138-592: A castrato in baroque operas . Historically, there is much evidence that the countertenor, in England at least, also designated a very high tenor voice, the equivalent of the French haute-contre . Until about 1830, all male voices used some falsetto-type voice production in their upper range. Countertenor voices span a broad range, covering E 3 to E 5 .

345-486: A few rare voices (such as the American male soprano Michael Maniaci or singers with disorders such as Kallmann syndrome ), countertenors typically have tenor or baritone chest voices and rely on their falsetto register to reach high notes, using their modal voice mostly for the lowest notes. The countertenor voice is therefore more often a product of the application of a specific technical approach, and much less often

483-593: A no- masturbation definition of sobriety is only appropriate for some sex addicts and that bottom lines can in fact be modified over time. Joe Kort criticizes SA for its pro- heterosexual marriage stance. However, founder Roy K. knew ahead of time that this was a controversial subject and often wrote letters from a contrarian perspective. "If we come into an SA group where we can define our own sobriety, watch those rationalizations come alive! And if we define our own level of sobriety, that's all we're likely to reach." In addition, Roy studied theology for many years at

552-430: A pitch level may lead to the development of vocal disorders such as vocal cord nodules . Increasing tension on the vocal cords is one of the means of raising pitch. Singing above an individual's best tessitura keeps the vocal cords under a great deal of unnecessary tension for long periods of time, and the possibility of vocal abuse is greatly increased. Singing at too low a pitch level is not as likely to be damaging unless

With the onset of puberty, women's, and particularly men's, voices alter as the vocal ligaments become more defined and the laryngeal cartilages harden. The height of the male larynx becomes much greater than in women. Size and development of adult lungs also changes physical capabilities of the voice. During puberty,

966-403: A singer tries to force the voice down. Many vocal pedagogues warn of the dangers of "quick identification." Premature concern with classification can result in misclassification, with all its attendant dangers. Vocal pedagogue William Vennard has stated: I never feel any urgency about classifying a beginning student. So many premature diagnoses have been proved wrong, and it can be harmful to

Some singers such as Enrico Caruso , Rosa Ponselle , Joan Sutherland , Maria Callas , Jessye Norman , Ewa Podleś , and Plácido Domingo have voices that allow them to sing roles from a wide variety of types; some singers such as Shirley Verrett and Grace Bumbry change type and even voice part over their careers; and some singers such as Leonie Rysanek have voices that lower with age, causing them to cycle through types over their careers. Some roles are hard to classify, having very unusual vocal requirements; Mozart wrote many of his roles for specific singers who often had remarkable voices, and some of Verdi 's early works make extreme demands on their singers. Many different voice types are used in vocal pedagogy in

1587-425: Is less likely to mis-classify or damage the voice. Unlike other classification systems, choral music divides voices solely on the basis of vocal range. Choral music most commonly divides vocal parts into soprano, alto , tenor and bass ( SATB ). As a result, the typical chorus is highly prone to misclassification. Since most people have "medium" voices (men tend to be baritones and women tend to be mezzo-sopranos),

1656-553: Is one of several twelve-step programs for compulsive sexual behavior , based on the original twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous . SA is part of a group of twelve-step organization addressing sexual addiction : Sex Addicts Anonymous(SAA) , Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous(SLAA) , Sexual Compulsives Anonymous(SCA) and Sexual Recovery Anonymous(SRA) . Collectively, these groups are known as "S" groups due to their acronyms Starting with "S": SA, SAA, SLAA, SCA, and SRA. SA supports individuals who identify as " sexaholics ." According to

The same-sex culture itself is divided. The "experts" are divided. The point here is this: For SA to validate same-sex sexualizing in SA, even indirectly, would have us endorsing a highly controversial biological theory and political movement against our Tenth Tradition. If we validate same-sex sexualizing as normative for

1794-438: Is rare, so much so that often roles intended for contralto are performed by mezzo-sopranos. The typical contralto range lies between F 3 (the F below middle C) to F 5 (the second F above middle C). In the lower and upper extremes some contralto voices can sing from D 3 (the D below middle C) to B 5 (the second B-flat above), one whole step short of the soprano high C . Contralto tessitura: The contralto voice has

1863-400: Is rarely called for in performance. Vocal pedagogues generally consider four main qualities of a human voice when attempting to classify it: vocal range , tessitura , timbre , and vocal transition points known as passaggio . However, teachers may also consider physical characteristics, speech level, scientific testing, and other factors such as vocal register . Voice classification into

1932-452: Is the lowest singing voice. The bass voice has the lowest tessitura of all the voices. The typical bass range lies between E 2 (the second E below middle C) to E 4 (the E above middle C). In the lower and upper extremes of the bass voice, some basses can sing from C 2 (two octaves below middle C) to G 4 (the G above middle C). Bass subtypes: Basses are often divided into different subcategories based on range, vocal color or timbre,

Contralto range: The contralto voice is the lowest female voice. A true operatic contralto

2760-402: The correct natural range of the voice is of great importance in singing since the outer ends of the singing range need very careful production and should not be overworked, even in trained voices." Singing at either extreme of the range may be damaging, but the possibility of damage seems to be much more prevalent in too high a classification. Medical evidence indicates that singing at too high of

2829-422: The correct voice type is important for vocal pedagogues and singers as a guiding tool for the development of the voice. Misclassification of a singer's voice type is dangerous. It can damage the vocal cords, shorten a singing career, and lead to the loss of both vocal beauty and free vocal production. Some of these dangers are not immediate ones; the human voice is quite resilient, especially in early adulthood, and

2898-487: The damage may not make its appearance for months or even years. Unfortunately, this lack of apparent immediate harm can cause singers to develop bad habits that will over time cause irreparable damage to the voice. Singing outside the natural vocal range imposes a serious strain upon the voice. Clinical evidence indicates that singing at a pitch level that is either too high or too low creates vocal pathology. According to vocal pedagogue Margaret Greene , "The need for choosing

In particular, the coloratura soprano has the highest tessitura of all the soprano subtypes. Soprano subtypes: As with all voice types, sopranos are often divided into different subcategories based on range, vocal color or timbre,

3174-412: The human voice is in an in-between phase where it is not quite a child's voice nor an adult one yet. This is not to suggest that the voice stops changing after puberty. Different singers will reach adult development earlier or later than others, and as stated above, there are continual changes throughout adulthood.

A soprano sfogato is a contralto who has an extended high range reaching the soprano high C . While the countertenor is almost universally recognized as a voice category, it is not a voice type in the strictest sense. Except for

3381-585: The married sexaholic, sexual sobriety means having no form of sex with self or with persons other than the spouse. For the unmarried sexaholic, sexual sobriety means freedom from sex of any kind. And for all of us, single and married alike, sexual sobriety also includes progressive victory over lust."

The White Book explains that "the sexaholic has taken himself or herself out of

Others were equally convinced this vote meant that "spouse" and "marriage" could be interpreted as understood by each member. Some were convinced that SA is afraid to "say what it means and mean what it says." On July 9, 1999, the General Delegate Assembly, meeting at an international conference in Cleveland, unanimously voted (9-0) to clarify

3519-499: The mezzo-soprano range. Initially, the term was associated with boy sopranos but as the inclusion of girls into children's choirs became acceptable in the 20th century the term has expanded to refer to all pre-pubescent voices. The lumping of children's voices into one category is also practical, as boys and girls share a similar range and timbre. Most trebles have an approximate range from A 3 (the A below middle C) to C 6 ( top C ) or above. For high notes see, for example,

3588-440: The parts they are assigned are often too high or too low for them; often mezzo-sopranos must sing soprano or alto and baritones sing tenor or bass. Either option can present problems for the singer, where the singers strain their voices to reach the high or low notes, but for most singers there are fewer dangers in singing too low than in singing too high. Sexaholics Anonymous Sexaholics Anonymous ( SA ), founded in 1979,

3657-417: The pre-pubescent voice, an eighth term, treble , is applied. Within each of these major categories, subcategories identify specific vocal qualities such as coloratura facility and vocal weight to differentiate between voices. The vocal range of classical performance covers about five octaves, from a low G 1 (in scientific pitch notation ) to a high G 6 , although the extremes are rare. More commonly

3726-540: The range is from a low C 2 to a high D 6 . Vocal ranges are grouped into overlapping types that each span about two octaves. Many singers fall between groups and can perform some parts in either type. Soprano range: The soprano is the highest singing voice. The typical soprano voice lies between C 4 (middle C) and C 6 ( high C ). The low extreme for sopranos is roughly A 3 (just below middle C). Most soprano roles do not extend above C 6 although there are several standard soprano roles that call for D 6 . At

3795-465: The same or opposite sex. As early as 1991 Roy was writing to the fellowship regarding same-sex acting out. In an article titled Principles Corroborating SA's Interpretation of Sexual Sobriety Roy wrote: "Ever since attending the April 1986 and 1987 NYC Marathons, I have been examining my own assumptions in the same-sex area. That year I wrote a letter to a same-sex member sharing my thoughts; it now has

3864-586: The same or opposite sex. The fellowship did not accept this and, as a result, in 1991 some SA members and groups left SA to form Sexual Recovery Anonymous (SRA), citing the SA sobriety definition's lack of endorsement of same sex relationships and committed relationships.

A survey was held, reaching out to various individual meetings through the regional councils and local Intergroups. A solid majority of responders felt that

4071-617: The sobriety definition did not require clarification. Agitation on the issue continued due to a perception that the ambiguous nature of the survey questions rendered the results meaningless. The Chair of the SA General Delegate Assembly summed up this ambiguity: "I received conflicting opinions about the meaning of the January 1999 vote that we do not need to clarify the SA sobriety definition. Many (probably most) were convinced this vote meant that we are already clear on

ESSAY, the bimonthly international SA newsletter, states the principle in its Editorial Philosophy : "SA’s sobriety definition is not debated, since it distinguishes SA from other sex addiction fellowships."

4209-496: The student and embarrassing to the teacher to keep striving for an ill-chosen goal. It is best to begin in the middle part of the voice and work upward and downward until the voice classifies itself. Most vocal pedagogues believe that it is essential to establish good vocal habits within a limited and comfortable range before attempting to classify the voice. When techniques of posture, breathing, phonation , resonation, and articulation have become established in this comfortable area,

Baritone subtypes: Baritones are often divided into different subcategories based on range, vocal color or timbre, the weight of the voice, and dexterity of the voice. Baritones are often broken down into seven subcategories: baryton-Martin, lyric baritone, kavalierbariton , Verdi baritone, dramatic baritone, baryton-noble , and bass-baritone . Bass range: The bass

4554-462: The true quality of the voice will emerge and the upper and lower limits of the range can be explored safely. Only then can a tentative classification be arrived at, and it may be adjusted as the voice continues to develop. Many vocal pedagogues suggest that teachers begin by assuming that a voice is of a medium classification until it proves otherwise. The reason for this is that the majority of individuals possess medium voices and therefore this approach

Basses are often broken down into six subcategories: basso profondo , basso buffo, bel canto bass, basso cantante, dramatic bass, and bass-baritone . A human voice will alter as a person gets older.
