Singing Carrots Tools: What Each One Does, and Which Question It Answers

Updated October 2026.

Singing Carrots is a set of tools that listen to you sing and tell you something true about it: how wide your range is, how often you land the note, which songs sit in your voice, whether that long note held. Most of them are free and take two minutes; the AI vocal coach, which strings them into lessons, is the paid part. This page is the map — which tool answers which question, what the result means, and where on this blog each one is explained — so that you can start with the question you actually have instead of with the menu. If you only want one thing to do first: take the range test, then the pitch test, then find a song that fits.

What is my vocal range? The vocal range test

You sing your lowest comfortable note and your highest, into any microphone, and the test reads them and names the span — E2 to G4, say — and the voice type it most resembles. It’s the most used tool on the site and the right first step, because almost every other decision (which songs, which key, which exercises) depends on it. Two things it can’t do: it can’t tell a true voice type apart from a range that happens to overlap one, and it measures what you can do today, not your ceiling — retest monthly and the number moves. The test’s documentation covers how to take it well; what vocal range is covers what the result means and how it grows, and what a voice type is why the label matters less than people think.

Do I sing in tune? The pitch accuracy test

Two minutes: the test plays short melodies inside your range, you sing them back, and it scores what percentage of notes you landed and shows which way you missed — flat or sharp, and on which notes. The score is the honest number behind “am I a good singer?”, and it’s the one that moves fastest with practice: beginners in our seven-month data gained 16.5 points in four weeks. What it can’t judge is tone, breath or strain; rate my singing: what AI can and can’t judge draws that line, and what a voice test is explains how to read both tests together.

What note am I singing? The pitch monitor

A live tuner for the voice: you sing, and the screen shows the note and how far above or below its center you are, continuously. It’s the tool for exercises — sirens, slides, the register break — where you want to see what the voice is doing while it does it, and for checking a single note against a piano. It’s free, it runs in the browser, and there’s a widget version teachers and bloggers can embed on their own sites.

Which songs fit my voice? Song search, famous singers’ ranges, the key finder

The song search holds about 59,000 songs with the vocal range each one needs, and filters them by your range, voice type, genre and difficulty — so you practice on songs that sit in your voice instead of forcing the ones that don’t, which is the most common beginner mistake there is. Each song page shows the original key, the range, how many semitones to transpose if it’s too high, and a karaoke video. Set your range once (from the test) and the search remembers it; the filter “original key only” finds songs you can sing with the record.

Two companions. Famous singers’ vocal ranges lists the recorded range of thousands of artists, which is how you find out that your range overlaps Adele’s more than you thought, and which of a singer’s songs are in reach. The song key finder tells you a song’s key and the shift that would put it in your range. If you’ve wanted to know which notes a specific recording actually uses, how to find the notes in any song is the method.

How do I practice pitch every day? Pitch training and custom melodies

The pitch training game is the daily workout: melodies played on a virtual piano, inside your range, that you sing back with live feedback, in levels that get harder as your accuracy climbs. It works like a language app — streaks, levels, a leaderboard — and that’s deliberate, because the thing that improves pitch is not any single exercise but doing one every day. Two views: the piano, and a notesheet view that shows the same melody in standard notation on a staff with your pitch tracked against it, so the game doubles as sight-singing practice; the transposition controls let you sing the same line in several keys. The first levels are free; the full ladder is part of membership.

My custom melodies lets you upload any MIDI file — a song’s vocal line, a choir part, an exercise your teacher gave you — and practice it with the same feedback. There’s a starter set of free MIDI songs to try it with.

Can I hold a note? Sustain training

Sustain training is for the skill scales don’t touch: holding a note steady, in tune, for as long as the breath allows. Pick a note, listen, sing and hold; every five seconds of accurate sustain earns a level on that note, and the range fills in with color as you go. It’s a breath-support exercise disguised as a game, and the place to work on the long notes at the end of phrases — the ones that, in our data, account for most of the flat notes singers miss. The sustain training post has the detail; breath support is the technique underneath it.

What’s in this recording? Recorder, voice analyser, spectrogram

The recorder captures a take in the browser and shows you the pitch line afterwards — the review tool, for the weekly recording every practice plan on this blog recommends. The voice analyser does the same for an audio file you upload: the notes in it, the range it spans, where it drifted. The spectrogram shows the overtones, for the curious and for anyone working on resonance who wants to see what “ringing” looks like. All three are free.

Can something coach me through all of it? The AI vocal coach

The Singing Carrots AI vocal coach is the paid product and the thing the tools were built toward: it tests your range, plans each session around your level, listens to every exercise and adjusts the next one, keeps the work inside your comfortable range, and remembers your progress between sessions. It runs on the web and as an app on iPhone and Android, and a four-week beginner course is built into it. What it is and isn’t — what a microphone can judge and what only a human can — is the subject of what an AI vocal coach is; the results from seven months of use are in who improves most; and is Singing Carrots safe? answers the question people are too polite to ask. Membership tiers and prices are on the pricing page, from $119.99 a year.

Keeping track: repertoire and statistics

Songs you find and practice can be saved to a repertoire, so you stop re-searching and start building a set list; the statistics dashboard keeps your range, accuracy and practice frequency over time, which is what makes the question “am I actually improving?” answerable with a graph instead of a feeling. Over 300,000 singers have joined; the numbers above are theirs.

Something not working?

Almost every problem with the tools is the microphone: the browser hasn’t been given permission, or gave it once and forgot. Fixing microphone issues on Singing Carrots is the two-minute walkthrough, including the clear-the-cookies step for when permission is stuck. For teachers who want the tools inside their own lessons, there’s Carrots Studio, and the pitch-monitor widget above.

Frequently asked questions

Is Singing Carrots free?
The tests and tools are: the range test, pitch test, pitch monitor, song search, artist ranges, key finder, recorder, analyser and spectrogram cost nothing and need no account. The AI vocal coach, the full pitch-training ladder and the courses are membership features, from $119.99 a year.

Which tool should I start with?
The range test, then the pitch test. Together they take four minutes and give you the two numbers everything else depends on; then use the song search to find something that fits, and the pitch training game for the daily reps.

Do I need an account?
Not for the free tools. An account saves your range so the song search and the games use it, keeps your results over time, and is required for the coach.

How accurate are the tests?
Pitch detection from a microphone is reliable for pitch, range and timing — what note, how steady, how long. It is not reliable for tone, breath support or strain, and the tools don’t pretend otherwise. Take the tests in a quiet room with the microphone close, and retest on a different day before trusting a surprising result.
