Soprano
Singing Voice
The soprano voice is the
highest range of the female voice types. Sopranos are very
often the lead in the show. Famous soprano singers you may
know include Dolly Parton, Julie Andrews, Sara Brightman,
Maria Callas and Olivia Newton John. The following are
characteristics of the soprano voice type:
Soprano Voice
- Range
Often Middle C to High C although some sopranos can vocalize
way beyond High C and much lower than middle C.
A soprano is expected to have a High C and many sopranos can
sing up to the G or A above High C. Choral directors or musical
directors listen for the singer's comfort zone when determining
if the singer has a soprano voice. Although a mezzo can reach
some of these higher notes, a soprano is capable of singing
high notes more frequently.
Soprano Voice -
Coloratura
High, light, agile
Soprano Voice
- Register
Transitions
Because not all sopranos are the same, the register
transitions don't occur on just one note. The transitions
usually occur as the soprano shifts out of chest voice around
the E-flat just above Middle C and into her head voice around
F-sharp in the octave above Middle C.
Soprano Voice -
Strength
A soprano's strength is a strong head voice.
Soprano Voice -
Tone
The soprano voice is usually bright and ringing.
Soprano Voice -
Weakness
Soprano's have a harder time projecting in middle voice.
To reach the highest notes with your soprano voice, I
recommend using one of the following outstanding home study
