Reading the numbers
- That floor is a full 10 semitones beneath where a mezzo-soprano's range conventionally starts (A3).
- No separate full-voice ceiling is cited, so the figures describe a range worked largely in full voice across its 37 semitones.
- The weight of the range is above middle C: 24 semitones up there against 13 below.
- 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 212th lowest of the 357 voices here; by top note, the 51st highest.
