Singing has fascinated people at any time, so almost always in childhood everyone dreamed of becoming singers or singers. Some did not give up this idea and became famous thanks to their voices.
The singing range is limited to 8 octaves, and most artists only master 2 of them. But there are people with unique data who are capable of much more. They immediately become famous, and this process has especially accelerated with the development of the Internet. Videos with their participation gain the maximum number of views, and people never get tired of watching such videos over and over again.
The Guinness Book of Records record holder, Peruvian Ima, was unable to receive a musical education as a child. But her passion for singing did not die, and this amazing woman mastered the basics on her own. She admitted that forest birds became her teachers and inspirers, to whose trills she listened carefully and tried to repeat them.
The result of such training was a range of 5 octaves, and even professionals cannot boast of such a result. In addition, she had the amazing ability to sing with two voices at the same time. Phoniatric specialists believe that this is only possible thanks to the special structure of the vocal apparatus and Ima’s cords.
The lack of musical education did not prevent the Peruvian from becoming famous throughout the world. Some of her compositions are still known to everyone without exception.
A native of Oklahoma, Tim came to the world of music thanks to church choir, in which he sang as a little boy. His manager could not ignore the guy’s outstanding singing abilities, so he strongly advised him to continue his career. And he was not mistaken in his pupil, since Tim Storms was later listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the deepest voice on earth.
The bottom note that Tim is able to sing is accessible to the only person on Earth; no one has yet been able to repeat it. The singer's life consists mainly of touring different countries, since the number of people who want to hear amazing singing is growing every year.
Over time, the bottom note Tim plays continues to move downwards, which is why he was able to break his own record. On at the moment This is the G note, which is 8 octaves below the very last octave of the piano. This sound is beyond the range of human hearing, so it must be recorded using special instruments. But Tim can calmly communicate with elephants, since only they are the only animals that can hear and make the same sounds.
At the moment, this Latina is recognized as the person who can sing the highest note in the world. Despite the fact that Georgia is a representative of the Caucasian race, her amazing voice is called “black” for the strength, power and breadth of range inherent in African-American singers.
The songs she performs reach ultrasound, and not everyone is able to receive aesthetic pleasure from such a performance. A woman's vocal apparatus can produce notes that are found only in some representatives of the faunal kingdom.
Many skeptics claim that a high-pitched squeak cannot be considered singing, but envy did not stop Georgia Brown from being listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the highest voice.
Now Belle Nuntita is a woman with a beautiful face who sings a duet with herself, since she is able to perform parts in both a male and female voice.

Belle's performance on this program created a complete sensation.
Soviet singer, creative activity which began at the age of 18, over the years of touring she managed to visit 92 countries. This huge amount due to the fact that Lyudmila Zykina’s voice did not age, as is usually the case with people. With age, the vocal cords become less elastic, which affects the range and register of sound.
Phoniatricians were surprised to note the fact that Zykina did not experience these age-related changes, so her eternally youthful singing could be enjoyed even in her eighties, when she continued to give concerts despite diabetes, which had crippled her health.
A resident of Great Britain, the mother of two adult children, has not in vain devoted many years to working at school. In addition to her teaching talent, she acquired another one, which is necessary in daily communication with students - the talent to outshout anyone living today.
The volume of sound with which she is able to scream reaches 129 decibels. To understand how loud it is, it is enough to know that it is only 10 decibels lower than the work of the jet engine turbines at launch and takeoff. Not one of her students has a chance to listen new material, which the teacher is trying to convey to him.
Jill is included in the ranks of record holders in the Guinness Book of Records, displacing the previous loudest person, ahead of him by only 1 decibel.

There are also many among children young talents who have amazing voices. Amira Willighagen burst into vocal world at the age of nine, performing at a competition in Holland, where the jury compared her with the greatest opera diva Maria Callas.

The girl was lucky enough to perform a joint professional program with several of the best symphony orchestras world on the stages of major opera halls.
Some voices can cause goosebumps and even tears when listening. There are an incredible number of singers and singers working in the world today, and all of them can become famous with the help of a simple recording reproduced on the Internet. The chance to become a world star is becoming illusory, because now you rarely see a star who holds the whole world captive for a long time. Tastes are becoming more specific, and fashion is becoming more fleeting. And yet the classics are eternal, since the craving for truly beauty is unconscious and does not lend itself to fashionable trends, therefore the most beautiful voice in the world is selected by us, like precious diamonds from many pieces of glass: there cannot be too many of them, and each is beautiful only in solitude.
The most beautiful female voices in the world
The beauty of a voice is a relative concept, although it is a known fact that the listener likes a high, gentle, thin voice much more than a dense and low one. A female chesty contralto also has its own beauty, but a flying mezzo-soprano will always outdo it and gain more fans.

In the 50-60s, Sumac was very popular in South America, the USA and the USSR, she was invited to the radio, she did a lot of voice acting. Outsiders characterized her vocals as a mystical act: when Sumac sang (especially on low notes), she seemed to make inhuman sounds, as if her blood of Indian ancestors was speaking in her.
A Black Voice in a White Body – Georgia Brown

However, Feodulova became a real gem of the project, performing several classical works and proving with the beauty of her vocals that she has a truly enchanting voice.

Low women's voices - aren't they beautiful?
Nina Simone is a classic example of such a voice. As a girl, she started with Negro church motifs, then conquered the restaurant public. For several years, the singer had to work for the producer, who imposed his singing style and his music on her. But at the first opportunity, Simon left the “master”, and her solo career has become a musical treasure: the songs “I Put Spell On You” and “Feeling Good” are the most beautiful love arias.
The most beautiful male voices in the world
With popularity male voices The same rule applies as with the popularity of women: high voices the human ear by default perceives as richer, stronger and more saturated tones and halftones, and therefore wide range tenors will be in much greater favor with the public than basses.
Placido Domingo - the most beautiful tenor

Baritone Sergei Leiferkus – conqueror of La Scala

An unusually soulful baritone allows Leiferkus to shine both in leading roles that require power and in chamber works.
Samuel Ramey is an Italian bass who sings in Russian without an accent
Fans opera singer Samuel Ramey is noted for his powerful, booming bass voice that can inspire terror as he plays Mephistopheles in Faust.

Thus, Ramey is able to demonstrate the power and texture both in the role of Atilla and in the role of Kutuzov, whom, by the way, he plays completely without an accent.
There is probably no such thing as “the best voice in the world,” or at least it is impossible to choose one based on differences in taste criteria. There are unrecognized talents and undiscovered treasures that have yet to demonstrate creativity, and of course there are classical heritage, which you can listen to forever.
