Vocal Coach reacts to Geoff Castellucci - The Bare Necessities | Bass Singer Cover 

yeah i noticed a lot of react channels say he’s using fry to reach those lower notes when he really doesn’t need it 😂

@@trevbenitez Serious? omg it's clearly not fry

Geoff uses subharmonics for many of his really low notes.

chopstix396 yes I know 🤦‍♂️she said he was using fry when it was chest

This is usually why I don't watch voice teachers react to Bass covers.

Yup, it isn't vocal fry, is just chest, and he did a sub-harmonic G1 at second 19 of his video

@@deakyfics8985 You know how subharmonics is produced, right ? Right ? ---- She's explained why he sounds gritty in the lows ( 3:12 ), and she's absolutely right that he sometimes uses fry not just for subharmonics, but for embellishment at the start of phrases ( 2:41 is one example, 2:45 is another : " *where* ever I wander, *where* ever I roam"). If it sounds like subharmonics, I have news folks, it's because subharmonics *is* fry. She's demonstrated fry too. If she just tried to have just a tiny bit more chord closure she would pop into subharmonics, even if just for half a second. I don't know what everyone is actually discussing, in this thread or any of the others. She knows what she's talking about, she's right about it, she just seems to be a stranger to the concept and practice of subharmonics, but that's it. But people need to realize that subharmonics as it's most commonly known is a form of fry.

@@lonewaer " Subharmonics is fry" Regarding this, I have to mention that there are many different opinions of whether fry and subharmonics is the same. Most I have seen say they are completely different registers. Not saying you're wrong, both subharmonics and fry are not modal ,but the sound produced by subharmonics and fry is different. In subharmonics you layer the fry with chest voice . Fry on the other hand is just fry alone. Fry is much more naturally occurring phenomenon than subharmonics Hence people practice and practice to finally get subharmonics . You could say that subharmonic has fry, but if you're saying they are the same, not many people will agree with you on that.

@@lonewaer I'm not sure subharmonics are fry. They're the false cords. They naturally produce a tone an octave below regular so challenge is to close those while keeping the regular cords out of it where possible. They dirty the sound. That's how I understand it though of course I'm not looking into my own throat when I'm doing them 😊

@@reubenthomas7907 If you have a look at a spectrometer subharmonics drop the main pitch entirely. It's not layered onto the chest voice pitch that goes entirely. Apologies if I am misunderstanding you or being pedantic.

Jargien hi, just curious, as a low baritone, what’s your lowest comfortable note?

@@Ptxlive Was a while since I sang but when I tried now (Had to find an online piano to check what note it was) it was a D2 quite comfortably. I can go lower but D2 is around the lower point just of the bat. At least I think that is a low baritone, my old choire leader use to say that at least but then I also sang in the lower tenors some times. But voice has changed again since then.

If you’re a baritone you can play with subharmonics and fry to learn your lower range. About 10 months ago I was playing with my fry and what I did was go into what I thought was my lowest note and then let it come apart into fry. I then increased the air pressure using my abdominals to “push” the individual bleats back together until they made a note. A bunch of things happened. Firstly I learned how to super relax my vocal cords and get into lower chest notes. Secondly I discovered subharmonics. I can go between chest and subharmonics and back again on the same note. If I switch into subharmonics I can get down to a B1 comfortably and if I sit there and work it I can go much lower than that. In isolation I can get the subharmonic G1 but doing it dynamically in a song isn’t something I have mastered yet. I can’t count the number of times I’ve sung along to this song to my baby daughter and tried to hit that G1. It has happened but not often. The other strange thing that happened from doing that exercise was I got some upper range extension from it. That’s an odd thing, or so I thought but my voice coach says it’s because you’re training your vocal cord closure which gives you both that gritty bleat and the ping in the upper range.

oh it was you! lol

When I was in college, working as a computer lab assistant, I was in my boss’ office one day when she had a radio on. I think it was either the Oak Ridge Boys or the Statler Brothers, and I was singing along with them. When I matched the bass dropping an octave below what was already low, her jaw almost left a divot in the floor!

And subharmonics

@@joefran2513 Yeah, true. But Im sure she didnt catch the layered subharmonic G1. And she probably doesnt know what is subharmonics.

@@reubenthomas7907 True, true

@@reubenthomas7907 I doubt that a vocal coach doesnt know what subharmonics is.

@@DrippCyplex Most of these vocal coaches dont know shit about basses. Calling Tim Foust a Basso profondo, C'mon( someone else had done this not this vocal coach). Not saying all vocal coaches dont know what subharmonics are, but most of them don't know what they are.( and there's a good chance this one doesnt know it).

JD lowest note is a c0 right ? just asking because Geoff can hit a c#0 so they actually have a similar low range

Pedro Tenorio where have u heard about geoff hitting a c#0?

@@Kenny...... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U_l8P7is4Aw.html here (i don´t know if it´s true)

@@pedrotenorio3155 JD's lowest note is a G0 in chest voice, Geoff is a brilliant singer but he can't come close to that

@@Slamthulhu oh, J.D is a wonderful bass, thank you 🙃

You can use vocal fry almost anywhere in your range except up high.

Oh 😯. Still love it.

Scotland is a part of Great Britain isn't it? So it's still a British accent. If she said it's an English accent… Then you can correct her.

Well I never said anything about “who they like”… I was asking about them being part of Great Britain…

I have seen Beth herself referred to herself as “we BRITs”. So your fear mongering has no place here.

@Phil Stehle Phil!! Don't be butthurt about what we think bro 😂 regardless of where she's from

I've heard a few basses, including Geoff, say that working on your higher notes also helps to extend your lower ones.

Geoff placed Tim above him always 😁

Never mind you already did it! Haha

there's definitely bassier basses than Vladimir

Mikhail Zlatopolsky, Vladimir Pasjukov...

@@matthewdockray9745 Vladmir Miller himself would be the first to tell that.
