Range of baritone, timbre like tenor?

[ornate zodiac]

This has been confusing me for the longest time

[viral star]

Yeah so uh.. if you have the range of a baritone. You might be a baritone.

No cause actually what are you asking.

[ornate zodiac]

Yo my question got cut off halfway

I was saying i have the range of a baritone but the timbre of a tenor

Range of baritone, timbre like tenor?

[viral star]

Loll

[viral star]

What you mean by that

[ornate zodiac]

Like my voice is quite bright both when i speak and sing

[viral star]

Ah I see! And so what about it are you curious about?

[ornate zodiac]

Well at the time that i wrote that question i was quite curious about what classification this would put me in (tenor or baritone) but nowadays i guess it dosent really matter as long as you know your range and also your vocal weight

[viral star]

Yeah you can probably call yourself a baritone. The tone of your voice doesn’t really count to the “classification” of your vocal range

[ornate zodiac]

i always thought i was a baritone but it got real confusing once my vocal teacher called me a tenor 😭

[viral star]

Oh i see! Can just say you’re a tenor with the capability of reaching baritone ranges?

[ornate zodiac]

I guess that would make sense

[viral star]

[ornate zodiac]

But i've really studied this whole vocal classification thing and to be honest theres more to it than meets the eye

[viral star]

Yeah theres a lot

[ornate zodiac]

Thanks for answering

[viral star]

Yup!

You'd typically be classified as a tenor

It just means you're not fully trained to sing the full tenor range

[lapis adder]

Yeah idk its very confusing a teacher once told me im bass, and my new teacher told me im a tenor, but I'm struggling with the higher notes and feel more comfortable in the baritone range. But i guess it's all about practice and technique after all. I'll just see myself as a mix between baritone and tenor for now 🧍‍♂️

[ornate zodiac]

You sure?

I mean that actually makes a lot of sense

[woven tinsel]

Range is something you can always improve on, mainly on higher end, less likely on the lower extremes. But timbre, that’s something that you have biologically. You can try to sing like another voice type, but you won’t have the natural tone and timbre of it.

[ornate zodiac]

What type of tenors are the ones with the most vocal weight?

[ornate zodiac]

@viral star @woven tinsel i aint gonna lie i think ima just turn out to be a really weird baritone lmao

[viral star]

[ornate zodiac]

Cause i can hit like really low baritone notes but they still sound bright

im cursed

[woven tinsel]

Lyric baritone

They’re a lighter form of baritone

[ornate zodiac]
