What kind of voice am I?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if you can help me out with determining what voice type I am.

With my normal, non-falsetto belly voice, I go from D2-A4 (A4 pushed a lot), D2-F4 pretty comfortably, D2 is a little more quiet then my E2 which I can sing pretty loudly.

My falsetto is quite odd... It can start at C4, then it goes to F#5, then if I keep "going", it snaps in at A5 and gets louder and really stops at around D6. (Which is funny, but it's cool.)

So what do you think I am?

Primarily you're a baritone, although your range is a little expended in both directions, which would make you a tessitura baritone. I don't really factor the falsetto into the equation too much.

Ok, thanks a lot man.

With practice you can choose to go up or down, whichever you prefer.

And if you really have talent you can probably reach something similar to Bobby Mcferrin's range. It will take a lot of work though.

Good luck if you decide to do it :P

Well, before I had a voice from F2-D4, so it's defiantly improving. I'm trying to get it to go up, cause my singing idols are Robert Plant/Chris Cornell/David Gilmour. Mainly Chris Cornell because Soundgarden is one of my three all-time favorite bands.

One of these things is not like the other
