G3-D5 is the range for which voice type?

This question tests how ranges map to voice types. A voice type is defined by where a singer typically sings comfortably, what notes lie in its tessitura, and how the range sits overall in the spectrum of male and female voices. The range from G below middle C up to D above middle C sits in the higher part of the female voice territory. That span is tall enough to cover the brighter, upper notes associated with a soprano, while many other voice types—tenor and baritone on the male side, and the lower-alto end—don’t consistently reach that high note. Therefore, this range aligns best with the soprano category.
