Lucious.

Are you saying that each category of vocal range carries with it the potential for only one octave? I.E.: Soprano is one octave, below that, Alto another, below that Tenor another? I had always thought that, with each voice came a range that overlapped a little those above and below.

If, however, what you say is correct, I am a soprano, an alto and have some tenor capabilities.

However, if my understanding is correct, it is not possible that she has a mere 3 octaves. I have 3 octaves (can sing the "Doh Rey Mi" song 3 times straight through), and come nowhere near her range.
