A countertenor is a male singer who can sing as high as a soprano or mezzo-soprano. The countertenor is the rarest of all voice types.
Soprano: this is the highest singing voice, with the highest tessitura. It is also the most common female voice. Sopranos are given prominent singing roles, and are often the protagonists of the opera.
There are six main vocal ranges: soprano, mezzo-soprano, contralto, tenor, baritone, and bass.
A person's timbre is what makes their voice unique and recognizable. An clear example would be that timbre is what makes a trumpet sound different from a piano.
When it comes to singing somebody who is naturally gifted is able to mimic without the need for exterior guidance. They're able to listen to a singer on the radio, hear exactly what they're doing and then reproduce that in their own voices.
The Contralto voice is the lowest among the female voices, and it is certainly more unique among females, as the typical female voices would probably either be the Soprano or Mezzo Soprano voices.
Perfect pitch is a rare talent, with less than 5 people in every 10,000 possessing the ability. It's thought that nature, nurture and environmental factors all play a role in perfect pitch. As the ability tends to run in families, it's thought there may be a genetic element involved.

So it tickled me to discover my voice was referenced in a recent dating study from the University of Sussex which found that men find a lower tone more attractive.
Males and females have different vocal fold sizes, and the shorter vocal folds of women makes their pitch higher. Furthermore, some women simply have more naturally higher-pitched voices than others.
The Soprano vocal range is the highest female voice type with a tessitura of C4-C6 and the lightest vocal weight of them all.
As a result, women find men with lower-pitched voices more attractive. It's the opposite for men, who are more attracted to women with higher-pitched voices, which is perceived as a marker for femininity. Attractiveness in the voice is important for the impressions we give our potential partners.
What makes a voice sexy and attractive to you? As you might expect, women find lower-pitched voices more masculine and attractive. Men's lower voices are associated with higher levels of testosterone (Simmons, Peters, & Rhodes, 2011). In contrast, men prefer women with higher-pitched voices.
Husky voices signal "sexual interest" and can help women stand out from the crowd, say researchers. Perhaps less surprisingly, the study found men also drop their pitch when they meet women they are attracted to.
