#so I guess I do have a 3-octave range? from E3 to C6? hmm...neat.

My high school choir kid soprano self would be so impressed that my vocal range now includes (and is, in fact, the lowest note I can sing in my range now) E3. I even just read on Google that a typical Alto range is only to G3?????? And I can sing even lower than that?!?!?!?!??!? (Even if it's just barely. LOL I absolutely cannot get to D3 or lower no matter how hard I imagine hitting those notes.) I SWEAR TO GOD I USED TO BE A SOPRANO IN HIGH SCHOOL, and I could probably go up to at least like...D6? Gone are those days now, although perhaps if I practiced regularly I could hit those notes (or higher) again. I was never ever good at hitting low notes, though, and trying to project low notes was LITERALLY LAUGHABLE for me (and, hahaha, STILL IS). I remember when I sang "Rangers" by A Fine Frenzy as a duet with my best choir buddy (it was like our final project in choir that year - and that was my official last year in choir, too) and there are some low notes in that song and oh god I had to try so, so hard to project them and I really don't think I did (I still remember my choir buddy side-eyeing me in that moment when we performed it like 'WE PRACTICED THIS, LILY, AND FOR WHAT–'), so...yeah, singing low notes, much less projecting them, has always been an enormous struggle for me. Also I'm really, really bad at the whole "fake it 'til you make it" concept which, in a way, I think could've helped me more as a singer? Hmm...I'm curious to see if I'm able to sing these low notes better now that my range has naturally incorporated them.
