SINGING
14/f (voice equivalent to that of a woman)
Today when I was vocalizing I hit the C <i>above</i> the high C, and I can go all the way down to the D below middle C.
So that means that I have a (1-note away from) 4 octave range.
I wanted to know if that is considered amazing/unusual.
(please only answer this if you really know what you're talking about.)

Just so you know, I've been a vocal performance major for two years in college, and studying voice pretty much my whole life. I DO know what I'm talking about when I say yes, that's unusual. You and I are a lot alike. I had that range (literally, those notes) when I was your age, then changed my technique and lost quite a bit of it, but now it's back to the almost four octaves.
Most adults have somewhere between 2.5 and 3 octaves.
Though, since you're 14, those top notes you have might be in whistletone, which is the female equivalent to a male falsetto. Are you supporting those notes correctly, or do you find yourself using less air, less support, etc? Just curious. Let me know in feedback.
Anyway, yes, you and I are unique singers. Embrace your range, and make sure that your teacher recognizes it. (I assume you have a voice teacher). One of mine didn't acknowledge my crazy range, and as a result I...well let's say I gave a less-than-par performance.
Hope this was helpful - feel free to drop any vocal questions in my inbox!

I think thats amazing lol seeing as when i sing i scare small children. The more range you have the more songs you'll be able to sing and the more unique and diverse your voice is going to sound. I know alot of people who "think" they can sing and they can only do afew notes which sounds kind of elementry but the people i know who can extend their vocal chords to longer lengths sound really good. Im guessing your thinking of becoming a singer and you seem to be pretty good at it so if you havent already started singing lessons you probably should. This helps you to control your notes and stay on key also to better your skills. Goodluck with the singing! Love xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx
