This is the only way. Haha. Great work, brother!

Thank you, brother! You are an inspiration and I've learned a lot from you (and still learning more haha - good stuff). Also, congratulations on 20K subs! Only going up from here, my friend!

Love you Peter 😭😭😂

You are welcome! Your arrangements are epic and I can't wait to see and hear more of your development in singing, recording, arranging - the whole package! It was a privilege to hear your work! 👍

Thanks, Casper Fox! The level of preparation, coordination, and scripting is definitely at a professional level and they all take it to the next level (especially because they all can do thus individually as well). And that's not even mentioning their musicianship yet, which makes it that much more awesome (I use awesome for everything, yay California Dreamin... haha.)

I can’t believe that Marwan is 17! Good grief. Get him into his late 20s or 30s, and you’re going to have to tunnel to the center of the Earth to find the notes he’ll be able to hit.

@@lachimiste1 Some souls come back time and again to practice what they love and know.... music I feel is one of them... :) Marwan are you sure you weren't here before? LOL. I think you were... and Tomi P with Bobby W. just gifted. Peter is no slouch in his music either... :) Please, please do something with Voiceplay. They do musical theater so so well and you guys would REALLY work into the 'imaginary landscape' lol... just not sure where those basses tone would go, but then again, you all together can cover it all.. a cover of Avi's Change on the Rise LOL. Yall would do amazing things :)

It speaks to the transcendent nature of music.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Thank you - I appreciate it!

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Haha thank you for watching and I appreciate your response! I'll be doing more of these as time allows. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! It was great to talk to you - let me know if there is anything else I can help with 👍

@@bass2yang sure thing

Haha thanks - just checking it myself. Anything below F1 takes me a while to find and is not consistent, but it is there. Thanks for watching!

@@bass2yang I have subbed!!! Super great analysis too!! Keep it up!

Thank you! Thanks for watching and I appreciate your response!

Thank you and you are welcome!

Thank you! I need to do more of these videos when I get the chance. Hard to balance family and teaching at the moment but just need for things to calm down a bit and get back to a schedule. Thanks!

Thanks!

Home Free is an amazing group! I am making my way through the contemporary side of all things voice and a cappella so they are definitely on the radar. Thanks for watching!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you - honored to have you aboard! Arranging is awesome - I think of it like arranging furniture and items in your bedroom - even if you have all the notes, it needs to flow well and fit the style you want. Thanks!

Down to C2 is certainly basso profundo range. The crucial thing to remember is that vocal type is related to tessitura ("most acceptable and comfortable vocal range for a given singer" - wikipedia), not necessarily full range. Peter, for instance, may be able to go down into basso profundo range, but he's classified as a bass-baritone because his comfortable range is that of a bass-baritone. Similarly, Geoff Castellucci, the superlow bass of Voiceplay, can hit absurdly low chest notes (and sub notes too), but he has said that his tessitura is that of a baritone. For that reason, Geoff is best described as a "baritone with a bass range". This means that Geoff's and Peter's low notes will have more of a low-note timbre to them than the same notes sung by Bobby. To be completely honest with you, voice type is really not that important unless you're auditioning for some particular role in musical theater or opera. However, you can check your tessitura area just by figuring out the pitch at which you normally speak (mine's G2, placing me squarely as a bass II, which for me matches up with my full range). A low C2 chest range is very impressive, and gives you a basso profundo range (although with more practice you can surely descend even deeper into the depths), but that doesn't necessarily mean your voice type is basso profundo. Does this make sense? I have a tendency to ramble

@@casi9238 thanks, das makes a lot of sense. My speaking voice is very low. Regularly below C2 (I just checked). As for tessiture, I'm most comfortable in my low range. I can sing up to g4, but it's not comfortable. To give you an idea, when I'm singing along to stuff I frequently drop down an octave. I think from this I must conclude that I'm a basso profundo with some baritone high notes.

I actually realized that OBS didn't pick it up because I had it stacked wrong for this video and forgot about it after uploading. I had a virtual keyboard in my last video. I will make sure it is on there next time. Thanks!

That's too bad - there should be more efforts to include rep that allows a low bass to shine and work a bit more instead of the middle and higher range. Nevertheless, the voice needs work in all areas. As long as you keep singing, you will find what works best for you and shine through. Keep singing! Thanks for watching!

Ah yes, such a gem in the contemporary a cappella community with collaborations of two awesome basses as soloists. That will also be on the list of things. Thank you for your input!

It would be quite interesting to hear live recordings. Dealing with choral music, I believe these guys can hold their own as basses. I agree in that the difference would be noticeable - especially on the lows - though, that's the reason why many enjoy this genre - for replicating specific timbres and tones (instruments) and enhanced sound (which includes the editing and mastering). Also, a good reason why I thoroughly enjoy doo-wop and barbershop 👍 Where there is a will, there are basses ready to fill (the room with amazing lows). Thanks!

me too omg

I fully expected it LOL
