The primary difference between a bass and a baritone lies in their vocal range and timbre. A bass typically has the lowest vocal range, usually extending from E2 to E4, characterized by a deep, rich quality. In contrast, a baritone sits between the bass and tenor, with a range typically from A2 to A4, offering a warmer, fuller sound that can convey a broader emotional palette. Additionally, the baritone voice can handle more lyrical and dramatic roles, while the bass often takes on more authoritative or comedic characters.
