"a vocal range of A3 to D5"
this is a way to name octaves to specify vocal ranges.
The Harvard Dictionary of music defines typical ranges as:
Soprano: C4-A5 (middle C to the A above the C above middle C)
Mezzo soprano: A3-F5
Alto: F3-D5
Tenor: B2-G4
Baritone: G2-E4
Bass: E2-C4
A3-D5 would be .. the A below the C below middle C (one octave and two tones below middle C, or 9&1/2 semitones) to the D above the C above middle C. Basically, they are saying that song is about two octave and a third in range.
I think any good singer should have a min of two octaves, any trained singer certainly would. I also think Harvard is conservative in its ranges for voice types.
