I remember watching "Hello Dolly" and one of the male leads (Head Clerk) had a high-pitched voice.
Later, I heard him sing a song from "Phantom of the Opera" and was surprised that he could 'go
low' when necessary for the song. I'm sure he had a lot of training in between. I think his name is
Michael Crawford.
Anyway, it seems like you could train yourself to sing at the lower register... however, as mentioned
above, a high-pitched voice is NOT a curse.
I'm asked to sing "tenor" for the church choir, but I consider myself a Baritone at least, if not a Bass!
The fact that I'm willing to 'reach' for those higher notes 'makes' me a tenor in the eyes of others.
Please communicate with the moderators of your local Song Circle and help them out if you notice
that the keys of the songs they generally sing are too low for yourself and some other members of
the 'Circle'.
It's been mentioned in a thread before, that when creating a songbook for a song circle, one of the
concerns is what KEYs to use for the final renditions. It's not always about what keys are easy to
play - especially, if everyone has difficulty singing in those keys. However, some keys are more
male-friendly (lower) and some are more female-friendly (higher), generally speaking. And those
of us who have the responsibility of creating 'community' songbooks really do not mean to make
the singability difficult for anyone
Selecting 'the KEY' for a song can be a hassle, especially if the 'best' key is something like Bb or Eb
or F# or Ab!! That said, not every song should be 'released' in C, F, G, A, or D.
By the way, if you had your 'druthers, what keys seem to be most comfortable for you? Example,
I do 'Tip Toe' in C, 'Happy Birthday' in F, 'Blue Moon' in A, etc. I'd really appreciate your input
