Tuner not hearing you?
- Allow the microphone. If you blocked it: in Chrome or Edge, click the icon left of the address bar → Microphone → Allow, then reload. In Safari on iPhone, tap aA → Website Settings → Microphone → Allow. In Firefox, click the crossed-out microphone in the address bar. On a Mac, also check System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone for your browser.
- Open the page in Safari or Chrome. In-app browsers (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) often block the microphone.
- Play one note at a time, louder. Sing toward the microphone from about an arm’s length. A quiet room helps.
- Wrong octave or jumping notes? Let the attack fade for a moment — the reading settles once the note is steady.

Tips for an accurate result
- Warm up for a few minutes first.
- Sing on an open vowel like “ah” at a comfortable volume. Do not push or strain.
- Hold each note for about half a second so the test counts it.
- Use a quiet room; music or voices nearby can add false notes. Press Reset to start again.

Questions
How do I find my vocal range?
Press Start, sing your lowest comfortable note and hold it for a moment, then slide up and hold your highest comfortable note. The test records the lowest and highest notes you held steadily.
What is the average vocal range?
Most untrained singers have a range of about 1.5 to 2 octaves. Trained singers often reach 2 to 3 octaves or more.
Can my vocal range change?
Yes. Warming up, practice and training usually extend the range, while tiredness or a cold can shorten it for a while.
Does the voice type result decide my part in a choir?
Not on its own. Voice type also depends on tone colour, where your voice is most comfortable and how it sounds at the edges of your range. Use the result as a starting point.
