If my vocal range is C2-C4 and I get a song that's C3-C5 should I be looking to transpose the song's range as close to the octave of my vocal range as possible or the pitch? What I mean is would I just simply transpose the song's range down an octave (which falls exactly on my vocal range) or could i just leave it as it is since the pitches of the song's range match my vocal range although they're in a different octave?

Leave the piano accompaniment (or whatever) alone. It will sound fine when you sing in 'your' octave.

I'm not sure what it is you're saying. Could you be more clear please? – Bryant Lewis Mar 19 '17 at 19:00

2Just sing the notes an octave lower than written. Transposing the accompaniment down an octave will probably create a muddy sounding mess. and may be impossible anyway on instruments like guitars. etc. – Mar 19 '17 at 22:57

I'm still a little confused. What is the accompaniment? – Bryant Lewis Mar 21 '17 at 14:16

The accompaniment is the music that someone else--or you--play alongside the melody you're singing. For example, it's the guitar part of Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer". – Dekkadeci Mar 21 '17 at 14:52
