Bass range: The bass is the lowest male voice. The bass voice has the lowest tessitura of all the voices. The typical bass range lies between E2 (the second E below middle C) to E4 (the E above middle C). In the lower and upper extremes of the bass voice, some basses can sing from C2 (two octaves below middle C) to G4 (the G above middle C). [3]
The upper pitch range of the human voice is, on average, about half as high in males as in females. [3] Even after controlling for body height and volume, the male voice remains lower. Charles Darwin suggested that the human voice evolved through intersexual sexual selection, [4] via female mate choices.
A countertenor (also contra tenor) is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range is equivalent to that of the female contralto or mezzo-soprano voice types, generally extending from around G 3 to D 5 or E 5, [1] although a sopranist (a specific kind of countertenor) may match the soprano's range of around C 4 to C 6.

A tenor is a type of male singing voice whose vocal range lies between the countertenor and baritone voice types.It is the highest male chest voice type. [1] Composers typically write music for this voice in the range from the second B below middle C to the G above middle C (i.e. B 2 to G 4) in choral music, and from the second B flat below middle C to the C above middle C (B ♭ 2 to C 5) in ...
The tenor is a type of male singing voice and is the highest male voice within the modal register. The typical tenor voice lies between C 3 (C one octave below middle C), to the high C (C 5). The low extreme for tenors is roughly A 2 (two octaves below middle C). At the highest extreme, some tenors can sing up to F one octave above middle C (F ...
This voice type is a specific kind of countertenor. [1] In rare cases an adult man may be able to sing in the soprano range using his normal or modal voice (high chest voice) and not falsetto due to endocrinological reasons, like Radu Marian, or as a result of a larynx that has not completely developed as is allegedly the case of Michael ...
Some male singers can also make use of the whistle register, including Vitas, [10] Adam Lopez, [10] [11] Axl Rose and Dimash Qudaibergen. [ 10 ] [ 12 ] An Iranian man named Amirhossein Molaei holds the Guinness Book of Records title for the highest vocal note produced by a man (F♯ 8 , 5989 Hz).
A soprano (Italian pronunciation: [soˈpraːno]) is a type of classical singing voice and it has the highest vocal range of all voice types.The soprano's vocal range (using scientific pitch notation) is from approximately middle C (C 4) = 261 Hz to "high A" (A 5) = 880 Hz in choral music, or to "soprano C" (C 6, two octaves above middle C) = 1046 Hz or higher in operatic music.
