I have this song sang by a female and I'd like to transpose it so that males could sing it. Unsay vocal range sa usual males? I play the piano so we can use the piano as reference kun asa dapit ang vocal range sa males, sa middle c ba or one octave higher than middle c etc etc. naa koy na google sa net pero dili ko kasabot sa numbers attached to the letters. Here it goes:
Soprano
High female voice, G3 (below middle C4) to F6 above high C6 although anywhere above high C can be included.
Coloratura
A singer, usually soprano, who sings ornamental passages in music - C4 to F6 or G6 above high C6
Lyric Soprano
Warmer middle sound - Bb3 below middle C4 to high C6 or D6
Spinto Soprano
Usually a thicker sound with more edge and volume but with the same range as a the Lyric Soprano
Dramatic Soprano
The loudest and lowest with cutting power - low Bb3 or A3, to a pushed high C6
Mezzo-Soprano
Middle female voice with dark quality, Low A3 or G3 (below middle C4) to at least high C although it is not uncommon for high A6 or Bb6 to Eb6 above high C6.
Alto or Contralto
Low Female Voice, low C3 (below middle C4) to high C6 or up to high A6.
Tenor
High Male Voice, C (an octave below middle C) up to high C or D (or above).
Countertenor
Highest male voice, also called alto, often falsetto - (see Russell Oberlin distincts True Countertenor from Falsettist YouTube clip)
Heldentenor
Poweful dramatic tenor voice
Baritone
Middle Male Voice, low G/F an octave below middle C to B, F or G above middle C (just below the Tenor high C).
Bass
Baritone - More like a bass than a baritone, lacks the low bass notes
Bass
Low Male Voice, low E (or lower) an octave below middle C to E, F G above middle C.
Basso Cantante
High bass voice suitable for solo singing
Basso Profundo
Deep bass voice encompassing about two octaves above C below the bass staff
These are just a few classifications which are split into sub classifications covering all types of vocal range and tone. Please note that the tone, resonance and ornamentation of the voice should be taken into consideration before assuming it falls into one or other 'fach'..... The amount of notes or range/register alone does NOT equal 'fach type'. An individuals vocal range may extend in each direction of their comfortable 'fach' or lack the full range of indicated notes but would still fall into the catagory due to the tone and quality of the voice. Also note that 'Middle C' denotes the C note closest to the center of the keyboard or the piano. In the UK this is often referred to as C4 but this is not standard for all countries who may have a different numbering system.
