Section 1: Getting Started & Using the Tool
1. What is Vocal Range Test, and how does it work?
Vocal Range Test is a free online tool that measures the highest and lowest notes you can sing. Using your microphone, it analyzes your voice in real time to detect pitch and calculate your full vocal range.
2. How do I start the vocal range test?
Click Start Test, allow microphone access, sing your lowest note first, then your highest note. The tool instantly shows your vocal range, note names, and matching vocal type.
3. Do I need to install any software or apps?
No installation is needed. The entire test works directly in your web browser—desktop, tablet, or mobile.
4. Can I use the test on both desktop and mobile devices?
Yes, it works on most modern browsers, but desktop microphones usually give more accurate results.
5. How do I compare my vocal range with famous singers?
Use the Range Comparer tool to see how your range stacks up against popular singers. We also have a growing library of Singer Range Profiles for reference.

Section 3: Accuracy & Performance
11. How accurate is the vocal range test?
Results are accurate for most users but depend on mic quality, background noise, and vocal technique. For best results, test in a quiet space with a good microphone.
12. Why do my results change each time I test?
Variations can happen if you sing differently, have background noise, or use different devices. Warming up before testing helps improve consistency.
13. Does microphone quality affect test accuracy?
Yes. A better microphone captures a cleaner signal, making pitch detection more accurate.
14. Should I warm up before using the vocal range test?
Yes, always warm up your voice to avoid strain and to get a more realistic measurement of your true range.
15. Why does the pitch detector sometimes show unstable results?
This can happen if the microphone input is too quiet, there is noise interference, or the pitch is unstable (like when sliding between notes).
Section 4: Vocal Education & Learning
16. What are the different vocal ranges (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass, etc.)?
Common ranges include:
- Soprano: C4 – C6
- Mezzo-Soprano: A3 – A5
- Alto: F3 – F5
- Tenor: C3 – C5
- Baritone: G2 – G4
- Bass: E2 – E4
17. How can I safely expand my vocal range?
Practice regularly with warm-ups, scales, and breathing exercises. Work with a vocal coach for professional guidance. Avoid forcing high or low notes.
18. What’s the difference between chest voice, head voice, and mix voice?
- Chest voice: Natural speaking and lower singing register
- Head voice: Higher notes with lighter resonance
- Mix voice: Blend of chest and head voice for smoother transitions
19. What are some good songs for beginners with limited vocal range?
Songs like Let It Be (The Beatles) or Someone Like You (Adele) are beginner-friendly because they stay within a moderate range.
20. How do I transpose a song to fit my vocal range?
Use our Transposition Calculator to adjust the key so the song fits comfortably within your vocal range.
Section 5: Technical Support & Troubleshooting
21. Why is my browser not detecting my microphone?
Check if you gave microphone permissions to the site. On Chrome, look for the lock icon near the URL bar and enable mic access.
22. What browsers work best with Vocal Range Test?
We recommend Chrome, Firefox, or Edge for the most accurate performance.
23. How do I adjust microphone sensitivity for better results?
On desktops, adjust mic input levels in system settings. On mobile, ensure you’re close enough to the microphone without distortion.
24. Why is there a delay or lag when testing?
Network speed doesn’t matter since processing is local. Lag usually comes from browser or CPU performance; closing other tabs helps.
