I was a bass-baritone up to tenor 2 in high school. I've probably only got baritone 2 to tenor 1 range now, could do tenor 2 in falsetto... but I started smoking.
I want to say I had a 5-6 octave range back in high school, probably 3-3.5 now.
I have near-perfect pitch though, and can completely control vibrato through most of my range so that helps.
Lung power is another factor, I was the entire baritone section in my 45 person varsity choir in high school. Had about 12 tenors, 25 altos and 12 or so sopranos.
I should really start taking vocal lessons again.
