Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Alanis Morissette uses that range
Consonants land hard and early, words crowd ahead of the beat, and long notes get bent well off center before resolving. Sudden yelps jump into a bright head voice, sometimes an octave above where the phrase was sitting. Those bends work only because they start and finish on pitch; students slide vaguely and land nowhere, then copy the nasal edge by squeezing rather than placing it forward.

Reading the numbers
- That floor is a full 10 semitones beneath where a mezzo-soprano's range conventionally starts (A3).

- The closest range in the library belongs to Barbra Streisand (A#2–C6), within 1 semitone at both ends.
- Ranked by bottom note, it is the 356th lowest voice in this library; by top note, the 113th highest.
