Reading the numbers

  • Full voice is cited to within 3 semitones of the top note, so this reads as a chest-dominant voice rather than one that flips into a lighter register.
  • The ceiling is modest for a tenor — only 6 of the 127 tenors here stop lower.
  • 5 other voices here carry the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
  • One of 5 singers from Ireland charted here.
  • Ranked by bottom note, it is the 111th lowest of the 357 voices here; by top note, the 285th highest.

Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
