Paul downing was no slouch- his speaking voice as on par with sumners. lower than most on that list. gotta dig around to find him speak on some of there live albums in the easy 70's-- but worth it-- room shattering
All his interviews that are on TH-cam are from the time when he was already quite old so maybe he had a lower voice when he was younger. Larry Hooper, another basso profundo also had a higher voice when old compared to when he was young.
If that's the case, how come most of these people did indeed get lower as they get older? I dropped an octave since I was 14. I speak 1st octave up to mid 2nd. I can see maybe once you get to 80 years old if you make it that far, everything starts to die

In the afternoon, I am not sure how low I speak on average. Probably down to about E2 or so most of the time.

You'd think - based on the sole ranges of their speech - that Vladimir Miller and Yuri Vishnyakov have the highest voices of them all, but they don't pretend anything, they don't try to sound bassy. They just speak naturally. Add to it the circumstances of not having a microphone. That's why their voices are so high. Another interesting thing, everybody knew about (I'm sure): Zlat and JD are the lowest.
It’s actually healthier vocally to speak a bit higher in your voice to avoid sitting on those vocal cords… some of these basses are doing that and it’s STILL much lower than normal folks lol
@@NOTequinox yah. Just a phrase for staying low in your voice at all times. If you stay low or “sit” on those vocal folds, all the other ranges of your voice are neglected, while simultaneously tiring out your lower register faster. You wanna speak in your higher, mid, and low register to make sure the voice is getting its full use. It’d be like if you went for a massage and only got your feet massaged. What about your back? Shoulders? Legs? Everything should be worked for a more even, consistent product.
TIM IS ABSOLUTE AMAZING :O in most vocal range video he's lowest note is around A1 and many critic commenter say to he don't can hit under A1 (some people say Bb1) only with chest-fry but he hit F#1 and Bb1 while SPEAK... he talk deeper like avi or geoff so easy...

Thurl Ravenscroft was so rare in his ability to go low and high. He didn't have a particularly low speaking voice (still a bass), but could sing MUCH lower than his speaking voice should have indicated.
@@vitormrmr, a lot of bass voices (myself included) train ourselves to speak in higher bass and baritone for articulation purposes. My chest singing range extends down to D1, with subharmonics down to E0, but I tend to speak in a higher register on purpose; when my relaxed voice averages 78Hz.
My speaking voice is a bit between Geoff and Leonard... and I get complimented on how my voice is both bass but with higher articulation, too. Some bass voices are just all bass and that doesn't sound so pleasant.
I wish Zlatopolsky could have been around during a time where we could experience him in person. I can't imagine the human anatomy having the capability he has
I always mention to someone with a unrealistically low speaking voice that they are throwing away money if they haven't monetized it yet. I think i heard less than a handful of guys with booming speaking voices. They are rare relative to every other voice type.
Some days I have to make a conscious effort to speak higher. If I speak in the contra octave all people will hear is sub-bass pitch, not the message I am trying communicate. I try to save lower pitch for conspiratorial asides "let me let you in on a little secret" sort of thing...
Great concept, and great job finding the clips. But it depends a lot on the situation. Geoff's voice in this videos where he goes down to G#1/G1 at times, and different when hes off mic in a conversation.
Very interesting. However, you should have included the speaking voice of famous Finnish opera bass singer Martti Talvela, because he had speaking voice much higher than basses usually have. It has been said that he made it on purpose to keep his chrystal-clear high tones alive.
Not even close to the other monsters in this video...and we can all understand them...so I guess Avi simple didn't know how to speak like a normal person!
It happens a lot to me!!! But as time passed, I trained to speak inside low pitch, to not push my voice higher, to talk with people! It's so annoying when you have to go all the way up of your voice to make people understand what you are saying! My speaking voice averages 65 Hz, when I'm relaxed, although. I'm 18 years old, and I have this voice since my fifteen's!
I wish Kevin grevioux and Michael Clarke Duncan were part of this compilation. Both men have extremely low voices. James Earl Jones also had quite a voice when young.
Glenn Miller has a trurly health voice. Zlatopolsky was a drinker with oversized larynx, JD Sumner was a pretty bass with destroyed voice because of drinking and smoking and the last guy just speaks in good fry. I dont say anything about Tim Storms cause i hope all you know hes only frying.
Yeah Zlatopolsky, despite having perhaps the lowest-pitched speaking voice I've ever heard about in my life, he did not seem to have the prettiest-sounding speaking voice out there. His voice did lack a lot of fundamental frequency when speaking.
@@supersonicfan9584 I agree for the most part. However, Tim Storms does use a lot of strohbass for his low notes. I think Storms is probably a regular bass instead of a basso profondo, unfortunately. Sorry, it's the truth. I'm a nice guy (at least I like to think so) but I also think it would be immoral to say that he's a natural basso profondo.
@@bradycall1889 tim storms might be using chest fry for lowest notes he sings but what constitutes a basso profundo? A basso profundo is usually considered someone that can sing below C2. Tim storm has been able sing from F1 to C2 in his chest range.
How are these measured? Simple pitch measure apps don’t work with voice from a speaker for some reason. The resonance from the entire vocal tract is as important to the weight of the voice as the frequency of the vocal cord, is there a way to put a number on that as well?
@@PinochleSundaeTim storms uses vocal fry to sing, which is separate from chest voice which he uses to speak. Vocal fry is very low, but also incredibly weak, which is why tim storms always almost swallows the microphone every time he sings. Meanwhile other singers use chest voice to sing and speak. FYI chest voice is a more accurate representation of their actual voice, but chest voice is much higher than fry, but also a waaay more powerful register in the human voice, thus they use chest voice as it is the most useful for singing.
@@danielphendarko2651 I figured he was using fry, but it still leaves the same question. I've watched videos of Storms frying in the zeroth octave, and other guys doing the same thing an octave or two below zero. So it's still surprising he holds the Guinness record, especially one that's so far below anything that's ever been demonstrated publicly. I actually question the validity of the record for that reason.
Cordial saludos, todas son voces muy bonitas, imagino que la mayoría de ellos son músicos y locutores y presentadores de radio cine y televisión. se deben cuidar mucho sus voces- felicitaciones.
Do they do this deliberately? By modulation? i wonder how the pitch of their voice will change when they have a sudden spring of fear in their faces? when a spider or a cockroach started flying
Mikhail speaks at around F#1 in his soft voice, yes it is his soft voice that sounds this harsh, full and strong, kinda a semitone lower than the chanting ioanis, the greek oktavist spoke (G1), he probably ended at E1 around 42 years of age, at 50 he would probably tie with mikhail at Eb1, that's the lowest documented note for a bass, mikhail's C#1 and C1 were chest fries (he has a very loud Modal 0-Fry and Subharmonics), his D1 sounds controversial as it's not as connected a solid note could be (at age 48), the only guy that seems deeper than mikhail is John Ames, at 50, his F1 was stronger than mikhail's at around the same age, mikhail's voice began to distort at around F1, which it begins around a tone near the end of the range, while john's F was monstrous! He also recorded a strong Eb1 at 57 years of age, no one did that in the entire world, it's on youtube. We could estimate john's lowest note to be D1 at 50. He definitely deserves to be in this video.
I have a friend who is a tenor, and he can intentionally speak in the D2-C3 range. I'm a bass-baritone, probably even a high bass, and I can't change my voice to a lower one. WTF
I like the voice of Geoff Castellucci and Glenn Miller better. Some basses are difficult to listen to for a long time. You get tired of constantly low notes and vibrations. Zlatopolsky sounds like a monster, but he has an incredibly unusual voice.

@@bradycall1889 tim storms might be using chest fry for lowest notes he sings but what constitutes a basso profundo? A basso profundo is usually considered someone that can sing below C2. Tim storm has been able sing from F1 to C2 in his chest range.
boy I could just listen to Glenn Miller and Kurt Moll talk all day.
Yeah they have very rich and resonant speaking voices don't they!!!
Leonard Cohen had the best speaking voice out of all of them.
Idk how to compete when ppl casually speak in an octave that I can only reach with subharmonics and growl
Bro just feel ur head vibrate just using headphones and listening to Glenn Miller, Tim foust and Eric Holloway 😂
Thanks for sharing.
I heard Ghiaurov being interviewed in Italian. I couldnt tell if he was singing or speaking.
Such powerful voices 😮
Interesting
Avi Kaplan has a nasal speaking voice which I believe the brain interprets as being higher pitched than it really is.
It's not even a bass voice, he sounds like a baritone
You're correct.
@@dreamthedream8929 No. Just pick the notes he's producing while speaking. You will see they are not from the baritone range.
@@luscao8444 sounds like a baritone, basses have deeper voices
@@dreamthedream8929 Anyways. He's a bass indeed. That's what matters.
How are these measured? Simple pitch measure apps don’t work with voice from a speaker for some reason.
The resonance from the entire vocal tract is as important to the weight of the voice as the frequency of the vocal cord, is there a way to put a number on that as well?
If you have a good ear you can use a piano and hum the pitch they are on. If it’s lower than you can sing you sing an octave above.
have good pitch.
@@jacobhuffty7411 or just identify the pitch by simply listening. good ears dont need a reference
Can someone tell me what they think Lee Felix's speaking voice's range is? He has quite a range, but has a pretty low sounding voice as well
th-cam.com/video/h6lF_E1O-fA/w-d-xo.html
Roughly F2-D3? A lot of his low notes are vocal fry so those don’t really count
@@IsaacMokChuangXing
He uses the vocal fry technique? Thanks, I wasn’t quite sure what technique he was using for his low notes.
My speaking voice is around F3-C#4, down to G#2 occasionally! (I am 10 (almost 11) years old!)
It's interesting that Tim Storms holds the record, even though some of the guys here sound a little deeper pitched than him.
His speaking voice isn't lower, his singing voice is what holds the record.
@@elizabethlawrence5493If their speaking voice is lower, why wouldn't their singing voice be lower as well?
@@PinochleSundaeTim storms uses vocal fry to sing, which is separate from chest voice which he uses to speak. Vocal fry is very low, but also incredibly weak, which is why tim storms always almost swallows the microphone every time he sings. Meanwhile other singers use chest voice to sing and speak. FYI chest voice is a more accurate representation of their actual voice, but chest voice is much higher than fry, but also a waaay more powerful register in the human voice, thus they use chest voice as it is the most useful for singing.
I hope my reply helps 👍
@@danielphendarko2651 I figured he was using fry, but it still leaves the same question.
I've watched videos of Storms frying in the zeroth octave, and other guys doing the same thing an octave or two below zero. So it's still surprising he holds the Guinness record, especially one that's so far below anything that's ever been demonstrated publicly. I actually question the validity of the record for that reason.
Barry Whites voice is lovely ❤
Yes
You should do another video with George Younce, Tim Duncan, Tim Riley and Johnny Carson.
Where can I find the interview where Matt Fouch is talking to Geoff?
Great video idea!
Mikhail sounds like a fucking villain
I always talked higher than low. I've been holding a weapon all this time.
My speaking voice is around F#3-A4 down to A2 occasionally and i am 9 years!
Cordial saludos, todas son voces muy bonitas, imagino que la mayoría de ellos son músicos y locutores y presentadores de radio cine y televisión. se deben cuidar mucho sus voces- felicitaciones.
One person that would've been great in this compilation is Brother Greece aka Ioannis Tsoumaris
Bill Lee Golden has a low speaking voice too.
Мотя Моисеевич Златопольский это царь-бомба на фоне всех остальных басов.
Do they do this deliberately? By modulation? i wonder how the pitch of their voice will change when they have a sudden spring of fear in their faces? when a spider or a cockroach started flying
I’m guessing for most it’s natural
it's natural. they have thick and long vocal folds. well except for tim storms and corpse. those just use fry. JD summer spoke in fry too.
Mikhail speaks at around F#1 in his soft voice, yes it is his soft voice that sounds this harsh, full and strong, kinda a semitone lower than the chanting ioanis, the greek oktavist spoke (G1), he probably ended at E1 around 42 years of age, at 50 he would probably tie with mikhail at Eb1, that's the lowest documented note for a bass, mikhail's C#1 and C1 were chest fries (he has a very loud Modal 0-Fry and Subharmonics), his D1 sounds controversial as it's not as connected a solid note could be (at age 48), the only guy that seems deeper than mikhail is John Ames, at 50, his F1 was stronger than mikhail's at around the same age, mikhail's voice began to distort at around F1, which it begins around a tone near the end of the range, while john's F was monstrous! He also recorded a strong Eb1 at 57 years of age, no one did that in the entire world, it's on youtube. We could estimate john's lowest note to be D1 at 50. He definitely deserves to be in this video.
I have a friend who is a tenor, and he can intentionally speak in the D2-C3 range. I'm a bass-baritone, probably even a high bass, and I can't change my voice to a lower one. WTF
How did you determined what each singers speaking range was?
0:33 60 minutes interview voice distortor for sure
I like the voice of Geoff Castellucci and Glenn Miller better. Some basses are difficult to listen to for a long time. You get tired of constantly low notes and vibrations. Zlatopolsky sounds like a monster, but he has an incredibly unusual voice.
Damn.. Even I speak in the first octave sometimes but these guys are crazy 😂
I am glad to say. I am like them
Yeah though some of them are prettier-sounding than others, they're all pretty cool speaking voices.
If a genie gave me 3 wishes, one of them would be to have a bassy speaking voice
I remember Geoff hitting a A1 in chest
@The Guitar where?
@The Guitar bruh I know he can hit a G1, this was 11 months ago, you said F1
@The Guitar ok
Why does Tim Riley of Gold City get no love?
