I've been wondering...

I heard awhile ago that male Europeans in general have a higher pitched voice then that of American (or at least North American) males. Is this true?

I never heard that rumor before.

Kinda sounds like it sometimes...but that might just be a stereotype, so i dont think its always true.

I doubt its true. My entire extended Spanish family has some of the deepest voices I've heard.

Well, my choir teacher from last year said this, and it only recently came to mind. After all, you rarely here about tenors in the US, but a great many basses/baritones. While for Europe, I think I only have heard Nickbaldwin as a Baritone, I believe. The rest seem to be Tenors or higher.

well I was a tenor 2 in my school choir, but that's equivalent of a baritone. :wink:

Basically, I suppose. Though in my choir, we had Sopranos 1 & 2, same with Altos, same with Tenors, then Bases were either Baritones or just regular bases, and some of them could hit a low G I believe.
