FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have a low female voice?
If you strain or flip into a thin head voice on choruses most friends find easy, but feel warm and strong lower down, you likely have a lower range. Songs on this page are a good test.
Can altos sing high karaoke songs?
Yes, by lowering the key. Most karaoke systems can drop a song two or three steps, which often turns a strained chorus into a comfortable one.
What genres suit low female voices?
Soul, blues-rock, country, and a lot of 60s and 70s pop sit comfortably low. Many modern pop hits are higher, so check the difficulty before you commit.
