A bass (/beɪs/ BAYSS) is a type of classical male singing voice and has the lowest vocal range of all voice types. According to The New Grove Dictionary of Opera, a bass is typically classified as having a vocal range extending from around the second E below middle C to the E above middle C (i.e., E2–E4).[1] Its tessitura, or comfortable range, is normally defined by the outermost lines of the bass clef. Categories of bass voices vary according to national style and classification system.
Italians favour subdividing basses into the basso cantante (singing bass), basso buffo ("funny" bass), or the dramatic basso profondo (low bass). The American system[2] identifies the bass-baritone, comic bass, lyric bass, and dramatic bass.
The German fach system[3] offers further distinctions: Spielbass (Bassbuffo), Schwerer Spielbass (Schwerer Bassbuffo), Charakterbass (Bassbariton), and Seriöser Bass. These classification systems can overlap. Rare is the performer who embodies a single fach without also touching repertoire from another category.
The terms sounding range, written range, designated range, duration range and dynamic range have specific meanings.
The sounding range[3] refers to the pitches produced by an instrument, while the written range[3] refers to the compass (span) of notes written in the sheet music, where the part is sometimes transposed for convenience. A piccolo, for example, typically has a sounding range one octave higher than its written range.[4] The designated range is the set of notes the player should or can achieve while playing. All instruments have a designated range, and all pitched instruments have a playing range. Timbre, dynamics, and duration ranges are interrelated and one may achieve registral range at the expense of timbre. The designated range is thus the range in which a player is expected to have comfortable control of all aspects.
The duration range is the difference between the shortest and longest rhythm used. Dynamic range is the difference between the quietest and loudest volume of an instrument, part or piece of music.

There are many different philosophies on what is most important when it comes to singing. I feel the most important is Passion. It’s pulling the heartstrings of the person listening to the song. I have gotten into sooo many arguments with other vocal coaches about this very thing. Here are the six main aspects to think about or to bring up to your own vocal coach:
1. Breathing – This is going to sound weird, but almost everyone breathes wrong in the recording arts industry. It’s the most common comment I’ll make when I watch singing TV shows or even listening to a CD. And yes, you can tell even with breaths taken out of the sound recording. Your breathing is very important. Here’s a few pointers to take with you now: Don’t use your shoulders when you breathe. Breathe from your gut. Instead of pushing out your chest when you inhale, push out your stomach. Inhale through your nose. I know these sound like mundane things but you’ll be amazed at what they can do for you.
2. Pitch – This is where some of the arguments come in. To a lot of vocal coaches and music teachers, they feel this is the most important thing. I have to disagree. It is important, don’t get me wrong, but I have heard a lot of amazing performances and the singer didn’t hit ALL the notes. Sometimes you just get lost in the performance, which isn’t a bad thing, but try your best to be mindful of your pitch, when you can. Tips: Don’t be afraid to go for the note. Even if you feel it’s out of your range. You never know, you might surprise yourself. If it doesn’t feel right, then don’t do it. You may potentially wreck your voice permanently. (Yes, one note can do that if you try too much. I’ve seen it happen!)
3. Tone – Your tone is the unique sound of your voice. Whether it’s raspy or pure or a certain twang. Again, here is where I get into arguments with other coaches. In classical, having the same tone as the person next to you can be valuable in a choir setting. But in the mainstream music industry, sounding the same isn’t a good thing, well unless you want to work on kiddy shows for the rest of your life. All singers sound different, and most classical teachers will tell you it needs to be fixed. That is not the case. I don’t even believe it is in classical. Most well known classical artists sound different. Before I even had a “trained” ear, I could tell the difference between classical artists. Your tone is what sets you part from everyone. Tips: Use what you got. There’s nothing wrong with that!
