Vocal Range

 


This sem I'm in Choir class with ex-roomate, Ainaa.  We had some problems regarding the subjects.  At first we were in Drama & Teater class but then something came up and Ainaa changed our subjects and she helped me with everything.  Yup went up to the canselori building to deal with the office stuff and even dropped the subject from my account and all.  Haha.  Thanks!  So yesterday we had the vocal inspection thingy, and we sang in a group by group.  We sang the Sandiwara Cinta or something and the lecturer grouped me in the soprano group which I found a bit off.  When back in form 3, I had the same thing went for us but the teacher checked us a person at a time and she said I'm an alto!  I think I like being an Alto.  Because I don't like the way a girl sounds when they sing the high pitch or something.  Idk and forgive me I'm not professional but it doesn't sound natural to me.  Unless you sing in solo and sounds like Beyonce and more.  When you sing the high thingy in a group...ergh.  I am truly sorry.  Maybe later I'll learn why. 

So, I found the video above and tried.  I've checked mine and I got something from F3-C5.  But then Im not sure how to look at it.  And I got excited to find my favorite singers' vocal range!  There are a lot more fav singers out there but these two are picked because they first came up to my mind.  I randomly picked the info below.  It might differed from other source.

Rihanna
 

 

 

Vocal type: Lyric-Contralto 

Vocal Range: 3 octaves 2 notes(B2- D6) 

Whistle Register: No 

Vocal Pluses: Distinct tone that makes Rihanna's voice easily identifiable. Voice sounds best in it's low to mid range- as heard in the verses of Russian Roulette- where it finds a solid tone that has a slightly smoky quality to it. 

Rihanna's belting range has improved in recent years; where previously her voice was nasal and thin, it now has a degree of strength and weight to it, sounding correctly placed- Listen to Only girl (in the world). 

Rihanna's head voice is soft and airy with a sweet and warm tone and is capable of switching quickly and effortlessly into that part of her range. She has the ability to hold notes for lengths of time, while maintaining its dynamics and tone, as well being capable of singing vocal runs with apparent ease.  

Vocal Negatives: Rihanna's voice can still sound nasal at times (but I personally like it, tho), particularly in live performances.

me:  And I looked up a few vids of her live performance of the 'What Now' song and how she always mostly asked the fans to sing the 'What Now' part.  T_T.  That part is her strength but why she did that.  Sobs.  I like the part 'two sided mirror'.
