| Sopranist |
|
Topic |
A sopranist (also, sopranista or male soprano) is a male classical singer who is able to sing in the vocal tessitura of a soprano usually through the use of falsetto vocal production. This voice type is a specific kind of countertenor. It should be noted that in rare cases an adult man may be able to sing in the soprano range using his normal or modal voice and not falsetto due to endocrynological reasons, like Radu Marian and Jorge Cano, or as a result of a larynx that has not completely...

| Baritenor |
|
Topic |
Baritenor is a slang word describing a male voice whose tessitura lies between the baritone and the tenor. The word is frequently used to describe one of the most common male music vocal types, rather a pop singer than a true operatic baritone with an upward extension into tenor territory and with a baritonal quality.
In classical music, the term may be used to describe male vocal students who have not determined into which voice type they will mature. It is rarely used to describe an adult...

| Soprano |
|
Topic |
A soprano is a singer with a voice range (using scientific pitch notation, where middle C = C) from approximately (C4) to "high A" (A5) in choral music, or to "soprano C" (C6, two octaves above middle C) or higher in opera music. In four part chorale style harmony the soprano takes the highest part which usually encompasses the melody. For other styles of singing see Voice classification in non-classical music.
Typically, the term "soprano" refers to female singers but at times the term male...

| Tenor | Topic |
The tenor is the highest male voice within the modal register, just above the baritone voice. The typical tenor voice lies between the C one octave below middle C (C3) to the C one octave above middle C (C5). The low extreme for tenors is roughly B3 (two Bs below middle C). At the highest extreme, some tenors can sing up to two Fs above middle C (F5).
Within opera, the lowest note in the standard tenor repertoire is A3 (Mime, Herod), but few roles fall below C3 (one octave below middle C). The...

| Bass |
|
Topic |
A bass is a male singer who sings in the lowest vocal range. According to Grove Music Online, a bass has a range extending from around the F below small C to the E above middle C (i.e., F2–E4), with a tessitura or comfortable range normally ranging between the outermost lines of the bass clef. However, cultural influence and human uniqueness create a wide variation in range and quality, and parts for basses have included notes as low as the C two octaves below middle C (i.e. Measure 12 of Ne...

| Baritone |
|
Topic | Chris Maden |
Baritone (or barytone; ; ; ) is the type of male voice that lies between bass and tenor. Originally from the Greek βαρυτονος, meaning 'deep (or heavy) sounding', music for this voice is typically written in the range from the second A below middle C to the F above middle C (i.e. A2-F4) in choral music, and to G above middle C (i.e. A2 - G4) in operatic music, though it can be extended at either end.
The first use of the term "baritone" emerged as baritonans late in the 15th century, usually in...

| Coloratura Soprano | Topic |
A coloratura soprano is a type of operatic soprano who specializes in music that is distinguished by agile runs and leaps. The term coloratura refers to the elaborate ornamentation of a melody, which is a typical component of the music written for this voice. Within the coloratura category, there are roles written specifically for lighter voices known as lyric coloraturas and others for larger voices known as dramatic coloraturas. Some roles may be sung by either voice. For example, Donizetti's...
