    My vocal range is "spoken". I am one of the few people on the planet who have been asked not to sing in church. (Making a joyful noise is a close as I come!)

    I've been one of those spoiled tenors since junior high choir. I was recruited (or, auditioned) into the high school a cappella choir and selected into the madrigal group for chamber music. After that were endless years of church choir. But I was never good enough to suit a brother-in-law, a perfectionist, card-carrying member of SPEBSQSA (Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, Inc.)

    I gave up singing a couple years ago.

    I honestly couldn't tell you, since my singing ability apparently fell out of the hole in my tin bucket!!

    I avoid singing even in the shower since I seem to scare the animals.

    I checked bass-baritone, but as I've gotten older, I'm realistically a true bass. My range is from about a low D to and E above middle C. Stopped singing in the church choir a few years ago, mostly because of laziness, but also because I find I love to just belt out the bass line without worrying about whether I'm blending with the rest of the choir.

    I played guitar and led music in Spanish-speaking congregations for about 12 years in the 80's and 90's. My singing was definitely better than my guitar-playing.

    Range is F below the staff to C above the staff, bass clef. Early in the morning I go a step lower...LOL.. I sang my senior year in high school and noticed an improvement in my fledgling trumpet playing, at the time.

    I'm mostly a clarinet player, which I do a lot. I've resisted joining the church choir for 20 years!

    I like being an alto, I can sing with the guys around a campfire. Without effort, usually my voice is scratchy though.

    I'd have to say 4 feet, any further than that and my kids can't hear me tell them to take the garbage out.
