Pop music loves high choruses, so a lot of people with lower voices end up straining, cracking and deciding they “can’t sing”. A low voice is not a weakness. It is warm, rich and great on a mic when the song sits where it should.

How to tell if a song fits a low voice
- Find the highest note of the chorus and hum it. If you have to push or squeeze, skip it or sing it an octave lower.
- Listen for where the verses sit. Low verses are a good sign. If the verses already feel high, the chorus will be worse.
- Male artists with low voices (Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, Chris Stapleton) and female altos (Lana Del Rey, Tracy Chapman, Amy Winehouse) are safe places to look.
