IKR 🤯

ME TOO! No warm-up or anything, just “oh by the way BAM there it is.” It’s like he kept that note in a freakin’ holster 😦

U should check zlatopvovsky out, in his interviews he hit DE E1 normally

@@enocjordanabi4207 He doesn't hit an E1 normally in his interview, if you watch another video called Storms over Russia that is a movie and you can hear him speak comfortably, he doesn't speak down to an E1 normally, he speaks down to it, bending his head over just a little bit, but he sustains a good F1-Ab1 comfortably when speaking. Also to add, there is a video I found here on RU-vid of JD actually hitting a B0 pretty easily without sliding, the lowest I've heard JD speak is probably lower than a D1 on some occasions, but usually, I hear him speak around the mid 1st octave, but sometimes he speaks a lot lower than he usually does. I will send the clips if you're interested. :)

@@Vanerov Can you send me the clips? I'm currently trying to tell a person that JD was lower than Zlatopolsky. This person thinks Zlatopolsky was lower and louder than JD on the super low notes.

They won't be needing any Pick of Destiny either

@Steven Criscione There's an Oktavist on The Oktavism Channel but is unknown that has a darker timbre and can sing D1's and E1's more powerful than Zlatopolsky can and has a darker speaking voice. Search up Kaval Male Choir or Unknown Bulgarian Oktavist.

@Ar Zinzin ?

@@Vanerov Actually they sound very similar. What do you think about Irinarch Zragewsky?

@@ailtonsouzadearaujojunior2210 Except the Bulgarian Oktavist has a darker timbre and can sing the lower 1st octave with more power, and has a darker speaking voice as well. I think Irinarch Zragewsky is a great oktavist, although I've heard lower and deeper.

😂 relatable

I'm a Highschool Bass and my lowest note ever is a B1 (Not counting subharmonics) and wow. I no longer feel like a bass.

I feel this 😂

Yo mine ends up with D2😂

We are mutants)))

WTF

How on earth can one have a regular conversation note that freakin low

@@kfclit1199 I have no clue, me and mom were both absolutely shocked when we felt his voice (it was so low we couldn't even discern words at first) but I still remember it every so often, it was truly amazing and if it weren't for my mom there I would've thought that entire day was just a dream. never seen him again and still sad I didn't say hello.

Do you know if it was a D1/C1 somewhere or are you just assuming? xd

@@Vanerov I checked with one of those videos that show vocal range, but I am technically assuming since the way a voice propagates in a room, and the smoothness/roughness have effect on how deep it sounds, his voice was not smooth at all, really gravelly which might've made it sound deeper but I'm no expert

@Robert James I've heard somewhere that people in that type of Orthodox Church are not allowed to drink alcohol

That wouldn’t be worth it tho would it? I’m sure the vocal quality would suffer from this damage.

Agree with you. Pavel Chesnokov - We sing to thee, really fantastic.

@@nightspicer I'm Greek Orthodox, the Russian Orthodox singers, especially for those big choirs are prohibited to drink.

Not really, it's a technique. Seriously. There's at least two gentleman that will show this technique and teach it on youtube .

I love Avi even tho he can only hit E1

@@sierra6293 He sings a lot, the last videos on his channel just kill me with the quality and resonance of his bass. And even the higher notes, are so clear and bright, he has a really beautiful voice. It's so impressive.

@@DuqueGamerJ18 Yea he is probably one of my favorite people on earth

@@sierra6293 "only" dude, hardly anyone can hit an E1. An E1 is insanely low.

😂😂😂💯

HAHAHA

Same

I agree, everyone wants to expand their range aiming up but I've found it much harder to gain going down and the timbre of these note is just bome chilling

Good point. If you ever sat through a concert with one of the greats (JD Sumner, George Younce, Tim Riley, etc.) you can "feel" their low notes. I remember going to a JD Sumner concert and feeling the vibrations outside the building. When singers go too low, you can "hear" the note but you can't feel it. There's a distinct difference, and that, IMO, is what separates the great bass singers from the those who just want to hit a low note at any cost.

When it is nothing but fry, it is not very musical, I agree. There are a few really great singers out there that subharmonic fry underneath a voiced 'harmonic" and can make it sound pretty good. I thought the black and white part of this vid with the guy with the big screen demonstrated that pretty well. Low AND pleasant to listen to. At some point, with frying, it starts to sound like a stick running through fence slats, and that is not pretty, not really anything remotely sinusoidal going on. Here is one example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o8qu4OOQ_Dc.html

I’m one of the singers who use subharmonics a ton. Check out my Rainbow Of Love cover :) it uploaded today.

I think Rodney Britt is one of those great few, do you?

@@kfclit1199 Ah! Man I just saw your comment, you did a really great job, you have great control of your voice!

thanks for watching :D

Haha 😂🤣

Thanks so much brotha!! Much appreciated & can’t wait for our next Bass movie!! 🎥🍿💯

@@kfclit1199 bass movie? Interesting...

Damn 👁👄👁

Some of the a capella guys have that kind of power, they just don’t need it as they’re mic’d. Avi, for example, is a trained opera singer so he can fucking belt it.

also most of this a capella singers fry or use sumharmonics, unlike most of the russian octavists

@@thecraftycyborg9024 Avi is not a trained opera singer. He trained professionally to sing in Acapella groups and has never sung opera period. Even if he did a little, he never uses classical technique In like 99% of his singing.

Same here...... I've found Home Free & they are ALL the best of the best...... & I'm not biased......(much)

I'm here for those two as well as Geoff

Here for Geoff and Tim

samee but what about Geoff he is cool af

Yo that would be insane!! 🔥🎶

if all these bases got together at one place and started singing the earth would probably rumble off its orbit

That actually describes me pretty well. On a good day I bottom at C2, I’ve hit B1 & B♭1 a few times recognizably. E♭2 is my all day low note.

@@kfclit1199 I have an almost identical range but on most days I can get down to at least C#2, haven't really hit anything below Bb1 in chest (with the exception of a couple anomalous days I've sorta hit A1), I'm hoping with age and practice I can go lower lol

I'm not to dissimilar. Just higher. D2 is the lowest I've ever recorded myself, but E2 is my lowest solid note.

My dude we’re like vocal twins

Same for me, usually can hit a D2 anyday

Thanks brooo 🙌🏻💯

Oh I felt the rumble alright. Made me feel like something was going to happen to my brain..

Some people with the best ears can hear a range of 20-20,000hz. For reference, that’s E0-D#10. Anything lower or higher you may feel, but as humans were unable to hear.

the g-3 sounds like drums

Reuben Mathew actually there are only two! I interviewed Alexis Lukianov, one of the oktavists from the PaTRAM Institute and he said only him and another oktavist were on that last D1.

Out of the 10 oktavists, Alexis Lukianov stated that 2 could go down to the D1, 6 could sing the G1, and the other 2 struggled with the contra G. The more you know...

@@xandertheoktavist Yeah,I wrote this before I saw Mr.Lukianov's interview ,on your channel( great job , man!!), and forgot to edit the comment . Powerful contra D , considering its from two oktavists.

yea they’re incredible!! thanks for watching :) ❤️

Yea bro I think I broke some headphones by making this...

Hahahaha

🙌🏻

it shouldn't even be compared in the same video

@@AntoineGarnier If you are referring to my first sentence, I agree.

@@MrJdsenior yes, I am. with a mic, I can make a beautiful Bb0. But it's not singing. Without a mic I can maybe make a decent D1 sound in a quiet musical moment, and with a lot of reverb (church...). But in full voice and in all dynamics, my lowest note is a A1 or G#1. So for a soloist role, I can't hardly sing a proper "They that go down to the sea in ships". In a choir, I can make a nice Eb1... So how can we compare ?

@@AntoineGarnier Yupper! I've never looked with a mic and a scope, but I suspect the fry looks more like a square wave than a voiced note, at least to some degree, less sinusoidal, anyway. One thing that amazes me is some of this sub harmonic work, where they fry the fundamental and sing the first overtone (I assume) to create the rest of the series. Geoff Castellucci demonstrates this on some of his 'how to sing lower' vids, and it sounds vastly more musical than just a pure fry. Pretty cool technique. And some of the effects, like throat singing, or the two tone singing, like Avi demonstrates to an amazing degree, actually producing a fairly accurate melody from the 'top line' just amazes me. I'm just a layman singer (was anyway) with many years in decent church choirs, and I've tried frying, which was easy to produce, but modulating to accurate various pitches feels like it would take a LOT of practice...I could barely vary the pitch. I've noticed on a few videos of Home Free, where their bass, Tim Foust (another favorite), who is VERY good at this, really bombs it in the live concerts occasionally. In the studio OBVIOUSLY it's always dead on, any more. :-/. Could have been he was having trouble hearing since some of those live environments look like a nightmare to try to sing in (especially at their stellar level), but I think it demonstrates just how difficult it is.

I know right! Thanks so much for being apart of the growth man. #Before1KGang 🙌🏻💯

Hey Dan, any tips on how to actually sing songs in subharmonic s... I can hit a note or two but couldn't lead a song in that range

byMarius thank yu

Have a lot of patience. Start on 1 note until you can sub it without breaking. Start to moving higher & lower without breaking the sub. Eventually it will be easy & comfortable to move all over the place, while singing. This can take over a year to master! Take it slowly & try to stay still when subbing, as movement can break it. Focus on the tone, you don’t want an annoying sub. Adjust your placement to find a nice sound (I like to lower my larynx when subbing). Practice some subs every day, it will become easy!

@@kfclit1199 thanks dan

I remember specifically I was ur 34th sub

It was in the 30’s forever because I wasn’t making content. Just had some piano vids. You truly are one of the very 1st subscribers of the Acapella & Bass Singer Niche of this channel.

Clap it up Dan I subbed when I saw rainbow of love

I recorded that with Apple earphones lol

I subbed when you had 70-75 subs, im not the first but i really aprecciate your work

Or your speaker couldn’t make it.

I appreciate it :D

I don’t know how you know the length of the premiere

Wow, if that’s chest that’s insane.

You must have had one hell of a morning voice to do that.

Reuben Thomas I did actually 😂 On my IG instyle4freestyle I posted a video of me singing an F#1 at the end of Ring of Fire.

@@jacobbernard6605 Breathy ,the tone wasn't that great, but still amazing considering that you hit that F#1 in chest. Bravo!! You better put that on RU-vid.

Reuben Thomas yeah for sure! Thankfully singing that low is kind of useless with chest. Sounds better with a growl or subharmonic anyway.

@@jacobbernard6605 Useless for choral and operatic stuff, but if you are singing acapella in on mic situations, pretty awesome. Hope you dont mind me asking you this, but does your dad have a deep voice, and if that is the case how low can he go?

You are 100% correct. However this phenomenon is different from vocal fry, or a chest fry like Tim foust does .Basso profundo Matt Spriggs explains this in his interview on Alexander Mayang's channel.

Jds didn't sound fried.

@@grantburgessoutdoors9063 This phenomenon is different from pure vocal fry or even a Tim Foust style chest fry.
