Default Voice Perks

Basically, I figure that if you have the Voice advantage, then you have a solid three octave singing voice. The kind of voice most music is scored for. My question is "How many additional octaves do you get if you take the perk extra singing range?"

Cleo Lane, the noted British Jazz singer, had a five octave voice. I've heard of opera stars that had seven octave voices. So how many points in perks would either option take.

Also, what are some other voice perks?

Thank-you ahead of time.

Tim Storms had a 10 octave range (0.8 Hz to 807 Hz). Technically, he had subsonic speech (and hearing), though probably only at the perk level.

I don't think I would represent this even as a perk. I would just call it a zero point feature of your particular version of Voice.

I could see a variant of the Classic Features Perk. Extra +2 if you already have Voice and the person you're speaking to is really attracted to Baritones, for the personal example. I meet a lot of people every day who are not at all interested until I open my mouth, but it is sometimes a more dramatic shift than others.
