  1. Many years ago when I took vocal lessons as a child, I was classified as an "alto," and sometimes sang with the boys in chorus, although I could also sing soprano. I think it was more because of the darker tone of my voice. As an adult, I find that I can sing along with contraltos (Amy Winehouse, Grace Slick, Nico, Stevie Nicks), but when it comes to imitation, I'm MOST comfortable and sound most impressive, I think, singing songs that were meant for tenors with a good falsetto range (Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Robert Plant, "Dream On" era Steven Tyler). I think perhaps because instead of singing in a "pretty" head voice, I sing falsetto in the way a man would sing - Does that make sense? It's like my range is the same as a contralto or even a mezzo-soprano, but it's easier for me to sing like a man singing in a similar range. I love singing Freddie Mercury, especially the high parts! Is there really such thing as a female tenor? Is there something in the timbre/quality of a high tenor voice that would be different than a contralto singing the same notes? Also, could it be my tendency to sing with a bit of natural rasp that makes it more comfortable to sing male classic rock? I've just been puzzled by this comfort/ease in singing all OVER the place in a man's range, but not being as comfortable with female singers.
