Free vocal tools for women coming back to singing
Nine small tools that each answer one question about your voice: where your range sits, which voice type that makes you, where your voice changes gear, how close you land on a note, how to warm up, what note to start on, and what key a song should be in. All of them run in your browser. Audio is processed on your device and never uploaded.
Vocal Range Test
Sing three notes and see your lowest, your highest, your range in octaves and your likely voice type on a piano.
Take the test → No micVocal Range Calculator
Already know your lowest and highest notes from a lesson or a choir chart? Pick them and get your range and voice type without singing.
Open the calculator → Listen and compareVocal Range Chart
Six voice types on a piano keyboard. Tap one to hear its range, add your own notes to see where you sit, and save the chart as a PNG.
See the chart → Before you singWarm-Up Routine Builder
Pick how long you have and what you need from your voice today. You get a guided routine with a timer and a reference tone for every exercise.
Build a warm-up → AccuracyPitch Match Test
Hear a note, sing it back, see how close you landed. Eight notes across your range, scored in cents, with your steadiest zone and the one that drifts.
Test your pitch → RegistersPassaggio Finder
Slide up a scale and mark the note where your voice flips from chest voice to head voice. That seam is your passaggio, and knowing it changes how you practise.
Find your passaggio → No micVoice Type Test
Soprano, mezzo-soprano or contralto. Put in your lowest and most comfortable top note, or answer six questions about how your voice behaves.
Find my voice type → Starting notesOnline Pitch Pipe
Tap any note to hear it, or hold it. Pick a song's key and it plays the chord and your starting note, pitched for your section.
Open the pitch pipe → Song keysChord Transposer
Move any song up or down into a key that fits your voice. Lyrics stay in place, and it suggests a capo if you play guitar.
Transpose a song →Which one first?
If you have not sung in years, do them in this order. Each one feeds the next.
- Warm up first. Five minutes in the routine builder is enough. A cold voice reads narrower than it is, and the top notes are the first to go quiet.
- Find your range. The range test if you can sing out loud where you are; the calculator if you already know your two notes or cannot make noise right now.
- See where that puts you. The chart shows your band against all six voice types, and you can hear each one.
- Then the finer questions. The passaggio finder tells you where your voice changes gear, and the pitch test tells you how accurately you land on a note.
Treat every result as a snapshot of this week, not a verdict. A voice that has been quiet for years often measures as a lower voice type in week one and a clear mezzo a couple of months later, with nothing about the singer having changed except use.
Common questions
Do I need to make an account?
No. Every tool on this page runs without an account. The range test, pitch test, passaggio finder and voice type test offer to email you your result; that is optional and it is how you join the Vocal Refresh waitlist if you want to.
Is anything recorded?
No. The tools that use your microphone analyse the sound on your device as you sing and keep nothing. No audio is uploaded or stored.
Do the tools work on a phone?
Yes. They are built to run in Safari and Chrome on a phone. The microphone tools will ask for permission the first time; if you would rather not, the range test, passaggio finder and calculator all have a by-ear or type-your-notes option.
Are these tools only for women?
The coaching behind them is written for women returning to singing after years away, because that is who Vocal Refresh is for. The tools themselves handle the full range from bass to soprano.
Not sure where to start? Start with a number.
Two minutes, three notes, and you have your range and voice type. Everything else on this page makes more sense once you have that.
