Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that voice categories are gender specific.
Male: -Tenor
-Baritone
-Bass

Female: -Soprano
-Mezzo soprano (sp?)
-Alto

A guy cannot be any of those female categories. Sure you may be able to sing in that range but you cannot be classified as a high alto as a male.

^ True although in a choir especially in a school. male/female may be assigned to a part that would normally be opposite their gender for proper balance.

Example: There are all female barbershop quartets
yet the positions that make up a barbershop quartet:
Lead
Tenor
Baritone
Bass (most important part if you ask me)
may be entirely assigned to females.

(I have nothing against women singing. but the voices dont' suit barbershop for me.)

so for individual songs you may be assigned to sing a part that is not your gender.
but were you to fill a resume for example you would base it off the following

High singing female: Soprano
Middle range singing female: Mezzo Soprano
Low singing Female: Alto

High Singing Male: Tenor
Middle Singing male: Baritone
Low singing male: Bass


I'm a Bass. (as is obvious in like ANY of my youtube videos)

when it comes males singing I follow this one rule. There are the men. and then there are the tenors!

lol. There is a joke feud in my choir, Tenor vs Bass and Baritone. It's really fun, so many pranks, and jokes.

[Grey]

lol this bugs me; "High" and "Low" parts don't exist...

Anyways, I'm a "low bass"/Bass 2. My lowest is a C sharp, two octaves below middle C.

[Sahrvergnugen]

I'm a high bass

[lukan13]

high alto, but i can get away with low soprano sometimes.teacher had me try soprano for carol of the bells (sops are quiet sometimes) and i nearly passed out trying to hit some of those notes.

[Rondo]

I'm a baritone. My range is from somewhere around a low A-flat to an F above middle C (but it's not very pretty XD). So I guess...high bass/low tenor, but I usually sing bass in choir. I can match pitch and do fine in choir, and I know a little bit of vocal and choral technique, but I'm not a soloist at all.

[Danica Syer]

I know I'm an alto but I'm not sure if I'm high or low alto. :/ I think high?

[Gildragon]

Your probably high alto. most altos are. only a few can really "truly" be on the low end

[kotoko]

Mine's purely soprano. I can do low, but I'd rather do high :P

[Reflection]

low soprano~
i used to be able to hit the really high ones but now I can barely get to a g or an a. ;~;!

[Et Cetera]

I can go from an Ab two octave below middle C to a really bad C5, so tenor?

[Shuri]

Seeing as my voice won't settle for another decade or so, I have no idea. But both my and my music teacher's bets are on a low tenor, although I can get fairly high if I'm well prepared. Still, even though my speaking voice is stable, my singing voice is constantly changing, and it's almost like every time I sing I'm hitting notes I couldn't before and missing notes I could. So, like I said, I suppose it's more a question of what I will be than what I am.
Oh, I know, I'll just go ahead and shock everyone and become a soprano! o:
