I’ve been trying Vocalized Chest Bass for so long and watched so many tutorials (still struggling tho). Your way of teaching comes so natural and it’s somehow captivating listening to your explanations. One of THE best tutorials I’ve watched, no cap. Keep up the great work lad :))
Dude, this is such a good explanation. You’re so in depth with everything and it’s so easy to follow your steps. Definitely taking note of your warning to drink water haha. Thanks man you’re great!
Thank you for this tutorial ! I'm a Tuvan throat singing teacher and you made me understand what some of my students were hitting when trying to do the Kargyraa (aka Throat Bass). I was also able to do this position/sound and didn't really know what it was, if it was the false vocal fold or not. (We are still not sure until someone does a laryngoscopy but I have a better vision of this technique) I explored the Thoat Bass subharmonic few years ago (you can check my videos so see the 4th and 5th Subharmonic) Basically what you are teaching here is the 2nd and 3rd Subharmonic (Technically it's the 3rd and 4th), but we surely can do more subharmonics than that :) I love your Demon Bass too, I tought I could do it but mine is definitely different so that's not it (mine is cool though). I'd love to see a tutorial for this sound ! Keep going, you gained one more subscriber :)
Thank you so much! I love your singing and it's super interesting hearing your perspective on things! Would love to chat with you about your research and other stuff!
Thank you alkmi, its so cool to see you here!! Most of my knowledge came from your stuff, you got me really interested in the sceince behind beatboxing! I love your work!
@@MazeFrogBeatbox oh wow, much love, that means a lot to me, my friend❤️❤️🙏🙏🔥🔥🇯🇵🇺🇸🇰🇷❤️ it makes me feel beyond fulfilled that this knowledge is starting to propagate and help spread to equip more folks than what my generation of beatboxing had available to us when we first started our journeys. Big ups, big love❤️🙏 your VCB sounds very nice too my friend🔥❤️
@@VICKERY- eyyy much love to my brother vickery beast❤️🙏I hope you’ve been well and having a great beatbox journey, my friend. I’ve been good🔥❤️ been working on certain vocal basses and some routines
you do really good explanations you are very good at explaining i think you should keep going you could become a very big person in the beatbox scene thanks
The interval part of the chest bass is pretty interesting, and I think a lot of chest basses get mistaken for throat bass when there's an octave interval, but when you have that 5th or 7th interval between the vocalization and chest bass it sounds way more distinct and "growly" or powerful as you described. Really cool video and it's always cool to see some music theory being applied.
Idk how I can thank you, i had been trying chest bass since last year but I couldn't figure how its done, watched some tutorials but still can't so I dropped the idea of learning that. Dlow dropped his video today mentioning chest bass, so I tried a little bit and felt some vibration, and then your video popped out and tried it. Guess what, I got it. Once again, thank you (*subscribed*)
best explanation ive ever seen kinda helps me with inward bass indirectly since inward fry is vocal/false cords and inward bass is epiglottis used to think this was my throat bass lmao
What a great tutorial! So insightful!!! Before u explain and demonstrate, I never would've thought of BV's Bass and yours as VCB because the two parts blend so well. To me, Colaps and Wunknown's VCB sounded more obvious as I can hear the airy texture of chest bass going on. It sure had an interval of a fifth(or an octave plus a fifth) while being more airy and less resonant.(Personally I prefer your texture)Since you didn't mention them in the video, I just wanna know your opinions on their VCB. Much love to you bro
THANK YOU SO MCUH!!! Im super glad you enjoyed the video, there is more to come! The only real difference between BV's VCB and Colapses and Wunknowns VCB is the "sharpness" or "how loose it is" (the amount of air and pressure), so the intervals are all the same (1 octave + a perfect fifth)
Its been done. The first Rly Vocalisted Chest Bass Tutorial for the BV Bass that actually explains why BV s Bass sounds like it does. Man ultra sick!!! I even wanned to do a Video but your the First one xD. Iv been trying to get it like for 3 years....next time do your Tutorial a bit faster xD I THANK YOU FROM THE TOP OF MY BEATVOX HEART litterly my favourite sound!!!
I think u have no idea how much this means for me. Now i can learn it and spam my favourite sound my whole life thanks to your understanding explaining
Man what a great tutorial. It's so weird. Years ago I thought I learned throat bass and after that even vibration bass. What I actually somehow learned by mistake was vocalized chest bass and when I thought I managed to learn vibration bass it was actually the "one octave and a fifth" vocalized chest bass. Learning throat bass is so stupid now because the muscle memory in my throat just wants to chest bass all the time
@@MazeFrogBeatbox Thanks man. Yeah I realized after finishing your video that the harmonic interval was probably the magic sauce I’m missing. Great tutorials though!
Hey man. I think adding just a couple of timestamps would go a long way for your tutorials, awesome stuff otherwise. I can do the sound, but I am really bad at vocalizing it, so I had to skip through a bunch. EDIT: Saw you added comment stamps in the newest one. Is it not possible to do it in the timebar? Still, great work!
U remind me of Lofe😅. Nice tutorial tho. I’ve tried learning this sound many times in the past year but I just don’t understand it. I’ve worked vibration bass for a solid year and a half so it’s fairly clean. Whenever I’m trying to do vocalized chest bass I end up falling into vibration bass and I’m finding it hard to break this habit
I'm not 100% sure im doing it right because when i try and push the vocal note when doing the chest bass i just default to vibration bass. Any idea on what i could be doing wrong?
I cant even do a basic chest bass so I will comment everytime I watch this vid 1.Sunday 4/6/2023 - Nothing 2.Friday 9/6/2023 - I can feel a lil vibration in my chest.After a few minutes(I got that vibration when I’m doing the Kermit’s voice😱) 3.Saturday 10/6/2023 - I can do a normal chest bass but cant vocalized it yet
hm idk if its just me, but ive been beatboxing for a while alrdy and every time i attempt to learn any bass besides the vocal bass, my throat hurts after just practising for like 2 mins. that shouldnt be normal right? but can i even learn it, if it hurts just to practise a little bit?
It's totally normal for the throat to hurt! Beatbox basses are very unnatural so they will cause discomfort at first, but i promise that it will all go away quickly with good practice! Drink 🌊💦
@@UsedAlex_FJ it wont sound that crisp at first, but after a couple months of good practice ut will sound great! You just have to do the right thing, the more control you have over the sound the better
Very nice tutorial, helped alot! But fun fact bass venturas bass isn't actually vocalised chest bass! I don't know what it is but it isn't actually vocalised, he can vocalise it and then he can produce some really nice polyphony, but in its usual form it's not vocalised!
@@MazeFrogBeatbox I thought so too at first, it certainly sounds it! I had a couple lessons with him a while ago and he showed me, and as hard to believe as it is, it isn't vocalised, it's craxy
@@MazeFrogBeatbox neither do I. I’ve heard him do the unvocalized version and then the regular one which is vocalized. It’s definitely what MazeFrog is saying.
@@ThorFlix The starsky/ alexinho bass is uvula + falsetto voice (high voice)! Thats totally different from the vocalised chest bass im teaching in this video. Try doing a kermit voice with just your chest voice and try pushing it a little bit and see if that takes you in the right direction. The uvula is not at all used in the vocalised chest bass.
Hey, I don’t know if your responding to these comments. But I’ve been doing beatboxing for a bit more than a year and I’ve been trying this for a while. I have trouble where my vocal pitch is one octave above my chest vibration which doesn’t give it a very good sound. But if I try to raise my vocal pitch it turns in to regular throat bass and I can’t do the right non vocal vibration in combination. Just wondering if you had any tips. I love doing crazy vocal things, and if your up for it I’d love to chat more on something else. Thanks
perhaps try making it more airy and aim for highr notes? I don"t quite understand how raising your vocal pitch turns a vocalized chest bass/slizzer bass into a throat bass though. Do you have an instagram or a discord? I can help you on there!
As i said in the video, when i do lower notes i use very little air snd very little pressure, that helps to slow down the chest bass. Also Ive been practicing this bass for almost a year now :)
because it is a chest bass (vibration of the epiglottis) that we are vocalizing (adding the vibration of our vocal folds). The throat bass is also a “vocalized bass”! But the vibration that we are vocalizing in the case of throat bass is not from the epiglottis (like the chest bass), but its a vibration of the false folds which are totally separate from the epiglottis. And also throat bass is a subharmonic technique and vocalised chest bass isn’t. I’m currently working on a detailed throat bass tutorial actually! It should be out in a few days!
@@MazeFrogBeatbox Cool! I'll be looking forward to this. But I have to disagree, the bass from this video is actually a subharmonic technique, you can see for yourself if you look at the spectrogram. I've noticed something weird about the throat bass and what goes with it. People call throat bass both regular subharmonic singing and vocalized chest bass. I've seen it in many places, but for example in Remix's video "How To Beatbox - Vocalized Chest Bass Tutorial" at 1:03 he shows the throat bass that I meant in my comment, which is vocalized chest bass (it's literally the sound I get when I add my voice to a regular chest bass). Whereas in your video and in many other videos, throat bass is just normal subharmonic singing. And one more discrepancy: in the same video from Remix what is called vocalized chest bass is a bass with two subharmonics (also see the spectrogram), that is as if it is a vocalized chest bass with additional subharmonics, but your video shows a bass with one subharmonics (I don't know why it doesn't sound like a regular throat bass). This bass is also often called a vibration bass along with the normal singing of the second subharmonic. There is a lot of confusion.
@@qtsi'm sorry bro but: 1. the interval is way too large to create a subharmonic, and your spectogram analysis could be picking up simply the ratio we have set with our voices. 2. Remix has no clue what he is talking about and basically did CLR/Zombie bass the whole time. 3. The "throat bass" you can make this sound similar to is slizzer bass or modified throat bass, both of which using the epiglottis. Me and mazefrog tried HARD to research and understand everything and we have a very good understanding of what he says.
@@teniejc 1. I don't know what interval and what ratio you are talking about, but if you look at the spectrogram you can see that with this bass mazefrog can reach at least 35 hz, I don't believe he could go that low on the base tone of anything, epiglottis or vocal cords, that's why I assumed that somehow subharmonics are created. 2. I couldn't find anything called "zombie bass", and what the CLR guy (if you meant him) was doing doesn't sound like what Remix is doing. 3. So what is a throat bass? Any tutorial I come across right now shows the bass I'm referring to with that "throat clearing" method, and that's exactly the bass you get if you add a voice to the chest bass as I said earlier. I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, I just want a conversation. And I brought Remix as an example not because I think he has the right sound names, but to let you know that there are discrepancies that at least I want to clear up.
