Welcome to what is by far the most ambitious Barbershop Theory episode to date! In this episode, I dig into the concept of overtones and try to explain how they work, what they sound like AND what they LOOK like.
I go through some of the theory behind the overtone series and use the theory to construct examples with my own voice. I even made an "overtone tag-battle" with Tim THE GOAT Waurick - comparing the same tag.
I hope you enjoy the video!

I was in undergrad when Theo presented his DMA lecture recital on this topic. I have been fascinated ever since. Excellent video... I have been waiting for something like this!

This is my new favorite video. I feel like I had some understanding of overtones and their application in barbershop, but this really helped to solidify my understanding. I can’t wait to apply some of this at my next barbershop opportunity.

Very cool video! If you actually sing different vowels and experiment then you can sort of highlight different harmonics in the voice, and it is this exact concept which does this, would recommend looking into it as it can quite help practical understanding of highlighting overtones of which the theoretic element is brilliantly covered in this video!
@BarbershopTagAlong

This is the first time, I've ever heard a voice devided up into sinus-notes; really cool job, good sir! Also - minor detail; there's 2 octaves between the tenor and the bass! ;)

​@@BarbershopTagAlong Do you think you could do a follow-up, where you point out the differences in overtones when singing different vocals? (And modifying vocals) I was just talking to my parents aboud the importance of a choir/group sining the same vocals - and that there is a difference in an "Aah" and an "Arhh" - all the way to, let's say and "Årh". I don't know if it would take up an entire video, but I'd really like to see the difference in the sinus-notes and overtones when comparing vocals :)
@FunnyFungus
@FunnyFungus Год назад
Might be worth noticing you're allready half-way there - but my point would be how they sound "together" - and how they look. Even "Eeh" and "Ih" / "Oh" and "Uh" - because it is so noticeable when slicing each note up into sine waves and how many overtones we need to realise the vocal

@TheViolaBuddy
@TheViolaBuddy 8 месяцев назад
This is really cool. Overtones are stuff I've seen before, so technically there's no new information, but the demonstration with that software was really cool. I know this wasn't the main focus, but dragging that frequency cutoff bar to hear the transition from "a stack of sine waves" to "the vowel aaa made by a human voice" (plus an extra oomph of power behind that voice when you get to that band of higher harmonics) was really fascinating. And trying to just barely make out that A, the hidden major 7 of the chord, in a controlled environment like this was cool since it's so hard to hear and you don't normally know what you're looking for - even here, it's only just barely audible to me (and I gave up on looking for the C), which might mean my ear needs a bit more practice at hearing this sort of thing.

I'm taking a guess that Tim Waurick's overtones are ringing more clearly due to post-mixing after recording, in addition to being an incredibly talented singer.
@BarbershopTagAlong
@BarbershopTagAlong Год назад
That is also a posibility, but I also tried EQ boosting my high end to see if that would change anything, and I was still seeing holes here and there, whereas Tim has clear, strong overtones all through the Spectrum.

Before this starts, I would like to say that on a personal level I have been singing barbershop since 1994, sung in three choruses and two quartets and have never heard an overtone. Ever.
@BarbershopTagAlong
@BarbershopTagAlong Год назад
Hey Paul. I guarantee you that you have probably heard multiple overtones throughout the years, but if your ears don’t know What to listen for, it can be impossible to tell an overtones from all the other sounds. They are not always super clear, as in the example from my video, but I bet you have been exposed to overtones before without knowing it.

In a future video, could you touch on why vibrato generally isn’t used in bbs? Talking to non-barbershoppers who worked hard to get their vibrato!
@BarbershopTagAlong
@BarbershopTagAlong Год назад
Hmm, I might need to tie it into another topic because on its own it’s faily simple to explain. Because the goal of barbershop harmony is to have ringing chords that lock into place, vibrato basically ruins that.
