The only editing to the audio is basically slight reverb. This is for a competition, so they don't allow for much outside of your actual voice and skills. It's all him!
There’s a lot of tricks beatboxers employ to achieve unnatural sounding pitch jumps in their voice but it’s all vocal and zero auto tune. In this case it’s a combination of a yodeling type voice crack interspersed with short lip oscillations on certain notes. This helps to create the illusion that each note is switching aggressively, due to the tamber shift.
Thank you for this…so funny but after I sent for editing I tried playing with one of the passes and did recognize through a yodel and some gibberish this would definitely be able to happen without autotune (why didn’t I record that, I know 😂) but it also shows what a talented musician he is to keep it so in tune regardless. Love this feedback.
Beautiful sincere reaction! Wildcards are submissions for competitions, just some minor effects allowed like light reverb. And yes, as the others said: River' - My Way, and Stitch - Feels like nothing :)
It's always amusing watching someone who's an expert in their field discover something directly related to their field that they know nothing about. It's also interesting how separate things like vocal coaching for singing and vocal coaching for beatboxing are, even though everyone who does either is using the same instrument. ;)
2:10 she almost made polyphonic voice from the excitement lol btw this is not throat singing that gene uses here its called lip bass basically he harmonizes his voice with lips oscillation (from blowing out air)
It’s kind of amazing to me the number of ‘vocal coaches’ and people involved in teaching music in general will have never heard beatboxing before. It’s such an awesome, peak example of using the voice as an instrument. Or several 😂
Yeah this is one of my favorites. The Grand Beatbox Battle is the biggest competition in the world and a wildcard is like an audition to get into the competition. which gene did get into with this wildcard haha
I agree with the comments. There's no pitch correction / autotune in use here. He is jumping from chest voice to head voice (falsetto) and back to get the sharp pitch skips, a technique used in yodeling. And the bass tones are lip buzz combined with his voice, which is a fun technique to know. I'm not sure is I hear any other bass techniques, such as modulating low tones with fry to accomplish lower octaves, but I'm pretty sure he knows how to do that as well. The styles and techniques he's using on this track take ages to learn and aeons to perfect. I don't know who this artist is, but I'll surely listen to more tracks. Very interesting and very impressive.
Can’t beat these legends . Bet hearing this for the first time made you feel like day 1 at school 😂. Gene is one of the best melody inspired beatboxes .
Every world class beat boxer has their own unique skill, sound or signature sound. It's one of the biggest things that helps elevate a pro to the competitive stage. Also Zero autotune for sure on this track.
Beatbox evolve so much theys past years, some beatbox sounds evolve and now more musical beatboxer practice like Gene ! Welcome into beatbox world :p I suggest : Den - Moment i had Thanks for react
I can recommend: Codfish - almost everything haha River - My way or ourselfs Stitch - Feels like nothing Sho-go - Jasmine or silver Dlow - little harmony Bigman - window ( almost everything as well hahaha ) Pwad - urugayn Beatbox champ And i could go on and on and on. There is to much out there hahaha
You will definitely end up down a rabbit hole with beatbox. As others have suggested: River - My way Vocodah - Headbangers Trung Bao - Venom D-Low - Kickback Battles ZVD - American Wildcard 2022 Show-go - Silver Are all great examples of very different styles
As someone who was in the beatbox scene during covid and high school, I can definitely say Gene is just a master of his art, and pretty much in 90% of pro beatboxers videos they won’t be using auto tune
The beatboxing thing is crazy advanced now! I had a young person I know show me some other vids. Its crazy what they are doing with just vocals and a looper petal!
Hello Miss and welcome. I've been watching a lot of your reactions and I am glad you are coming across some beatbox. Beatbox community is huge and don't be surprised if they come asking for more. And you are in for some amazing stuff. Just a quick introduction, there is this channel called Swissbeatbox and they started small but eventually grew bigger so more money started coming in. More money = more people = more talents = tougher competition = amazing beatbox. That's basically how it went and in last 4 years beatbox just went nuts. I would recommend anything from River, Den or Codfish as that's very musical. EDIT: I see people are recommending Stitch, as a vocal coach you might want to hear that :)
Be careful about beatboxing. It can quickly become a rabbit hole, especially for people who love vocals. I'll also recommend Feels Like Nothing by Stitch like these comment are, but there are so many worth seeing. Both videos from Gene and Stitch are wildcard entries to a competition, so processing is limited to reverb, EQ, slight compression. Otherwise they're completely natural
If you like this, you're going to LOVE Jairo. I'd suggest their cover of Begin by Letting Go because it's just beautiful, but honestly everything they do as a duo is just phenomenal.
I would like to recommend: Taras Stanin | The Hills (The Weeknd Beatbox Cover). It is a lot more edited than the clip from Gene, but that just shows what one can do with the "raw" audio in post in my opinion.
They're not allowed to change the wildcards more than a flat EQ over the whole track (not allowed to EQ sounds individually) and maybe a compressor as far as I'm aware. So there are restrictions in place, they need to be able to perform it live basicly :) Thank you for checking out beatboxing, always fun to see vocal coaches checking it out.
There are so many good videos for you to see in this category. JAIRO are becoming a big deal. WING, Taras Stanin , and HISS have some fantastic stuff too.
Gene is so good! Thank you for this one! Gene's shorts are also really good. If you like to see more musical beatboxing from another beatboxer I suggest listening to Wing's GBB23 wildcards or any of his other songs (killing me soflty, doppelganger, dancing with a stranger etc) or maybe his shorts
If anyone is curious about how some of the tricks work or would like to see more masters at their craft I'd greatly recommend checking out D-low hes a vocal coach and a world beat box champion. who just has only gotten better in his years. He also has a lot of tutorial videos out there, and in his reviews of other beatboxers its always a treat to see him try and parrot sounds and do it almost perfectly.
Great reaction. Along with the other recommendations, I suggest Jairo, a beatbox duo, which allows for other kinds of beatbox magic. “Begin by letting go” is a good starting point.
According to the rules of the GBB there should not be any effects, so everything here is done as cleanly as possible and this is confirmed by Gene he is a master in his field😉
As someone that follows people who utilise screams for their music this is what I think is going on; The throat bass I think he is doing something similar to mongolian throat singing/metal scream vocals where he vibrates the false chords which sit above the true vocal folds. It is thicker and harder to move, but because it's thicker it vibrates at a lower frequency about an octave lower than regular singing vocals. So he is likely aiming for D2 and using throat bass to hit D1 instead. For other really cool beatboxers check out show-go specifically 'Jasmine' I simply love the musicality he introduces into his beatboxing.
My first introduction to this was a video with Nathan Flutebox Lee and Beardyman performing at Google headquarters. Flutebox takes it to a new level by playing an instrument while beatboxing. I was amazed by that. One of my favorite videos I've ever seen.
by the way, before he got into beatboxing I believe he used to be a vocal teacher as well or he got a lot of teaching from a vocal teacher, I don't remember but is something about that line
When it comes to beatboxing, the most impressive vocals is Taras Stanin with his "Creepin'" cover. Yes, there's reverb, but that's just so he doesn't have to sing in the bathroom. I don't know anything about beatboxing, but Taras has amazing vocal capabilities. Please react to Taras Stanin.
Hi, first of all welcome to the beatboxing world! there's is so much to discover. That being said, I want to let you know there is a playlist on my channel with 250 of my (personal) favorite beatboxing videos. Of course, this barely scratches the surface of all the great beatboxing out there. Feel free to use it as a reference, and happy listening!!
No autotune if I remember correctly useing autotune or anything to altar the voice electronically is a instant disqualify. Would recommend Dlow and King Inertia for your future reactions.
you must listen to Codfishes wildcard or broken dream of boulevard cover those will blow your mind more or listen to Dharni he makes fun of every one of us with his skills, or MB14 with his dj skills.
Taras Stanin is doing the rounds at the moment, would recommend a listen if you want to hear beat boxing with sound engineering. This 1 though, because it was gbb comp video, its raw, no effects. Improver and Codfish are another couple to listen to. To be honest, most semi decent beatboxers blow my mind with what they are capable of with their voices.
Zero autotune. Gene is a pitch master. :)
As a vocal coach you need to watch River' - My Way, and Stitch - Feels like nothing!!!
And Show-Go
@@IEGOODY I recommend either Jasmine or Silver by Sho-go.
good suggestions @@TalixZen

And D-low little harmony, and Bigman window
The only editing to the audio is basically slight reverb. This is for a competition, so they don't allow for much outside of your actual voice and skills. It's all him!
Yes ! 👍
That’s right
If you can clearly hear it, then it's not "slight".

I hope you dive into the world of beatbox more, it’s my favorite community and the talent is unreal
I’m a moderator for Gene and he’s done this routine in person without a mic. He’s the real deal🥰
Beautiful sincere reaction! Wildcards are submissions for competitions, just some minor effects allowed like light reverb. And yes, as the others said: River' - My Way, and Stitch - Feels like nothing :)
River 2023 gbb solo elimination would be right up your alley. He sings and does those cool vocal/beatboxing tricks.
Her expression was everything !!
please listen to River' - My Way and Stitch - Feels like nothing
Gene is one of those OG that's on a different level.
Pure vocal. no auto-tune
No autotune all natural voice/ sounds... welcome to the world of beatbox

Well there is a bit of vibration bass in there too which is a type of throat bass

I have a suggestion. Feels like nothing by Stitch. Ridiculous vocal techniques that will make you shocked. :)
No autotune, just beatbox tecniques
Oh shit oner of the best to start. jodeling with his clean sounds and his lip distortions. Genius
Yeah this is one of my favorites. The Grand Beatbox Battle is the biggest competition in the world and a wildcard is like an audition to get into the competition. which gene did get into with this wildcard haha

You need to react to Jairo beatbox
definitely yes
Yes!! Was going to say this!!!
Begin by Letting Go is great!
…but also anything they’ve done is top notch :)
You will definitely end up down a rabbit hole with beatbox. As others have suggested:
River - My way
Vocodah - Headbangers
Trung Bao - Venom
D-Low - Kickback Battles
ZVD - American Wildcard 2022
Show-go - Silver
Are all great examples of very different styles
As someone who was in the beatbox scene during covid and high school, I can definitely say Gene is just a master of his art, and pretty much in 90% of pro beatboxers videos they won’t be using auto tune
i like how he switches between full and hollow sounds
The beatboxing thing is crazy advanced now! I had a young person I know show me some other vids. Its crazy what they are doing with just vocals and a looper petal!
Thanks so much for checking out Gene! Agree with others suggestion River - My Way and Stitch - Feels Like Nothing
Gene's harmonics are literally proverbial butter to the ears
Make more beatbox reactions especially those focused on melodic styles😁
I'm glad you watched that first part 3 times because i was about to rewind the video myself haha this stuff is pretty crazy
No autotune is acceptable in wildcards (Beatboxers don't need one tho xD) Gene is a master of musicality , he is just that good at his craft .
wtf ... I got goosebumps! This is absolute mastery of the human voice!
i subscribed because you are a genuine personality who captured my attention in an awesome way :)
Only effect allowed is slight reverb. These guys who are at this level are all absolute brilliant artists.

Can't wait to see more beatboxing reaction ❤❤❤❤
youre about to go down a HUUUUGE spiral of beatboxing and enjoy every second 😅
I would like to recommend: Taras Stanin | The Hills (The Weeknd Beatbox Cover). It is a lot more edited than the clip from Gene, but that just shows what one can do with the "raw" audio in post in my opinion.
No autotune at all, he can do it without any mic, just his voice.
Feels like nothing from stitch and youll be mind blown😂😂
D-Low - Sing a Little Harmony
I love these Bbx reactions keep em comin
you must see Bigman - The Window
that so dope and beautiful beatbox
They're not allowed to change the wildcards more than a flat EQ over the whole track (not allowed to EQ sounds individually) and maybe a compressor as far as I'm aware. So there are restrictions in place, they need to be able to perform it live basicly :) Thank you for checking out beatboxing, always fun to see vocal coaches checking it out.
No autotune, raw mic input with reverb
You should watch River - solo elimination gbb23
Hey there Mike here :) I noticed your video just yet, so sorry. I´m glad you enjoyed it. :D
There are so many good videos for you to see in this category. JAIRO are becoming a big deal. WING, Taras Stanin , and HISS have some fantastic stuff too.
When you love this, you should watch BIGMAN The-Window (beatbox Version)
Gene is so good! Thank you for this one! Gene's shorts are also really good.

She reminds me of Ashley Johnson, both visually, and also the way she talks 😊
😂😂😂😂 cool reaction 😂😂😂😂
More beatbox reaction pls❤🥺🙏
More beatbox reaction please hehe
Just watch for MB14 and Robin and you'll see other aspects of beatboxing mixed to total voice control
According to the rules of the GBB there should not be any effects, so everything here is done as cleanly as possible and this is confirmed by Gene he is a master in his field😉
No auto tune. You can check out Dlow or some other beat boxers, too!
A guy named flutebox beatboxes while playing the flute, and it's exactly as good as you think it could be!
So got to check out show go hes amazing
You've only just hit the beatbox rabbit hole, there's people like Lennard, D-Low, SO-SO, NaPoM and many other legends of their style of beatbox
You should definitely check out stitch “feels like nothing” and den “twisted fate”
Great vid my first time here keep up the great work ❤
i subbed to this video, please do more beatbox stuff!

You will love Den from canada. Yes bestowing has changed since we were young!! The song he gearboxes is called Missing you. Enjoy!!!!!!
you gotta listen to sitich he's amazing. I'd recommend his 2021 wildcard video
And us beatboxers are just chilling enjoying genes control with his lip oscillations. ;)
Strict rules on competition entry videos miss, just reverb. Awesome reaction. Show Go is on that musicality level as well.
vocodah - inward bass god and headbangers, check this out please
You should check out show-go! Silver is one of my personal favorites from him
You should also check out the beatboxer Wing. You wanna hear a master of musicality, he’s one for sure.
I like that it's so slow. That's fucking hard to do.
This video is his submission for competition, so any effect like auto tune is strictly prohibited.
The vocal technique he use is closer to yodeling
Lol watch it in live if you cannot believe it. Theres a live elimination of gene doing that exact routine
You should react to River'-My Way
If you liked this, watch Stitch -Feels like nothing ! He's mastered polyphonic Singing even beyond R&B legend Layla Hathaway
TARAS STANIN, SHOW-GO, MAD TWINS
These are MUST WATCH. They guy in this video was good but go watch these guys.
by the way, before he got into beatboxing I believe he used to be a vocal teacher as well or he got a lot of teaching from a vocal teacher, I don't remember but is something about that line
TARAS STANIN The Hills - I recommend
he is simply a unique person
I love your reaction to beatbox!!! If you need more, here are 3 channels that might impress you:
1. Jairo
2. Taras Stanin
3. D-Low
Also mb14 la cup showcase hes operatic singing will blow your mind
