What is Phil Collins’s vocal range?

Phil Collins's vocal range is commonly cited as F2 to C#5 (Db5) — about 2.7 octaves, or 32 semitones, and is usually classified as tenor.

Grainy tenor that stays conversational down low, then shoves into a shouted chest top. That cited span is wider than 48% of the 357 voices in this library.

Reading the numbers

  • No separate full-voice ceiling is cited, so the figures describe a range worked largely in full voice across its 32 semitones.
  • The closest range in the library belongs to Billie Joe Armstrong (F2–C5), within 1 semitone at both ends.
  • 4 other voices here are cited to the same C#5 ceiling.
  • Ranked by bottom note, it is the 44th lowest of the 357 voices here; by top note, the 280th highest.

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