Well, in SATB music, given a choice I'll sing the tenor line. To answer the question straight as set, my vocal range (on a good day, after a good warm up with my singing teacher) is a tone short of 4 octaves. Start from the G below the C below middle, and work up to the F above C above middle. It has to be a good day, though, but tenor 'top C' is easy within range most days.
Oh, and unlike most tenors, I can do a reasonable counter tenor/choral alto.
best regards

I high school I was able to go from a low tenor to a basso but mt comfort range was baritone. I still have the voice however, I no longer have the ear for key and pitch due to inner ear damage.
Some of my friends have told me that I have a great voice for radio that way people could turn me off.

Offensitone.
I always get impromptu solos, as everyone else stops, and looks on in shock... I mean awe.

and that would be coming close to the 'Castrati'. Thanks for including all the ranges whether they be legal or illegal. So if FYI before anyone marks their range make sure its the correct 'sex'.... don't there are three choices .
I'm a light tenor, maybe lyric baritone....contra-tenor? Never mind I'm from the Pit.

I couldn't vote, you don't have the "Flat" tonal option.

I used to be a member of Chile's Air Force Academy Choir, and I was a proud Baritone.

I went with bass-baritone, although I'm not entirely sure. I can get pretty low. Think of the low parts of Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons." I can't go much lower though. I also stare in amazement at the high notes the tenors can hit. I couldn't sing that high when I was a kid!
I do love to sing though. I used to do Karaoke five nights a week. Hmmm, maybe I'll get back into it one of these days.

I voted 'tenor' because when I once sang in choirs or smaller ensembles at school or church, I sang first tenor, but I consider myself more of a high baritone than a true tenor. As long as I'm not suffering from a cold or a huge sleep deficit, I can do A above middle C in natural voice (on a good day a B), but above that it's falsetto time.

A quick check tells me I can just make 2 octaves. Unfortunately I have no reference to tell what 2 octaves they are. But I voted baritone as that is what I sang in high school. Sang bass last time I sang, but could never really hit the lowest notes.

This is me too! Bring on the respect for women like Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls)
Amen to lovin the deep voices too. I don't understand why women like the tenors so much! Guys that can sing as high as me are just offensive.
