Are YOU a Baritone Voice: Vocal Range and Definition |

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Calling all Baritones! The Baritone Voice type has a beautiful rich timbre that Tenors like me can only dream of. Why is it then that so many men with a baritone voice spend their time wishing they could sing high like Tenors?
Surely there’s more to being a great singer than uber-high notes. Well, there is, and this video is all about getting the most out of the Baritone voice.

You are the opposite of me. :) I am a baritone and I envy tenors. Now I hear you saying that you envy baritones :D. We all want to be what we aren't. It's a big relief seeing this video.
yes, that's true.
I'm a baritone and I envy basses lol. Just the thought of being able to sing an D1 chest and knowing i'll probably never going to reach that is crushing tbh
René Müller while me a high baritone envy baritone...i don't really prefer light voice so its a bit dissapointing but its okay..its not as bad as i thought lol😂
I agree with all of you. My 3 favorite singers are, a tenor, a baritone and a bass baritone. But of the 3, the tenor is the most successful. That's what people look at.
René Müller I can do both but I have to use harmonics for baritone range. I’m always jealous of natural baritones
Lmao I’m a baritone and I’m tryna get my voice lower 😂
Majestic maniac subharmonics
Warren Pellacani yeah I know those but that was before I knew your chest voice had a max low but lucky I’m not done with puberty so it keeps getting lower
same
My voice is so high that I sing Alto even though I'm a guy. My range is (Eb)E3-F5(Gb5)
@@spicywatermelon343 pff, high pitched fools.
people envying other people being baritone/tenor while im here having a voice of a dying pig
I guess you're destined for grindcore
Lol!!!!! :
In my head, I sound exactly like who I'm singing along to
@@pineapplefarmer7352 lol beat me to it 🤘🎶
LMAO samee
I’m a baritone, my father’s a bass. The struggle I had to face was huge, till I learnt that Jim Morrison was a baritone too! I’m proud of myself!
isaac fiedler I think your uniqueness makes you stronger, I adore the fact that your family sings and has such various ranges, yours is unique, find the timbre that requires as less effort as possible and you’ll be a blessing! That’s what my dad always tell me! To always sing with my “speaking” voice!
yeeessssss, Jim is one of my vocal idols, I am also a baritone
Jim Morrison is a Bari- tenor. Baritone with huge extended range
Lots of successful baritones, just work on stretching the range bro. Good luck.
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457 He's a baritone.
as a low baritone myself i remember when I believed in the curse of the baritone until I stumbled upon a vocal coach who actually teaches range extendation so now I can hit notes in the fifth octave without falsetto
I'm all ears
@@misterbobby8913 mixed voice
I don't think their is such thing as low baritone . You should focus on hitting E4 , F4 and if you can hit those with some practice , then congrats , you are a baritone with a nice range . It's just that you did not go to your full potential
@@KartikSharma-so1pz unfortunately some of us still get called a baritone and I can sing a G1. 😆
@@christianhenry4173 bruh 💀💀 you are a bass then
The highest note any singer can do, bass, baritone or tenor, will sound amazing to the listener, if it's performed well. High notes are relative to the voice type anyway. A bass - who would sing in lower keys/sing lower songs - sounds just as amazing belting an E4 or F4 as a tenor - who, relative to his voice type, sings in higher keys/higher songs - belting a B4 or C5. And for those who are kind of in between the baritone and tenor range (like me, although I would classify myself as a 'tenor in training'): A4 and Bb4 sound just as amazing. It's really all relative :D
If tenor belts B4 or C5 and bass belts E4 or F4 then baritone is G4 or Ab4 which could mean bass - baritone belts Gb4 or G4, high baritone belts A4 or Bb4, low tenor belts Bb4 or B4, and high tenor belts C5 or D5 or possibly above. I possibly would fall into singing high baritone (B2 - B4) to high tenor (E3 - E5) in my full range and tenor (C3 - C5) in tessitura.
Basses top out at E4, bass baritone F4, baritone G4, high baritone A4, tenor B4-C5, high tenor C#5 and above. That's what I've heard at least. If you can belt a B4, then you're an obvious tenor.
It really isn't :D
+Tom Geraci Basses definitely don't top out at E4, that's just commonly where most basses belts top out and are at the best. Some freakish basses can go up to F#4's and sometimes even G4's.
mine voice spinto tessitura
i'm kind of a bass with nasally tone... the worst of both worlds XD
Arti try singing while plugging your nose
Arti try country
Haha same but my low note e2 isnt even that low
You should try elvis pricely songs
Bingo, welcome to our happy little family.... and Im sorry. Lol
Thank you! I know I have a good voice but my tone doesn't fit the cool songs I like and enjoy. I always thought I was stuck between octaves, reaching some higher notes and some lower. Your positive attitude and approach have answered a question I didn't know I had. Now that I wont be wasting time on trying to change physical restrictions I can focus on making my own music. Thank you for your guidance!
I had bigger problem - my damn baritone voice doesn't fit to songs even i wrote, it doesn't sound like it shoud be, no matter how i try. So i chose only right decision - i stopped torture myself and others and just ended with singing after 20 years of semi-professional career . And you know what - it realy helps!
@James Smith All you have to do is to train your vocal cord to be more flexible. When you're singing, imagine that you move your vocal cord like you move your mouth. IMHO
There is so much truth in this video. I am a baritone and i adjust the keys to the songs whenever needed for my gigs. Works everytime! And people are pleased just the same. Thank you for this!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Fitzgerald Galenzoga. Thanks for watching.
I always sing female songs an octave lower!
It’s taken me forever to start doing that. Moving songs into spots where you can represent them best is such a good idea.
@@chrislestermusic exactly! we have different ranges but that should not stop us from expressing this form of art. We color them notes differently. :)
I'm really glad I found this video. I'd been working so hard to sing like a tenor and it's been so frustrating. I had a eureka moment today when I was performing and I decided to play a Johnny Cash song and it felt so comfortable and I got compliments. I realized i really need to start picking songs or transposing songs to fit my deeper voice. It also explains why I have an easier time singing my songs. I have been writing them, albeit unknowingly, to fit my range!
I’m fine with being a baritone, it’s just annoying that like 90% of singers in pop are tenors, so I can’t really sing a lot of the music that I like
you can. Just change the key ;)
You can just take it 3 to 4 keys down hit the notes with more masculinity and your superpower as a baritone will shine depending on the kind of bari you are it will shine between B3 to F#4 hope this helps! Bari on my friend!
Oh I love this video!! Being over 6ft, I have a deeper voice than some singers but spent years struggling in the tenor range. On my first lesson with my primary vocal coach and mentor, he asked me to sing and play something on the piano. I played a jazz standard. I was enamoured of Chet Baker at the time. He stopped me after two bars and said. “I might be an old queen darling but I certainly don’t sing like one. Let’s take all that down a minor third shall we?” Years of expensive tuition and frustration no other teacher had ever pointed out the obvious. In jazz the baritone crooner has more of a place than rock. Eg Sinatra Bubble Bing et al to name a few. From that seminal moment I was on my way.
Keep up the great intelligently researched superb videos mate!
Yours in constant collegial admiration,
Dr Dorian Mode
I don’t think height/physical size has a particularly strong correlation with voice since I’m 5’5” and have a fairly deep baritone voice.
Sure there are exceptions to the rule. One of my students - Liam Burrows - is tiny and he has a deep baritone voice. Moreover, Sinatra wasn't that tall. But generally speaking... @@thecheeseman31415
@@ModeDorian can relate, im 6'2 and overall I have a deep voice. Gotta brighten it up at times, specially when doing runs.
I just want to say Dr. Dan's channel is the best channel for learning everything about singing. Hands Down.
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!
I'm a Baritone and I envy Tenors because people are impressed with high notes these days.
Edit:
Mmmmm... No. People have always been impressed with high notes, not just these days. So I really envy Tenors. Most songs I like are made and sang by Tenors or Sopranos and so trying to sing them is a pain. 😟
So I really REALLY wish I was born a Tenor. I could impress everyone around me effortlessly. I just wasn't lucky enough. 😿
I feel the exacttt same way
Very, very good program. It’s all about the timbre, the color of your voice that determines your vocal category. If you force your voice to get lower, you’ll probably damage what you have. If you encounter a teacher or coach that says that can be done.....run. Now, I’ve heard many singers that are singing out of category.....
lol my timbre is that of a really light tenor but I struggle G4 and above
I'm a baritone and I really idolized Scott Hoying🤣
You and i are the same😂
Nah he's master of riff n runs also have a solid upper range
The same lol🤣
@@aelvey Yup. His lower range is nice
Same actually! I really see myself in him! 🤩
I bumped into your video by googling "Bob Seger voice range" and man, this is just what I needed! Obviously I'm a baritone myself, but most of my favorite music tends to have tenors as lead vocalists. Also, the songs that fellow blues / rock / metal musician like to play are often tenor high stuff. Unless you don't get the things you're saying in this video, it can be hard and depressing even for a vocalist with lower voice to keep up with other players. Especially if the others don't realize the biological and physiological aspects of singing. So, thank you Dan for these kinds and encouraging words. I will most definitely start learning to embrace my own voice!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Tuomas Hirvonen. Thanks for watching.
Greg Lake from ELP, Matt Barlow from Iced Earth and Mike Patton are 3 of my favourite rock singers of all time who are baritones with great range. Check them out, you might like them.
I am soo glad I found this video. I was soo lost thinking that my voice wasn't good enough just because I couldn't sing some of the best songs of my favorite artists.
I am writing my own songs and and the advice u gave in your video really gave me that push I needed to believe and have some confidence in myself. So thank you Dr. Dan
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Jeevan Jibu. Thanks for watching.
I used to hate my voice being a baritone and always wanted to be a tenor. But- I realized my range goes from E2 all the way to A#5, and I learned distortion over time as well as boomy vocal techniques, resulting in me loving my voice. Really high notes are cool, but I wouldn’t trade my vocal placement for the world
Baritones are really good too.
I wanted to be a baritone. However, I’ve learned how to accept my tenor voice.
I envy the hell out of tenors.
Me the bass. 😏
@@rafaelrandom500 I'm a tenor l envy you!
@@arnelflorvillarico2016 shut TF up
LOL Same (i'm a baritone)
You all need to realize. Even if you are a tenor, you aren't gonna come out of the gate with no training being able to hit Bb4 or C5 effortlessly. That's not realistic.
Interesting
Truth. Baritone here C#2-C#5 I used to struggle with F#4 now it’s a very easy note…
I'm one of these guys who wanted to sing like a tenor. That was torture for my voice :)
Just found this video and I recently found out I'm a baritone. My whole life I went around thinking I was a tenor because I always felt my voice had a high pitch. I was categorized as a bass/baritone when I was forced to join a chorus in elementary, but thought it was just cause I half-assed the mandatory audition. 20+ years later and I guess the instructor knew my voice better than me lol
I guess I gotta go apologize to everyone for trying to belt out all those high notes during car karaoke.
I’m definitely in the same boat as most baritones other than the fact that my head voice goes up extremely high on a good day.
My full range is: F2-B4-E6
My supported range is: B2-F4-C6
Other than my head voice (which I can only do Sustained notes in...I can’t sing words in it without sounding like a 5 y/o impersonating a female opera singer), I often find myself dissatisfied with not being able to hit the high notes that most modern male singers hit.
Thank you for this video! I absolutely hate when people range shame others and this video helped me realize that it’s ok to not sing high.
I'm a baritone with a pretty low voice and I've never understood why some want to become tenors. Being a baritone is awesome! Especially, if you have a low, masculine type of baritone voice, you stand out from the rest...I'm proud to be a baritone!
Song choice is key... some songs are simply just not made for baritones and vice versa in the other direction.
This is very encouraging. THANK YOU so much for this video! As a baritone, many times I've felt underwhelmed for not being able to get to those notes... so I just stopped trying to do it, and focus on singing as best as possible within my range, I still need to work a lot but it feels so much better and more natural. In fact many artists I consider amazing singers never leave their range.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and your outlook on vocals. You're spot on! I've spent most of my life studying all forms/genres of music. I admire others like yourself, who have a clear open mind/understanding of what music/art is. From playing in concert/jazz band, to playing in bands w/different styles (metal/rock/industrial/alternative), and college for music production. I learned much from classically trained musicians. While technically skilled and precise playing/singing/composing; many lacked what you keyed in on, about (paraphrasing) making it work for them/the piece (setting aside theory/set standards and allowing timing/tonality to make it come together). I had to take advanced music comp twice, because my first professor wanted me to compose original harmonies/accompaniments for classical pieces, and wouldn't accept me adding unconventional notes/patterns along w/the set standard for musical notation. Obviously since there are a few musicians/bands, famous for the ability to pull it off and are considered musical geniuses by peers. Then not only does it work, but it defines what makes music a true artform. The ability to warp/redefine genres and create endless possibilities of sounds. I was blessed that my second professor shared your understanding and had a real appreciation for what I could create. Nothing unique and special is birthed from sticking to what's already been done a million times. Music is meant to break the monotony that can become life; not to become the soundtrack for it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Dwain Kindelberger II. Thanks for watching.
I think I can relate to both sides of this story: Your music professor # 1 wanted you to experience and hone in on the "old" masters, and see how the classical compositions were developed. Then, professor # 2, on the other hand, just let you skip this part and go straight to what you like to do. I think it has value to play around and learn the traditional ways first, to have a solid base. After that, one can go off and do the free style "look-what-I- can-do-with-that!" part, which is of course the more exciting part of the story! I hope we get to hear from you, being famous and such, literally! Good luck.
My highest vocal range is C5 (head voice)
My lowest vocal range is starting from less than F2 (chest voice)
My comfortable vocal range is starting from C3-B3, C4-G4... I think I am Baritone but still not sure😁
I'm so glad that there are capable people making quality videos on these topics for free!
Agree 100% I'm a proud bass C2-Ab5 is my range. No shame. All sorts of colour to my voice. One should not feel limited by where they fall. You can ALWAYS grow from there...
Great vid!!
MrMak2121 my falsetto is to E6, what is your falsetto?
Bass sounds the best. Very masculine and extremely powerful.
I'm a baritone and I'm often told I have one of the deepest baritone voice that they heard. Often I'm told to I should try to raise my voice and that it is to deep. Than others just love this deep voice. I'm happy with it and I will never try to change it
It's great that you're happy with your deep baritone voice. Embrace your unique sound, and remember that preferences are subjective. Focus on refining your technique and using your voice effectively. Confidence in your voice can lead to success in singing and life.
I love the sweet, smooth and masculine quality of the lyric Baritone such as Josef Salvat or Seth MacFarlane. Very soothing. I am a Contralto and l know that in early history low female voices Mezzo-sopranos and contraltos were all in the same pool and called the same thing, Alto
I love mezzos and contraltos
This teacher is very balanced and honest with a hint of humour 😉
I get empowered everytime you tell us to be unique! Thank you very much again Dr. Dan! :D
I owe you a lot in my development as a singer! God bless Dr. Dan! More Power! 😁😉😃
[as a tear slides down my cheek] Thank you, Dr. Dan.
Sincerely,
A Baritone that has longed hit the same notes as Geddy Lee.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Ridgerunner2112. Thanks for watching.

Haha! I'm glad you enjoyed the video Ajay Negiii. Thanks for watching.
@@DrDanRobinson 😄
Man needs to listen to Sisters of Mercy, Marian. DEEP baritone in that, and then even with This Corrosion he sings up higher but still baritone. Thanks for the lesson!
I think alot of the voice type envy that some baritones and basses have of tenors is because alot of lead roles in musicals and pop songs are in a tenor range, the exceptions probably being gospel, romance, and country.
That, and often baritones and basses often get relegated to mostly speaking roles for audiobooks or radio.
I've been told more that I'd have a great voice for radio than I have for singing... recently though, that's been changing thanks to some karaoke junkies I sing with on Smule.
Cool, I am also on smule.
This is great advice. The only thing is that my whole deal is that I sing karaoke at a bar most days out of the week, lol. It's important that I find songs within my range so I don't have to keep repeating the same songs over and over.
I wish I had seen this years ago. Would have saved me a lot of time! lol
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Joshua Green. Thanks for watching.
Hey dan if u want to get a rich tone all you have to do is lower your larynx when you sing. I don't see why you would like a rich tone, I think high voices sound much more unique and more pleasing to listen to than a deep voice
Ink King I know right
Ink King well everyone have their opinion and different taste..some people like high and light voice and some people like dark and low voice..i prefer dark and heavy voice than light voice
The beauty of original music is that labels don't matter that much! Writing original music is scary but so rewarding
Completely agree, Joe-Alex.
This video really help me because I’m a baritone singer. Most of the time I’m try to find the high note on my voice but I forget the uniqueness of it. Now, I had to find it in my voice and not focus on the range
Amansah, I think you'll also enjoy the following videos about finding your voice -ruclips.net/video/GnGIJ1md444/видео.html
I love being a bass baritone, with the lower end especially. I can go from D2 up to C6 (surprised myself with that one...)
It's helped with the local choirs, especially our local Christmas scratch choir, to be able to support them.
My vocal type: Baritone (more on the higher side)
Vocal range: E2-Bb4 (G5 my highest in head voice)
Supported range: F2-G4 (E5 my highest comfortable head voice note), nowadays Ab4 (and F#5 in head voice) is within my supported range as well
Is that right Dr. Dan?
Sounds 'bout right!
Very similar to my range! Though your support range is superior to mine.
Bari-tenor
@@user-fc2cg3jp6e Yeah you can say that, although I prefer the term 'higher baritone' though. I think if I train further I can be a lower tenor.
I believe I am a baritone and I was born female. I can easily sing Jim Morrison songs and Dean Martin and Sinatra
Own it Dane. There is something wonderful about the low female timbre!
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials
I love low female voices. They’re so enchanting.
You're probably contralto
I’m a baritone , I wish I could sing higher … I just can’t 😂 so when I finally learnt to use the voice I have , I have stared to enjoy my singing more . 🎉 You’re very right about changing the key to a song to suit your voice … Glenn Frey did this with “ take it too the limit “ , Originally recorded in C … Frey sang it in G live
My lowest chest note is D2 and my comfort highest note is G4, but also i can hit C6-G6 in maybe "whistle"?
I'm definitely a baritone.
Vocal range: C#2-B4-G#5
Supported range: F#2/G2-D4/Eb4-Bb4 (with head voice)
I've supported E4 multiple times but I still think it's inconsistent. I've also supported 1 F4 and G#4 by chance.
What note do you transition to head voice? Love to hear it!
null null I think it’s B4 from what they wrote :)
I'm sick of transposing to weird keys to accommodate my baritoneness. But playing blues in Ab is kind of fun.
Im a baritone with a chestvoice range of Bb1-B4(which I mostly Used) Im proud to be a heavy baritone because It feels Like I have superpowers because I can change my voice timbre to rock n roll, ballad, gospel, and even Operatic sound If needed! I feel like I can do anything thanks to my baritone voice. So my baritone brothers, just explore and one day you can achiece what Ive achieved too.
I'm a baritone and I dramatic baritones. I want my voice to go even lower. I'm under the impression that I could be a Verdi Baritone because I have low timbre but quite husky and unique.
For some reasons, popular music is focusing mostly on tenors. Even lyric barritones are singing like tenors. Depper voices in pop music are rare. Rock music is using more variety of voices.
Elvis Presley was Baritone and he amazed everyone with his voice,and now it's my turn to believe in my voice and all the baritones out there.
“Unless you are attempting to make a career covering the songs of other artists, you should not worry about labelling your vocal range”
Unfortunately, that’s the exact job description of a musical theatre actor ahaha. Amazing video, by the way!
This is an interesting video. I know that, as a baritone myself, I've run into speed bumps a couple of times - people assigning me tenor parts in choirs, and things like that. But as a Lyric Baritone (light baritone) I understand now that some believed when I was in my early 20's I'd develop into a tenor.
This was not the case and while I don't have that brassy punch (like Bryn Terfel, for example) of some baritones, it's great to have music which is well-suited to an individual voice.
im so glad there are so many guys out here who had a hard time accepting their voices, i grew up listening to soprano female singers so imagine the torture once i hit puberty. i lost my voice for two years because i was trying so hard to strain it and sound higher. im slowly learning to accept myself
I just went through a voice drop recently. It's quite surprising considering that it happened at 19. I went from a Tenor to a stereotypical Baritone within 4 months.
My Vocal range in January 2021 was B2-A4 and my talking pitch was at an F3 (170Hz), and now in May 2021 I have a stereotypical Lyric-Baritone range of F#2-G4 and my talking pitch has dropped down to C3 (132Hz).
Did anyone else experience such a drastic natural voice drop after 19?
I was a tenor till 2 days before a performance
Then a baritone & bass voice
I've sung like Johnny cash
So you became an actual male? Good stuff.
Male voices keeps on developing, and they often become deeper, richer and sometimes lower as you age. The best bass voices for example are older men. This is even true for tenors as well, generally in opera they do want to cast men under 40 as heavy voiced tenors such as dramatic and heldontenors, because they only gain the right sound with age.
@@ZENOBlAmusic
My voice is even deeper now at 20. I don't think I was a Light Baritone last year, as I just didn't have the vocal weight to be one, and I had a flawed understanding of voice type.
Today, however, I am a convincing Baritone, my lowest chest note is D2, and I speak at G#2 (102Hz), and I have a heavy voice, so yes, you're indeed right, male voices get deeper with age.
My voice for example, dropped from F3 (170Hz) to G#2 (102Hz) in 1 year, and my lowest chest note dropped from C3 to D2 as well.
I went from being a high Tenor to a Baritone.
@@azizquadri5824 It is good to hear that you have gained such an understanding of your voice. Heavier or dramatic baritones have great voices. Frank Sinatra started as Lyric Baritone and ended up having a more dramatic voice. Lyrics baritones can have quite light voices, they can often sound closer to lyric tenors then the rest of the baritone Fach. Even in opera they can have quite light voices and they sometimes have to sing coloratura passages. In fact you might often find that dramatic and Heldentenors have deeper, richer and heavier voices then Lyric Baritones. But it is amazing to see how much male voices can really change, they until 35 - 40. But even then, your low notes will keep on improving. It is great to have a heavy or dramatic voice, they are very rare.
I sing many female songs in a barratone register and people love it, hearing the thick high notes rather than thin high notes, I'm not tenor phobic by the
Way, 😆 ❤ 😍
Hi dr dan can i ask question? Do you have and idea what vocal range kenny rogers had? Is he a tenor or baritone?
I adore the baritone voice. Embrace it, guys!
I have a medium voice when I speak. But if I sing I can sound low and bassy naturally and automatically.
Sometimes when I just absentmindedly sing I always end up changing certain bits of songs because my voice can't handle long moments, a song where I'm god tier at is Ten Feet Tall by The Devil Makes Three.
I think i'm actually a bass according to this video lmao
Cries in bass
Im a baritone i was obsessed with high notes and i developed from Eb4 to Eb5 and now i see that being a baritone isnt bad at all actually im looking for the lowet notes
My Vocal Range:
Chest Voice- F#2-G#4
Falsetto- C5-G5
What is my vocal type? Bass or Baritone?
Having a voice that’s distinctive is way more important
my brother is an tenor but before when he was 10 here voice type is soprano but now here is tenor
What am i?
My vocal range is g2-g4, a4- c6- my head voice/ falsetto
My tessitura is c3-d4
Almost certainly, a Baritone.
@@DrDanRobinson thanks for your reply dr. Dan. Today, i can hit g#4 by chest ( but not comfortable) and A4 By chance. What do you think?
my tessitura: G#2 - E4. What I am
@@bam.polyglot you're a baritone.
I am just fifteen. Can I, in the future, be a bass? I would like to be a tenor :'(
I agree! Jonathan Davis from Korn is a great example for this. He is a Baritone.
I’m a baritone, proud of it.
This are 3 baritones subtypes are amazing
Baritenor is a low tenor with high baritone range C3-F4
Lyric Baritone is a sweet light sweetie baritone B2-A4
Bass Baritone is a baritone with a ability to sound like bass with baritonish high notes range C2-F4
Thanks dr. Dan that really helped me a lot I actually didn't know that you have dreams to sing like a baritone the light lyric tenor range of your voice is awesome too because I'm a baritone I'm always thinking about singing high notes the truth is I can whistle but it's just a little tough for me to do it on key
BJ, just be the best you that you can possibly be!
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials thank you so much and I will and I'll keep on singing
Thank you for this, my spirit is lifted!! 🤍
This, I needed to here. Even with having a wide range; I always default to the baritone range.
Well I'd say I'm a baritone,
My overall vocal range is F2-Bb4-C6, my comfortable range is B2-F#4-G5
However I don't know what subtype I am, I am more comfortable and I have more power in the F3-F4 part (I'm not completely comfortable above F4 - In chest voice-)
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials Okay ! Thanks ! Great video btw !
I think you are a Dramatic/Heldentenor with more practice.
wow, C6. I'm trained in 3 months, and vocal ability is now still G2-F#4-B5. And of course F#4-B5 is head voice, not my real voice. Powerful but female-sounding.
Thomas PH i think you a high baritone or might be a dramatic tenor..your range kinda similar to me(E2)F2-A#4-D6(D#6)but i strain above my second passaigo which is E2..well my chestvoice is weak and somehow my headvoice develop really well eventhought i don't use it as much as i use my chest voice😅
Gday Dr Dan, I have been doing the online course and finding it very helpful, you make sense to total beginner right off the bat, I'm very confused about where I can sing. I can sing a song around the b note, I think round middle c, feeling quite comfortable, but my wife will say I'm singing too high, yet it doesn't feel like it, is that possibly the top of my range ? I'm very much a beginner and only really hearing things like head voice and falsetto,belt and twang for the first time, I've noticed your speaking voice is quite high, is that an indication of someone's singing voice ?

Even tenors are envy to baritone's voice. But I think it's only because of Baritone's "speaking" voice, not for singing. When u searching in the RUclips "Male Singing High Notes" many people go watch it and there is so many discussion. Different with "Male Singing Low-Mid (as Ex : B1 - G#4) it's seems like ordinary note. Bass note are awesome if you can reach it with your modal voice and recude ur fry. It's really hard to consistent low notes. Also we can reach some high note with belting but what Baritone's want is "singing high with their modal voice (chest-mixed) not with a technique. I'm low baritone, but my tone is not so rich. First, I'm 17 y.o. My Lowest Chest Voice is at Eb2/E2/F2 and Fry Chest on D2 and go down to C2. It's extended day by dy. Ok, now how about highest notes I've singing in Full voice (mixed)? It's Bb4 but really I'm uncomfortable and so close with belt quality but still controlled bcoz it's full voice. I was only reach C4 and can't go higher when I started singing for the first time... I can belt up to B5, falsetto up to C6 and whistle up to C#7. But it's so fake because that's only a technique. Our body wants to use our full voice to reach a C5 that bruno mars can reach E5 or maybe F5. We're envy so much lol... So what I'm trying to say is, both of us (tenor and baritone) are envy each other, in many aspects. If you're baritone, and you're happy with your high note in full voice, you will never be a tenor, and if you go higher up to G4 your voice is become thin, even Ken Tamplin can reach C#5 (he's a lyric baritone) but it's so thin and masked but it's so awesome for baritone, that's something that most people can't do. Sometimes you need to break your limit dude. Baritone's mid voice is so boring if there's no dynamic (overtune etc.) In my region, people only respect on highnotes and don't care about it's quality, high note high note and high note. If you eant to be a great singer, you should have a good control all over your voice register. Look at "Dimash" in low-upper register he can control every register that he have. It's not only about high note but also low note and the most important, control and quality of note itself. I still envy to tenors, even John Lennon hate his voice, dunno why... I wish someday i can kill that C5 with ny modal voice without any strain, nice quality, also good to hear (not sounds like forcing my voice). Sorry for my grammar anw, I'm Indonesian, love to see this vid, it bring me happiness and ur channel is so awesome sir, I Really appreciate it. Thank u ^^
Thank you Dr. Dan. I am a lyric baritone who has low notes and high notes of course. I can sing an A above middle C if I think happy thoughts. I will embrace my vocal range. I appreciate your encouragement!
Wonderful!
Well if you notice all the classification of baritone vocal range always label the highest note around G4 it's not because baritones can't go higher i am a baritone and i can go to D5 note but because you'll notice as a baritone that you're putting much more effort in reaching the notes around G4, so they're all right 👍
Another great video Dr Dan! In relevance to this video and your puberty voice change video I would like to bring up another issue with most male singers in general after their voice cracks. Most guys after puberty will speak lower, that is a fact. However, it is not natural to force a fake and strong bass sound. Most guys think that it's only natural to speak like a bass after puberty and some think that it's cool to speak lower. Unfortunately these people are misinformed, especially if they wish to find their vocal facht and improve their singing voice. One extremely common way of doing this is by adding vocal fry to sound deeper and richer. Vocal fry is indeed a form of vocal rehabilitation and useful in some situations. However if done incorrectly and very often, is detrimental to the singing voice. This leads onto the next point where many guys start to believe that they are baritones/basses where *in fact they are tenors* (It is factually proven that most males are tenors)! So guys, don't immediately classify yourself as a bass/baritone immedoately and take some time to explore the higher ranges of your voice before making a final decision!
I've been trying to embrace my voice. It's weird. I'm most comfortable between F2 and A3 but am starting to also be fairly comfortable up to a D4. My bridges are a little bit lower than average as well. But my voice doesn't have the warmth or heaviness one would expect of that range. I actually sound more like a tenor, even if I darken the colour of my voice a lot (which I don't do habitually). Jealous of the high notes of tenors, jealous of the warmth of basses/baritones. Bleh. So, I'm trying to convince myself that I have an unusual voice and that it is a good thing lol =/

Watching this, I totally fail to comprehend how anybody could dislike this video. Thank you so much for putting these things into perspective!
No worries!
I'm a light- lyric Bartione (F2-C5). My lower notes are warm and full, while my upper range is much brighter, with a definite ping to it. As a teen, I could whistle but as I've gotten older I can only get there on really good vocal days.
Not enough great lead parts for baritones is the usual reason people don't like being a baritone. Also, pop and r&b greatly privilege a tenor voice. While a good number of people like jazz and blues, it just doesn't draw the numbers as pop outside of big cities from what I have seen. There are maybe 5 big name baritone that will sell out venues as a solo artist. Who wants your bad to sell things out? I mean...I want to sell out a show unassisted by co-stars heh :)
I'm pretty sure I'm a baritone (a little on the higher side)
Vocal Range: E2-C6 (with head voice)
Supported Range: F2-Bb4
A high Baritone. Some might even be tempted to classify you as Tenor.
Mine is b3 - c6
Gracias maestro, esta es una de mas mejorez explicaciones que e escuchado, la myoria no hablan estas cosas y con tanta elocuencia, se agradece mucho, es usted un verdadero maestro que sabe de verdad y puede guiar un mundo de cantantes y aspirantes a cantar. Gracias
I’m a baritone, but use my falsetto to reach high notes.
I’m a baritone and proud but I just watched this video to learn more about baritones
Thank you very much for this, it helped me a bit in my confidence now :)
I wish you were a vocal trainer at SM Entertainment. They need to celebrate and respect their baritones a hell of a lot more than they do!
The problem i have with these voice types are like voices inbetween like mines. I cant sing below C3 without straining and I’m lucky if i get a G2. Whereas at the top end i singing up to Bb4 sometimes B4. Its why don’t even pay attention to voice types.
I am Not here You sound pretty clearly like a tenor. Keep in mind that C5 is the typical "top" note for TRAINED tenors. If you're untrained, being able to sing up to a B4 is still pretty damn good
Noah O'Donnell its a wing and a prayer for the B4 its more like A#4 is the last useable note and it needs work. Anything above G4 is belting range i wanna belt like brendon urie
Noah O'Donnell A trained tenor should be able to go way higher than C5. Maybe up to G5 in mixed voice would be a good top note. Of course it depends whether you mean for opera or contemporary. I'm a baritone and I can mix up to D5 without too much trouble. So yeah, sure C5 might be the tenor limit in chest voice, but through mix voice you can go much higher.
Dylan Weberbauer - Session Keyboardist Hell no.
Me and u bro
I started out singing when I was 12. Back then I hadn't hit puberty obviously, and my voice was shrill. I hated my voice because I didn't really know what to do with it and it didn't sound like I wanted it to sound. It wasn't as deep as I wanted it to be although I was a belter. When I finally hit puberty my voice dropped dramatically to a baritone and I could no longer sing the songs that I used to sing such as all for ones I swear or I can love you like that or even Brian Adams Everything I Do I Do It For You. Like I used to. I hated my voice even more. Yes it was deep but too deep or at least deeper than I wanted it to be because I still wanted to belt out like I used to I went through years of hating my voice and not knowing what to do with it because I could no longer do what I was used to doing. I called it the baritone curse. And I hated it. There's some years I had discovered some things not many people know about or at least that I didn't. First of all I found out that females have what it's called the alto curse. It is the female equivalent of the baritone curse. I also found out that Axl Rose of Guns and Roses is actually a baritone and that he trained his voice to hit the high A. ..Michael Jackson was actually a Bariton also, but prefered to speak in falsetto..thwyre are videos of ppl talking about MJ's deep voice and sone if MJ speaking in his deeper voice....Which tells me that the baritone voice is trainable and can sing high it just takes a lot of work to get there and that the baritone voice is much better than say a natural Tenors because a baritone voice can add more color than a tenor can to a song that can display more emotion more Rich emotion. And by that the fusion. If you don't know what Fusion is. Fusion is when someone is singing and they are in the pocket and you could hear and feel the conviction in their voice to the point that you get goosebumps, chills or the short hair stand up on your neck. That is called Fusion. Most baritones stay only in chest register and only singing vowels that triggers their voice to make the Deep chest register sounds. Baritones can train their voice to sing mid-register as well as head register. It takes a lot of work for a baritone but it is doable. Also I have discovered that there are seven baritone types. And that baritone is a common voice type for a man. But not every baritone knows how to work with their voice. And for that they never develop their particular sound
when I worked at Mcdonalds and was on drive thru some customers said I have a baritone voice. A lot of people say I have a quiet voice/a radio voice.
My voice goes from a D2 in low notes, C5 in Mixed belt, G5 in falsetto(D2-C5-G5) Do you think I’m a baritone or tenor?
baritenor maybe,for tenor is quite hard to sing D2 in chest.
My voice is D2-G4 in chest and my head voice is C4-D5 I think I’m a low baritone but I just started working on strengthening my vocal chords and my E4 F4 F#4 and G4 are slowly getting easier to sing so hopefully I can increase my range a bit
Soy seguidor de hablahispana pero veo tus videos con el idioma de la pasión por la música. Gracias:)
Thank you very much. This is very helpful. It seems like most male rock and pop singers today sing in a very high pitch voice.
when I had a vocal cord noudles trouble I went to doctor and I was figured out as a Britone
At first I shocked but I admited it and I began to use the key changing when I sing
I think it is very important to every singer
And now I Can Use Middle high notes comfortably
Love baritones more than tenors and basses, they can do everything, more than mezzos too. They have a beautiful timbre and many of them can go high, too. I wish I could be born baritone😂😂😂
