Vocal classification

Vocal classification refers to the categorization of singing voices based on their range, timbre, and quality. The primary classifications are soprano (high female voices), mezzo-soprano (medium female voices), contralto (low female voices), tenor (high male voices), baritone (medium male voices), and bass (low male voices). Each category reflects the unique characteristics of a singer's voice, helping composers and conductors select appropriate singers for specific roles in operas, choirs, and other vocal performances. Understanding these classifications enhances musical performances and helps singers train effectively for their vocal strengths.
