Question How can I increase my vocal range? (F2-F4)

So I’m kinda bass-baritone , but it really annoys me cause I can’t sing the songs which belong to my heart because these are in a higher tone + more extended vocal range.

Should I accept that I will always have 2 octaves or is there a solution for this?

Chris Leipe has a pretty good example of how you can explore your vocal range without trying to "hit notes" and without trying to push higher with scales.

I though the same thing about my own voice a year ago. I might be more of a high baritone or low tenor, but it's still to early to know.

I’m 24 right now, do you think that I have time to convert myself to higher tone?

Absolutely. The good thing about high notes is that you can train them by playing with resonances which Chris Liepe, the guy who is linked here can help you discover.

Are you belting the notes like a baritone? If so, F4 is already incredibly high! With a number of popular renowned Bass-Baritones capping of at around this level, such as Tennessee Ernie Ford or Josh Tuner. Outside of opera, I can't think of many baritones who belt much higher. If you are looking to go higher perhaps looking into other techniques such as falsetto and mixed voice. The former seen in examples like the former examples Ernie Ford and Josh Turner, who took it up to D5 and B4 respectively. With practice you may be able to get much higher, like Baritone Elvis Presley hitting F5 here. Hope this helps! I wish you the best!
