Correctly identifying your vocal range on your Spotlight profile<\/h3>\n

Spotlight provides two different ways to describe your singing voice on your performer CV.<\/p>\n

Skills<\/h4>\n

Under skills, you will find a Music and Dance section, \u00a0with various descriptions of singing voices. You\u2019ll find options for your voice type \u2013 bass, baritone, contralto, soprano and so on. You\u2019ll also find skills listed for specialist singing techniques, including rock singing, jazz singing, a capella and yodelling, amongst many others!<\/p>\n

Vocal Range<\/h4>\n

As well as classifying your\u00a0voice type<\/a>\u00a0and specialist technique, you can provide your vocal\u00a0range<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 the highest and lowest notes that you\u2019re comfortable singing. Casting directors can search on these values to find performers who can hit the high or low notes required by a specific role, making it easier for them to match the right performers with the right parts.<\/p>\n

Spotlight\u2019s system uses the\u00a0scientific pitch notation<\/a>\u00a0system, based on the 88 keys on a standard grand piano. If you\u2019re not familiar with this system, the diagram below will show you how the options on our site correspond to the piano keyboard and to the most common voice types.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Experienced singers may also want to supply their \u2018belt register\u2019 \u2013 a specialist singing technique that may give you a different vocal range to your ordinary singing voice. The belt register is not included when casting directors search for a specific vocal range, but we\u2019ve included it for performers who want to display this on their Spotlight performer CV.<\/p>\n
