CONTRALTO SHOUT OUTS!!!!! I'm a contralto as well. My range is F2-F5 -- freakish, I know! I use to be so ashamed of my voice in undergrad and so frustrated with my voice in graduate school. I dropped out of grad school and took a 13 year hiatus from performing and taught music and chorus in private school and college. I decided to go back to graduate school to finish my masters, and it was there that I fell in love and appreciated my voice type. Now, I'm preparing to go get my Doctor of Musical Arts. I love that I'm a rare bird! I can kind of carve my own path when it comes to being a recitalist.
+Jackie Hamilton I would kill to be a contralto. I'm a mezzo soprano which is pretty average. Contraltos sound so rich and beautiful...I think this lady takes it a little too far; but even so, I love contralto.
Jackie Hamilton do you have any recordings? I'd love to hear your singing! I am big fan of LOW voices, both male and female! I just subscribed to your channel, but no music there!
My own range is from Ab2 till F5 but have never trained voice... maybe I should consider taking lessons even at my older age now, no idea can it be developed etc?
This woman can sing, she sings because she is meant to sing and does not sink in, she does not die, she is Russian by Art and almost by Spirit, sings perfection and liberty tears away the Russian soul.
Yes, there’s only one other voice like this that I’ve heard, which is Zarah Leander. My voice is also in the Contralto Profondo range (G2 to A5, but fullest sounding in the C3 to G5 range)
Here’s a lovely contralto voice as well. ruclips.net/video/ZSBt_gK9Jbk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/B-j8ZQoTgvg/видео.html And Ewa Podles is a vocal freak ruclips.net/video/abhDwT04rrA/видео.html
#IngridCote Lol, listen to me and you'll find another one XD!!!! I need help to classify what kind of contralto i am i'm really curious if i'm profondo too.
@@darrianmcneil3481 Yeah when you listen closely enough pretty much all contraltos found feminine fundamentally. It just takes careful listening to hear it.
ugh wow she is so amazing! :) as a lyric coloratura soprano that has the higher range naturally, i envy and deeply admire contraltos... gosh they are just so great
Eu sou contralto, e tenho uma voz grave como a dela... tem gente que acha que a minha voz é de homem. (falam que pareço um homem cantando). Mas a professora de canto falou que minha voz é especial, e que é raro alguém cantar como eu canto. Essa cantora me fez chorar, eu não entendi o que ela cantou, mas ela passou uma emoção forte! E é a primeira vez que ouço uma contralto cantando com violinos... lindo!
@@80-d28 I'm glad to have finally found someone who understands what it's like to have a voice which is in the same vocal range and timbre of a young teenage guy. I sound like a 13-year old baritone. And you are shorter too, I am short as well. I can reach down to A2 in chest voice but I have a bass extension and can phonate down to E2 and rasp down to C#2. For adult vocal ranges I tested myself and I'm in between counter-tenor and low tenor. I describe myself as half-tenor, half-bass. I can sing the third octave with tenor brightness, and once I hit F#2 I sound like a bass. I don't have the voice quality of a contralto, and not even the voice quality of a contralto profundo. That lady's voice is undoubtedly lovely and captivating, but I don't feel contralto describes my voice. And how you're describing your voice I don't think contralto describes your voice either.
@@80-d28 That's amazing you can sing in full chest voice until F2 and that you have a powerful G2. And you singing up to G5 and vocalizing down to A1, simply wow. I can assure you that I'm not a contralto. I have both the vocal range and timbre of a 13-year old baritone. My chest voice breaks at about E4, I have a weak G4 in mid voice and while I can strain up to G5, it sounds awful. My voice cracks in the fourth octave. My speaking voice is mostly in the high male range. That is great you're proud of being a contralto.
I love hearing females that can really sing low. Lisa Gerrard has very unique vocals too and she can project her vocals from the lower chest register range to a high head voice almost piercing register.
No, I don't think there is. Lower than this voice is a male voice. Standart contralto voice is higher than this on the video. On the video it's a very deep type of contralto and is very rare. It is something like basso profundo - the lowest bass in men.
A true basement contralto--she handles G2 with aplomb. I think the comparisons with Sonia Prina are on the mark--this is the same kind of voice (I have heard Prina down to F#2, although she loses power down there. Baranova may have a slightly deeper voice.) It would be interesting to hear this voice in the classical repertory (an Urlicht, perhaps?)
I think I'm a mezzo. My vocal range is D3-D5. The D3 doesn't sound that good and after D5 it sounds like I'm yelling or something. My voice doesn't sound very dark plus I struggle a lot with high notes. I wish I was soprano or contralto.
You have to learn to love what you have and develop it. Sutherland started as a mezzo and worked up to coloratura soprano. Stutzmann wanted to be a soprano but learned to accept and live with her rare contralto voice and by working on it developed terrific agility and control.
@TheMamelie She has several albums as far as I remember....If you want to listen to her other songs you can easily find then in the internet and download them.
This is a dramatic contralto they are very rare they sound androgynous her voice sound close to a man but I can still tell it's a woman by listening hard. It's all about timbre
I'm a contralto (Idk which type); Bb2-D5... and I become a baritone when I get sick or if I scream... I wish I could have that voice without damage it...
@toni7777ful Really? I don't know why, but it seems that Russia is a country of low voices (you know, the greatest basso profondos are there), and this woman backs up my theory, she's wondrous I'm sure you'd like to listen to Ewa Podles (she could go down to Bb2) and the goddess Yma Sumac (her range was E2-E7) she was WONDROUS; both of them sound as masculine as Галина, these 3 ladies are unique! Thank you for sharing!!
I wouldn't call Yma Sumac a contralto, and I doubt she's even a mezzo-soprano. Probably some form of lower soprano. Even though I probably agree with you on Ewa Podles' voice that she was likely a contralto, even she is debatable.
Oh alot of people say her voice sound androgynous not fully like a man they say they can still tell it's a woman voice even though she sound borderline like a male high tenor
There are a lot of her songson the site" в контакте". You only have to write there - поиск(search) - аудиозаписи(audio) - Галина Баранова. It will lead you to plenty of her songs....Good luck!
@aussiechickdiana Yes, her voice is special. I like deep female voices....I found GB on your chanel. I have this song on the disk because I downloaded a lot of her songs in the mp3 format.)))
Yes she is amazing! This would be the middleweight coloratura type contralto. They've got the flexibility and agility in the upper register that I just don't have I'm kind of the scary lower type in my upper notes get really shrill if I don't mind my registration shifts and try taking chest up too high..
C2 is a trophy note even for most basses--I would be rather surprised if Cher could hit that note in simple modal (or does she use kargyraa? She could do it that way if she could muster a C3 drive tone) Clara Butt (one of history's great power voices) was reputed to sing down to E2 in concert and lower(?) in practice sessions.

@@victoriataylor5584 please reread I never said she was a contralto I just said Mariah Carey can go low to F2 and still sound female.

This woman voice here I had to at least listen to 3 x because I'm feeling the song to tell she a woman . She sound close to.s male tenor opera singer yet she sound like a matronly woman . Dramatic contralto sound more androgynous (in-between man and woman) than the coloratura Contralto and lyric contralto.

YT won't let me embed the link, but look for the video under "Sonia Prina Contralto Handel Lotario"; that should give you the one. The note is about 2 minutes in. I reckoned it from a base 440 reference tool, so the nominal note designation may be something else. But it seems to be F#2 base 440.

For people who like this song - check out Zarah Leander - another great dramatic contralto. This is also very much in my range (a shameless plug to see my singing videos too!)
It's so pity to say but she have passed away on 2th of this February in a hospital after a long disease... In this May she would turn her 80 birthday if...
Really like Sonia Prina too :) Have you heard her? For me, I struggle with high notes terribly. Can probably give a better G2 than anything near the 5th octave and I do try -.- (A2-A4 is what I stick to normally, I sing tenor2 but I'd much prefer not to categorized by any male vocal types!) God made us all different and I love singing :) Just wish I was better at it!
Seikus Arus si es asi eres una contralto dramatica de fantasticos graves (quizas alguna cuerda mas gruesa que lo comun) y seguramente tengas ademas muy rica sonoridad, color y calidez ademas de un mayor peso vocal, espero que cultives esa interesante voz, saludos y suerte.
Seikus Arus, cómo haces para llegar a esas notas? yo llego hasta un fa bastante grave,pero no tanto como Galina.Tengo pocas tecnicas de canto.Espero tu respuesta.Saludos
I can only make a little sound on G2. C3 is alright to me. it's also hard for me to take D5....I heard Sonia Prina. A very good opera singer but her voice seems to me a bit lighter than this one.
I will say androgynous not truly a man I can still tell she s lady if you listen hard enough she got some male tenor quality but if you listen hard she also got a deep feminine matronly voice.
Dramatic doesn't really refer to tessitura. Its more to do with timbre and volume. None the less her voice is unusually dark. I wonder if there is a reason Russian contraltos and basses tend to sing at a lower register then, lets say, English ones. mmm.
I think many women nowadays have a tendency to lament being in the lower ranges, perhaps they associate upper ranges with... greater feminism. As a man though, I absolutely prefer lower ranged/deeper voices in women.
Replay it over and over I can still tell it's a woman even though she is a dramatic contralto her timbre is androgynous but it's about timbre not pitch per'se . There are women that can go low as her or as men and still not sound androgynous or not a man . Instead of listening to pitches in voices listen to timbre
I disagree. I don't think her voice is masculine at all. If one listens carefully, one can tell the timbre is still vastly different than that of a man's timbre. She just is able to sing low.
I'm a mere G2 to C6 (C6 after a lot of warming up.) but am a lot more comfortable in the lower range. I'm singing this an octave lower than the singer. The high notes on this hurt my throat.
Perhaps then this shows that you shouldn't be singing with your 'throat'. Vocal freedom is supported by the diaphragm and an open throat. Tight throats indicate a technical training still to be understood and practised. Looking at your range, it will be well you do full-octave warm-ups rather than the usual half-tones most mortals are put through. Full-octave warm-ups free your voice and you will not end up exhausted by the end of it.
Most people favor the higher female voice ranges, but I love the contralto voice. It's so unique and soothing.
Heartbreaking!
@@frogmouth what's heartbreaking?
More like imposing and sultry. Like the sound of a saxophone.
Or cello.
Dramatic Contralto voice is very rare

Wow I thought she could be almost a tenor! I could have easily confused her for a dude!
wow - it's amazing
she really sounds like a man
i would not differ so easily if not for the text and photo
she's wonderful - full of soul and passion
Yes, she is very androgynous.
I will say androgynous not truly a man I can still tell she s lady if you listen hard enough she got some male tenor quality but if you listen hard she also got a deep feminine matronly voice.
Dramatic doesn't really refer to tessitura. Its more to do with timbre and volume. None the less her voice is unusually dark. I wonder if there is a reason Russian contraltos and basses tend to sing at a lower register then, lets say, English ones. mmm.
what's the name of the song?
I think many women nowadays have a tendency to lament being in the lower ranges, perhaps they associate upper ranges with... greater feminism. As a man though, I absolutely prefer lower ranged/deeper voices in women.
PFG666 Really? Why? Just wandering lol I have deep voice too do you think it is more feminine?
It sounds like a barytenor!
Replay it over and over I can still tell it's a woman even though she is a dramatic contralto her timbre is androgynous but it's about timbre not pitch per'se . There are women that can go low as her or as men and still not sound androgynous or not a man . Instead of listening to pitches in voices listen to timbre
I disagree. I don't think her voice is masculine at all. If one listens carefully, one can tell the timbre is still vastly different than that of a man's timbre. She just is able to sing low.
You can indeed hear a woman when listening closely enough but at first listen it can sound masculine to the untrained ear.
Contralto does not just mean "dark" ... One also needs to get on the treble .... Does she sing something else?

Por favor podrían subir más audio vídeos de la señora Gallina Baranova? Saludos desde Argentina.
Similar voice to Violetta Villas (polish singer).
Galina Baranova
Female baritone.
I'm a mere G2 to C6 (C6 after a lot of warming up.) but am a lot more comfortable in the lower range. I'm singing this an octave lower than the singer. The high notes on this hurt my throat.
me too
Perhaps then this shows that you shouldn't be singing with your 'throat'. Vocal freedom is supported by the diaphragm and an open throat. Tight throats indicate a technical training still to be understood and practised. Looking at your range, it will be well you do full-octave warm-ups rather than the usual half-tones most mortals are put through. Full-octave warm-ups free your voice and you will not end up exhausted by the end of it.
@luispaulinotico Hi Luis, usted debria escuchar me si le gusta a los boz de contralto ;-)
What song is this?
