Well...that depends. If you're out to impress a lady, your range will be as wide as Montana. However, iffin you're married and your wife demands you to sing your range...it'll be like taking out the garbage to you. You'll grumble and tell her your throat is sore, you don't feel like it, then you'll half-heartedly sing her favorite song to appease her. At least you'll get lucky with her that nignt! smile

Seriously though, I've often had the same question about range. Hummingbird kind of answered it, but I still don't quite get it. I missed something in one of these posts. Is there a certain universal key to start out at to judge how high or low you can go? Sorry again if I missed the explanation.
