How do you find your voice range?

Question: How do you find your voice range!?

I sing in a large choir, and my intructor has put me in the Second Soprano range!. While this is usually okay, notes lower than Do are hard for me, and notes higher than high Re are difficult as well!. I would like to be a singer, and was also wanting any tips for improvement and such!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds like you already know your voice range: it's from Do (which is usually "C" to Re (D) and Ocave higher!. Your range is then C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D!. Now as far as catagories go (1st Soprano, 2nd Soprano, Alto, etc!.!.!.), it's hard to say!. Your current vocal range is quite limited, and you are likely capable of either going higher or lower with proper training!. It seems people don't like to hear this, but the best thing to do is get a vocal coach/private instructor!. This would be especially wise since you mention that you would like to be a singer!. It is quite likely there is a whole range of potential in your voice that a private teacher could bring out!. Check the phone book and local music stores for names of vocal teachers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
