Thanks Geoff. You're the best!

Geoff Castellucci love the tips Geoff thank you so much

Hey, Geoff! Thanks for the great video! Also, I loved seeing Barons skull cane in the background 💀 amazing video there too. Lol. Anyways, thanks again, and I hope you're having a fantastic New Year!

I am Brazilian and I really like these types of video thanks, please try to put the subtitles in Portuguese, I know it takes work but I find these classes very important but I can not understand most of the English words, because in Brazil there is practically no video lesson of bass and baritone vocal techniques. (Eu sou Brasileiro e gosto muito desses tipos de vídeo obrigado, por favor tente colocar as legenda em português, Eu sei que dá trabalho porém eu acho essas aulas muito importantes porém não consigo entender a maioria das palavras em inglês ,Porque no Brasil praticamente não tem vídeo aula de técnicas vocais para baixo e barítonos.)

its just gonna be him rumbling

Omg yes

plz

Imagine him singing subharmonics on sulfur hexaflouride

He'll be accused for causing an earthquake...

So true

Cow dot PY he’s just making us feel better about ourselves

And that he has to get real close to the mic for those super low notes to be that clear, And that he doesn't just hit them all the time. I am new to bass singing techniques, but have apparently I've been practicing them all my life. I have always just made all of these weird noises and imitated sounds and deep voices. Now I just got to put them all together.

Yeah that's when it dawns on you there are somehow voices even more extreme than this. His control is so good.

And I admit that I'm not even close to there yet.

Lol

is the soprano a dude? or are they a girl and their crush is gay?

@Caleb Brecken idk what I can hit exactly with subharmonics it's something in the higher 1st octave I'm also 17

@Caleb Brecken oh yeah I can do that

@Caleb Brecken I'm 16, still working on subharmonics but my growls go to D1

I can hit an E1 with subharmonics, I'm 12. Sounds ok

Caleb Brecken i'm 17, I can get to a D1 with subharmonics.

THANKS!!!

Practitioner of strohbass here, which is the topic. Strohbass doesn't use ventricular folds, no ; kargyraa *seems* to do from what I understand of it (and I could be wrong on that), but not strohbass. By strohbass I mean the kind of subharmonics that is really a mix between chest voice and vocal fry, what Geoff is talking about here. It's (one of) the sweet spot(s) in-between chest and fry. It is accessible to women, I've seen my choir director use it in front of me the other day. I'm not too sure about how that sounds for women though, because this register really shines in the lows. The production of sound in this register is a little bit hairy : one desyncs their vocal folds, and they "sync" again at a perfect fifth. One vocal fold vibrates at the frequency of the tone you want to drop an octave, and the other vocal fold vibrates a perfect fifth either above or under that fundamental (I'm not really clear on that one, still have to research more). It means that your vocal folds do not vibrate at the same speed, and do not touch each other at every vibration, but for physical reasons, every other vibration of your original note frequency ( When one does 1 vibration, the other does 2/3 of one.). It seemed strange initially, so I verified on an oscilloscope, and that's effectively what's happening. The result is the octave under because your fundamental's frequency is halved. Also, when researching combined and resulting tones, I thought the octave under was mostly imagined by our brain, and if, yes, it helps a lot that our brain does the harmonics math, the sound still exists, it can be observed on a spectrum analyzer. A fun thing that happens, is that the note we sing in chest voice, when we go into strohbass, becomes the second harmonic of a new fundamental that is the octave below. There are multiple strohbass registers, an infinity actually, they match the undertone series (David Larson on YT shows it off if you look for "2nd subharmonics" on his channel). I'm currently working on the second one, for the heck of it, it's much much harder than the first one, for probably not much use in practice due to having to think in 5ths instead of octaves. Strohbass, now that I'm used to it, helps a little bit with relaxation, I've found, and my director advised to keep practicing it at least a little bit every day. Regarding training to get to it, I personally would advise not more than 10 minutes a day. I did 15 mins a day, while being advised 20 mins a day, and I still lost my voice twice. 5-10 mins at most, I'm getting back to that little time dedicated to it for 2nd strohbass. Like Geoff said, you're not used to doing that, this will be exhausting for at least a couple of months.

Go girl💪

There’s hope! I can only get lower with fry right now but I’m practicing!

girls also can do subharmonic!

Wow!! I never know that girls can reach to the 1st octave 😀😀

So true! My daughter started learning around 14. A couple of short vids are posted on my KZfaq channel. One recently (A1) and a (B1) when she was 14! Best of luck!

you mean like gabriel iglesias when he does his valley girl voice at the fast food drive through! XD

Thank you so much!

prove it

also the world record note is a d2, nice try

@@dogrestgd350 Actually, the world record is an A1.

@@dogrestgd350 yeah it is, but I’m pretty sure that’s for regular vocals. Not for subharmonics

@@slytherlynn7775 they never posted a video or anything proving it

sometimes all it takes is for someone to explain it in a different way to make us understand what to do. that's why I often check out several tutorial videos on the same subject to see if maybe a different approach is the right way for me to understand what to do 🙂

actually, some women can go as low as Geoff himself if practiced enough! there's a second part to the subharmonic technique I've been learning. it allows us to reach notes all the way down to Eb1s for example with the fundamental note being Eb3. will upload a video when i master this technique, check out David Larson's video tho he's awesome

@@kitch.9785 That is nice! I would really like to see it done by a woman (Eb1). Let me know when you have uploaded the video. (I saw David's video)

If you write it on google translate in italian and listen to it that's the correct pronounciation (pronounci...did I write that word correctly?)

THAT's in PART 2 - - - COMING SOON!

I think when you change vowels your overtones automatically change, if you go from eeeeeiiiiiiioooooo your overtones will go from high to low

Mamava My daughter can sing low in her modal voice but she can also produce subharmonics. She enjoys it but of course most of her time is spent working on her upper register. 👍🏽

Here’s a video of Tim Riley talking about the mask technique: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcmff7d4vsqRo5s.html To all interested in bass singing, If you don’t know Tim Riley he’s definitely worth a google.

thanks

You just gotta keep trying... you'll figure it out.

Use a piano tuner app to tell you what pitch you are making. If the app shows a drop in pitch of an octave then you have slipped into subharmonics. That is probably the best way to know.

In my experience, try to hit some comfortable note and immediately try a vocal fry on that note. Then, try to figure out the exact amount of air to breathe out and you'll "hit" a note from time to time. Some smartphone apps for pitch will help you out as well, you know if you hit some subharmonics by the pitch dropping down by approximately an octave

Find a very comfortable but lower note then sing it for a few second in an oh or an ooh vowel while keeping that note try to activate ur vocal fry without changing your original note until you slip into it and then start focusing on that sound and bettering it. hope that helps.

All you have to do is find a note and then, try to do fry but don't immediately fry it. Slowly experimenting with it. Make sure you have enough volume in your voice to achieve it

This clip will be in next geoff Castellucci's vocal range video for sure

Marcia G, a cliffhanger would be if he plans on actually answering the question in part two, but I have a feeling he just doesn’t want to say who he thinks is best.

If you turn on closed captioning it says "you" at the very end of the video

Blue Newton, considering that the only option KZfaq gives me for captions is “English (auto-generated),” which means it’s using speech-to-text software, where does that “you” come from?⁉️

@@DennisKovacich I wouldn't be able to tell you why it appeared on my screen, as I just pushed the c button to turn on captions, but i can assure you that it was there when I watched it.

I just watched it with captions after you mentioned it, and the “you” shows up at the very end when there is no sound or speech, and hasn’t been any for several seconds. I wasn’t really expecting you to be able to answer the question. I just think it’s weird that it pops up like that.

2) yea i sometimes accidentally speak in subharmonics bc my throat is relaxed

​@@johntangggg I've spoken a lot of 2nd and 3rs subs accidentally, have no idea how, it happen to me a lot!!!😂😂😂😂 Today I have spoken accidentally a 2nd Subharmonic G1. But I accidentally speak a first subharmonic E1/D1/C1.

It's what I get when I drop a lamp on my foot

I can hit a D1 and then also do a semi descent whistle note

Avi can do a whistle note, but it's not a particularly high reach (though it is for him).

@@jaysondawkins3997 i'm not sure what you're saying sorry

@@daniellucas5522 No they are overtones which is different. He just tunes and amplifies a certain overtone using his tongue (mainly centered around a sort of "urrr" vowel). Whistle voice is done by constricting your vocal folds and pushing air through, this is why it can be accessed through vocal fry as the vocal folds are pushed tightly together when doing fry. When whistling you vocal folds don't actually vibrate so that's how you can tell when you are doing it by just feeling for vibrations in your throat. If you feel nothing then you got it!

Well yeah kinda, whistle tones are similar to fry in that they both involve locking down parts of the vocal cords, you know, holding them together, not letting parts of the cords move. And some people teach whistle tones by using techniques that involve frying.
