I try to sing alto . From about F/G below middle C - to the D an octave above middle C - but that is hard unless I am on a good day .

C below middle, to G above middle, in a fair wind, with everyone facing the other way.... ;D Not a hugely useful range, and just pitched so when I find myself in embarrassing community vocalisation sessions (weddings, funerals), I can't manage to fit the tune to it - and am not clever enough to improvise harmony.

Something silly like the e below middle c to the a three octaves higher than middle C. I'm a soprano.
Bottom notes are rather useful when teaching.

ppppo
I can sing from about the F/G below middle C too and up to probably the E an octave above middle C - but I can't always get it.
Could anyone tell me voice you think I am - would I be an alto?

I'd say you were an alto, that's very similar to my range. I'll leave the singing experts to tell you properly though.

Thank for that! I thought I probably was but wasn't really sure. I wanted to join my uni choir but haven't done much singing so wasn't really sure what voice I was. I'd really like to get some lessons - I play flute and piano so didn't have much time to do singing as well!

E below middle C to the Eb (E on a good day) an octave above. Quietly. In an empty room. Nobody knows my range in a full room

Confidently or actually?? ;D - confident range of about an octave, actual range of over 2 on a good day. Exactly where it starts and stops depends on time of day and whether I am warmed up though...

My very bottom note is an A in the tenor range (not the one below mid C, the one and octave below that). My usual top note is a Bflat in the soprano range (i.e. nearly 2 octaves about mid C) but I shocked myself yesterday by hitting the C two above - not ropily either, nice and full and round sounding. My most comfortable range is probably very low D through to about a G (top of stave) - so what's that? about 2 and a half octaves in my confident range.

Mine's E below middle C (Though thats ropey) to A three octaves above middle C.
Although I can sing alto (useful for sightreading and as a one off) I am a lyric- coloratura. soprano.
Rang isn't everything. Vocal Timbre is as important. I could not classify your voice until I've heard you sing. And teaching singing is my job!

When singing in a choir I always sang alto, but the last time was 4 years ago. My range is from f to g'' though I can stretch that a little when singing in a group.

meerkat, I didn't realise how big your range is wow, impressive! You're a whole choir all by yourself! I am basically a sop, but can't go very high - but I don't think I have the vocal quality of a mezzo, my voice is lighter.

About E below middle C to a "usable in performance" E flat three octaves higher, though have been known to produce G above that when prodded with a hat pin! A light, coloratura voice, though the bottom end has developed bashing out notes with the glut of mezzos I have at the moment.

Anne I've been known to air my top F in performance. The canary fancier's like to her "Der Holle Rache" trotted out from time to time...unless you sound like Florence Foster Jenkins!
I only included the aria in my recital repertoire when I knew it was secure though.
