I have been watching your reaction videos for a while and finally decided to take the deep dive into your older content. I just finished you voice type series and I am so glad I took the time to do so. I really like the description of the character types each range is likely to be cast in. Thank you for your time.
im not remotely a baritone but when i try to recite something with a baritonal quality i actually do that quite a bit. i guess it's the majestic quality feeling
I am a new viewer as of tonight and I have been devouring your videos! I do wish you’d have put in some clips of examples rather than just in the background in these, as viewers like me (not a singer, lol) would love to hear examples so I can try and pick it out for myself :). Love this channel! Can’t wait to watch more! You’re so fun to watch! Thank you!
Another famous baritone is Bing Crosby, but in his later years his voice dropped a litter bit to bass - baritone. Maybe that is why I can sing his songs that easily. Your videos are so nice to watch, especcaly during COVID - Lockdown. Keep going...
Just found you, love your stuff, when I was in high school I was put has a baritone, pain in the butt when your singing a harmony that sits close to the tenor two part lol
Oh, Elizabeth, when you see power metal singers, male and female, doing a similar gesture to the baritone claw, but with the arm outstreched it's because it helps them reach out to The Mystical Power of the Dragonflame to make their singing more awessome. It's true, when you'll hear Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness, all will be explained... 😇😇
I'm a baritone and a friend introduced me to Depeche Mode's music as an example of a baritone lead singer in rock (Dave Gahan). Other non-classical baritones that come to mind are Johnny Cash, Tom Jones, and Till Lindemann (Rammstein). I see James Hetfield (Metallica) described as a baritone, too, but for some reason never thought of him in that range.
Other rock baritones include David Bowie, Paul Rodgers, Jim Morrison, Eddie Vedder, David Lee Roth, David Coverdale, Ian Gillan, David Byron (Uriah Heep), Layne Staley, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Billy Idol, Gary Brooker (Procol Harum), James Dewar (Robin Trower), Doug Pinnick (King's X) and Jeff Scott Soto.
Given it's hugely in fashion I was jealous of the clarity and high notes tenors could hit at one point. Then I realised I could hit the E flat 2 singing 'Let It Go' an octave below and all was well.
Twenty-five years ago I was walking through the music department at college and saw a cartoon someone had put up on their office door: "Women swoon when the tenor sings, but the baritone takes them home."
Some examples from current popular music would be Rag'n'Bone Man ('Human', 'Skin') and George Ezra ('Shotgun', 'Blame It on Me'). I guess they stick out and are popular because they are different from what we normally hear on the radio, but i really wish this was the beginning of a trend to diversify popular music.
Roger Whittaker was a wonderful baritone and amazing whistler from South Africa. You should check his song The Mexican whistler performed in Vienna Austria or the Finnish whistler . His breath control is cool !
Loved your thorough, but easy to understand explanation. If you can, please categorize Nelson Eddy's range on "Stout-Hearted Men" from the movie "New Moon".
That is amazing! I'm a 17 y/o soon to turn 18 Baritone and my range is C#2-Bb4-G#5. I can't whistle, so that's all I have so far, but I'm really happy! :D
Ah (he says with his best resonant chest voice), I have found my people. And what do you know, I have recently started a new HIIT workout program that is all but guaranteed to yield chiseled abs. Barihunks here I come! 😆😆😆
Thank you very much for all the information! When I went to a Classical Music School, my Professors told me that my voice was a Batitone with tendencies of Tenor! But then I quit Classical Music School and I begin to smoke!
Makes sense. Years ago often the villain in school productions as almost all the other capable singers were tenors. Don't think the barihunk classification fits me though.
Thank you for your videos. I have I question that is should we always lower and tilt the larynx for high notes Or it just has to be in a neutral position?
So, if you are born a baritone, are you always a baritone? Is it possible to train into a higher range? I like to sing rock, county, misc folk... is vocal compression my way out to go up on some material?
It depends. When you sing in opera, you can learn to sing higher and play tenor roles but when it comes to contemporary singing it stays that way all your life basically. It's because you can't really change your timbre (well, you can make it deeper with vodka and cigs lol but you can't really make it lighter) and your tessitura so your comfortable range will always be more bariton-ish than tenor-ish. I mean, even if you learn how to sing comfortably a high C (C5) for example, you still will have more ease singing around low C (C3) as that's how your vocal chords are build like. I hope that answers your questions.
Well, now Scott Hoying's inability to keep his hands still when singing makes sense (I even saw in one video of him playing piano and his hand keeps lifting up) unless he's gripping something like in Say Something video, some times he even goes for the double claw lol. Oh and if it's the whole holding the head of an enemy thing then it puts a new spin on the video of Favourite Things where he ends up clutching a skull. How do we get him his Barihunk shirt? Or does he have to appear in an opera to qualify? Lol.
I don’t think it needs much discussion. It’s generally a lower baritone voice that has less on top but an almost bass-like quality to their voice in the middle of their range. It basically overlaps between a higher bass roles and those of dramatic baritones, but has some roles written for it.
Some say I am a tenor, but now I realized I am just too handsome for that, so I must be a baritone. Thanks!
LOL
🤣🤣
Woops, did you mean "lower than tenors and higher than basses"? 😉🎶
YUP. Thanks for the catch!
@@TheCharismaticVoice No problem! Love your videos :)
When Dimash comes up thats words can be true xDDD
I caught that too, she just misspoke. Isn't she cool?
I noticed that too!
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is a legend! He wasn't just a singer, but also a conductor, reciter and painter.
When you mentioned "The Baritone Claw" I couldn't stop smiling, because I realized how much I do that when I belt high notes. :D

Loved this video. You have a great sense of humor.

If you ever do a video on the different voice types when used in Rock/pop I will definitely watch it. Love the channel!

Isn’t Till a bass?

"The opera loved it, the people loved it," and Nathan Gunn hated it. xP
Twenty-five years ago I was walking through the music department at college and saw a cartoon someone had put up on their office door: "Women swoon when the tenor sings, but the baritone takes them home."
He's holding the skull of his enemy...
Hermann Prey ranks very high as my favorite overall Baritone. He played Figaro excellently in both Mozart and Rossini's respective operas.
Some examples from current popular music would be Rag'n'Bone Man ('Human', 'Skin') and George Ezra ('Shotgun', 'Blame It on Me'). I guess they stick out and are popular because they are different from what we normally hear on the radio, but i really wish this was the beginning of a trend to diversify popular music.
Simon Keenlyside is one of my all time favorite baritones
Roger Whittaker was a wonderful baritone and amazing whistler from South Africa. You should check his song The Mexican whistler performed in Vienna Austria or the Finnish whistler . His breath control is cool !
You in the apartments down town nice back ground see them all the time
Hey I used to use the baritone claw while teaching.
Loved your thorough, but easy to understand explanation. If you can, please categorize Nelson Eddy's range on "Stout-Hearted Men" from the movie "New Moon".
I’m a low baritone/high bass. I struggle to hit the high baritone/low-mid tenor range, and also the lowest bass notes. But I love singing low.
A notable example of a baritone in alternative music is Matt Berninger of The National.
I’m a Baritone and my range is F2-B4-F5 and my highest note is E6/F6 in whistle
That is amazing! I'm a 17 y/o soon to turn 18 Baritone and my range is C#2-Bb4-G#5. I can't whistle, so that's all I have so far, but I'm really happy! :D
my favorite pop baritone is Seal
Very late to the party, but I would nominate Jim Morrison as possibly the greatest non-classical baritone of the 20th century.
Wrong way round: higher than basses and lower than tenors
Ah (he says with his best resonant chest voice), I have found my people. And what do you know, I have recently started a new HIIT workout program that is all but guaranteed to yield chiseled abs. Barihunks here I come! 😆😆😆

Dimitry Hvorostovsky!!!
That's me never get the girl, but I can freak the tenor
Thank you for your videos. I have I question that is should we always lower and tilt the larynx for high notes Or it just has to be in a neutral position?
Gordon Lightfoot is another example, but he’s folk pop.
they sing higher than tenors and lower than basses? So they sing everywhere. hahah
I'm a baritone, not a hunk (yet;-)
0:20. Higher than tenors, but lower than basses? 🤔
So, if you are born a baritone, are you always a baritone? Is it possible to train into a higher range? I like to sing rock, county, misc folk... is vocal compression my way out to go up on some material?

How do we get him his Barihunk shirt? Or does he have to appear in an opera to qualify? Lol.
I'm wondering if Leonard Cohen was a Baritone or would have been more of a Bass? With his semi-spoken style it feels hard for me to judge.
Great two reasons I'm not a baritone
My physics professor is a baritone.
I want to hear you sing a nice song, maybe ABBA. You might have Viking blood.
I'm hot....does this mean I'm a baritone?😂
Do you plan to make a video discussing the bass-baritone voice at all? :D
I don’t think it needs much discussion. It’s generally a lower baritone voice that has less on top but an almost bass-like quality to their voice in the middle of their range. It basically overlaps between a higher bass roles and those of dramatic baritones, but has some roles written for it.
You flubbed at the beginning. You said higher than tenors but lower than basses.
Baritones sing higher than tenors but lower than basses?! LOL!
Don’t you mean that the baritone sings higher than the bass, but lower than the tenor?
Higher than tenor but lower than bass lmao
Cute but lack of details. U shud mention about all baritone types.
how beautiful you are.😊
