You can tell he’s a baritone because tenor range notes sound high when he sings them, whereas those higher notes would be comfortable for a tenor, and his voice also isn’t heavy enough to be a bass, so his timbre is definitely a baritone. Josh is my fave, I love everything he does. ❤
@@KajiVocals nope, baritone. I sing in a choir with baritones, I know how they sound. Having a flexible voice doesn’t mean he’s comfortable singing up in the rafters of his voice all the time. I’m a soprano and I’m not gonna sit on high Bs all day because it’s tiring even for singers with training.
@@streamofawareness Except having a voice type doesn’t mean singing in the rafters the whole time… that’d be delusional and misunderstanding of these classifications.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love the Grobster as much as everyone else, but I think this video is slightly misleading as he can only really sing full voice up to a Bb on a good day. Which for a baritone, anything above an F# is still very impressive. But as a singer myself, I wouldn’t count falsetto as part of your overall vocal range. Unless you can mix it with your chest voice and project with a decent amount of volume. Just my opinion though. Great voice. Great video.
So what notes can you hit? You said you were a singer yourself what's your style? and falsetto technically is hitting a note I very much doubt you have a voice like Josh Groban's and I very much doubt you can hit as many notes as him whether that be high low medium or having to go in your falsetto Jewell she's a yodeler i yodel myself you have to go into your falsetto to yodel in and out of your falsetto to yodel are you saying that yodeling and going in and out of your falsetto isn't considered a note?
@@viashion8 ?? i think most people would say pure falsetto doesn't really matter in a strict vocal range sense. the term literally comes from the latin for "false", as it's not the true voice.
Agree. Let Me Fall is the only time hit B4, any notes beyond that he uses falsetto. Yes you can use falsetto to sing and that’s fine but people usually use true voice vocal range for comparison among singers.
I can sing like countless baritones, but not him. I usually have to lower the key. Gosh breaks rank, with the whole classification thing. It's one of the reasons he is great. I'd call him a bari-tenor
For everyone arguing about whether he's a high baritone or a lower tenor, let me get one thing straight: He's a contemporary singer. It does not matter. I guess he sounds like a gray area between a high baritone and a lower tenor to me, though I am not 100% sure. His low notes are crooned, but they sound like he could be a lot more resonant while singing them if he actually tried to sing. Despite all of that, I don't worry about it too much at the end of the day about what his voice type is. All that matters is that he's got a nice voice.
@@traveloguebysreeharipraseed no, he's a baritone. U don't have to sound like Franck Sinatra to be a baritone. There's a lot of high baritone out there.
I can’t believe the silly people calling Josh a tenor. He does not sound his best singing up into the rafters where tenors go. At the same time, his voice isn’t heavy enough to stay in the basement of the bass range. That’s why he’s a baritone. He was a boy soprano until his voice dropped at age 14 and he learned what his range is and where he sounds best. This is such a silly thing to argue about. Josh himself says he’s a baritone. I think he knows his own voice best.
@@jasonblack4208 not all the baritones have a darker tone. There's lot different baritone, from low ones to higher ones. Josh a high baritone, commonly called baritone '' Martin''. He' s not a tenor, no way!
@@jdwakyl5400 your confusion is understandable. The current misconception in the classical singing community is that baritone and mezzo are the "medium" voices and therefore the most common. In truth, bigger (spinto and dramatic) tenor and soprano voices are closer to the middle range, but most of these singers get pushed into lower rep because modern teachers don't know how to train big voices and want to start everyone on light Mozart and other lyric rep. 60 years ago, "bright baritones" didn't exist. A baritone was a dark, powerful voice with none of the youthful timbre you hear here. Evidence of this comes in how few roles they tended to get historically, while tenors, the most common male voice type, got the most.
His natural resonance sits in the baritone range and his tonal quality in his low notes clearly tells us he’s a high baritone because it sounds very full and rich.
