1. I run the gamut from bass to tenor 2 range.
No (*&%ing way can I hit the high tenor notes without going into a really bad falsetto though.

I also play a bunch of instruments, so I can help accompany too.

2. I am a Soprano
1st Soprano if I warm up properly, 2nd Soprano if I don't. :D

3. I'm an alto...
although I can sing second soprano too if people need me too. :-)

I was in choir all the way through school up until the end of grade 10....my school choir sucks, which is unfortunate, because I really do love to sing.

4. I think I'm contralto--not sure, as I've never taken the time to find out
from someone who "knows."

I'm not a very talented singer, though. I am mediocre at best. Still, I do chorus work well enough. :)

12. Yeah, my voice ain't the greatest but I do just fine in chorus settings.
Helps that I'm a halfway decent sightreader too. :)

5. I sing contralto.
Leave it to me to get stuck in the niche hardly anybody writes for.

For popular modern music, I generally have better luck with pieces written for men. For choral pieces, I can generally muddle through with the alto part, though I've wound up supplementing a thin tenor section more than once.

7. Me too, but our contributions have always been way underrated.
Remember that the wonderful Karen Carpenter (no shame, I LOVE her voice) was one of us!

13. I'm an excellent choral singer, but alas I will be in Florida during the inauguration
