I think that I go through the same thing... I can hit a low bass C while @ the
same time I can hit a Tenor G-Ab soooo am I a bass-baritone/bass/baritone. I
consider myself a baritone due to my speaking voice! I really hate
classifications too. B/c people think that I am a bass then they shove me down
to singing low or assume that I can't sing high!!! That irritates me sooo much.
That is why I really want to master speech level singing sooo that I can
solidify my upper range. Sorry for the ranting...

Having studied with one and been friends with the other, both of these
artists considered themselves baritones. Artists are rarely responsible
for how they are billed; ask any mezzo how many times she's been billed as
a soprano.
Someone earlier mentioned Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as a bass-baritone: I
have never seen him billed as such either.
