Hey babe, sorry it's been so long. I've been busy with college and such. Anyways, I hope this helps!

It's possible to sing in all ranges. But be sure that you can. Because you may be able to hit the notes, but if you need to struggle to get it out then you know it's out of your range. You want to make sure you can sing in all ranges, it's important...if you sing out of your range you're strecthing your vocals cords to produce a sound higher or lower than it normally goes. That's not good because it will hurt your vocal sound and production. So I would definitely advise you to practice to see how low and high you can go. If you play piano or take any instrument then you'll be able to play and see which notes you can hit.



Think of altos being in a medium range they must be careful because they can not sing too low or two high. And sopranos depending if they are a high soprano or low soprano should not go too high or too low. To see which notes you can hit, and to find out if you can hit all ranges play from the middle C on your piano. Then sing down the scale. The notes that seem easy to get out are the ones best fitted to your range. Altos ranges typically are a C below the Middle C to G. And a low soprano can hit G to a B. Higher sopranos can sing from a G and they can hit above a high C. Think or it like this...lower note belongs to altos, low sopranos are kind of in the middle so test all the note ranges from an alto to a high soprano. And the high sopranos obviously hit high notes.



Just to let you know, the singers that you hear on the radio or on music videos, concerts..etc. usually go beyond what they can produce as far as range goes. This is sometimes why Christina and others need to get their voices taken care of. When they sing their songs they normally give it all they got, it isn't good because that means that they are pressuring their sound by screaming or screeching out the notes. It's very harmful for their voices. Example: Ashlee Simpson--- because of the way she sings notes it caused her to have a voice problem. You might have seen it on her show. So remember when you are singing your favorite songs, take care of your voice and try to control singing the note correctly. Just a few reminders! :D
Love,
Mandee
