Vocal Texture

The types of vocal texture are as follows-

  • Breathy sound
  • Cry in Voice (vocal fry)
  • Spikes
  • Velvet (rounder, resonant)
  • Whispers
  • Character
It can also be grouped up in terms of the singing style of a person-

  • Soprano- The highest form of female voice, usually ranging between middle C and high C.
  • Alto- Lowest form of female voice.
  • Tenor- Highest form of male voice, usually ranging from C1 to C5
  • Bass- The lowest form of male voice, supporting the bottom end of the soundscape in a choir.
  • Falsetto- A vocal technique in which the edges of the vocal chords are used, enabling the singer to hit notes above their vocal range.
  • Choir- A group of voices usually containing all of the above layered on top of one another.
