What is Judy Garland’s vocal range?
Judy Garland's vocal range is commonly cited as F3 to D#5 (Eb5) — about 1.8 octaves, or 22 semitones, and is usually classified as contralto.
Contralto with a tremulous forward vibrato, thick chest resonance, and an audible catch on held notes. That cited span is wider than 4% of the 357 voices in this library.
- Signature song
- Over the Rainbow

Reading the numbers
- The span is 10 semitones short of the library median (32 semitones) — a compact working range.
- Prominent from 1939, earlier than all but 6 voices in this library.
- Both extremes stay inside the conventional contralto band (F3–F5) — a textbook placement rather than an outlier.
- The closest range in the library belongs to Amy Grant (F3–E5), within 1 semitone at both ends.
- 4 other voices here are cited to the same D#5 ceiling.
