QuestionWhat vocal range would C#3 to C6 be considered?DexterTheCat02Community AnswerMovable. This is the unspoken and rare vocal section in the choir, and the teacher’s favorite.

This will present issues when people ask what your voice part is and you say all of them though.

QuestionHow can I improve my low notes?Drew Hawkins1Community AnswerYou can definitely work on improving your low notes by practicing each day. One way is to use humming. Aim for about 15 minutes each day and pick a number of songs that cover a wide expanse of notes from low to high. Mimic the songs by humming to them. As you hum, concentrate on feeling the vibrations in your face as you go into the lower notes. If you're having trouble getting into a lower range, start by speaking the words in your lower register. This can put your vocal chords in the right position.

QuestionHow can I get my voice to sound lower while singing?Drew Hawkins1Community AnswerApart from lots of training and practice, there are a few tips that may help you reach a lower register. For starters, you can try moving the microphone closer to your mouth. As soon as you start to dip into a low note, pull the mic closer to your lips. This will help to create a deep, amplified sound. When you head into a high note, move the mic away from your mouth to get a clear sound. Just make sure the mic isn't touching your lips or it could mess up the sound quality. Additionally, for some people, it helps to curl your lips upwards just a bit when singing low notes. This lip placement can encourage you to open your mouth and throat up more, which can create a deeper sound. Try it out and see if it works for you. You can also try lifting your eyebrows to improve your sound quality. Give it a shot!

They can help you develop your ranges properly and improve your tone without damaging your voice. Look for a coach in your local area and start taking lessons from them. They'll be able to point out weaknesses and give you exercises and strategies for you to get better at singing.
