Musical Theatre Women LOW Notes P2 

I adore Carrie! (you contributed to that) Eve Was Weak sung by Betty Buckley >>>>

@@MisterGolightly damn right I contributed 😉

It goes to show just how much voice is societal, and not just a hard fact. In fact, pitch and resonance are a big portion of what gives a voice its regional identity. This is why girls from New Jersey speak differently from girls from Ohio, as do they sound different from Louisianan girls, as from girls from France, as from girls from Turkey, as from girls from India… beyond even their otherwise accents. The voices are used differently. Rant to come immediately. Chest notes are often undertrained in women and overemphasized for men. The existence of contraltos male sopranos is a great counter to how inherent male and female voice is. While a lot of it is physiological, a lot of it is also, I think, based out of the psychology and personality of the person using it, and if one seeks they can train into having lower notes through building their chest & fry registers and expanding their pharyngeal space, or train higher through learning to mix their voice and manipulate different registers as well as their laryngeal height. And this can impact the default. There is a lot of construction too around how we type singers: Carol Burnett for instance is typed often as a mezzo, but sings from Ab3 to F6 in a performance that is in the theater high notes video on this channel, and strugglingly sustains an E3 on this video. What mezzo has a stronger F6 than an E3? Well, one who has trained the former note more. She is probably more of a full lyric soprano by my standard, but who’s to say? Julie Andrews had low notes just as if not more strong (see her F3 here) while still being able to connect into the rafters as well. There are plenty of male singers too, like Chris Cornell, Ian Gillan, Geoff Tate, who would have credence in being considered natural or at least potential baritones, but are or were capable of singing well into and even past tenor range. Brendon Urie has been typed as a low tenor by some, and some laymen would hear his low notes as impressively resonant for someone labeled a tenor; all the more with Patrick Stump. What gives them that capacity to sing across 3.5-4.5 octaves coherently? Is it biology? Or is it training? There are plenty of sopranos who struggle to sing below the A3-C4 region; is that biology, or is it lack of experience with that range? Is Mariah a true coloratura soprano, with a modal range easily capable of F6 and stronger up there than at F3, or is she a mezzo that learned to sing into the rafters (which, even some otherwise conventionally voiced men have proven capable of doing too)? How is Audra McDonald, a lyric soprano, singing like Billie Holiday at 5:03? If A3 to D6 is a standard lyric soprano range, why can so many lyric sopranos sing with relative comfort beyond it? Why do some have darker and more resonant timbres at the bottom than they do at the top? Are they sopranos? If they can sing a C6 comfortably, by some mode they certainly are fulfilling that…

@@gillianomotoso328 What do you think about the stereotype that black people, especially black women, have lower voices or at least can sing lower?

Also Sutton Foster, her lows are so good and she can hit some crazy notes

I hope she gets something big soon, she’s been unfortunate with how Hunchback and Frozen ended up 🙁

You mean mezzo or contralto?

@@KajiVocals I'm an alto. We get no recognition. This is amazing.

@@leahmoore6820 Alto isn't a voice type though. It's a choral classification.

@@KajiVocals Hmm. I'd say I'm more contralto than mezzo if true.

@@leahmoore6820 So you sound like her? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dBMYH9h_HC0.html Cause this is how a real contralto sounds like. Tenor in a female body essentially.

There’s only one real contralto in this video.

@@KajiVocals Bea Arthur?

Alright mom!

That's from The Color Purple

A mezzo

Soprano. I'm pretty sure. She does a lot of tongue tonal modification though.

I think high soprano with a good chest dev.

Some peeps use a piano to identify notes
