A German term for specific voice categories—such as soubrette soprano, Heldentenor, lyric baritone, e.g.—that are determined by the tessitura capacity and timbre of a voice. The overall location of vocal tract resonances, as well as the specific location of the singer’s formant cluster are significant factors associated with voice qualities and therefore the Fach of a singer. (Plural: Fächer.)[1]
