      @@kIDNEYKid-xt9uc I guess strain is the wrong word. When you tighten up and push notes harder, it makes them go higher, rather than lower. It's not like when you've been screaming out notes. He probably does get fatigue eventually, but it's not the same. He says he usually does those hard to reach low notes when he first wakes up. He also multi-tracks those notes and boost the bass on the recordings. But he can produce them live in the air, since he's done it in live recordings on his tiktok. He has worked hard to improve his lower range. It didn't come naturally, like some people would like to believe. Your voice is a muscle, and he has worked on his voice for a lot of years, and continues to improve.

      You don't develop into a bass; sorry, not the way it works.

A baritone doesn't develop into a bass and hit an F#1 in chest voice... that's just not possible.

    As a bass with a wide range (Eb0-B5 (E1-B4 in chest voice), the high notes are far more stressful on the voice. Some of these fake basses on TH-cam, as I like to call them, I am sure they strain the heck out of their voices with the different techniques they overuse. Geoff did this cover 100% in chest voice, maintained proper larynx placement, and didn't push it, so I am sure it was easy for him.

When he first did that for Oogie Boogie, it was something that still took him multiple tries to do to get it recorded for the track. He commented that it took him a lot longer to learn how to do it consistently when singing 'live', (particularly because it involves him coming from a fairly high note down to that E1 in a couple of phrases) and they learned that they needed to put the song near the end of the set to get his voice sufficiently warmed up to be sure that he could do it. He hit a C1 for his 'Way Down' video, said it took him 80 takes. It's one thing to technically 'hit' the note and a whole other thing to actually make it 'musical'. He complains that it is Layne who writes the lowest arrangements for him, and the most demanding in going from high to low, and that his goal is NOT to continually sing lower, it is sing better.

And if you ever hear him speak, you'll have the answer to your question about why his lower register is fuller than most and why he doesn't get vocal fatigue down there.

      Part of what he can do is because of training for what is called "Broadcast Voices". It is training people take who want to get into being Radio DJs or Broadcasters for the news, etc. and the big thing they learn and work on is projecting their voices. I think that is what really separates Geoff from other great Bass singers is his ability to project his voice as he can and it helps give him one of the cleanest and clearest Baritone voices out there.

  • @DreadKyller
    @DreadKyller 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Geoff has a video where he explains how he goes so low, utilizing a technique known as subharmonics. It's a vocal technique that is similar to some techniques that have been around in orthodox music for centuries, but it's a fairly unstudied in the world of vocal pedagogy, While people have found ways to explain how to get into the subharmonic register, there's no fully complete agreement about exactly how the mechanism works, I've heard there's a few vocal pedagogy students and ENT students studying it as part of their thesis, so maybe we'll have a definite answer soon. But what we do know is that it utilized the subharmonic series, your voice sounds an octave lower than the pitch you're voice it setup to sing.
    Personally I'm a bass-baritone voice, and Geoff inspired me to learn subharmonics. It took a bit of practice but I managed to learn it myself, I'm no where near as consistent as Geoff with it and I can't get as low as he can (he seems able to go to a second subharmonic (2 octaves lower than target note) which is much harder I've managed to do it once and haven't been able to recreate it), but one thing I can say is that when done well, it feels very easy. To get into subharmonics you are doing something between an M1 chest voice note and vocal fry, you relax your voice into subharmonics and it's a very unique sensation, the frequencies get low enough that you really start feeling the vibrations much stronger. But again you really have to relax into it, introducing tension into subharmonic register you'll notice very quickly, as it will not feel good when doing it wrong.

    • @friedemannkemm63
      @friedemannkemm63 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      In this video, Geoff avoids subharmonics. It wouldn't have served the song.
      BTW, a Brazilian professor named Leonardo Fuks already did some research on subharmonics. There is a demonstration video where he goes down even to the seventh subharmonic. The 1st subharmonic is an octave below the fundamental, the second a fifth below that, the third an octave below the fundamental (edit: below the first subharmonic) etc, much like mirroring the overtone series.
      Edit: Thanks to Upside Down Pyramid for the correction.

    • @upsidedownpyramid7617
      @upsidedownpyramid7617 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Just a quick correction, first subharmonic is an octave lower, second subharmonics is a fifth lower than that, a third subharmonic is 2 full octaves below the original note. I think the only time Geoff has activated second subharmonics is in the halo and the skyrim themes with his B0 and D1 respectively. Most people can activate a good subharmonic when the note is too low in the chest, so Geoff wouldn’t sing a chest B1 and then activate a sub B0, he would instead use a second subharmonic from a subharmonic F1 (ish) to drop to the B0.

    • @upsidedownpyramid7617
      @upsidedownpyramid7617 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I originally was too tense when I did subharmonics which is how I learned to go so low with second subharmonics. I had trouble singing first subharmonics because I’d introduce too much fry and tension, automatically popping into an E1 or lower. I can sing down to an E1 in first subharmonic, an A0 in second, and down to like F0 with growl, probably even lower with fry and inhale, but I really care most about having a good full resonant first and second octave.

    To answer the question. Yes we do feel it. Our folds have to be extremely relaxed to hit those notes. Some of which are subharmonics. Its the same as any vocal technique, it costs energy and effort

    Hey Tara! This is my first video of yours that I've seen but I wanted to answer the question you asked at 3:00. I have a range of D1-F5 (That includes subharmonic range but I'm also 15 so I say it counts) and I can confirm to you that it is actually very similar fatigue wise to sing super low as it is to sing super high. It isn't as hard I would say but it is absolutely crucial to have water or else you will fatigue and fry your voice when you're singing super low notes
    I hope this helps! 💜

    And Geoff isn't even the lowest. Tim Foust and Avi Kaplan are slightly lower, others like Elliott Robinson and, most notably Eric Hollaway are considerably lower. If You want to hear a fully developed operatic vibrato at an F1, you have to go to Eric, his own channel, his Tiktok, or to Chapter Six. If you want to hear a human voice sounding like a bass guitar or a double bass, Elliott is your guy. You can hear (but not see) him in Pitch Perfect 2 as the bass of Das Sound Machine.
    BTW, Elliott is quite recently featured on The Bass Gang's cover of Mad World and Eric Hollaway on Marwan's (member of the Bass Gang) cover of Heat wave.

      Tim uses growl to get down to A0 ( if i remember correctly ) which Geoff also has done. When did Avi go that low though, as far as I remember he's never been as low as Tim and Geoff... Tim and Geoff certainly aren't the lowest basses out there, there are several that are stronger and lower than them. But to me, the tone of the voice matters most.

      @johndeeregreen4592 and @markmclendon8621 I totally agree. I can only speak for myself, but the lower the easier to maintain it for a long time. For me it is relaxing to sing very low (basso profondo range) - but I bow to the ground to Avi, Geoff and Tim who can sing pretty high as well. I am far off that well trained in the high range. At the moment the high range (high bass, baritone range) is killing me - and those guys are able to hit the tenor range. Kudos. Chapeau.

    I know you’re probably not checking comments at this point. But, to answer your question as someone who sings around the same register as Geoff, after repeated singing, there isn’t much strain on your voice. The difficulty comes from your neck muscles tiring from having to pull your throat down to sing the notes. Also, to comment on his seeming effortless. If you can sing that low, it is pretty effortless. What’s more impressive to me about him is his high notes. Like, in Oogie boogie his high notes are amazing and I personally struggle to hit them.

There are a few more songs that aren't on the official channel's uploads - they're on the individual members' channels, since they were done before the group made a channel as a group. they do have a "playlist" with them, though, and they're all Billy Eilish.
    You'll probably want to check out some of their solo work afterwards, especially Marwan's.
