Vocal Coach reacts to FAR OVER THE MISTY MOUNTAINS COLD | Low Bass Singer Cover (Geoff Castellucci) 

Yes. This. Very much.

Agreed.

Yeah the last thing voiceplay/geoff she reacted to was over a year ago, I'd keep waiting

Well, can't hurt to add another voice to the chorus asking her to react to Shenandoah.

One of my favorite American tunes. Thank you for the recommendation.

True true, I am a baritone at 19 but I am on the cusp of being considered a bass, as on a good day I have a very clear chest D2. Its rare that anyone will be able to sing a good first octave in chest but some of these bass singers are true basso profundo and are capable of it. With the right fry technique and extended techniques you can really expand your range though. My full range now is C1-E5. I should be capable of at least a chest B1 as I age and expand with chest fry and subharmonics, but I am also working to keep and expand my high range. My range goal as a singer is B0-C6. I want a good chest B1, steady fry or subs below that, and a strong rock head voice like Matt Bellamy of Muse, its been a dream to be able to hit the notes he does live.

that explain why i was feeling my own voice has dropped i'm 42 i was already bass barriton but at the same time my voice became more " raspy" ( joe cocker or even more tom waits ( i'm a smoker so that can play a role)) and deeper! Tom waits bein the easiest to sing for me!

I can go into the 0th octave easier than i can hit a chest C#2 😅

Peter Hollens and Tim have their arrangement of this on RU-vid. Excellent.

Try to hit those low notes Geoff hits here, quite the challenge!

He uses subharmonics to get those low notes. If you listen carefully you can hear two sounds one is chest voice the other is fry. Subharmonics allows you to get insanely low notes. Also to eventually you will be able to hit those notes without subharmonics eventually.

Ok this was a great reaction! Knowing that you like Bass now you have to check out his latest cover of an old elvis standard called Way Down. It is Fabulous! Im not an Elvis fan but im obsessed with that one. All of his solo work is stunning but as the Bass of VoicePlay next to Eli ,Laine ,and now Cesar they are an amazing unit too check out We dont talk about Bruno.

I think Geoff is more of a baritone bass because he can sing really high for a bass. I am more of a basso profundo because I speak with a naturally fry sound in my voice. I can sing baritone notes and some tenor but I can't sing the full ranges of them and I need to really change my mouth shape and how I produce sound for each octave. I also use subharmonics but I hardly notice be my voice kinda naturally has a fry sound but I can hit crazy low notes hit the lowest note on the piano the issue is that note would never be used singing because it is to low to hear.

I don’t know anything about singing. But your comment makes it sound insanely more awesome and complex than I assumed

@@link1117 bass is the rarest voice type but bass is required for the foundation of chords etc. If it is in something other than acapella instruments can handle it. These 3 are masters at singing that low and strong.

Their?

@@morbiusfacebooklive Gender-neutral, I guess

@@maksphoto78 geoff is a he so?

@@morbiusfacebooklive I hoestly don't know. But I wouln't blame both boys and ladies falling in love with him.

His voice is deeper than the drums in the deep…

Please!!

Or his cover of "in my room" by the beach Boys. It's INCREDIBLE.

What is also common to them is that they report that their low range developed when they trained their high range. Tim Foust explicitly recommends to practice your high falsetto to improve your low end.

He has also narrated some short stories and poems.

His speaking voice is pretty deep too

@@junk8746 He uses subharmonics for the really low notes. Subharmonics is the most difficult base technique because you use fry and chest voice at the same time.

@@bronsonleach3573 Wrong. It's done by singing the fundamental pitch and the 5th from the fundamental at the same time, and the resultant pitch is an octave below the fundamental. Fry only aids in allowing this to happen.

@@WSlopeAggie I tried to simplify it many people probably don't know what you even mean. As long as they get the basic idea so they can play around with it. I didn't know how to do it until I watched a video of it and have used it in my bass singing ever since to add volume to my low notes that I can hit in chest voice but not very loudly.

So do you have any tips for someone trying to control their voice at the lower ranges? I'm typically a bass singer, but have been stuck lately in the baritone/baribass range. I want to get louder though while singing low.

@@Deerhunterjs Unfortunately, I can't help you with volume. I have a very quiet voice, even when I speak. It's something I struggle with whenever I film a cover. As far as control goes, I've had a lot of luck mixing in a spoken tone for lower notes. It gives me a bit more stability down there. I'm also very blues influenced, so it works well with my style.

@@johnhmaloney I do mainly country, and sing karaoke. No one can sing as low as I can where I go, but I need to keep working at it. I wanna learn subharmonics too since that could be interesting to play with.

@@Deerhunterjs Subharmonics would be really interesting in country. I think that's how Geoff Castellucci managed to hit that really big sounding low note in the video. Th fundamental was a G2, but he has to have some other harmonics and maybe some fry going on for it to sound like that.

@@Deerhunterjs I agree with John, that spoken tone helps going lower; I have a stammer (mid word stutter) I’ve found going low the stammer has helped get down to the first octave, think it was G1 but it ended up hurting after trying to repeat, was trying a cover of the Sound of Silence when it happened; I’m fairly comfortable down to a D2 though, I do this through a spoken tone; I’ve stolen the Johnny Hawkins method of vibrato and have been able to work it down to a B1, I just sing cause I like it; so don’t really have a genre I follow, am most comfortable with slower stuff though, occasionally I’ll try a bit of fry but still working on that; missus loves it when I sing Alanis’ - Thank You in the first and second octave though……………………… Just practice mate, I still pay people to help me race better even though I’ve been on race tracks since I was 7; no shame in in getting the right support to better yourself; I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s even an app for it

is colms deep voice even legit? not digital effects?
