I'm a bass. There.

But I'm slowly trying to extend my range.

Default another bass

I'm another bass... It seems we now have too many basses and baritones! Some of us will have to sing countertenor just to balance things out
I have a very bright timbre though, I sound like a tenor. Which is good, as it's just the voice I wanted when my voice started to drop I would love to sing, but I don't have a great voice. My vocal role model would be this bass:

http://www.cantabile-subito.de/Basse...mussorgsky.MP3

( he's singing the death scene in Boris Gudunov )

I love low bright voices like his. Also I like the high dark voices you get in most mezzos and contraltos, and some sopranos ( like Rosa Ponselle ).

PS; DW, you have over three octaves! I'm impressed!

We must search for 1 soprano and 2 altos I would suggest, and with Countertenor, what about you, James?

I'm a soprano, but I can sing really really low as well.

Our "member-choir" now: 3 sopranos, 1 Alto, 2 Tenors and 7 Baritons/Basses, and 1 other voice.

Friends, we need mor Altos and Tenors! And some sopranos would be also good! We have a big "bass-ground" now

Actually, as long as your basses sing well (rhythmically clean, and good pitch) so that the bottom is not 'muddy', I like the sound of a choir which has more men than women; acoustically, the bottom strengthens the upper voices, and it can actually sound in better balance than many choirs which have 'even distribution'.

Cheers,
~Karl

i sang alto for most of my life and then my new voice teacher said she thinks im a soprano, so i switched in choir. i still have trouble fitting into this new label lol; i CAN sing the high notes, but they dont sound good. atleast not to me..

You can be also alto in our "member-choir". So we would have 2 altos, but I think you voted for soprano . Anyway, some more altos would be nice.

Daniel

P.S. my first statement that I am a tenor with tendency to bariton should be corrected. I think I am more a baritone, would be a choir-bass but can getter higher more easily than lower.

I'm an odd one: technically, my voice sounds as if it has broken, and I can sing a G on the bottom line of the Bass clef, but I can still sing all the treble notes in a non-falsetto voice. My highest note is a D a couple of octaves above Middle C.
