Is Lady Gaga an soprano mezzo soprano or alto?
She would be classified as aMezzo-Soprano because for the following reasons: 1. Her voice ( compared to Christina Aguilera's voice) even though sounds like Christina Aguilera, Christina has a full voice from her upper register typical for a soprano (G3-C5) based on listening to all of her songs from the first album to her latest. Lady GaGa has her full voice in the typical mezzo-soprano range (G3-D4). 2. Even though Alto is not a voice type, mezzo-sopranos and alto are pretty much the same in range, but she is not a contralto (appropriate name for the lower alto part) because her tessitura (voice quality and sound) is not deep enough to qualify her as a contralto. 3. Also take into account that sometimes her notes are modify to sound clearer, but she is really using AutoTunes since the product is designed to help singers stay on pitch, so do not rely on her singing based on her songs heard on the radios. For example, T-Pain has a tenor voice (probably appropriately a heldentenor), but cannot truly tell since Autotunes corrects the pitch which makes it hard to tell if he is comfortable singing the typical tenor notes. My best answers = a mezzo-soprano. Her voice is darker in vocal quality, and her range is not high enough to be a soprano or in full voice in her upper register. Also, not a typical alto (contralto to be correct) since her voice is not the same tessitura as a typical tenor.

Is a deep female voice called a mezzo soprano?
"Mezzo" is Italian for "middle", so a mezzo soprano is a middle-pitched woman's voice. The higher voice is soprano, of which there are different categories, (lyric, dramatic, coloratura, etc.), depending on the strength of voice required and the duration of the part. The lowest female voice is contralto or alto.
What is the difference between alto and contralto?
Technically speaking, an alto has the same range as a soprano but where the voice "speaks" most beautifully in the range is different. For an alto, the most beautiful, present part of the voice will be middle high, middle and low. For soprano, a voice will be most beautiful in the middle and upper range. A true contralto is a very unusual. It is literally a female voice that shares the range of a male tenor.

What are the levels of choir voices?
There are four basic voices in a mixed choir: two female voices: Soprano (high-pitched) and Alto (low), and two male voices: Tenor (high) and Bass (low). Sometimes intermediary voices are added: Mezzo-soprano between Soprano and Alto and Baritone between Tenor and Bass. At other times the male voices may all be combined into a single part. Additionally any of the voice parts may be split up further. In that case the voices are most commonly referred to as first Soprano, second Soprano, first Alto etc. Usually only the four basic voices are subdivided this way, though the second Soprano voice may be referred to as Mezzo-Soprano and the first Bass voice as Baritone. Of course male choirs only have the Tenor, Baritone and Bass voices and female choirs only the Soprano, Mezzo-soprano and Alto voices. An exception is in some types of ancient music (from the renaissance and earlier) where the Alto parts are sung by very high pitched tenors. These are known as Counter-tenors, they sing with the so-called falsetto voice. This practice is quite common in English choirs.
