alto voice

Deep female singing

An alto voice is the lowest female singing voice, or the highest adult male voice when produced through falsetto or countertenor technique.

In choral music, altos sing the part below soprano and above tenor.

The term distinguishes the voice type from the part itself, though the two often overlap: She has a natural alto voice.
