Low Notes - 0:07
0:08 - Sustained C3 followed by a D4 from "Sad"
0:24 - Bo does a couple octave jumps (C3-C4) in the verses of "30"
0:34 - A couple easy B2s from "Channel 5 News: The Musical". In Bo's earlier specials, he was much more nasal when singing, partially because he thought people would prefer if his voice sounded higher than it actually was.
0:47 - A few quick, dark A2s in "Can't Handle This" from Burnham's 3rd special "Make Happy", his only special without an official corresponding album.
0:59 - Some nice A2s from the album version of "From God's Perspective"
1:21 - The studio version of "Repeat Stuff" with some super boomy A2s
1:38 - Great G♯2 from "Channel 5". The mid-lower 2nd octave is where Bo's voice really shines, in my opinion.
1:51 - "3.14 Apple Pi" off Bo's 2008 EP contains a smooth G2
1:57 - One of Bo's best songs and vocal performances, "Welcome to the Internet" contains a remarkably strong and resonant G2
2:08 - Strong F2 from the ending of the extravagant "Intro" to "what."
2:15 - Incredible lower harmonies from "Hell of a Ride", bottoming at F2
2:29 - Sexy E2s from "1985". Unfortunately, Bo seldom sings this low on his material, despite how great he sounds doing it.
2:36 - Finally, a D2 from the backing vocals of "Unpaid Intern". Again, wish we could get more of this
High Notes - 2:43
2:50 - A brief but great performance in "Look Who's Inside Again". Bo effortlessly spans A2 to D4.
3:04 - And the same range displayed again in "How the World Works", another good showing from "Inside"
3:21 - Sustained D4 from the edgy bonus track off Bo's self-titled debut album.
3:32 - A belted E♭4 from the final chorus of "Hell of a Ride", one of Bo's best from the "what." era
3:39 - Bo's soft singing from the bridge of "Problematic", topping at E♭4
3:50 - A solid mixed E4 from "Goodbye"
3:58 - Emotional singing up to E4 from Bo's heart-wrenching ballad about "The Chicken"
4:11 - Quick F4 from the brief yet relatable "All Time Low". This is around the limit of Bo's belting range.
4:16 - Mixed G4 in the harmonies of "Problematic"
4:29 - A rare falsetto A4 from the now deleted version of "Cookout", recorded in 2007
4:38 - The iconic battle between Bo and the spider has begun, Bo attacking with some sharp falsetto B♭4s
4:48 - Falsetto C5s in the harmonies of "Shit"
4:49 - Assited by some autotune, a strong sustained B2 followed by a climb up to a short falsetto D5 in "Can't Handle This"
5:10 - A screamed E♭5 at the end "Bezos II" from the album version
5:16 - Epic falsetto E♭5s from the Intro to "what."
5:31 - The extended version of the crazy scream at the end of "Bezos I", topping at F5
5:37 - From a now deleted version of Bo's "The Perfect Woman", a buttery G♯2 followed by a very frail and crackly G♯5, Bo's highest sung note.
5:49 - Finally, the absolutely insane 5th octave screams from "Spider". Right before Bo is slain at the hands of the spider, he let's out a final dying shriek, which coincidentally, also happens to be a B♭5, his highest recorded note
counting the bezos scream is an awesome thing to do
those 1985 E2s are really great for someone who dips below the bass clef so rarely like he does
its satisfying
E2 and D2 are some of my favorite notes, I can hit down to Bb1 or A1 rarely in a slightly fried chest because I am a lower baritone but E2 is like the sweet spot of a nice low note for me. With extended techniques I can go way lower but generally speaking I’m not going lower than a D2, I can’t hit a Bb5 like Bo though, G5 is my highest
@@upsidedownpyramid7617 D2 is really where all baris should aspire to reach someday. D2-C2 area are super easy notes to make sound good in a song and are easy fit into an arrangement while still being impressive in their depth. my limit is somewhere between G#1 and F#1 with chest voice and even though i have those notes when i sit down to record an acapella cover or something i always find that the E2-C2 notes are way more imperative to the arrangements and sound of a piece than the super low stuff
@@heliotropeskies5918 I wish I had a more comfortable C2, C#2 is where Fry creeps into my chest notes as a bari and by A1 it’s full chest fry. The range between A1 chest and C#2 chest is the hardest to make sound good and stable for me
He is a god among men
i have no idea what any of these things mean but i cannot stop watching this video. this is like the 10th time i watch this. i can’t stop help
The letters are the note sung and the numbers are the octave the note is in. The lower the number the lower the octave and vice versa
@@lukestarks8132 i really appreciate your explanation, many people wouldn’t have done it, but i knew that the video was showcasing the various notes Bo can sing in. but yet again i thank you for taking some time off your day to be a great internet person!
Great video! Pleasantly surprised by the exact highlights, but maybe that's just because I don't have any musical knowledge. Also recommend reading the description :D
I recommend reading the description below the video. Nice work!
Fantastic video, thank you for putting this together and including the descriptions! His range is seriously impressive, especially when he embraces his natural tone
I think my voice type similar.

very nice :)
What might be his voicetype? Not trained dramatic baritone?
definitely baritone, albeit a nasal one. doesn't really have the fullness of a dramatic baritone, in my mind probably a lyric bari. his higher baritone passaggios sort of correlate to this. doesn't really matter whether he's lyric or dramatic though considering the kind of music he does
@@heliotropeskies5918 I don’t do classical but I’d say I agree, I’m likely a dramatic low baritone
probably a tenor
@@xenia_fox_girl mas como ele pode ser um tenor com graves tão definidos assim ?
When it comes to singing vocal types don’t really matter unless you’re doing opera then yeah they do matter I can go up to a e6 in falsetto doesn’t mean I’m a soprano. But just judging from what I hear I would say lyric baritone or high baritone
Can you do one for Ben Folds or Tim Minchin please?
