The reason why is because its natural for most sopranos and it adds drama to the song so a lot of people add em to their songs for the sopranos cause its impressive & it adds a mature sound to the song & role
Hey! I love your channel! If you need a video idea could you maybe do a "Who sang Hit Me with a Hot Note from Play On! the best" and include Tami Tappan?
They take as much skill, technique, and practice to support correctly and make it sound good as high notes do Sincerely, a mezzo soprano who can only hit an E3 on a really good day
it seriously is. i wish people got as much credit for singing low notes as they do for singing high notes, because it takes just as much work to learn to consistently support low notes as it does for high ones.
@@elizabethh8579 Actually, once you start hitting below C3, You're actually entering a mans lower range. I'm a baritone, and though I can consistently hit town to G, Maybe F# with consistent technique (I used to hit lower, but vocal damage has made my lower range potentially permanently shot) my lower range starts at C.
@@MisterGolightly I guess she has low notes in all of her songs since she's a contralto but the one that always stands out to me is the last note in Nothing Changes!
@@MisterGolightly she sang a song called Charming and there are a lot of low notes in her version. Also I think her lowest is in Wait for Me from Hadestown
I never knew that stuff above G3 was considered a low note for female singers. I guess I'm just used to being able to hit a C3 consistently as an AFAB singer who hasn't done any HRT
Well, to be honest. If your low range is developed - it won’t really be a low note (and it shouldn’t). But a lot of female singers neglect that part of the range unfortunately.
Me too. Honestly this video kinda makes me giggle because, as a female tenor, these notes are literally nothing to me. It’s just so normalized for women to only work on their high range that notes like these are considered impressed for most of us, when it really shouldn’t be.
WAIT, if these notes are considered low for a female, what does this mean for me? Because I believe the lowest note I’ve been able to hit is a B flat 2 👀
I’ve always really liked Sierra’s lower range, wish we got to hear it more often (another Christine with epic low notes is Kelly Mathieson, I recommend checking her out!)
Nice! I remember Leah singing 'I would rather die' very low and often it is sung up an octave. Cool to see lower notes for a change - I'm D2 - D4 so usually nothing in my vocal range makes your compilations!
I don't want to be rude, I really don't but it's spelled Lea, and yeah this video was so cool! 1. Because i am easily impressed 2. I'm a (abt I haven't taken the test)mezzo-soprano/soprano(Yay I'm BASIC😅) so low notes are like WOW
As a coloratura soprano, I am so so impressed by this 🥹 I love lower voices, so much warmth and colour ❤ I'm currently in a community theatre and every woman is an alto except for myself and I get so many chills listening to them all sing.
I’m a young singer so this is definitely a sign for me to work on my low notes as much as my high notes. I can hit some of the lower notes here so I’m going to keep doing that so I don’t lose it.
@@MisterGolightly I got a full video on her on my channel if you’re interested. She originated Maria in the Sound of Music, along with the lead in South Pacific and a few other musicals (Peter Pan is another big one). She did Hello Dolly too. She sang a lot with Ethel Merman and Big Crosby and was originally trained as a lyric soprano but at some point she switched to more of a belter.
I realise I probably have a massive range as I can sing all these notes as a soprano, maybe not in context and probably not in a vocally healthy way but the notes are coming out 😂
Vivian Reed sings a projected D3 and E3 in Marie Christine with Audra McDonald. Stephanie Lawrence sings some pretty low notes in Marilyn: The Legend I think. Pat Suzuki (Flower Drum Song) sings some notes down to Bb2 pretty often in her albums. Tbh, a lot of those classic theatre female singers sing super low notes in their albums. Lillias White sustained a C3 in her new album too.
Not sure if this counts, since it's technically TV, but Megan Hilty and Kat McPhee singing the Eb3 on "Norma Jeane" in the extended version of "Let Me Be Your Star"??? Ironically, during the concert performance, the key was raised 2 half steps, so they could reach the low note more easily, and once the song started with Kat's "Fade in on a girl", it went down three half steps (so one half step down from the original recorded key).
this compilation makes me feel SEEN and VALID. like, i can sing high notes all i want, but what did i train myself to do? i trained myself to sing an octave below middle C. my natural speaking range is in the 3rd octave, oooop. i may also be sold on Bat out of Hell finally. only took me like 4 years.
Yeah, majority of women will speak in the third octave, even if you're a high ass soprano naturally. I remember reading a study that said the average speaking pitch for a soprano is like a G3/A3, which makes me wonder how some people struggle on those notes loll. Also, you may develop an even deeper low range (far deeper in fact) with practice. Keep practicing that range!
I wish low notes were incorporated more in musical theater. These are pretty comfy (until Pearl's D3, thats already way too alto for my mezzo range 😅) I LOVE IT tho
Thank you for this. I can hit most of these comfortably just singing freely, but prior to now I had no frame of reference for where low notes "begin" if that makes sense
Love your videos! You seemed to make some errors with the note naming on this one. Here are the ones I catched: 0:46 Christy Altomare sings an G#3, not A3 1:11 1:14 and 1:20 Rachelle Ann Go sings an G#3, not A3 2:07 Pretty sure Danielle Steers reaches down to F#3 and not G3 there 5:10 Patti LuPone sings an E3, not Eb3 5:31 Nitpicking but I think Cynthia doesn't quite reach down to D3, lowest note I can hear is Eb3
And here I was thinking I just couldn't sing that good, because I'm not very good at singing high notes. That video really made me interested in singing again.
Such a weird feeling. I'm a second Alto, but I wasn't singing along with it, and yet hearing the notes they were hitting, my throat acted like I was singing it lol. Does that make sense?
