I was just having this conversation with someone and it got me to thinking... what is the sorta normal vocal range for your average adult singer? By that I mean the range that someone can sing in their regular singing voice before they sort of get into the kinda grunty thing at the low end or the wierd squeaky thing at the high end. I'm finding this hard to explain, but I'm sure you get what I mean.
What can you guys here manage?
I've got 2 octaves in my regular voice, i.e. the voice I can sing most powerfully in. I can go a fair bit further in the high end if I close my throat a bit and do the 'whistling'/falsetto thing, but then I sacrifice some of the power and I don't feel like that really counts.
Has anyone consciously managed to widen their range? I'm trying to do this, not in the proper doh-ray-me training way but singing along to songs that challenge me at my high and low ends. I feel like I'm getting somewhere with it, but I wonder if there comes a point where it's just physically impossible to go higher or lower? I think I've reached the lowest I can physically sing, but I'm looking to expand upwards.
And yeah, I realise talking about the technical aspect of singing seriously sucks the soul and passion out of the damn thing, but I hate trying to sing along to songs I love and finding myself sqwauking and making my neighbours hate me.
