Best Answer

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.

an Alto That's not entirely accurate. There are actually two female vocal types between tenor (not actually a female voice) and soprano. They are contralto, and mezzo-soprano. This may be splitting hairs a bit, but Alto is not actually a voice type, but is instead a range of notes. The voice type that sings in the alto range is called contralto.

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.
