Q. Hey guys, I've been trying to sing for the past few months now, but I can't for the life of me figure out my voice type haha. This is a video of me practicing some scales to get to C3/C4 (I say this because I can't tell if my starting point is C3 or C4, which is what I really need help with understanding) to E4/E5.

I can sing a little higher, up to G4/G5 on a good day but I was singing scales from memory and when I would sing the B4/B5 scale it just came out like the A4/A5 one lol. I can also sing lower, as low as F2/F3, I just thought it would be easiest to start from C. With what I've described that puts my range at about 2 octaves and 1 note which sounds about normal, right? So, my big question is what octave I'm starting and ending with.
Pitch probably isn't perfect, my singing probably has a long way to go, and I was quiet in singing because everyone's asleep and my walls here are thin. But yeah, any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!
A. OK I'd say you are Baritone.
As for the C3 or C4 octave thing, it helps if you have a piano. Refer to this picture: http://0.tqn.com/d/piano/1/0/B/F/-/-/Scientific-Pitch-Notation_layout.png
Remember that C4 is middle C (the note in the centre of the piano) and the octave numbers start with C everytime.
The note you started on is C3 (1 octave below middle C).
From this info, your range looks to be F2-G4 on a good day which is Baritone and the same range as me. "On a good day" would be when your vocal chords are warmed up. You will have a greater range when you are warmed up.
I have questions about song composition, rapping, and creating an instrumental.?
Q. When I am composing a song, I am faced with a few questions. I plan to use the pitch of my voice as the melody (I would use the keys that correspond to my pitch, in the baritone range; roughly F2~F3).
Here are my questions:
1.in what octave should I be playing my chords at? Is it completely up to me?
2. When I'm done writing the lyrics, melody, and chords of a song to a piano, how would I make an instrumental out of what I have created?
3. Some artists don't produce their own beats, how then does songwriting help them create songs when they did not create the instrumental? Are there chord progressions in every instrumental and artists write melodies to before attaching lyrics? Or do they just go in on an instrumental and forget theory completely?
Thank you in advance!
Any answers are TREMENDOUSLY helpful!
A. OK. It sounds like you know what you're doing.
1. Its completely up to you which chords you play, or whether on not to use chords. Feel free to experiment.
2. When you have the lyrics, melodies, chords, tempo, etc. then its time to put your ideas down. In the world today, most of us composers(well, a large number of composers, myself included) use what is called DAW(Digital Audio Workstation) software to lay down the instrumentals. If you're using a keyboard that has drum sounds on it, then you can get multitrack recording hardware, or use DAW software to put your tracks in one by one. Begin with the drums, and then layer on the piano and bass sections gradually after that. Most instrumentals will have at least 5 different instrumental tracks which you can then turn on or off during different sections of the song, for example, when the chorus comes in or out.
3. Some artists compose their own instrumentals, some artists work with composers to come up with instruentals together, and some artists use instrumentals which are already composed. Either of those three methods can work very successfully. Just make sure that no one else has used your instrumental before you or make sure that you have permission to use an exclusive instrumental or a leased instrumental. If you don't make your own instrumentals or you don't want to, then I would suggest finding and working with a composer who can produce exclusive instrumentals to your liking or who sells instrumentals exclusively to artists.
What's the lowest note a Male Tenor can hit?
Q. I'm able to go between E5 and F5 comfortably and while checking on the piano my lower notes were between A1 and F2 I'm pretty sure i was on key and I don't remember, but my vocal coach said my lowest was A but I don't remember which A. My friend says that not even basses or baritones can go that low. So I'm guessing if he's right I was doing it wrong.
A. Tenors can commonly hit many notes outside the Tenor Range C3 â C5. Someone who sings within the range of a Tenor does so because that is where their voice sounds best. Vocal chords are like a string instrument, you can go higher or lower, but there will be distortion. The timbre is what is important, or the tone and vocalization. So if you can go lower, or higher, and it sounds great, go for it!
However, A1 is impossible to hit ( I fairly certain), the lowest note called in most music for is D2. You can go lower I believe, but it is rare. If you can sing A2 to F3 that is impressive for someone who sings comfortably in E5 and F5.
Are you using a 88 note keyboard or 61? You might actually be singing what looks like A1 and is actually A2 or A3.
