dorareever, remember that these charts are not the whole story in defining your voice. Lots of people have wide ranges, especially after some training in how to use the voice. The main "label" issue is the quality of the sound of your voice, which is unique to each individual and can change over time. When it comes to the contralto (alto) label, it is not the range so much that defines alto as the timbre and weight of the voice the dark, low tones being the best sound quality. If you want to sing about ten minutes into a tape and send it to Suzanne she could give you alot of professional feedback on your voice, its quality, its potential, what you are doing with it, etc.
