Good Songs for Deep Male Voices
The general range for Bass is A3-D4. Most songs below fall within the range exactly, but I have included some popular songs that go higher or lower for those trained singers with a wider range. The vocal range listed with each song will help guide you to finding songs that are easy for you to sing. If you are unsure of your range, select the songs that go no higher than D4. Songs that go lower are fine as long as you stay out of the vocal fry.
