*Sings really deep That was neat. How did you do that? *Speaks with the deepest voice I have ever heard. Maybe that explains a thing or two..

This sounds like the voice you would imagine a centuries old oak tree would use if trees could talk

You just explained metal screaming a lot better than most people have on this platform.

Love the "*Figuratively" flash when he said "literally"!!! Excellent!

Geoff: **Says to clear throat** **Whole Earth vibrates**

“How to sing really really low.” Geoff: Literally just speak

I'm a female alto but hearing your voice, I found out that I can sing lower than my teacher thought I could. Your techniques are really cool! Thank you!

Besides valuing the info given, my "like" was for the honest, humble style in which Geoff presented the techniques.

"Girls talk in a higher pitch around guys they're interested in!" Girls talking to me:

Do you guys wanna be able to sing low? Jeff: yes Geoff: *yeos*

For anyone who was wondering, the subharmonic technique works like this: sound is made up of vibrations, slower vibrations make lower noises. When he is using the vocal fry, the hum is a slower vibration, making the note deeper. Hope this was helpful!

"How do sing really low?" Says the guy who sounds like landslide, calmly.

He's lying, it's all in the hair...the longer the hair = the lower your notes. That's why Geoff, Tim, and Avi have long hair.

0:36 - "How do you sing really low" "Be born a bass"

I think it’s incredible you can go that deep. I’ve been following your videos and singing for a short while now and continue to be impressed

That helps me insanely. You're just unbelievable great at explaining how to do it.

How to sing really low starts speaking oh. okay. LOL

Me, after Geoff first showing the growl technique: “wow, that’s really low!” Geoff: “once you get on mic and you cue the air out of it” Geoff: “ *_seismic demon sound_* ”

Impressive, really enjoy to hear you as well as voice play you guys are so good 👍

After about a year and a half of practice with subharmonics (after learning them from this video) I can now semi-consistently vibe in the first octave. Thanks for helping me with this, and can’t wait for your next song!

Geoff: “If it hurts, you should stop.” Also Geoff: “It’s gonna hurt like hell the first 500 times you do it.”

Not gonna lie but, Tim is the king of Growls. But you're the king of Subharmonics

I find this quite inspiring. Your speaking voice sounds like mine, and I always thought that singing was not really something I could ever become good at, because everything was out of my range. It's great to see you turning a particularity into an asset like this.

Your voice is amazing!

You and Tim are the best bass because y’all compliment each other

My father-in-law uses the "growl" to put babies to sleep. Its basically magic, he can take any crying baby, hold them to his chest and do the "growl" and they just put their head down on his shoulder and quietly fall asleep. Best party trick ever.

I'm so not a singer, in any way, shape or form, but I am in constant amazement at how you are able to make your singing voice go so low!

Thank you so much Geoff! I've been using this "tutorial" to expand my bass voice as well. I have been practicing for about 6 months now and I've gotten pretty good at it. I came back to this video to check my progress and I can do most of it except the "growl". I can finally hit the bottom of the scale that you sang at the beginning of the video.

"If your voice starts to hurt, stop" "there's no way around it, the first 500 times it's gonna hurt like hell"

His normal voice blows my mind. Forget lower. Now I have lost any ambition of being able to sing with bass. All the bass in the world is with this guy. None is left for me

Wow. It works. It freakin’ works😊 Thank you forever, Geoff!!

Impressive as always, thank you for the explanation. It was was fascination.

Avi: (long hair) Tim: (long hair) Geoff: (long hair) How to sing in a low voice: (grow long hair)

Says he’s terrible at subharmonics, but... Oogie Boogie...

That last piece of advice has really been the key insight in my own singing journey. I find that as I've gotten better at using the middle parts of my voice, the extremes have likewise gotten easier to manage, without even focusing on them.

Very candid and frank. Thank you for sharing! I've experimented with throat singing and overtone singing. This was useful and meaningful alongside that.

His normal voice is a pure ASMR experience. I could listen to his voice all day.

Why am I watching this?... I'm a soprano 😂😂😂

Thank you so much!!! This is what I've been missing this whole time!

Wow you have a very beautiful bass voice, even when you speak , such a deep, full, clear, warm and trained sound😻💠✨

Everyone after this: sings metal Me: *Far over, the misty mountains cold*

My jaw literally d r o p p e d - no one has ever explained and demonstrated sub-harmonic technique so clearly, holy crap

Thank you so much for these tips as they are concise and practical, I can now pitch down from falsetto to my lowest register in the same sustain. You are truly a rare talent and inspiration to the rest of us.

Your voice is amazing. I found myself humming along with you.

"How to sing low" Me, as a girl: Oh cool! Geoff: *says one word* Oh.

Sees title: “Oh, cool, this should be interesting!” Geoff: Has a voice low enough to hi-five Satan Me: 😐

Just found your channel. GREAT video, Geoff! You helped me a LOT on the the tips for me and the groups I sing bass in. I'm ALLways looking for tips and tricks for better quality both high and low.

Thank you Geoff! Fantastic tips!!!

Why am I watching this? I'm a tenor. Why am I saying that? I can't sing.

*does it perfectly* “I’ve been doing this for two years, I’m terrible at it.” *does it perfectly again* Geoff, you don’t give yourself enough credit

I am IN LOVE with your voice, man.

I'm so glad I found you. As a female with a natural deep voice since I was a child it's not expected of me to sound so low and most tutorials are to sing high notes. I'll be practicing. I also would love to throat sing. Thank you from the Scottish Highlands 😎🤘

His normal talking voice is like an octave and a half below mine, so I'm already off to a bad start.

"it's gonna hurt like hell" "if it hurts, take a break" hmm

You know, people have always been telling me I could be a bass, but I never believed it. Then I see your videos and realize, while I have the advantage of a lower voice, getting where I want is training, and patience. Thank you for the motivation to do work towards something I've only ever considered a fantasy. Your songs are just absolutely amazing.

I have sang bass in choir for my 76 years and never knew there was a way to develop low singing. I always thought it was the voice God gave you and did not not know you could develop or improve it. I throughly enjoy your singing. You have been given a great talent and improved on it. Keep up the good work.

"How to sing low: Have low voice"

The growl is literally one of the steps for Mongolian throat singing

I've been trying for weeks and just hit my first few subharmonics. I can hit all of 2 notes, F and G. Thank you so much!

Thank you sir. I appreciate your humility 😊

lord knows what a soprano is doing watching this but here i am

Geoff: *Gives us a detailed explanation of his methods of singing* Geoff's Adam's Apple: ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬅️↙️➿↗️

Geoff, you have a wonderful voice...you are a very talented man...your videos are great...the best!!!! ❤️

this helped a lot, i’m a high school bass who really wanted to be able to broaden my register into subharmonics and this video allowed me to do that!

2. Growl 0:57 1:43 3: Fry 3:00 4. Sub-Harmonics 3:48

Me as a soprano trying to do the growl technique is absolutely hilarious.

Hey, excellent video. Very matter-of-fact. Thanks for this!

Wow that's really interesting to learn about. Thank you!!

I am a voice coach and I am a tenor. I have a student who is a bass singer and this video has been amazingly helpful and beneficial. Truly. His range is reaching new lows that he didn't know was possible. Thanks.

Step 1: Have a deep ass voice.

Hi Geoff, best greetings from Italy! I play bass guitar and your advices are helping me to play better bass lines and really feel the notes I play; your tutorials are also useful to improve my English!

My voice changed at an early age (12) and I've always been told I'm a baritone. It's only been recent (since I found you on KZfaq that I've become more comfortable exploring the lower range of my voice. I've been trying for years to increase my higher range. I'm starting to feel more comfortable in the lower realms and exploring my bass sounds. I've always been complimented on my vocal range, but have never felt that comfortable as a baritone/bass. Thank you for making it "cool" to be a low singer. People are starting to notice my lower notes more and that I give them chills when they hear me nail a seriously low note.

Nobody: Geoff: Casually hits G1 within the first 3 seconds of the video

“My name is Geoff” We found him

Wow! These techniques take me back to my choir days in high school. I was mostly a baritone but I slid down to bass depending on what I was required to sing. I had a crazy range when I was 17. I could go to low base up to tenor and sometimes higher. Thank you for taking me back to my younger days.

Even when you talk your voice is extremely deep. This is not normal, believe me, you was gifted :D

even his normal voice is bass boosted XD

Geoff: It sounds gnarly in the air. ** puts mouth to microphone. ***Mirrors rattle off of my truck because of the bass. Me: Ah. I see.

Omg thank you so SO much! I’ve been really struggling with my voice as I couldn’t sing very high nor low and thanks to this I have a range I never thought I could have! Like singing high is so easy now and I can change my voice so easily! You are amazing 🙏🏻🤍

That part about doing vocal fry and be relaxed is the best tip. Thank you

"As you relax your voice you'll slip into your subharmonics" The only thing I slipped in was silence xD

I like how he prefaces some of the points by saying "you're gonna suck." Stuff like that genuinely keeps my expectations realistic and makes me respect the teacher.

This coloratura loves hearing you sing!

Love this!!

Geoff: it’s gonna hurt like hell Me: no way *loses my voice in 10 minutes*

I did not expect him to have a natural deep voice honestly lol He started talking I was like "ohhhhhhh. Now it makes sense" xD

The first time I heard your voice which was like...a week or two ago lmao I listened to your version of Misty Mountains Cold and I immediately told myself that I wanted my voice to go that low; I'm going to keep practicing because I hit a note earlier that I never thought possible and I want to keep doing that. Thank you for inspiring me to try new things and go out of my comfort zone.

I have a fairly high pitched female voice. And this worked first shot. Maybe not beautifully, but your approach for the technique was easily relatable at the gate. This was really fun. Thank you very much!

Alternate title: Treebeard shows you how to be one with the earth itself

He sounds like he's always singing, even when he's simply talking. It's simply amazing to me! And the fact that he's STILL learning, after already knowing so much pushes me to keep learning myself. You're amazing! Thank you for sharing!

Like your videos. Always been a bass myself and have recently learned false cord use. Introduced from The Hu and throat singing. Once I learned the technique, I noticed my metal growls deepened as well. Now I'm on this journey of how deep can I register and stumbled upon you, naturally. Insane the level of control you have.

The explanation of clearing your throat is helping me a lot ❤ thank you Geoff 😅

Geoff, I've been a bass my whole life of singing (from about age 13 to now, some 58 years). I caught your performance of "Big John" on KZfaq and I loved it! So much so that I posted it on Facebook (people who know me will not be surprised). I remember this song when it was released and I was a young fellow, just starting to sing. Jimmy Dean, who released this in 1961, and also Tennessee Ernie Ford, doing Sixteen Tons, with an earlier release. These songs, and songs like them, helped inspire me to not only sing, but to sing Bass. Your arrangment was really good, too. As a composer and arranger, I understand the kind of time, dedication, and talent it takes to do this. People don't seem to understand how much the arrangment of a song truly impacts the song's efficacy. I went on to teach music at public schools and also teach privately. All these years I have been singing bass in various groups (and still do today). In all that time, I have almost always been "the" low bass singer in the group. So it is fascinating to view your instruction on this recording. You are spot on. I like how you highlighted relaxation, the "growl", "vocal fry" and working to smooth out the break in your voice. These are quite important. Some other important things I have learned about singing low over the years, which I am sure you know, but for the benefit of readers, are: a low voice must be nurtured. Some things to help achieve this are 1. Don't talk in your higher voice, but in your lower natural range in a relaxed manner. 2. When warming up to sing, don't just work the high range. Doing this just moves your tessitura (range) up. So warm up specifically doing vocal exercises low and high, so your range develops in both directions. 3. When harmonizing to music (such as CDs, what's online, XM, the radio, etc.), work on your lower range, singing the bass part or low harmonies. 4. Singing in the morning, or even exercising this range when it's early in the day, and the voice is naturally lower, helps to sustain that range as the day goes on. Pretty basic stuff, but good to reinforce for others who are interested in this. You are very talented and it's a blessing for you to share this with the rest of us. Keep it coming and THANKS!

How to sing REALLY low. Presented by a man with a natural voice which is deep af lmao

Really good, thanks for this video.

Excellent explanation of technique!

This man could get me to buy literally *any* audiobook, just by being the one to narrate it. Idc if it's Twilight, the Bible, or the infamous 'My Immortal', I will buy it solely because *damn* that voice is soothing.

Oh, just a soprano attempting bass notes over here.

I've never gone below D#2 before, but thanks to that subharmonic trick I just hit G1. This video was immensely helpful

Please make more music using wider ranges of your voice. Your voice is awesome and I feel like you're depriving me of even more beautiful sounds!
