Alto: more range than a soprano, as well as the leader of the choir usually, more outgoing, and more all-around fun. has a loud outgoing personality, voice, and smile.
wow, i wonder what part that girl sings, she is so nice, perfect, and has some nice pearly whites, she also doesn't have a lot of nasty vabrato, and can sing on key and in tune. i bet she is an alto.

The second lowest female voice.
Some women are ashamed of being an alto. There's nothing wrong with it. You can just go a little lower than the rest of the chorus.
There's also rumor going about that sopranos are overly happy bubbleheads. That's true for some, but most of them are kind, down-to-earth individuals who can go just a bit higher than the rest of the chorus. You might think I'm supporting sopranos because I am one, but I'm a fair judge, because I'm both. Not mezzo, both. There's a big difference. I have all the soprano notes, and all the alto notes, and a few bass notes ;)
So, to sum it up: Being an alto is something to be proud of.

Alto: *blasts out G1*
Soprano: Wow, I can't believe you can hit that so easily and confidently. I wish I was an alto.

The lower womans voice in a choir.
In opera, and especially for women, the alto is known as the contralto while singers in choirs and child singers with the same range are known simply as altos.
Strictly speaking, the alto range is really the mezzo-soprano and contralto ranges put together, mezzo soprano being the higher of the two.

The best voice part ever. Altos sing lower than other girls and higher than most middle voices. Altos can sing man notes better than some men too.
