      Serhan Sarı Adele can‘t be an alto.. „alto“ is just a role in choir. But I guess you’re talking about the lowest female vocal type „contralto“ - her voice is way too feminine. Contralto‘s sound really androgynous. Adele sounds like a total mezzo.

      Deane Bloem Mariah is clearly uneducated and misleaded by what her vocal fach is... like girl Mariah is not even close to being an alto lol, Mariah does not have the correct tessitura or androgynous tone. Alto isn’t even an accurate term, it’s a contralto and Mariahs voice is far too feminine and high to even be considered a contralto. You don’t have to know much about vocal pedagogy to know Mariah is not a contralto lol.

    • @arianafacts
      @arianafacts 6 лет назад +107

      Deane Bloem Do you even know what you’re talking about? literally none of that made sense. “Alto” is a misconception to refer to a woman’s vocal fach,Alto” refers to the range or notes to be sung and is not exactly a voice type. The term ‘Alto’ is commonly used in choral singing to refer to the vocal parts to be sung by singers doing the Alto section.
      And no, I am not referring to Mariahs “strong head voice” whatsoever. Mariahs low notes are only deep and husky because of her nodules and around Eb3 Mariah uses an unhealthy technique and lowers her larynx.... this note is EASY for a “Alto” and they wouldn’t have to resort to lowering their larynx. Mariah does NOT support these notes and her timbre is not androgynous at all, infact her voice is far too feminine.
      Mariah is a Coloratura Light-Lyric Soprano period. that is factual and point blank obvious, you sound dumb really calling Mariah an alto lol!

    I read in a vocal analysis that only Sohyang is one of the most rare singers that actually can stay in a true soprano's full scale and range . And even without stressing or straining. Her ease is impeccable. Notice how she fully opens her mouth to create lot of space that helps to rebound the sound. Sometime girl dosen't even slides into high notes, just jumps an octave in chest voice. Making me bald again and again.

    • @yureino
      @yureino 6 лет назад +178

      Your sentence doesnt make sense. A soprano’s range is determined by one’s ability to connect passagio from chest-mix-headvoice. A soprano doesn’t necessarily need to be able to belt a B5 using mix voice as there is no requirement for that, a soprano normally only required to sing it using a well supported headvoice B5. Thats how vocal classification is done. Thats being said, so many broadway/ classical singers are classified as true soprano who fully supports a soprano range. Your lack of understanding in vocal pedagogy is very misleading.

    • @resurgingflame
      @resurgingflame 6 лет назад +145

      Songsource an acceptable soprano range among classical is based on general tessitura, which stretched from G3 to C6. The person didn't even said anything about belting or HV. They just said Sohyang is among a few non-operatic soprano out there who can consistently singing in general full soprano range without stressing/straining, regardless if it's belting or not. That's all.

    • @yureino
      @yureino 6 лет назад +52

      Andreanata Noivan nope, thats not what she/ he said. Let me rewrite it for you, ”only sohyang is one of the most rare singers that actually can stay in a true soprano’s full scale and range. And even without stressing or straining.....” she did not mention anything about being non-operatic sopranos. And that being said, lady gaga, beyonce, jojo, lea micheal, Morissette amon, jonalyn viray, ailee, son seung yeon etc are the other pop singers who can sing fully within a soprano’s range (considering they dont belt their upper register instead using their well supported headvoice), who some arent even sopranos (mezzos). And if we were to take her/his words literally, there are many classical or operatic singers who could well sing within a soprano’s full range.

    • @yureino
      @yureino 6 лет назад +27

      Andreanata Noivan and no, the generally acceptable range for a soprano is C4-C6. Sohyang doesnt even support a G3, neither it is within her tessitura.

    I hope that So Hyang is known more for her moving performances rather than her high notes because thats what defines her as an artist, someone who gives her 100% in every performance and her insane belts are usually a result of that.
    Too many people mistake her for a belting maniac after watching these clips, what they don't realize is that she is almost belting her heart out during these momemts
    It's the same as taking a sentence out of its context and interpreting it literally which often gives a whole different meaning to it.
    Consider it as doing a favor to a fellow human being and please go through her videos first before jumping to conclusions

      Like sure, High notes are a signature of hers, and her fanbase really likes them. But when it comes to reality, she thrives in creating dramatic performances, not only vocally but also with the orchestra. Music terms are slipping my head right now, but she helps organise the orchestra.

    Guys, this video shows the difference between Contralto, Mezzo Soprano and Soprano. Btw there are singers who can sing comfortably in more than one vocal type: an example could be Beyoncé who can support both high and low notes. It's just about how comfortable the singers are in their vocal range. Hope you enjoy the video! :)

    Contralto sounds androgynous (it sounds Male at first, but something is "off") in the low register, and cavernous in the middle register; with the unique ability to crescendo in middle register. The flip from low register into "head voice" mirrors the Male Bass voice, right around F4#. The Contralto "head voice" tends to be overly bright, leading less experienced (or lazy) teachers to teach a true Contralto as a Soprano.
    I am so proud to share this rare sisterhood with my fellow Contralto's.

    Here's the standard vocal ranges:
    Alto: C#3 to F#5(passagio:Bb4 )
    Mezzo: E3 to A5(passagio:C5 )
    Soprano: G3 to C#6(passagio:E5 )
    Edit: I'm writing this for some people who can't use their brain........ We say that tenors can sing upto E5, it doesn't mean that it's all chest voice!! We know that Tenors usually get fully into the mixed register near C5/C#5....... Similarly there's a limit to which these voices can take their strong chest voice to......... Beyond that they'll have to mix(just like any male voice type)
    Chest limits:
    Soprano: G#5(or sometimes A5)
    Mezzo: F5(or sometimes F#5)
    Alto: Eb5(or sometimes E5)
