Comfortable low
- 2 Comfortable high
- 3 Your range
Use one clear sound in a quiet room. Your audio stays in this browser.
Warm up gently. Save only notes you can repeat comfortably; stop if singing feels strained.
Reference ranges overlap. These comparisons describe note-range similarity, not a definitive voice classification, probability or assessment of tessitura and tone.
Settings & measurement notes
Microphone input is analyzed in memory; audio is never recorded or uploaded by this plugin. Stopping, hiding or leaving the page releases the microphone. Reference tones temporarily pause analysis.
Pitch estimates can be affected by breathy or irregular sounds, harmonics and microphone processing. This is a single-note tool, not a medical or professional voice assessment.
A4 defaults to 440 Hz. One octave doubles frequency; one semitone is 1/12 of an octave. The detector uses the McLeod pitch method with clarity and stable-note filtering.

Compare your comfortable singing endpoints with approximate voice-range references. The Voice Type Test accepts manually selected low and high notes and also offers microphone endpoint capture. It shows range distance and reference similarities, helping you explore the question “what voice type am I?” without treating a two-note result as a final classification.
Begin with notes you can repeat comfortably
- Choose your lowest comfortable note and its octave.
- Choose your highest comfortable note and octave.
- Use reference playback if you need help locating either pitch.
- Show the range and inspect the comparison results.
- If you prefer microphone capture, use the guided low-then-high workflow and verify each endpoint.
Manual entry describes your choices. It does not listen to or confirm those notes. If you are uncertain about an endpoint, check it with the Pitch Detector before using it to interpret your range.
When capturing with a microphone, the stable-note indicator helps avoid brief spikes. You still decide whether the tone felt comfortable and repeatable. Stop rather than forcing a note to obtain a more dramatic result.
What the reference comparison can tell you
The tool compares the selected interval with six approximate reference spans: bass, baritone, tenor, alto, mezzo-soprano and soprano. Similarity reflects note-range overlap and endpoint relationships. It is not a probability that you belong to a category.
Reference spans overlap, so more than one label can be plausible from endpoints alone. A range extending beyond one reference does not automatically make that reference wrong, and matching it does not establish every other feature of the voice.
Use the comparison to ask more specific questions: where does a melody sit comfortably, which notes become tiring and where do register transitions occur? Those observations are more useful than trying to make one result settle your musical identity.
Range and tessitura answer different questions
Total range is the interval between chosen low and high endpoints. Tessitura is the region in which a singer can work comfortably and effectively through a piece. A song can stay inside your extreme range yet spend too long near one difficult edge.
Imagine two singers who both enter A2–A4. The tool calculates the same 24-semitone span for each. It has no information about which singer finds sustained upper phrases comfortable, how each voice changes register or what tone is appropriate to a particular part.
That is why a range-only comparison should support discussion with a qualified singing teacher rather than replace listening and practical work. The tool does not assess resonance, passaggio, stamina, projection or repertoire suitability as a whole.
Keep speaking voice separate from singing classification
A low speaking median can be interesting, but it is not a direct voice-type result. Speech uses task-dependent intonation and only part of a person’s available pitch behavior. Speaking quietly or trying to sound deeper can also change the sample without establishing a singing category.
The Voice Hz Test summarizes a short speaking or held-note sample. It does not replace the deliberate endpoint process used here. Likewise, pitch alone does not determine gender, maturity, personality or vocal health.
Check register and octave mistakes
A pitch detector may track an upper harmonic or miss an irregular fundamental. If the result suggests a sudden octave leap that you did not intend, repeat the note and compare it with a reference. Do not retain a surprising extreme solely because it produces a wider span.
Record how you produced an endpoint when that matters to your own practice. A briefly reached falsetto or a very low irregular sound does not automatically show where a full song is comfortable. This tool does not recognize or classify your register technique.
The Vocal Range Test is the focused place to repeat the low-and-high capture process. For individual singing notes, the Singing Note Detector gives a live pitch reference.
Make the result useful for choosing music
Compare a song’s actual melody with your repeatable notes and comfortable middle region. Check sustained passages as well as the highest note. If a melody strains one area, a different key or arrangement may matter more than whether its advertised voice label matches your result.
Save the entered endpoints and calculation origin with Copy or CSV. Keep A4 consistent if you compare frequency values across sessions. An ordinary day-to-day difference in the test does not by itself prove a permanent change in voice type.
Microphone input is analyzed in browser memory, without this plugin recording or uploading it. Manual mode needs no microphone access. Neither mode supplies a medical assessment or a professional audition decision.
Frequently asked questions
Can this tell me for certain whether I am a tenor or baritone?
No. It compares endpoint ranges with approximate references. A fuller classification needs context, listening and more than extreme notes.
Why do several reference types look similar?
The ranges overlap and endpoints do not capture tessitura or tone. More than one comparison can therefore be relevant.
Does the test classify my speaking voice?
It is built around singing endpoints. A speech-frequency summary answers a different question and should not be converted directly into a singing category.
Will the result limit what songs I can sing?
It should not be used as a fixed restriction. Check the song’s tessitura, key, technique and comfort rather than relying only on a label.
