Another Tenor here ... 1-1/2 octave range comfortably. I can get into the Baritone range, but have no projection. Tenors rule, anyway ... lol

Tenor as well, but with a fatally narrow range. Think James Taylor, or the the former artist once known as Cat Stevens. That about gets it in the ballpark.

A very gravelly, tuneless bass... think Bob Dylan on a bad day

My voice is still changing (slowly now), but I think I'll settle into a low baritone range.

Alas, it's been a day or three since I sang regularly, but in the day I was always happiest singing alto, filled in once or twice when the first tenors needed a hand, was never really happy above high F - and need a running start to get there these days.

Ditto. My voice has almost settled, probably to something like a baritone, but it still occasionaly hits notes high enough to shatter glass. Our school is doing a production of Oklahoma and my music teacher seems to think I could do a principal part. I've tried singing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning", and seem to be stretching my voice whether I do it up the octave or down.

I like the question: "What voice do you have?", not "What can you sing?". I was able to answer truthfully.

Mine is bass, although I cannot sing well and only join a choir. All my temmate say that I sound like a broken English horn
My vocal range is D2 to D4, and before my voice broke up 4 - 5 years ago, I was a boy alto with vocal range of F3 to D5, and now my falsetto range is F3 to F5.

Default voice-ing

In the SATB choirs I sing in I sing Bass, but in the TTBB choirs I sing in I sing Baritone.

I´m a soprano, my comfortable reach is about C3 to D6, but I can sing an intire octave below central C with chestvoice, and I can sing an E/F6 when I´m properly warmed up and in a good day. My fach would probably be lyric, but I hope to become a coleratura soprano, but I´d have to see how my voice futher develops to see if I will or not.

My singing teacher is by the way the one who jugded my fach and voice type, the soprano thing is very sure but the fach isn´t. She´s quite convinced I won´t become a dramatic soprano which I´m ok with, I don´t mind whatever fach it will be, I like all of them.
