Here is a sample of what I am asking. I can sing with the tone quality of Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contra Tenor. Around C3 (middle C) I can use Baritone,Tenor, mixed and falsetto (each different). When I sing Old Man River I use Baritone and with a lot of practice change the last note to Tenor (not falsetto). In the same range I sing And This Is My Beloved as a Tenor. When I slide from C2 (octave below low C) to as high as I can go I sing Bass, Baritone, Tenor and then falsetto. High Baritone is missing (go to F5). When I start at B flat 1 singing softly and holding a note and then going up 1/2 tone etc… I sing Bass, Baritone,Tenor and finally Contra Tenor. My Bass and Contra Tenor need help but they exist (so far up to A6).

You aren’t alone. When I was an elementary school kid, I was primarily a Soprano singer. However, as my voice turned deeper (becoming the adolescent boy), I became a baritone. By the time I reached chorus in 9th grade (my high school), my voice became a Tenor - and even though I can no longer reach Tenor sounds - I’m often confused for a very girlish voice in some respects - and that can be scary for some of my Uber/Lyft riders who confuse me for the opposite sex - even though my face is somewhat hidden nowadays.

Not alone. When I was really young I was primarily a soprano as well. Then I became pretty much soprano-alto. Now I’m mostly alto but I can still switch between alto-soprano fairly well.

You are so not alone. When I was little, I sounded like a baby when I sang. It was so embarrassingšŸ˜¬.
