Voice Type Classifier

Warm up, then sing across your range. The tool estimates your voice type — from bass to soprano — from your measured range and tessitura, with a confidence rating and a comparison chart of all types.

ℹ This estimates voice type from range and tessitura only. Real classification (the operatic Fach system) also weighs timbre, vocal weight, and passaggio, which a pitch-only tool can’t measure — so treat this as a fun starting point, not a verdict. Results depend on warm-up, technique and health. Your mic is analyzed live and never recorded or uploaded.

Microphone is off. Warm up, then click “Start microphone” and sing from your lowest to your highest note.

How It Works

The tool detects your pitch live with the YIN algorithm and tracks the lowest and highest notes you hold steadily, plus your tessitura (where you spend most of your singing time). It then compares your range and tessitura against the typical ranges of seven voice types — bass, baritone, tenor, countertenor, contralto, mezzo-soprano, soprano — and picks the best fit. The confidence reflects how clearly one type fits better than its neighbours; if your range straddles two, confidence is low and that’s honest. The comparison chart shows every type’s typical span with your measured range overlaid. Everything runs live on your device; nothing is recorded.

Range alone cannot fully determine voice type. Professional classification (the Fach system) also weighs timbre (bright vs dark), vocal weight, where your voice sits comfortably, and your passaggio — two singers with the same range can be different types. Use this as a fun, data-driven starting point, and let a voice teacher make the real call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my microphone recorded or uploaded?
No. Audio is analyzed live in your browser and never leaves your device. Stopping the mic releases it immediately.
Can range alone tell my voice type?
Not by itself. Type also depends on timbre, vocal weight, tessitura and passaggio. This tool uses range and tessitura as a strong hint, but a teacher’s ear is the final word.
Why is my confidence low?
Your range and tessitura fit two adjacent types almost equally — which is common and honest. Spend more time in your comfortable range so the tessitura estimate sharpens, and don’t strain for extreme notes.
It says I’m a different type than I expected.
Range can be wider than your comfortable singing zone. The tessitura (most-used region) usually matters more than the extremes — and timbre, which this tool can’t measure, can shift the real classification.
How should I sing for the best estimate?
Warm up, then glide from your lowest comfortable note to your highest and dwell in the middle of your range. Hold notes steadily so they register, and use a quiet room.
