I was a 1st tenor when I sang a bit in my childhood, but when my voice started shifting, I lost consistency and just quit singing to avoid causing trouble. Never even tried to explore my chest voice. After some years of rarely singing to myself, I came to the conclusion that I was just a broken tenor with no range. My experiences with bass singers were all from that early singing period, which skewed my perceptions and somehow convinced me that I just didn't have a bass or low baritone range. Pop songs were almost always higher voices that I struggled with, so I never resumed voice practice and always declined invitations to KTV and similar activities. Three decades later, with the help of RU-vid and TikTok artists, I realized I might be a lower baritone or bass. How absurd it is that I spent so many years ashamed that I couldn't sing.... Well actually I still can't sing. I sound terrible. But thanks to guys like you, I've discovered that there might be a singing range for me to develop, even if I'll never be particularly good. Sorry for the long story and thanks for the inspiration.
Contralto here. No way I can sit down in the basement with him, either. :) My starting note is an E3. By D4 it's already beginning to get high for me. This still has value even up in our ranges, I think. Note recognition, matching pitch. Holding pitch. Etc. It's also really cool to hear the three octave (I think three; when he announces his F1, I've gotten up to an F4) spread between what he's doing and what I'm doing and how that blends together in the ear. It's a neat effect. You're never going to reach down into the Earth's crust like he can. ;) And that's okay. So start it in your chest octave. For me that's an E3. You're still working your chest notes. You're just a few octaves above him is all. :)
It's kinda neat to sing this low, I can just barely get to b0 rn with subharmonics but honestly it would be really cool to actually be able to sing the melody of most songs like you guys can. Bass sounds awesome, but it's so rare there's not much out there to casually sing along to and not sound out of place because you're 2 octaves below. You guys got a cool voice too.
Lol I am a baritone, and I sound like a girl compared to him 🤣 My lowest note is D#2/E2 but it sounds so weak for me. I would say my best low which actually sounds good F#2/G2. Sometimes I hit C2 but its at the morning only.
You are so talented man!! Keep giving us pleasure with your voice please…i’m following you with the piano because when it starts to get high for you is actually very low for me 😂 good job ❤️
@@towerofresonance4877 Yes. The lowest chest note i have ever reached was F1. And the stars had to be aligned for that. So i doubt an E1 is going to happen any time soon.
So I just found this tonight, and it's really good practice. Thanks for putting it up. Fun AND helpful, even for those of us up here in tenor range. ;) Funny thing. Right at D (D4 for me - my starting note is an E3 - my speaking voice is around D3-G3), I got the note out and immediately commented that it was beginning to get high for me already. Barely finished my comment, and then heard you say, "Starting to get high for me." Exact same spot. I actually **felt** the blend up into the next passagio. That was the first time I was able to actually **feel** that transition. I like this challenge. It actually helps with note recognition, too, because of saying the note name before singing it. :) Very cool.
man this is so increbible. but wait, is this troathsinging? if not, what would happens if you do troath singing? will the earth explode? I'm also very curious, what is the highest note you can do?
I've got D2 but that's about it. In order to join you down there I trained and learned subharmonics. It just ain't the same as your liquid gold, but I am glad to say that I can join you on every note you sang now. Dozens of hours of practice well spent.
Was in choir as a bass-alto from 1st grade through my senior year, which was 2014. Getting back into singing recently, and my range dropped hard. I can barely do tenor, and thats only on the lower scale. Guess im a pure Baritone and Bass now. Dont smoke kids.
im coming from your Valhalla video, turns out i can hit these notes. If not falsetto, what do you call the transition of voice hitting those higher bass notes. I can sing them differently. Like i climb the scale from my lowest note and up, G sounds different than if i start above and work down. Not in falsetto but the change allows me to sing even higher notes. Your vocal work is amazing!
my lowest range is not as crisp a delivery as you but I managed it (just) but I can somehow also go a lot higher. When you got to D at 55 seconds in thats my normal Speaking register tone.
