@@KorZen10 It really depends on the singer, some really scream and have such a low voice that it sounds like a growl (Glenn Benton), some actualy simply scream just soft enough to not hurt their throat (Tom Araya, Chuck Billy when he does extreme vocals etc.).

Another alto/contralto here! How low can you sing. My lowest good note is a C3. I'm so sick and tired of all the people celebrating the very high notes (I have no chance at all to hit), I started to evolve my low notes, even if nobody notice it is difficult too. So I can expand my vocal range on the other end and have the possibility to sing the tenor songs, without any strain, even if it sound somekind of weird an wrong (it's still a female voice). Because there are nearly no good songs for contraltos in musicals or films.

It's like an earthquake. XD Literally. XD I can do everything else but the growl. I guess I have a good excuse for not being able to go that far, because I'm a female and I don't really want to go THAT low. I'm really proud of myself for getting this low though. Thanks Geoff! :)

Very underrated comment my friend 😂

Seems like the type of thing that needs to be practiced once a day, every (or maybe every other) day.

What he means is that growls do hurt in the beginning and they really do, but if you continue to do it while your Throat hurts, you can seriously really fuck up your vocal chords, And what we was saying with this was to not rush it, practising stuff like this takes time, so if your throat starts to really hurt, "take a break and try again later"

basically, at first, take lotsa breaks

If hurts you're doing it wrong.

It will dry your chords, both vocal and false, it you put the fry in the wrong part of your throat, so aim to make the sounds above your chords and use the throat shape to create the harmonics and resonance. And have good by breath support, as if you were preparing to belt. When you first find where to make the sound and how you are not using your main vocal chords, it is surprising as hell 😄

I honestly have no clue scientifically how much ones speaking voice correlates to their singing. I'm only a 15 yr old learning bass and i speak right in between the 2st and 3rd octave which would make me more speak in an average baritone even though I know for a fact I'm a bass singer. I guess I can't say much about it until I grow much older since everyone's voice is always maturing, especially basses. But yeah, i don't know how much one's speaking voice correlates to their part. Probably has a lot to do with age

@@raphaelkelly861 I speak around an g2 and I'm a baritone

I’m a 17 year old bass baritone and I speak between G2-E2 sometimes too - my earliest recollection of my vocal range was D2-A3 and now I’m topping at A4 in full voice and I’m put in the choir’s tenor section because I can, largely thanks to mixed voice. I know a tenor only a year ahead of me who can hit C2s (and he is definitely a tenor, he’s just practiced his lows a lot and he also likes getting into vocal fry too) too. Vocal types are really broad so it’s all about your speaking voice and your natural timbre.

@@themriron2391 Same here, I talk between a E2 and G2, my lowest It's a D2, in a good day a C2, and my highest (in chest) is a G4 (I'm not saying I can belt that high everytime, normally is an E4 ), I'm 16.

of course

he didnt do the E1 perfectly, it came out flat which if anything is actually even more impressive

I've never met an artist of any kind that gives themselves the credit they deserve. That's what makes a successful artist. They're always trying to get better at their art.

it took me 2 weeks to hit c1 with nice clear tone... we are just built differently bro. insted its been a 3 years struggle for me to hit higher notes, some progress, yes.. But i just cant go high and it dosnt matter how mutch i want it. i mean my headvoice starts at b2.. Yes im in headvoice, B2! and its F#####in impossble to hit c4 without going into falsetto.... yes, c1 sounds frikking awesome to hit, and how it resonance.. feels pritty damn good. yes. But thats also pritty mutch it.. a few awsome notes thats almost never really used.... Guess how many songs i can sing with a range from e2 and c4, maybe d4.... its like 10 songs.. i wish i could be a barritone or any other range for that matter. Yes, obviously some lower bass singer hits barritone easily. But trust me, Geoff range, and his vocal skill. Its like comparing a 100m olympic runner with a amature highschool 100m runner that is best in his school. few people can do what he can do. few! in my experience, if your talking voice isnt around f2 b2, ish. +- 3 tones.. something like that... its deffinatly not impossible, ive heard a guy with a very high speaking voice and i guess is like treble, maybe even tenor. but he hits c1d1e1f1 even subhormnic perfectly.. soo, who am i to say what can or cant be done... but if you tried for 2 years, then either there is something wrong with how you practice, idk. then something can be done. othertwise. maybe you should practice to hit notes thats more comfortable for you insted? just saying. i will never say to anyone, "you cant", all im saying, 2 years bro.. 2 years.. maybe its time to change strategy?

The best part is, if you have closed captions on for Oogie Boogie Song, when he says "man" at the end, the CC says "subterranian" lol

Late to this, but the growl that Geoff was talking about, in beatboxing terms, is chest bass. Since Mongolian throat singing, aka. throat bass/vibration bass (the subharmonic version of throat bass), uses the arytenoid cartilages to create the vibration by overlapping with our normal voice, while the growl, aka. chest bass, uses the epiglottis to vibrate, which does not include our voice. That's why you can vocalise the growl/chest bass in order to have, in beatboxing terms, vocalised chest bass, which is well-known for being used by Bass Ventura, Colaps, Sxin, etc.

I actually laughed out loud haha.

Thank you, you amazing stranger!

What was 1?

​@@thechh8297Just having a low voice already.

The drink brand?

Obama?

Yes essentially. Here’s some more explanation I wrote a while back with a bit of maths. Every time you go up an octave, the frequency of the note is doubled (eg. A4 = 440hz, A5 = 880hz, A2 = 110hz etc). Let’s take the note A2 (110hz). Let’s use A2 as the fundamental to produce an A1. A perfect fifth above A2 is E3 (roughly 164.814hz). We know the vocal cords during subharmonics vibrate in a 3:2 ratio. The ratio between a tonic note and a perfect fifth is about a 3:2 ratio (give or take). So the ratio of E3:A2 is 3:2 (110hz = 2, so 55 = 1, therefore 3 = 3 x 55 which is 165, so E3 = 165 (roughly). This means when doing subharmonics, your vocal cords vibrate to relax at a 3:2 ratio, meaning they’re basically vibrating a perfect 5th apart. I would assume this also means you can also hear a bit of an E3 in the the subharmonics while you’re doing this. As for why singing in a perfect 5th produces an octave undertone? I don’t know. I’d assume it’s because the vocal cords are physically in contact with each other for less time as they’re vibrating at different speeds, so I would assume the fact that they are in contact with each other less frequently, let’s say they’re only in contact with each only 55 times a second (55hz = A1) instead of the usual 110 times a second like a normal A2 is (110hz), produces that octave drop below the fundamental.

​@@matthewdockray9745 The short behind why is sounds as the undertone is, as far as I understand, because our human ears are not terribly smart. Every note produces overtones in its harmonic series. So if you get a big, bass-y A1(Thanks Geoff) that note is actually sounding as an A1, 110Hz, and then decreasingly loud like an A2-220Hz, E3-330Hz, A4-440Hz, etc. Because of this natural phenomena, the brain is already accustomed to hearing the harmonic series when a note is truly produced so hearing that same series the brain helps to make it sound a bit more normal by filling in some gaps.

Minor detail you missed, it's actually your normal cords doing this, left chord and right chord... The frequencies have a triplet pattern, and our ears only really hear whenever both chords hit at the same time.

@@leopirdas6577, how could your true vocal cords produce two notes at the same time? I always hear people say that your singing two notes at the same time, to me it seems more like the vocal cords are only actually making contact half the number of times that they're supposed to and that's why the note is an octave lower. And then your brain for some reason fills in the original note so you end up hearing two notes when in reality you're just singing one Would you agree?

@@chrismartinez144 partly. It's like this, your right chord vibrates 220 times a second, the left goes 330 times a second, but they only hit 110 times a second, so we hear the 110 hz. However, that note doesn't technically exist (it won't really show up on those pitch graph thingy ma dolly whoopers). That make sense? My whole argument is that it's only your normal vocal folds vibrating, your false folds aren't vibrating in *this* subharmonic technique. Your false folds are engaged whenever you're doing kagyraa or throat singing/throat bass

Same here!

CAUTION: if at any time you feel your ovaries descending, STOP IMMEDIATELY! Put on some Celine Dion, lie down, rest, and allow the poor girls to return to their original, upright position.

Oh, just a bass attempting soprano notes over here.

Same ;w;

Same here but at least I can do a few subharmonics😂

Honestly there's a better way to learn it. There's a different way but it's from the beatbox community. We call it "throat bass" and there's plenty of variations, such as vibration bass. The basses can warp, such as evil bass, alien bass and such, but they won't be what you're looking for if you want to do bass singing

Same!

Being female doesn't prevent from learning subharmonics. This tutorial is a great help for me, it introduced me to certain aspects of my voice that I wasn't aware of and I never learnt in my coaching lessons. I managed to produce my first subhamonic notes and they're insanely low for me as a woman (used to be a high soprano, but remain to be an alto after 3x Covid). And, using vocal fry, I can quite hit low bass notes just as Geoff does, instable and with little variety but nevertheless. It's incredible.

My voice is also a mile away from this stuff, but it is so interesting, and the growl thing worked so perfectly! I dunno where I would EVER use it my higher pitches though. haha
