What is Freddie Mercury’s vocal range?
Freddie Mercury's vocal range is commonly cited as F2 to F6 — about 4.0 octaves, or 48 semitones, and is usually classified as baritone. Full voice is cited up to around F5; everything above that comes from falsetto or head voice.
Baritone core sung as a tenor: fast vibrato, hard consonants, and a sudden switch into piercing falsetto. That cited span is wider than 96% of the 357 voices in this library.
