Reading the numbers
- The ceiling clears the conventional tenor top of C5 by 10 semitones.
- The span runs 9 semitones past the median voice in this library (32 semitones).
- 6 other voices here carry the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
- No separate full-voice ceiling is cited, so the figures describe a range worked largely in full voice across its 41 semitones.
- Ranked by bottom note, it is the 44th lowest of the 357 voices here; by top note, the 116th highest.
Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
