His voice is literally the bottom end of an organ. In my opinion he has to be the greatest oktavist in living memory, as I prefer his tone far more than Zlatopolksy as great as he was.
I call him The Rebirth of Zlatopolsky. Mikhail only sounded the way that he did because of the inferior recording equipment they had back in the day, to be able to sing just like him on modern-day equipment requires an even more Monsterous voice. Not to mention, Glenn doesn't speak like a swamp monster, he has a fairly normal speaking voice
Chances are that Miller may have a larger ranger (by a few notes), but I prefer Zlatopolsky voice (timber) over Miller's. Zlato is much fuller, rounder. Even Eric Holloway is a better singer.
@@viperstrike3827 We don't know though if Eric could have the same power live without microphone as Glenn. It's completely different when you're singing at your home compared to singing live.
@@MultiKamil97 He's not a natural low bass in the same way that someone like Mikhail Zlatopolsky is. He's a standard bass. Majority of other supposed 'basses' are usually baritones.
@@KajiVocals I wouldn't say he's a standard bass. A standard bass should have at least strong and full E2 and Glenn can go even a whole octave lower than that with a decent power.
Glenn Miller is a phenomenon. He is a graduate of Westminster Choir College (as am I), a fine organist and director of music at a church, and a genuinely nice person.
Anybody going to take a moment to realize that Eric sounds exactly like him in the Christmas song?? These are the two most monsterous voices of this time
@@manwithmonstervoice1100, because Eric is pushing his larynx lower to reach those notes... Glenn doesn't have to, so you get to hear the harmonic content of his neutral larynx notes.
@@manwithmonstervoice1100, the sound and timbre of those lower notes is all I need to hear. There is nothing wrong with that... Glenn is just a lower bass than Eric and can keep a neutral larynx in places Eric cannot. Not too many basses in the world (even basso profundos) can keep a neutral larynx when singing that deep. Glenn is just a freak of nature.
@@johndeeregreen4592 i think you didn't understand my question!!! How are you so sure about that Eric is pushing his larynx down?? His larynx is not even visible because of his beard!!
He is definitely one of only probably a dozen who can project like that in the 1st octave. I am a trained bass and can project into the 1st octave... then there is Glenn Miller projection.
Glenn is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! What a GIFT and a GREAT talent!! Some of the guys from my high school choir couldn't even go as low as him back in the day. He hits every low note on PERFECT PITCH!! I ALSO noticed that it seems like he has a "THREE-OCTAVE RANGE" which is "TRULY" INCREDIBLE for a singer like him!! He is DEFINITELY a TRUE BASS!! Keep up the "GREAT WORK" Glenn!!
Awesome video! Glenn Miller is amazing, I don't know if I'm hearing it wrongly, but for me from the E1 at the end to the B0, it's actually a half step lower, so I'm hearing an Eb1, C#1, B0, Bb0.
Interesting fact: perfect pitch tends to waver by about a semitone with age. It happened to Oscar Peterson and a bunch of classical musicians as well. Check out Rick Beato's video "Why I don't want perfect pitch" for more info!
His voice was already cracking. Maybe if he covered hights better then he would be able to reach E4 but it seems that its not about zlatopolsky or kurt moll
@@richardharrold9736 no doubt its Zlatopolsky. Not because I like him its because all his recordings include notes C1-F#4. He was able to project C1 over the choir so probably his lowest note was about A-G0 idk... Yuri said he heard by himself zlat singing G4 in a song so you know... It looks like Zlatopolsky had the widest range of all oktavists... And it may be around 4 octaves in full "chest" voice. Also all male voices have falsetto so you can add an octave to it.
I can only imagine how unearthly beautiful and yet scary it would be to hear an army of men with his voice backed by an army of Carnyx, unseen in the Irish mists as they slowly appear and stride into battle. Any enemy hearing that would die of fright!
Не знаю насколько он бас профундо, на самом деле, но то, что он прекрасный певец, с красивым, полноценным басом сверху до самых крайних нижних нот баса-октависта - это факт, и это действительно большая редкость!
There is no F# sung in that Tebe Poem, nor for the notes chosen from All Night Vigil mvt 9 or mvt 11 (besides the final sequence). That is a harmonic lock. I’ve never heard any choir octave the Tebe Poem sequence. It’s very clear when Glenn is oktaving a note, he does it at the end of movement 11, which is listed. The “Out of the Deep” concert only had surprise oktaved sequences at the end of certain pieces, mvt 11, and Bogoroditse Devo by Kalinnikov. As for why the F sounds “weak” in my interview with him way back, zoom has a latency cut off for pitch and volume. It was a volume cap for sure. I sung for Vladimir Gorbik, the director for Patram a couple months back and he talked about how there are oktavists like Glenn who are powerhouses but have a specific note that their volume leaves dramatically. For Glenn i think the F is where the foghorn quality backs off a little. Not that anyone besides patram and Sheehan are asking for more.
I will have to post it sometime but I actually recorded him on older equipment and he sounds exactly like Zlatopolsky as far as the earthquake sound goes behind even the 2nd octave notes
The only way without being born with it is to just give it time. A lot of basses are old people for a reason. Just focus on becoming a good overall singer instead.
It is called cheat fry and honestly every extreme bass uses it without knowing most of the time but the key to develop it is AMAZING breath support Give it time and youll get there dw
It's very harmful to push you're voice down.....damage is permanent....Glenn is naturally blessed with those amazing notes.....truly you either have them or you don't. Most of us don't. Accept it and deal with it.

The amazing thing about him is that his lowest chest note is about F1 but he can overpower the whole choir on Ab1. Interesting....
What's the highest note he can hit? He has insane range, but I haven't got perfect (or really any) pitch, so I can't estimate.

His voice is way heavier than the other Miller(Vladimir)
And that’s saying something, because Vladimir can have a pretty healthy sound when he pushes it.
Seeing him sing along with Eric Alatorre would be a dream.
If I am not mistaken, that life-changing phenomenon has already occurred! Stand by I’ll be see if I can find the clip.

@10:08 That F1 is quite legit. I remember hearing that back in the day. Beast.
Сила этого Миллера в том, что у него сольный центральеы бас, а не хоровой, да ещё плюс контроктава.
И при этом резкий голос
My lowest relatively stable note is A1. Anything below just growls wildly.
Consider trying subharmonics
Amazing video!!
im so sad you didnt do anything from benedict sheehan’s vespers. the amount of INSANE low notes in that piece is sooo perfect for this video
I am left to wonder as to what vocal mechanism allows the production of those glorious low notes.

Yo! I, too, can do D2 chest voice. But it is the absolute lowest I can do atm until my voice matures in its 30s-50s

Where’d you get the clip of him doing a Bb0? He claims that he didn’t do it I think in an interview with Alexander Mayang.
Hey
Does anyone know how to expand lower chest voice? I mean is it possible by some training?
Practice, keeping the voice healthy and most importantly time, gotta be patient and not push your voice too hard
