A must-see for low-voiced women! Popular songs that are easy to sing at karaoke

These days, many songs for both women and men are in higher keys, so there are probably many women with lower voices who feel, “I can’t find songs I can sing because my voice is low,” or “I’m looking for lower-key songs for karaoke.” Forcing yourself to sing songs that don’t suit your natural voice can hurt your throat, and it can be stressful when you can’t sing the way you want.

But don’t worry! There are plenty of songs that sound captivating even with a low voice.

In this article, we’ll introduce lots of songs that women with lower ranges can sing comfortably and confidently.

775 / Step Right Up [Official Music Video]
Step right up!775

A female reggae DJ from Kishiwada, 775.

Lately she’s been appearing on variety shows here and there, so even people who aren’t into reggae might know her.

Her track “Yotterasshai” is the song that put her on the map nationwide.

The tune is classic dancehall, and combined with her vocal timbre, it delivers a bass-heavy, raggamuffin-style vocal line.

Since the song has a very narrow range, it should be easy to sing even for women with lower voices.

RespectAI

AI “Respect” (Official video) - “Respect All” -
RespectAI

AI’s 31st digital-only single, released in May 2023.

AI is well known for her captivating low-register voice, and this track is truly an ideal choice for women who want to showcase the full appeal of their own low tones.

With its distinctive hip-hop-inspired arrangement, make sure you really feel the beat of the backing track and be careful not to let your singing become monotonous as you take on the challenge.

Also remember to use a chest voice that resonates firmly in the thoracic cavity.

Yumi’s “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara” is the theme song for the film Kiki’s Delivery Service, and it has a nostalgic feel, doesn’t it? I’ve sung this one at karaoke too, and since the opening notes are really low, it might be an easy song to pitch for people who are good at low tones! When you sing it, make sure to keep a steady 4/4 beat so the rhythm doesn’t slip.

Also, the arrangement builds toward the latter half, so be mindful of dynamics and project your voice clearly into the mic—doing so can boost your score, so give it a try!

ResonantiaAimer

Aimer’s seventh studio album, Open α Door, includes this track and was released in July 2023.

By the way, the song we’re introducing here, “Resonantia,” is considered the album’s lead track.

The vocal melody sits mainly in the low-to-mid range, and there aren’t any sections that require extremely low or extremely high notes throughout the song, so it’s an ideal karaoke choice for women who feel their range is on the narrower side.

However, because the song is built around mid-low melodies, mumbling can prevent your voice from reaching the mic clearly and from conveying the song to listeners.

If possible, practice singing with a solid chest voice.

A helpful tip for using chest resonance effectively is to aim the sound toward your lower jaw inside your mouth—give it a try!

dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo

It’s Yo Hitoto’s fifth single overall, released in February 2004.

It’s a very beautiful ballad and one of her signature songs, so I imagine many people have heard it at least once.

The vocal melody doesn’t span an especially wide range, so with a key adjustment, many singers should be able to perform it comfortably.

I think that’s one reason why the song has continued to be loved years after its release.

If you aim to sing it precisely, it does demand various techniques and a sense for vocal expression, but because the range itself isn’t too demanding, it’s also an ideal piece to practice and develop those skills.

With their high sense of musicality, Brandy Senki stands out even among girl bands.

If you’re a woman with a refined sense of style, you’ve probably heard of them.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is 27:00.

While the chorus does go a bit higher, it’s still on the lower side compared to typical J-pop.

The A and B sections stay low in a way that brings out the charm of lower female voices, so open your mouth a bit wider and sing with a resonant, overtone-rich vocal placement.

Dong, Nan, Xi, BeiToki Asako

Dong, Nan, Xi, BeiToki Asako

Asako Toki is a female singer-songwriter and the daughter of jazz saxophonist Hideshi Toki.

Known for her high sense of musical taste, her appeal lies in a genreless style that incorporates a wide range of influences, including jazz of course.

Among her songs, one I especially recommend is Dong, Nan, Xi, Bei.

With a sound close to Chinese pop, it’s a stylish piece that also shines with distinctly Chinese pop melodies.

Given the style, you might expect a high vocal line, but surprisingly the range is quite narrow, making it an easy song to sing for women with lower voices.
