Post by: The Geek on May 22, 2009, 09:37:11 AM: you should probably take lessons from this woman

free voice lesson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWt2YJCJleY#lq-lq2-hq)

She'd help you out.

In all seriousness, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_range (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_range)

Based on your speaking voice (light and fruity) I'd almost guarantee you are in the "tenor" range. However you do not sing classically (or broadway *shudder*) so I wouldn't bother calling yourself a tenor. Sit by a piano and see if that range is comfortable for you (refer to the keyboard on the wikipedia range) if you are squeaking, cracking or whispering in any of the extremities, try shifting up or down depending. It is more likely that you have an octave and a half to two octaves of vocal range. Without training, very few get beyond that. For what you are choosing to do, an octave and a half to two octaves is sufficient.

And hey, if you don't like your voice part, you can always become a castrato!

Post by: Thrash on June 05, 2009, 05:09:36 PM: Start with a piano, "C" is the easiest, and see how many C's you can keep up with ...
Each is one UP from your starting place is one octave ...

It's the easiest way ....
