Here's the best way to manage this: when reaching low, try to keep the resonance higher - don't let it sink all the way to the bottom of your body very quickly, but just let it slide smoothly into the chest. When trying to hit low, use closed vowels like 'oo' or 'ee' to get the lows easier, then open them up. Also, try mixing chest voice with vocal fry for the absolute bottom notes. There won't be terribly much power, but the notes will be more present than how he's singing in this video.
Lol indeed, he is totally not a bass. Just because someone can hit low notes does not mean he is a bass singer. A real bass sounds a lot thicker in his lower register, like Barry White or Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix - now that is a bass singer.
He's not trying to fake his range, he's just trying to extend it.This video isn't just for bass singers to improve their bass voice, it's for anyone in general to improve/extend the lower end of their range.
I heard it to, he's a semitone lower than the key of the piano... not just that but the guy's also a baritone not a bass.. so forcing him to try to be a bass is just damaging his voice.
Bass vocals come with less strain when you relax. Timbre is also what determines a true bass from a baritone. If you can hit the lower notes with weight and full volume with a consistent tone then you are more than likely a bass. I hate when teachers confuse sound placement with vocal classification.
Its simple just practice your lower notes.. If your voice can go to the lowest note of the piano and your voice is audible, then your voice became perfect..
Goes directly against several vocal coaches I've had. Always been told to push for a more nasally resonance as I go lower rather than risking the sound being swallowed by putting too much chest into it.
A bass range varies with each voice. The timbre of the voice is what truly makes a bass, and that comes with the range. I personally can only hit an E2 or maybe a half-step down, but I am a bass because of the timbre of my voice, a very dark and open tone. True, this may make me more of a bass-baritone, but I am still classified as a bass.
@@timothyemery7918 I don't sing but I have a deep voice. I was listening to rammstein and looked up their singer can hit G1. So I download a tuner app and turns out I can hit A1 consistently which apparently is lower than many. I never really thought about this stuff. Since I just started, it sounds like with proper training I could possibly get down to G1 or F1
@@manager4409 I suggest voice lessons if you want to get started. But make sure you take lessons from someone who knows what they are doing and have training.
I think a better title for this video would be "how to improve your bass REGISTER." The singer here is a baritone, but still has a "bass register" relative to the rest of his voice. What most basses need for overall vocal improvement is work on mixed voice and upper register.
Yes I agree. He sounds more like a baritone to me as well. In fact, not even a lower baritone, like a rather high baritone I think but I could be wrong.
Hi, Just wanted to send a friendly message. I just listened to quite a few you tube videos on bass singing lessons, and YOURS was the only one that made scense. I particularly liked where you said that a singing voice is like an instrument, the more you practice the better you sound. Never looked at it that way....! I wish I could afford you as my bass singing teacher. God bless your work. Kind regards, Paul T
With all due respect, this dude in the video is, at the lowest, a higher baritone, definitely not a bass. I've even heard tenors with similar low notes to him. I used to think he was a baritone at the start, but when I realized how hard his low notes really are for him I think he's probably a mid to low tenor.
Not to be rude, but this is terrible advice. The way to gain volume and resonance on low notes is to place the tone in the mask (vocal twang). Pulling the note into the chest will bring the larynx down, thus engaging the swallowing muscles and causing tension.
Maybe instead of criticizing someone who has most likely had voice lessons from trained professionals and taken Vocal Pedagogy in order to learn teaching techniques you should try and understand what she means by 'pulling the sound down'. She didn't say, 'swallow your sound' at all. What she means to say is that the lower you go you need to activate your abdominals and breathe like your lungs go down to your pelvis and connect with your body and sound to get the full resonance.
+Hitashi son Is your voice just weilding vocal fry properly? I know it's involved, it's simply impossible to hit those notes through chest voice, but when I practice vocal fry it sounds nothing like the clean notes bass singers do
You could just have a great range to work with. My singing range goes from G1 to B4. I can hit the C5 on rare occasions, but I'm struggling to get there. This means I have a little more than a 3 octave range to my voice, but I am by no means a "super singer" as you put it. Some people are just blessed with a wide vocal range, and it appears you may be one of those people. There are some people out there that can't be pigeon holed into a voice type. Freddy Mercury had a 4 octave range F2-F6
It has to do with knowledge, not ability. A skiing coach, for instance, doesn't have to ski, a football coach doesn't have to play foot ball, etc. Don't you think? And certainly you could give lessons about childbirth, many men doctors do. You just have to know how, not do it yourself. I give you a D for understanding.
Yea, you sounds like me boring teachers that teach about things that never saw/tried/had any experience with... But there are few of them, that speaks about their experiences and that really get my attention. So try think about it, tahnks ;)
Geo g You just threw the worst argument EVER, people like you are the reason school full of boring teachers can be so boring for a lot of people. If you want to teach something, you MUST know how to do it, what the fuck are you planing to teach, and how the fuck are you planing to understand and help the person if you havent gone throgh that yourself.
Well gmfrk197, I am a trained basso and I know that good advice is specific. Example: you do not say "sing softer" when you refer to volume because "soft" is a term that is better used for the quality of voice. Second techniques are better demonstrated with the appropriate range. She said "if you HAVE got the bass voice...." not 'if you have a baritone or low tennor... 'pulling it down' is better suited to describe swallowing the sound than brightening it.
I'm sorry, but first of all, he is no bass... And the last tone... it sounds not very healthy, he pushes the tone and lets the tone not coming... That is always difficult for the vocal stripes. If he would let come the tone, then his vocal stripes would be relaxed (if the tone comes or not), but when he pushes the tone, then the vocal stripes are sounding like in your example, not clear, more scratching.
hello gd evening mem Sonia I would like to ask a question that my younger sister sang like a boy what I mean that her voice is just like a man but I and she wants her voice to become a very melodious voice what kind of voice exercise does she necessary for getting melodious voice please upload a of the voice exercise which I want to know
It's true. No formal lessons here and I also could go quite a bit lower. I was hoping for more of a lesson rather than a "Just go lower to go lower" lesson.
It sounds more like Baritone to me. That was only an F2 which is where he was kinda frying up. That range is low fro people who are Baritones. Basses can go much lower than that...at least to a C2 or even lower.
I don't see why everyone here is saying you have to sing like a g1 to be a bass. Only the best basses in the world can sing that low. I'm a bass-baritone and I can usually hit a low d. I consider myself fairly low. But I agree that this guy is a tenor 2 or baritone.
People who aren't natural singers make the mistake of trying to 'place' the voice when they sing, they try to make it come from their chest -- but the 'secret' is that it comes from exactly the same place as the talking voice.For someone who isn't a natural singer the simplest technique in the world is to HUM just before you sing -- but a 'Singing Tutor' won't tell you this otherwise you'd realise you don't need their lessons ( and lessons...and lessons).When someone who isn't a natural singer finds that their voice has 'wandered' halfway through the second verse of a song, don't panic, HUM again into your next singing note and this will put your voice back in the right place --- people hum now and then as a natural part of their speech, and they don't have to think about 'placing' that hum......well, do they?* After a while, you can learn to 'internalise' the hum (so that no-one hears it) -- otherwise, hum softly................and continue singing.
"morning" in the morning the vocal chords are swollen, thats why you can get low, in the morning i can sing on C2. G2 is pretty low for a tenor, but youre obviously singing for some time now, a tenor whose never practiced before can get only about a2 as lowest, so u can determine a vocal type by ranges
im a Bass Baritone, so basically i can't sing.. too low for rock/pop , not low enough to be a cool bass.. irrelevant range lel i never listened a song fit for my vocal range, it's a fucking disgrace.
@@charlesvanderhoog7056 Sure, everyone has such points. However, to say that it's at what should be a relatively easy note for a bass singer, or to imply that the point is the same for all bass singers, is just factually inaccurate.
I used to sing bass notes but now I'm in singing lessons learning to sing more tenor notes since I am naturally a tenor who was a baritone in my senior of high school. I used to have a medium range with the baritone solos as well as Italian songs sung in medium low keys and I discovered now in college I am comfortable singing the tenor solos and Italian songs in medium high keys plus learning German Art Lieder. So I don't have a bass baritone range or true bass range really than I do have a mix of high baritone and normal tenor range therefore a true low tenor range that sings well often on medium high keys and sometimes can sing songs in high keys. However the low voice I can use would be a low B or B2 as my lowest but may sound weak. Some tenors may sing bass notes from C2 - E2. I am most comfortable with middle and high notes and my high range is getting stronger enough to be more of a tenor than a baritone/bass. He must be a regular baritone and he should not worry about his low notes.
Low F, actually. You're perfectly right, of course - a real bass should be singing down to around the D or the C, and with some time, probably Bb or A below the staff, but yeah...just wanted to correct that with my obsessive perfect pitch.
omw... it seems people who come on here and comment... shouldn't.... as you all seem to know everything already especially how good you are and how bad others are. this video seems like its for beginners so let it go people and maybe some will find it helpful.
Also, don't get brighter per se, rather get lighter and lift your soft pallet so you don't let the sound sag and go flat rather stay on top of the note and pitch.
If what you just said is true, then yes that would be a bass speaking voice. However, just because you speak bass it doesn't mean you have to only sing bass and restrict yourself from singing anything else. Some people can't choose which type of voice they can sing in and have a limited range. Other singers can choose which voice type they can be part of. Who knows what's possible for you?
Ummm, he's not a tenor. A typical bass range is classified as E2 to E4. His note range in this video went from C3 down to F2...WELL within the bass range. Most tenors I have worked with seem to bottom out around D3 to E3. @Owneandor1337 If you can hit those notes, good for you and I don't mean that sarcastically. However, you would probably be classified as a baritone.
My vocal has went down to a B0 so im ready for high school chior first year of high school. And im 14 years old btw thank you for your help to make my voice go deeper
RE: vocal range- Saw André Bocelli on Kimmel recently and he showed a bottom that I had never heard him do before. Has a helluva range!!! 3 1/2 octaves?
Not to be harsh, but yeah this isn't very good. If you push the sound down then you stuff it in your throat which is very bad long term for your vocal chords and can cause pain. It's better to do a humming sound and feel it at the front of your mouth, then try and mimick that feeling without a closed mouth
This was absolutely horrible. As a basso profondo and semi professional singer the worst advice you can give a bass is to "brng it down into your body". Aside from the fact that is person isn't a bass, more like a baritone , it's better to view or think about your voice resonating from the bones in your face. if you want the sound to travel anywhere. Think ' up and out".
I find it most helpful to descend by half steps when warming up the lower part of my voice. I hope there's a different reason, but it seems like this teacher is only having her student sing the 'white keys' of her piano, whole steps after the first interval down.
nope, bartione's range are F2~G2-F4~G4 and tenor cannot hit lower than a2 without strainin the voice. altough you can expand the range easily, im a baritone and i can hit C5 for a short time, but still get to that note
I'm nearly 17 and I've got no problem hitting E2, but this guy is definetely a high baritone. Can anyone tell me, am I a true bass or just a basic baritone?
@@bradleymonroe6443 He's a tenor. A real baritone wouldn't struggle with G2 like he does here. Plus he does F2 with chest-fry and usually baritones are able to sing this note with pure chest with no problem.
Nekros97 F2 is normally a bass note for younger people. Maybe a 30 year old baritone averages at F2 but defiantly not your average high school to collage baritone.
@@boundary2580 I mean, I wouldn't say I average it, but my range bottoms out around F2 for chest voice and I'm a baritone. And I reckon the highest I can get is whatever the high F# is on the tenor clef. I think F#4
Stop hating and look at the positive part. The idea of the video is to pull the note down so it resonates in the chest so it's more powerful? I think idk.
+SinisterDubstep at age 13 having a bass that low is quite incredible. I'm 14, and in my school choir, and I am the only bass who can go the full scale(E2-C4) but try not to fry your notes to much when you go down that low, as that produces an ugly sound, like the guy in the video
If that was that guy's lowest note, he's just a baritone, cause the F2 is usually the baritone's lowest note. And the real basses sound way lower than this, like an A1 or even lower. It's not just hitting YOUR low notes that makes you a bass. For example, my chest range (without frying or falsetto) is C#2-A4, and I still consider myself a baritone, even going much lower than this guy.
True. I am a baritone and can hit a F2 (or E2 on a good day), but it is more than just hitting the notes on pitch - you need to produce a healthy sound too, and this guy has so much vocal fry in his F2, which is bad for his vocal cords in the long run.
+Leonardo Oliveira And I totally cannot believe that this vocal coach does not say anything to correct him with regards to that vocal fry. She will cause him to get nodules or at worst total vocal cord damage in the long run.
The guy has a nice voice but either he's not a bass or he needs to work a bit more on his lower notes because he sounds like he's struggling as he goes deeper. I'm a baritone and to go to the lower notes you have to be conscious to actually open up your voice more and more as you go lower, not to close it because it will make it sound muffled and it can actually be a bit painful after a while since it sounds raspy...
True basses are pretty rare. This guy sounds like a high baritone to me. Not that he couldn't improve low tones, nor high ones for that matter. There are bass baritones that have stunning high C's and D's. They aren't tenors. People just figure it out.
Will Meyer Well from my experience it is harder to develop your lower register than your higher ones - consistency can be achieved with the latter through training, but low notes are often dependent on one's physiology.
Dead Channel - th-cam.com/video/XOcyMDzSryw/w-d-xo.html best explanation i've seen so far.. first is getting the note by the means in which you are capable.. meaning if you have to use fry, use fry .. second is placement - getting the low note into the 'mask'..
Actualy this guy have more a tenor range,a baritone can go lower than that and we can hear a deeper voice, in this case we hear a high range voice trying to fake his range

And amalgam filling also😀

Is it just me or was he off pitch almost on every note?

Bass vocals come with less strain when you relax. Timbre is also what determines a true bass from a baritone. If you can hit the lower notes with weight and full volume with a consistent tone then you are more than likely a bass. I hate when teachers confuse sound placement with vocal classification.
i learnt nothing, you taught nothing and that dude couldn't sing. good day to you sir!
It might help those who don't know they need to use their lower diaphragms to get deeper notes at a laudable volume.
but stating that lowering the larynx is the right technique is dumb.
Its simple just practice your lower notes.. If your voice can go to the lowest note of the piano and your voice is audible, then your voice became perfect..
BUT HOW ? PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY DO IT ,AND WE GET NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW

Sure it is. Most guys' voices don't finish maturing until they are in their 30s. No guy's voice type is certain until he has reached that age.
and from the age 30 too 80 your voice still slowly lowers as your vocal chords age and become slower.

It feels weird when the video has as many likes as dislikes :D
I used to sing bass notes but now I'm in singing lessons learning to sing more tenor notes since I am naturally a tenor who was a baritone in my senior of high school. I used to have a medium range with the baritone solos as well as Italian songs sung in medium low keys and I discovered now in college I am comfortable singing the tenor solos and Italian songs in medium high keys plus learning German Art Lieder. So I don't have a bass baritone range or true bass range really than I do have a mix of high baritone and normal tenor range therefore a true low tenor range that sings well often on medium high keys and sometimes can sing songs in high keys. However the low voice I can use would be a low B or B2 as my lowest but may sound weak. Some tenors may sing bass notes from C2 - E2. I am most comfortable with middle and high notes and my high range is getting stronger enough to be more of a tenor than a baritone/bass. He must be a regular baritone and he should not worry about his low notes.
I'm a bass :) Its not easy too :)
Thanks for good insight.
Low F, actually. You're perfectly right, of course - a real bass should be singing down to around the D or the C, and with some time, probably Bb or A below the staff, but yeah...just wanted to correct that with my obsessive perfect pitch.
1:36
Is he using a subharmonic here or just vocal fry?
omw... it seems people who come on here and comment... shouldn't.... as you all seem to know everything already especially how good you are and how bad others are. this video seems like its for beginners so let it go people and maybe some will find it helpful.
Also, don't get brighter per se, rather get lighter and lift your soft pallet so you don't let the sound sag and go flat rather stay on top of the note and pitch.
how long have you been teaching him? 1 day?
My normal speaking voice is between G1 and A2.. is that consider as "bass voice"?
If what you just said is true, then yes that would be a bass speaking voice. However, just because you speak bass it doesn't mean you have to only sing bass and restrict yourself from singing anything else. Some people can't choose which type of voice they can sing in and have a limited range. Other singers can choose which voice type they can be part of. Who knows what's possible for you?
@@bradycall1889 just becuse someones can sing in baritone dosnt mean they are a baritone singer.
Ummm, he's not a tenor. A typical bass range is classified as E2 to E4. His note range in this video went from C3 down to F2...WELL within the bass range. Most tenors I have worked with seem to bottom out around D3 to E3. @Owneandor1337 If you can hit those notes, good for you and I don't mean that sarcastically. However, you would probably be classified as a baritone.
A lot of the tenors I've heard about bottom out completely at G2 or Gb2/F#2 but can still have some resonance until down to somewhere between B2-D3.
My vocal has went down to a B0 so im ready for high school chior first year of high school. And im 14 years old btw thank you for your help to make my voice go deeper
Hahaha
Pathetic im 13 and can hit a C0 in chest voice and shake the walls
RE: vocal range- Saw André Bocelli on Kimmel recently and he showed a bottom that I had never heard him do before. Has a helluva range!!! 3 1/2 octaves?
I think he's a tenor, because I'm a baritone but can get down to C2 # without using vocal fry
That was helpful. thank you
Not to be harsh, but yeah this isn't very good. If you push the sound down then you stuff it in your throat which is very bad long term for your vocal chords and can cause pain. It's better to do a humming sound and feel it at the front of your mouth, then try and mimick that feeling without a closed mouth
This was absolutely horrible. As a basso profondo and semi professional singer the worst advice you can give a bass is to "brng it down into your body". Aside from the fact that is person isn't a bass, more like a baritone , it's better to view or think about your voice resonating from the bones in your face. if you want the sound to travel anywhere. Think ' up and out".
his low range sounds exactly like mine and I am not a bass!
I find it most helpful to descend by half steps when warming up the lower part of my voice. I hope there's a different reason, but it seems like this teacher is only having her student sing the 'white keys' of her piano, whole steps after the first interval down.
Thank you
Glad to see Indian classical song theories here... In India its called riyaz or practice..
nope,
bartione's range are F2~G2-F4~G4
and tenor cannot hit lower than a2 without strainin the voice.
altough you can expand the range easily, im a baritone and i can hit C5 for a short time, but still get to that note
The comment section is way more better than this tutorial lol
She's the best
"Then that's how you get a better bass sound" Can I hear yours?
I can't find a bass in this video. Where did he go?
Those low notes were easy for me. It is just that I can't sing much when I can only sing low notes.
But the guy has a siiiick voice
not really. Im a freshman and i am equal with the junior and senior basses in my class...so what does that make me XD
ndn mdm Yay first compliment XD jk
at firstt i really thought ur explaiing it at the end u said jk hahahhaha
Am I a bass, if I sang those notes?
If you sand those notes and were comfortable then yes.
...why did I subscribe to this channel?
Useful. Thank you.
This has made a great profession out of ruining a tenor's voice
I'm nearly 17 and I've got no problem hitting E2, but this guy is definetely a high baritone. Can anyone tell me, am I a true bass or just a basic baritone?
Your a counter tenor.
It's a combination of things that determines fach (a fancy word for voice type). I think a vocal coach could help you with that.
Lol this dudes a seprano no way he's bass I'm able to go lower than him
+Flyz it Dies He may actually would be more of a baritone than a bass soprano or tenor.
@@bradleymonroe6443 He's a tenor. A real baritone wouldn't struggle with G2 like he does here. Plus he does F2 with chest-fry and usually baritones are able to sing this note with pure chest with no problem.
Nekros97 F2 is normally a bass note for younger people. Maybe a 30 year old baritone averages at F2 but defiantly not your average high school to collage baritone.
@@boundary2580 I mean, I wouldn't say I average it, but my range bottoms out around F2 for chest voice and I'm a baritone. And I reckon the highest I can get is whatever the high F# is on the tenor clef. I think F#4
@@boundary2580 dude I daily hit Eb2 clearly and I'm a tenor so don't gimme that age bullshit
Stop hating and look at the positive part.
The idea of the video is to pull the note down so it resonates in the chest so it's more powerful? I think idk.
+SinisterDubstep at age 13 having a bass that low is quite incredible. I'm 14, and in my school choir, and I am the only bass who can go the full scale(E2-C4) but try not to fry your notes to much when you go down that low, as that produces an ugly sound, like the guy in the video
Ethan Hayden real basses can sing lower than E2, I'm a lower baritone and I sing C#2
Damn bro im a baritone but can only hit E2. Wish i could go to C#2 as well
If that was that guy's lowest note, he's just a baritone, cause the F2 is usually the baritone's lowest note. And the real basses sound way lower than this, like an A1 or even lower. It's not just hitting YOUR low notes that makes you a bass. For example, my chest range (without frying or falsetto) is C#2-A4, and I still consider myself a baritone, even going much lower than this guy.
True. I am a baritone and can hit a F2 (or E2 on a good day), but it is more than just hitting the notes on pitch - you need to produce a healthy sound too, and this guy has so much vocal fry in his F2, which is bad for his vocal cords in the long run.
Precisely.
+Leonardo Oliveira And I totally cannot believe that this vocal coach does not say anything to correct him with regards to that vocal fry. She will cause him to get nodules or at worst total vocal cord damage in the long run.
Low tenor, Eb2 is lowest effortless chest...
The same thing for me with the last comment
This guy is a baritone, not a bass. Forcing him to try to sing bass is just going to damage his larynx.
Nice improve 😳 amazing
The guy has a nice voice but either he's not a bass or he needs to work a bit more on his lower notes because he sounds like he's struggling as he goes deeper. I'm a baritone and to go to the lower notes you have to be conscious to actually open up your voice more and more as you go lower, not to close it because it will make it sound muffled and it can actually be a bit painful after a while since it sounds raspy...
Just funny to watch hence entertaining.
the lowest note was an F2, now hit low C!!
True basses are pretty rare. This guy sounds like a high baritone to me. Not that he couldn't improve low tones, nor high ones for that matter. There are bass baritones that have stunning high C's and D's. They aren't tenors. People just figure it out.
I'm a tenor with a lowest chest of Eb2, on mornings? C2. yes yes I have a trained voice but still.
Will Meyer Well from my experience it is harder to develop your lower register than your higher ones - consistency can be achieved with the latter through training, but low notes are often dependent on one's physiology.
Timliu92 Seriously tho, tell me, how do I develop my low notes? because I literally have no idea....
Dead Channel - th-cam.com/video/XOcyMDzSryw/w-d-xo.html best explanation i've seen so far.. first is getting the note by the means in which you are capable.. meaning if you have to use fry, use fry .. second is placement - getting the low note into the 'mask'..
Yes I agree. He sounds like a higher baritone (maybe even a chance of being a lower tenor in fact).
Start chanting five times a day, that's pulling it down as far as you can.
Pulling it down hahaha , classic ,this never gets .
He's a bass? Then I am a contra-contrabass. A1-A#5 (including falsetto)
right!?!?
F#0-B5 Ingressive phonation up to falsetto
Actualy this guy have more a tenor range,a baritone can go lower than that and we can hear a deeper voice, in this case we hear a high range voice trying to fake his range
...right...
