What terms describe the contralto voice classification?
The contralto voice classification is characterized by its rich, deep resonance and the lowest female vocal range, typically spanning from around E3 to E5. Contraltos often possess a dark, full timbre and excel in the lower registers, making them well-suited for roles in operas and choral works. Common terms associated with contraltos include "alto," "mezzo-soprano" (in relation to range), and "coloratura" when referring to agility in the voice, although true contraltos are less common in this style. Additionally, they are often noted for their ability to convey powerful emotions through their singing.
