Find your usable range
Most vocal range tools only ask for your lowest and highest note. This one also asks where your voice breaks, because that transition point is often more useful than your outer limits when you’re choosing audition material — a song that sits right on your break for sixteen bars will fight you every time, even if every individual note is technically within your range.
If you’re on your phone, turn it sideways in landscape position. make sure the Lowest note button is selected. Then click around the keyboard until you find your lowest usable note. (Not the lowest note you can sing, the lowest note where you can still be an actor. Make a good sound and make the word resonate and clear for your audience.)
Then click on the highest note button. This should be your top headvoice note that you can comfortably hit before the tone degrades.
Then click on the Break button. This is the highest chest voice note you can sing before you have to change resgisters. Your highest belt note.
Reference: C4 is middle C on the piano for SPN (Scientific Pitch Notation) if you haven’t used this before. This is the fourth “C” note (starting from the bottom) on the 88-Key piano.
Frequently asked questions
Your vocal break, or passaggio, is the transition zone where your voice shifts from chest voice into head voice or mix. Knowing exactly where yours sits lets you choose material that either showcases a smooth transition through it or avoids sitting on it for long, sustained phrases — which is exactly the kind of detail casting directors and vocal coaches notice immediately in an audition.
A Baritenor is a modern musical theatre term for a voice with the depth of a baritone and the upper extension of a tenor — commonly F2 to C5. It became common once amplification let leading men sing rock- and pop-influenced scores without needing a pure classical tenor range, and it now describes many contemporary leading-man roles.
Legit describes a classical, head-dominant vocal technique typically used in golden-age musicals, while Belt/Mix describes the chest-dominant, speech-driven sound used in contemporary pop- and rock-influenced shows like Six, Mean Girls, and Legally Blonde. The same singer can often do both — this tool shows you where your range sits for each.
Most resumes list your range as lowest note to highest note in scientific pitch notation (for example, A2–A4), sometimes with your voice type in parentheses. This tool’s “copy for my resume” button generates that exact line for you, formatted the way most casting directors expect to see it.
No — just your ears and a bit of experimentation. Click through the piano keyboard until you find the lowest note you can sing comfortably, the note where your voice noticeably shifts gears, and the highest note you can reach, and the tool does the rest.
