    I voted alto, though I can get down into a decent baritone range. It's been ages since I've sung with a group, and most the time can't decide whether I can sing or not (which I think means 'not').

    I sang opera when I was in college for a couple of years and I have to say that the really nice thing about being a bass is that you tend to get the most interesting roles. If you are familiar with it I sang the part of the Duke\Hades in Orfeo and the bass part for the people that walked in darkness for Handels messiah. those were both fun and challenging.

    I hope that my range is just out of earshot to those around me

    Well, in SATB music, given a choice I'll sing the tenor line. To answer the question straight as set, my vocal range (on a good day, after a good warm up with my singing teacher) is a tone short of 4 octaves. Start from the G below the C below middle, and work up to the F above C above middle. It has to be a good day, though, but tenor 'top C' is easy within range most days.

    Oh, and unlike most tenors, I can do a reasonable counter tenor/choral alto.

    best regards

    I high school I was able to go from a low tenor to a basso but mt comfort range was baritone. I still have the voice however, I no longer have the ear for key and pitch due to inner ear damage.
    Some of my friends have told me that I have a great voice for radio that way people could turn me off.

    I always get impromptu solos, as everyone else stops, and looks on in shock... I mean awe.

    I couldn't vote, you don't have the "Flat" tonal option.

    I used to be a member of Chile's Air Force Academy Choir, and I was a proud Baritone.

    I went with bass-baritone, although I'm not entirely sure. I can get pretty low. Think of the low parts of Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons." I can't go much lower though. I also stare in amazement at the high notes the tenors can hit. I couldn't sing that high when I was a kid!

    I do love to sing though. I used to do Karaoke five nights a week. Hmmm, maybe I'll get back into it one of these days.

    I voted 'tenor' because when I once sang in choirs or smaller ensembles at school or church, I sang first tenor, but I consider myself more of a high baritone than a true tenor. As long as I'm not suffering from a cold or a huge sleep deficit, I can do A above middle C in natural voice (on a good day a B), but above that it's falsetto time.
