Shouting/screaming and singing are two different things. This doesn’t make them a Tenor or Baritone. Thurl Ravenscroft is a Basso Profundo/ Deep Bass. Just because he reaches upper 4th octave notes when he’s yelling doesn’t make him ANY less of a Bass. As a Basso Profouno/ Deep Bass voice myself, it’s not about hitting high or low notes. It’s about the quality of the sound of your voice.
That is true that it's a combination of things that determines voice type. The one thing I do have some slight uncertainty about is calling Ravenscroft a low bass. I think you're likely right about him being a basso profondo, I've heard rumors from some people that he classically trained as a basso cantante. I tried finding the interview where Thurl Ravenscroft said it about his own voice but couldn't find it.
