To determine your vocal range:
- Sing a scale from the lowest note you can comfortably sing to the highest note you can comfortably sing.
- The note that falls in the middle of your range is your "middle voice."
- If your middle voice is in the soprano range, you are a soprano.
- If your middle voice is in the mezzo-soprano range, you are a mezzo-soprano.
- If your middle voice is in the alto range, you are an alto.
