Can alto sing in head voice?

A classical alto will do the opposite, singing as low as possible with head voice or mixed resonance. The range varies; a true contralto can sing way low, down to D or C below middle C, but should also be able to sing fairly high because even choral alto parts can go all the way to the top of the staff.

Does head voice count as your range?

Here’s what you need to know: The chest voice is the range of notes at the bottom of your voice. And head voice is the range of notes at the top.

How do you know if your voice is alto or soprano?

If you can go up eight or nine notes, that’s the alto range. If you can go much higher than that, you’re likely to be a soprano. If that’s in the middle of your range, and you can go down around eight or nine notes, that’s a tenor range.

What is the typical range of a mezzo soprano?

The mezzo-soprano voice is the middle-range voice type for females, overlapping both the alto and soprano ranges. The typical range of this voice is between A3 and A5. Many times, mezzo-sopranos will sing the same voice part as sopranos until there is a 3 way split between sopranos, mezzos, and altos.

What is the difference between vocal range and vocal weight?

What should I look out for when singing falsetto?

The important thing to look out for is that you don’t constrict your vocal cords too much and choke off the sound and/or that you don’t make your voice to breathy and quiet way up there in your head voice.
