Voice classification in music and acoustics is based on the range of pitches a singer can produce. The most common classifications for female voices are soprano, mezzo-soprano, and contralto. Sopranos typically sing in the highest vocal register, while contraltos have a lower range compared to sopranos but higher than tenors.
Understanding the vocal range helps in selecting appropriate music pieces and roles for singers. Each classification has its unique tessitura and vocal characteristics.
