nah, it's a whole 88 keys lower.

Bruh I'm sayin 😂

Same. This guy's voice is so low, I would need subharmonics to speak like him.

Now you can make fnckin beeeaaaannnnnsssss

@Ryandal Gilmore but you're lame

Holy shit I thought I commented your comment because of your profile

This comment didn’t age well.

Thank you and enjoy! Plenty of videos here regarding subharmonics and voice.

Yeah, maybe you got it because you have years of study, but it was explained like ass. "don't mix the voices but make them work together" that's the same thing.

Glad I could help!

I've been practicing for just 6 day and my lowest chest note is D2 and i can get really clear(I think so) subharmonic C2 and fry-subharmonic G1. I'm 16 and my natural voice isn't deep. UPD: I'm from 27th january 2021 and now my lowest chest note is C#2 and now i can pitch around my subharmonics from A1 to D1 UPD: Greeting from 04.13.2022! Recently I hit my highest note without narrowing my larynx - G#2. Now my full blending sunbarmonic range is C#1-G#2. My control is pretty decent when it comes to switches:D

@@rtsbass7829 I can go down to an Eb1 and go up to an A2

Nice dude! Gratz! C1 must be sooooo dope to hit

@@rtsbass7829 it hurt for me the first time i did it

@@rtsbass7829 I love the updates man. Great comment.

I was just Fester in my high school's production of The Addams Family! My voice was dropping while working on The Addams Family, and my vocal range went from F3 to F5 to A2 to Bb4 in the span of 2 1/2 months! It was a wacky time

I'm actually here for the same exact reason, lol. No way I (high tenor) am hitting an Eb2 without using subharmonic

So happy to see im not the only lurch 😭😭😭

Tutu ;-; That’s true

@@kfclit1199 look who's here

Elijah Adr. what is your natural range

When I heard his voice, I immediately scrolled to the comments to mention this lol

How do you just “add vocal fry” it doesn’t work and I’m sad

I like to make a “cow moo” on my C-string by doing this

Glad it was able to help you!

Let's hear it!

Same!!!

Haha same, I accidentally learned to throat sing while trying to learn subharmonics

just touch the fry

Thanks! Always enjoy your videos as well - keep 'em coming!

Thank you! Glad it is working and helping those who are learning about it.

Thank you so much for this! It's what keeps us going! Appreciate it!

you my firend are a bass-baritone

I can reach f2, so basically we talk the at the same note😎

@@ReBorNxTacTic that is not what makes someone a bass-baritone. Don’t use terms when you don’t know what they mean.

Awesome - glad it is working out for you!

You are welcome! Rachmaninoff is the true test of a bass in a choir, indeed. Thanks for watching!

My recommendations are to always do what your voice teacher asks first. They know your voice best and work with you directly. You can bring up some ideas to your teacher and ask, but always default to your voice teacher. My focus is usually on the basic mechanics of singing so it is a good starting point. You are welcome to share this resource with them but again, my advice is always go with your voice teacher first (assuming they approach the voice in a healthy, efficient way that works best for you). Thanks!

You are welcome and thanks for watching! Keep making music 🎶 🎵

You are welcome! I am glad you are getting success! 🔥

Thanks for watching!

This is very true - great observation. The balance of the normal sung octave and perfect 5th above that is what really allows it to stay full. And since you have not compromised on any of the upper harmonics (specifically singer's formant in the 2kHz range, it comes through nicely). Assuming it was executed well, of course, haha. Thanks!

Thanks!

@@bass2yang sure thing dude! If you aren't already, you seriously need to get into voice over work

You are welcome!

Try closing your mouth when doing subharmonics so you can feel where it is popping up the octave (is it a space issue, a vocal fold issue, a vocal fry issue, etc.). Sometimes, I put my tongue up against the roof of my mouth and directly on the top front teeth (as if I was singing the sound of the letter "L"). This will give you a "point" of focus and keep the tongue out of the way. It could also be that you are going too far into the fry side. Come to the dark si- I mean... Make sure you aren't going too far into fry - keep the full voice strong and healthy, making sure you have efficient breath energy (which gives you a solid, full bodied sound with good core). Haha sorry - my son and I have too many Star Wars references going on at the moment. Thanks! Hope this helps (sorry I can't help more unless I hear you in person to give you a better response).

You are welcome!

Thank you! It is hard to do some of these videos while teaching full-time. These recent events however have given me just a bit more time to work through these videos. I am Hmong (Southeast Asian Ethnic Group, related to Chinese, but the language is not mutually intelligible). There isn't a country or area that is specifically named/outlined for Hmong people. Thanks again!

@@bass2yang Oh ok, thanks for clarifying it for me. Also, i posted this comment before watchig the video in it's entirety and i have to say, i didn't expect you out of all people to have bad days with subharmonics. I mean, it's human to have bad vocal days, no matter the vocal level you are at, but still, it fascinates me. But if i had to ask one question regarding this technique, then i'd probably ask: 1) how do i unlock more notes on my subharmonic range, since i seem to always bottom out at an F1. (i've reached an Eb and one time a Db in the Facebook group, but that was a VERY lucky day for me) I've talked in KZfaq comments with the guy behind this video, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hb1pfMun3-Cvd3k.html, Josh, and he told me that to unlock a note (specifically an E1, just one freaking semitone underneath, that's all i'm asking lol) i need to basically "own" the fundamental above it, basically have the clearest and fullest E2 i possibly can to be able to produce the E1 below. Is that completely true and is there anything else i can do to unlock lower notes? 2) And finally, i simply want to get the right tone in my subharmonics. I find myself having a lot of volume sometimes and even enough projection, but unfortunately, my notes never seem to produce a clear tone such as this video from Jay: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9t6ic573tqZg4U.html&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0-Yw2LWLJj3Nfalm1H8mIBxyNBQFOzM1V0yOX3Ew4wf9-QyU9ijMy08UY My subharmonic loses it's colour under an F#1 and it becomes kinda "hollow" but not toneless. You can clearly hear the tone i'm producing when doing so. I'm guessing that my problem is that i'm going nearer the Fry department as you showed in this video and less on the Full Voice, basically forgetting about the fundamental and focusing too much on the octave below. I don't really know what to do with these 2 things and how i can overcome them with practice. Still though, thank you a lot for taking your time to read this. Best wishes, George.

I understand your concern. Yup - there are bad days - and what I mean by bad is usually just not having sufficient time to find where the subharmonics are in my voice, especially durinf a performance. Josh is correct in that you do need to own the E2 before you can sing a subharmonic E1. One thing to be aware of is that for bass and baritones, there is a "passagio" that occurs right around F2. This is where you need to sing wih a brighter, thinner vowel. Try singing "neeyeah" with a lot of nasal resonance (very bright and pretty much as annoyingly as possible). Start with a comfortable note and then go down to the E2. From there, sing the same word and sound but this time, layer the vocal fry over it to produce the subharmonic. It may be thin sounding but it should get your there pitch-wise. You can slowly open up the other areas of resonant spaces by modifying the vowel shape and pharynx. Another way is to use the 2nd level subharmonics (I will have to demonstrate in another video - David Larson already has something about this up). My suggestion is to sing with different vowels and find one that works best for your voice. Keep the integrity of that vowel and slowly blend it with other vowels. A lot of times, the lack of warmth comes from the lack of pharyngeal space (imagine a hot fry that you are trying cool off that is already in your mouth - that's the pharyngeal space. Sometimes people use the phrase "lift your soft palate" - you are essentially giving your pharyngeal space). I hope this helps a bit. Every situation is different so I am sure you will find what you need on your journey. Sing healthy! Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@bass2yang Thank you a lot for your advice Thou, i'll try it and see what i come up with. I'll also try to post anything soon in the group since i haven't in a few weeks and see where i'm at. Talk to you soon and stay healthy of course!

Good to hear from you, Cody! Yeah, it's the same here. I haven't had a need for D1 - only E1 (sort of E1, since the choir went down a 1/4-ish step) for Bogoroditse Devo. Hope all things music are going well with you!

Bass2Yang Thank you! I sang the All-Night Vigil with the Charlotte Symphony Chorus in an Eastern Orthodox Church and it was magnificent. At the end of almost every movement we had gone at least a quarter-tone flat, some a full semi-tone. I’m glad we had a pianist, otherwise our baritones might have had trouble singing their parts!

Great points. I think so long as the approach gets you the desired sound, it is a correct way of looking at it. For me, it depends on if I am using a voiced consonant or vowel that requires the fry-full voice interaction to be immediate. The fry first just needs to be really quick to give the impression that the note started on the same pitch as the subharmonic (let's say the word is "virtue" on a G1, I would start with fry and the G2 on the "v" sound immediately so that it sounds as if I am starting on a G1. If I start with full voice first, I end up with a G2 "v" sound and then a "pop" down to G1 when the subharmonic shows up.) I suppose you could say that leading with fry first may work well and definitely better than starting up the octave and then applying the fry. One issue would be that the pitchless fry may not interact well when the full voice note comes in - it may get stuck or you may lose some integrity of tone by it sounding too much like fry instead of a fuller voice kind of sound; going for immediate "interaction" of both full and fry together to get the subharmonic is the main goal.

I go through it slightly more in depth on my blog (there are some research papers as well - I think there is one that has been recently published. If I can get mg hands on it, I'll be sure to talk about in a future video). What happens is that your vocal folds become slightly asymmetrical (one longer than the other, one thicker than the other, etc.). The vocal fry setting in your voice is where the vocal folds become thicker and shorter, and they are fully adducted (meaning the vocal folds are completely together). When you sing with this offset, the pitch created is a subharmonic due to the vocal folds' pitch periodically "meeting" at certain points. These points that are plotted are very similar to the points of the note that is an octave below, which gives us the perception of singing down the octave. If you do a search of "Mari Kimura subharmonics", she has a wealth of knowledge and research on subharmonics (and notation as well for subharmonics). Thanks!

Yes, he definitely has, so do you!!

It could just be the vowel or vocal color on the A2. Sometimes, it could be that the warmth you are used to hearing is different for subharmonics - for me, it feels lighter and brighter. I choose a slightly darker vowel for the subharmonic. Is it an issue as you sing lower with subharmonics? Also, have you recorded yourself in a dry room and a room with lots of reverb to compare? Often times when we try to listen to ourselves in our own ear, the lack of "warmth and resonance" may feel less; this means that the sound is not being absorbed by our flesh and bones and is being projected out into the room. Let me know if this helps. Thanks for stopping by!

Bass2Yang ok, I’ll try comparing with more reverb and try different vowels. thanks for the help!

Awesome! It takes time if you want to make it usable. Glad it worked for you!

David does some great work. It goes by a lot of different names but for some people, it works really well (besides sounding a bit weird and some consonants not working the same). Some people have found that using this to supplement the lower register is easier than subharmonics or kargyraa.

Yes, women can sing subharmonics just like male voices.
