There is no authoritative system of voice classification in non-classical music as classical terms are used to describe not merely various vocal ranges, but specific vocal timbres unique to each range. These timbres are produced by classical training techniques with which most popular singers are not intimately familiar, and which even those that are do not universally employ.

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or music:
“O, I am smitten with a hatchet’s jaw;
And that in deed and not in word alone.

Unlike the voice of one that jumps for joy.
He splits my skull, not in a friendly way,
Once more: he purposes to kill me dead”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“Now the rich stream of Music winds along
Deep, majestic, smooth, and strong,”
