Do tenors use mixed voice?
Nope, tenors do not SING high C in full chest voice...it is in mixed chest/head voice... Luciano Pavarotti is probably the only tenor who you could say sings C in full voice...even Db...as he did in the recording of Cujus Animan from Rossini`s Stabat Mater..even then it was a mixture somewhat...
How high can tenors sing in mixed voice?
The tenor's vocal range extends up to C5. The low extreme for tenors is widely defined to be B2, though some roles include an A♭2 (two A♭s below middle C). At the highest extreme, some tenors can sing up to the second F above middle C (F5).
When should a tenor start mixing?
You need to support from your body - and not push the breath and compression. Baritones should start mixing around middle D or Eb until A 4 or so. Then it's falsetto above that.
What voice range is tenor?
Tenor, highest male vocal range, normally extending approximately from the second B below middle C to the G above; an extremely high voice, extending into the alto range, is usually termed a countertenor (q.v.). In instrument families, tenor refers to the instrument of more or less comparable range (e.g., tenor horn).
