The highest male singing voice. Usually plays the hero, the lover in opera or musical plays. They get all of the best pieces written for the male voice.

The countertenor has the normal range, speaking and singing, as a regular tenor, but is capable of singing in the contralto, mezzo-soprano, and, sometimes, even soprano ranges. They use falsetto, rather than their lower range, when singing.

The lyric tenor is the lighter, sweeter sounding, while the dramatic tenor has a stronger, richer, more heroic voice.
Example:
There's the Heldentenor, and he looks interested in the dramatic soprano, all decked out in her brass chestplate and horned helmet.

Tenoritis

by qree on May 14, 2010 09:23:20

A disease which primarily afflicts altos, causing them to stop being roped into boring harmonies that you can't even hear over the sopranos and start singing with the tenors, usually better and with more power. Despite being a disease, it is often considered a blessing to those with true tenor ranges who are being held down by the man and/or traditional gender roles.
Example:
Conductor: Alex, I didn't hear you on that harmony.
Alex: Sorry, man, I've got tenoritis.

Jill: Kat, I'm so sick of not being heard.
Kat: Let's go sing with Lilly, she's got tenoritis. It's super contagious.
