What's you vocal range?

It kinda depends on how hard I get a "groin injury". I have reached "ultrasonic" range a couple times.

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.

Wow! We should start a kilted barbershop quartet!

The first week in August I go to Sidmouth, Devon - where there is a Folk festival each year.

I am quite a fixture, if not a feature, now as I have been going there for a long time.

I take my guitar and drum, and sing and play happily all week.

They do shape note singing in the parish church each day, and I try to fit that in as it is good for my ability to read music.

I usually sing the alto line in the 'Sacred Harp' book - so that is how I have added myself to the poll.

Back in the days when I did readings in church I was forbidden to use the King James version of the bible - it causes me to drop into my broad Yorkshire accent, which the southern folk could not understand - so I had to use the modern one which is much less poetic.

NEED a checkbox for totally unable to sing.. The music director at church refers to it as a deep monochromatic flat. My reading at the pulpit is much better received than my singing.

I can't make up my mind (which is why I can't sing.) My voice goes all over, probably from a higher ended bass maybe up to a nasal alto.

I can yell real loud though, and call cadence pretty decently.

I sang barbershop for a few years in my younger days. I loved it. Wish I had the time to do it now. Hopefully when we finally sell our house and move closer to work I'll be able to do some singing somewhere. Oh, I almost forgot. Definitely BASS.

I wish there was a decent barbershop group to join around here. I dont know enough people to start one, and wont be around long enough to worry about it now. Anyway, I am most comfortable as a baritone but I can sing bass pretty easily.

I was under the impression that the Castrati were a vanished "breed."

Some falsettists can do an impression but it's still not the same.

I sing second tenor in my male voice choir.

Actually, there are still several around; they aren't true castrati in the sense of having the … ahem … surgical procedure performed, but typically have some sort of hormonal disorder or their voice never broke during adolescence.
