Press start, then slide slowly down to the lowest note you can sing comfortably and up to the highest. Hold each one for a moment — the test keeps notes you sustain, not passing slides.
Uses your microphone. The sound is analysed in your browser and never recorded or sent anywhere. Headphones help if you also play reference notes.
1. Warm up for a few minutes first; a cold voice loses notes at both ends. 2. Sing on an open vowel such as “ah” in a quiet room, a little away from the microphone. 3. Count only notes you can hold with a steady, unforced tone — the lowest you can growl and the highest you can squeak are not your working range.
Most untrained voices span about one and a half to two octaves; trained singers often reach two and a half or more. The voice type shown is simply the classical category whose usual range best overlaps yours. Teachers also judge where your voice sits most comfortably (tessitura), where it changes register and its colour, so treat the label as a starting point, not a verdict.
Once you know your range, train the notes inside it with the Sight-Singing Trainer or pick song keys with the Chord Transposer.
What is an average vocal range?
Around one and a half to two octaves for most adults without training. Range grows with
regular, healthy practice.
Why does the test jump to a wrong note sometimes?
Breathy sounds, background noise or a note that cracks can confuse pitch detection for a
moment. The test only records notes held steady for a fifth of a second, which filters most
of these out; if one slips through, press Reset and sing again.
Is my voice recorded?
No. The microphone signal is analysed in your browser frame by frame and discarded; nothing
is stored or uploaded.
