According to music critic Henry Pleasants "The voice itself was a typical Italian light baritone with a two octave range from G to G, declining, as it darkened in later years, to F to F and with greater potential at the top than he was commonly disposed to exploit.
Is Frank Sinatra a tenor?
His Singing Style
The baritone style is the second-lowest singing range for males while the tenor style is the highest type of male voice. It is hard to determine where exactly Sinatra's voice resided but most people agree that he was a baritone, though he often was close to a tenor too.
What is the rarest voice type?
Contralto. The contralto voice is the lowest of the female voices and by far and away the rarest. The contralto range is roughly from the F below middle C to a high F one octave above middle C almost exactly matching that of the male countertenor.
What made Frank Sinatra's voice so special?
Unlike many singers, classical or pop, his voice rarely slips back into his throat. He lets the tone resonate in his nasal cavities instead of becoming constricted in his throat and chest. In so doing, he is confirming to the finest classical operatic principles.”
