What is Sting’s vocal range?
Sting's vocal range is commonly cited as D#2 (Eb2) to E5 — about 3.1 octaves, or 37 semitones, and is usually classified as tenor. Full voice is cited up to around B4; everything above that comes from falsetto or head voice.
Reedy, narrow tenor with clipped phrasing; takes upper notes in a strained mix, not a full belt. That cited span is wider than 70% of the 357 voices in this library.

Reading the numbers
- D#2 is a deep floor for a tenor — lower than all but 3 of the 127 tenors here.
- That floor is a full 9 semitones beneath where a tenor's range conventionally starts (C3).
- Roughly 14% of the span sits above the cited full-voice ceiling of B4.
- One of only 6 New Wave voices in this library.
- The closest range in the library belongs to Eddie Vedder (D2–E5), within 1 semitone at both ends.
