List of basses in non-classical music The bass singing voice has a vocal range that lies around the second E below middle C to the E above middle C (i.e., E–E). As with the contralto singing voice being the rarest female voice type, the bass voice is the rarest for males, and has the lowest vocal range of all voice types. However, the bass voice is determined not only by its vocal range, but also by its timbre, which tends to be darker than that of a baritone voice.
List of contraltos in non-classical music The contralto singing voice has a vocal range that lies between the F below "middle C" (F) to two Fs above middle C (F) and is the lowest type of female voice. In the lower and upper extremes, some contralto voices can sing from two Bs below middle C (B) to two B♭ s above middle C (B♭ ). Although both men and women may have voices in the contralto vocal range, the word is usually used only in the context of a female singer.
Range (music) In music, the range of a musical instrument is the distance from the lowest to the highest pitch it can play. For a singing voice, the equivalent is "vocal range". The range of a musical part is the distance between its lowest and highest note.
Basso profondo Basso profondo (Italian: "deep bass"), sometimes basso profundo or contrabass, is the bass voice subtype with the lowest vocal range.
Bass (voice type) A bass ( ) is a type of classical male singing voice and has the lowest vocal range of all voice types. According to "The New Grove Dictionary of Opera", a bass is typically classified as having a vocal range extending from around the second E below middle C to the E above middle C (i.e., E–E). Its tessitura, or comfortable range, is normally defined by the outermost lines of the bass clef. Categories of bass voices vary according to national style and classification system. Italians favour subdividing basses into the "basso cantante" (singing bass), "basso buffo" ("funny" bass), or the dramatic "basso profondo" (low bass). The American system identifies the bass-baritone, comic bass, lyric bass, and dramatic bass. The German "fach" system offers further distinctions: Spielbass (Bassbuffo), Schwerer Spielbass (Schwerer Bassbuffo), Charakterbass (Bassbariton), and Seriöser Bass. These classification systems can overlap. Rare is the performer who embodies a single "fach" without also touching repertoire from another category.

The low extreme for tenors is roughly A♭ (two A♭ s below middle C). At the highest extreme, some tenors can sing up to two Fs above middle C (F).
Vocal fry register The vocal fry register (also known as pulse register, laryngealization, pulse phonation, creak, croak, popcorning, glottal fry, glottal rattle, glottal scrape, or strohbass) is the lowest vocal register and is produced through a loose glottal closure which will permit air to bubble through slowly with a popping or rattling sound of a very low frequency. During this phonation, the arytenoid cartilages in the larynx are drawn together which causes the vocal folds to compress rather tightly and become relatively slack and compact. This process forms a large and irregularly vibrating mass within the vocal folds that produces the characteristic low popping or rattling sound when air passes through the glottal closure. The register (if well controlled) can extend far below the modal voice register, in some cases up to 8 octaves lower, such as in the case of Tim Storms who holds the world record for lowest frequency note ever produced by a human, a G−7, which is only 0.189 Hz. Humans however can only hear sounds down to 12 Hz under ideal conditions.
