Testing Tips

Improve Test Stability

Oniki Check estimates pitch in the browser and separates one-off extremes from notes you can hold steadily. For clearer results, keep the microphone setup and singing method consistent.

Before You Test

• Test in a quiet room.
• Keep the microphone 20 to 30 cm from your mouth.
• Use headphones to avoid speaker feedback.
• On a phone, avoid covering the microphone with your hand.
• Allow browser microphone permission and close other recording apps.

Singing Method

• Move from low to high slowly and hold each note.
• Hold each note for about 1 to 2 seconds before moving on.
• Start near speaking volume instead of pushing loud notes immediately.
• Avoid breath noise, shouting, and heavy vibrato.
• Separate chest voice, head voice included, and mixed voice sessions.

When Tracking Progress

Separate conditions such as chest voice, head voice included, before warmup, and after warmup. That makes the vocal range test more useful for practice.

For karaoke key choices, track both your highest and lowest repeatable notes. Lowering a song can solve the high note while making the low phrases unclear.

Test two or three times under the same conditions and compare your repeatable lowest note, highest note, and comfortable range separately. A note you touch once is less useful than a note you can sing again without strain.

When to Stop

Stop the test if you feel pain, hoarseness, throat pressure, or shortness of breath. A vocal range test should help you understand your current range, not push past it.
