By way of analogy: A dark sound supports the note firmly from below and is both mellow and full like a cello, a barritone horn, bass clarinet and notably the Horn in F outside its top octave when it starts sounding more of a trumpet. The tone is said to feel hallow in the middle due to the subdued resonation of the sound creating a full firm but mellow sound. A bright sound is everything else that is polar opposite of a dark sound.
What you said about stretching the lips horizontally for brighter sounds and vertically for darker sounds is super interesting in terms of sound design. I tried that while singing a middle C and using an EQ to analyze the effect, and holy gosh does it make a difference! With the dark sound everything past the 1K frequencies just gets SQUISHED.
super interesting, right? You can download free spectrogram apps and sing into them, and they'll show you all the different frequencies that come out on each vowel. Each vowel boosts certain "formants," or frequency bands, which have a lot to do with why they sound bright or dark, etc.
whenver i go karaoke with my family they always tell me my voice sound "drunk" i think it's a metaphor to my dark tone my voice isn't so enough honestly it's only b2-g4 and that's it
Wow this is really helpful for understanding sounds from instruments as well. I was looking this up to understand it better in different violins. Also one of my carbon fiber bows makes a particular nasal sound that my teacher pointed out. I guess the solution for that wouldn’t be to touch or hold my nose though ☺️ thanks again for the great video!
Best choir teacher!! She's my choir teacher at my highschool, love having her as a teacher! ❤
You're so lucky!!! Tell her to post a video with your choir singing ;))

This is awesome - thanks for including this!

I was not clear on the concepts until now… thanks so much.
Thank you, you are a life savior. Finally I know what warm sound is.
So glad it helped!
This is a wonderful explanation. Thank you!
Interesting, thank you
thanks for watching!
Great explanation, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is cool. We use similar descriptors in my field of work when talking about wave qualities
So glad you added the brilliant Florence Foster Jenkins to the extreme end of the Classical brightness scale.
thank you so much for noticing that little Easter egg. I definitely got a kick out of making that.
@@MikaylaFeldman 😆
It's also based very much off culture and social ideas.
my choir ta told me i had a dark tone to my singing and i never knew what that meant, so thank you for the explanation! :)
So glad I could help clear that up!

Is there a physicist on the plane?
You have a bright speaking tone ;)
That's impart to how english is spoken with the american accent, whereas someone with a posh british accent might sound darker in comparison
Was Layne Stacey "nasal"?
Tend to avoid Nasal sound lol.
Disturbed, David Draiman has entered the chat LOL
