ok, i'll apologuise in advance for this not really being about broadway, but, urm, everyones talking about alto and tenor and soprano and stuff, but i don't really know what it means could someone please let me know? i'd like to know whioch one i am (if anything)

[bwayluvor31]

I take it you don't have a singing teacher.

Soprano, alto, etc. are terms used to decribe a singers full range and/or strongest range.

Soprano: female; highest voice
Mezzo-Soprano: female; middle voice
Alto: female; lower voice

Tenor: male; highest voice
Baritone: male; middle voice
Bass: male; lowest voice

Note: High, middle, and low refer to the given gender; altos sing higher then baritones even though altos are "low" and baritones are "middle".

I hope this answers your question.

[Catherine]

yes it does

thanks a lot

although i do have a singing teacher, shes just not very good

Yeah, I knew they were vocal ranges, but I had no idea what order they went in. I knew that Bass was the lowest and Soprano was the highest...We never really messed with parts when I did musical theater in high school (or, at least, I didn't. I wasn't much of a singer.) But after auditioning for some community theater shows, I learned pretty quickly that I needed to know!
