Thank God for reverb.
For those of you who can't sing that high, you can always take a violin bow to a saw.

Range is how many diferent octaves your voice can sing, and Im sorry but that stuff annoys me. I play bass for a reason. I mean its impressive, but not anything Id freak out over. |

The other extreme.
Me personally I have no range whatsoever. Just a very very low drone (NOT AS LOW AS THAT FRIGGIN GUY THOUGH!!), so I dont sing much.

At a certain point (where you think you've reached your highest note) you can go higher if you switch to use only a part of your vocal cords instead of their full length. This is, however, extremely difficult. I've managed to go up two-three seminotes above my highest falsetto note in this "flute register" as it's called, but that's it.
I googled a little on "flute register" and this article came up: http://www.vocalfocus.com/whistle.html. Interesting one.
That bass voice in the video 4StringFury posted was wicked. That's about two octaves lower than my voice, I believe. I would like to have a bass voice like that. Would be good to impress girls with, perhaps...

She's pretty derned cute, but I can't get in to that Minnie-Ripperton-on-helium squealing noise.
