I have a decent-sized range from the D below Middle C to the D three octaves higher. But how can I tell if I'm an alto or soprano? My registers sound like two different people. My chest voice is hard, rough and very powerful. A bit like Patti LuPone, if you know who that is. And my head voice is clear and bright, like a soprano. I can technically sing both alto and soprano. What am I?!
*Kate* answered Wednesday July 5 2006, 10:03 pm: You can sing either. I know it sounds a bit silly but I am the exact same way. My voice teacher and my choir director put me as soprano 1. I would ask a music teacher or a choir director at church to help you decide, but really if you can sing either part you should sing with the part you are most comfortable singing.
