@@kagato23No, I think her whole point is that she never naturally sounded like that. She's 4'10" tall, she's a pipsqueak in real life. Her natural voice is just very high. However, she used to be able to go lower through training and practice, which she hasn't been getting as much of in recent years, plus she suffered vocal damage over time from sickness, which limited her range to an extent. Anyone, man or woman, can learn to put some extra bass in their voice. You just have to practice.
@@StochasticUniverse she’s said more than once her voice used to be deeper. I’m sure it’s not exactly the same nor was it quite as deep. But it’s probably a lot closer.
Some call it gear shifting, basically singing with her chest voice instead of head voice in wich she always talks because using her chest voice for too long hurts her.
My understanding is that her illness caused her vocal chords to become tighter or shorter in some way, hence higher voice. It's not unheard of with serious lung stuff, and her immune condition mean she had to deal with a lot of lung stuff. She was training to be a classical opera singer but had to stop... so this song is her forcing her voice to lower than it can easily go now. Hence the sound effects and coughing. Aka it's not a good thing, in fact she mentions later that it hurts, so she works to not do that. As such there's not that many recordings with such effects. Certainly is an interesting interpretation tho!
It's not so much that the damage made her voice high, it always was (her operatic training was as a coloratura soprano), but rather the scarring limits her ability to access the lower end. And as you said, to do even that much is hard work and painful to her. Coupled with the fact that she's likely doing this propped up on pillows in bed with supplemental oxygen tubes up her nose, it gets even more impressive. Judging from how strong she sounded and the timing of this, was this just before she got hit with covid? It took her a long time to be able to start getting back to where she was but that's Mouse I guess, 'just keep on keeping on' as they say.@@RHTQ1
I actually believe that she's forcing it lower here, as it used to be. She sounds like she's forcing it, yet easily talks "normally" without any noticeable gap from a voice changer. Just my opinion tho.
@@RHTQ1I find it a bit annoying at this point. Like voice changers don’t transition like this. If she’s using one it’s the best ever made to make. It can transition on involuntary coughs? Yeah no.
It's all her real voice because it's all coming out of her. Simple. A man can speak in a high falsetto as much as he likes. If he does so, it is his voice, by definition. But it's not his natural speaking voice. So it is with Mouse. She can go low, but the fact that she's able to doesn't make it natural or even vocally sustainable for her, which is why she had to stop. It was so stressful and straining that she couldn't keep it going to finish the song.
stand up straight, and open your throat I do it for high voices open your mouth more, too You were doing great! just straighten your back, relax your throat, and breath in heavy through your nose between parts. release from the diaphragm
she is actually a professional singer, so she does know what shes doing. she's just fighting with a lot of sickness and low lung capacity/wearing oxygen mask and being bedridden
