@@Marcell0Bass I think you are right when you say only profundos should sing this, what I'm talking about is that, OK, this is a basso profundo, but for me is not sounding good as it should be, have you heard mardones? Or Neri? It's nice when he hear a true profundo but it's much better when the profundo has the technique
@@enocjordanabi4207 I think Glenn's much heavier than either of those two... Mardones even transposed his "Possenti Numi" (Isis und osiris) a step higher, while Glenn added a C1 which sounded even louder than all the other notes. It's not comparable. I'd say Glenn is a considerably lower and heavier voice, and he has even better technique. I'll grant you that his vibrato maybe could be more musical, but that's the only thing you could criticize. Maybe it's impossible to do it any other way with such a large voice. I'm pretty sure neither Neri nor Mardones could even touch a Bb1 with chest voice, let alone sing it so loud and strong.
This is incredible. Every time he sings this theme he makes it more impressive. I have listened to many basso profundo, but I could never hear such extreme notes without a microphone, with the power to shake such large spaces. I still think that it is by far the best.
That's right. Very few guys are basses. Basso profundos and oktavists are the rarest basses. There are also lots of guys who think they're basses but they're actually deep baritones. Basses have a heavier fuller timbre than baritones.
Everyone has a secret longing and when I grew to a man How I wanted to be a bass and sing as basses can Heavy notes, deep I would sing them all the while But no such tones are meant for me I must sing "The so light Ahhhh" For my voice stayed high Such resonance is out of place
Okay, someone make a countermelody for this in the part of a countertenor or a tenor lamenting as well. Or even better yet, add a third line with the baritone being stuck hilariously in the middle.
Slavic men have the most singers with voices like these, and it just wasnt meant for japanese people, but im sure you guys have lots of other beautiful things in japan 😁
Oktavist is a choral role not a voice type. It's usually sung by profundos (they are the lowest voice type), but oktavist cannot be considered a voice type because it is also commonly sung using extensions of the voice such as fry (Jason Thoms, Tuukka Haapaniemi) or subharmonics (Thou Yang). So yes, he is a Basso Profundo
@@DubiousDubs the reason why they use subharmonics or fry is because they can't go that low in modal voice, but a true oktavist is able to hit and project first octave notes in chest voice with no problem, filling the room with a bass sound, maybe yes oktavist is not a voice type but for me the oktavist is a step below the Basso profundo, from what i've seen
@@DubiousDubs and about subharmonics and fry you will rarely find (if never) some guys in a choir going in the first octave with a filling bass sound all over the room
@Mario Leb I mean- is that not obvious? I feel like it was implied pretty heavily that I was saying that the oktavist role is often sung by people who don't have it in modal (or at least not with enough power. Why else would you use techniques? Also I find it disingenuous to label the ones using extensions as not true oktavists. They perform the role just as well, and it arguably takes more skill for them to do it than a profundo, because they're singing in a less familiar register AND have to effectively blend the different timbre of that register to the choir.
@Mario Leb and no, oktavist is not a step down from basso profundo, it's just that the scenarios in which they perform are different It takes more power to be heard in an opera than in a choir (this is due to harmonic lock- being perfectly in tune makes harmonics from different singers sort of "boost" the sound of the bass. Really cool psychoacoustics phenomenon). Because of this phenomenon, a profundo who would usually never venture below low C in opera, is able to perform much lower in a choir, and that's where we say it's an oktavist role. By the way, this view is shared by Thou Yang, Glenn Miller, and Eric Holloway just to name a few. Oktavist= choral profundo, or dude with really good low extensions like fry.
Definitely NOT Basso Profundo! Great voice nonetheless, but Vladimir Pasjukov and Ivan Rebroff show that this is a good baritone, upper b@ss rendition.
@@eka8520 it's just they always make that weird facial expression and that same sounding tone like thurl ravenscroft... Idk why but it just annoys me for some reason
I think the short answer to your question is Glenn sings in his modal voice, or speaking voice. Geoff is using extended technique which isn't necessarily better or worse but producing such low notes with modal voice can be physically taxing and so I think a lot of low voices might look funny singing because they need to shape their faces in different ways to project well. But then again so do opera singers. Hope this helps.
@@Z3SC If you listen to the American, Jerome Hines:The Trumpet Shall Sound-Handel. Vladimir Pavlovich Pasjukov:or Andre Kurilov: The Twelve Brigands, or Evening Bells by Ivan Rebroff, you will hear how a Basso Profundo sounds like!
Finally some one doing this right! Leave it to Glenn to smash it out of the park.
Maybe because he is a basso profundo
What do you mean by right? 🤔
Enoc Jordan Abi a lot of non basso profundos singing this song on TH-cam and it not sounding good

Glenn Miller is a legend. I could listen to him sing all day long.
Glenn's movements when he's singing makes him look like a happy little bass kid.
😅 I would be this happy if I had a voice like that when I was 14
@@towerofresonance4877 he did have a voice like that when he was 14
I was just thinking that. Of course, if I had that voice, I would be doing a happy dance all over the place.

Zlatopolsky...listen him too
@@feodor6445 yup, in my opinion zlatopolsky is THE BEST of all time
@Hellcat Bass 🙄🤦♂️🤣🤣😂👎💩Opera basses can’t do this you dolt.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Glenn is an unusual talent here in America. In Russia, however, voices like his are a dime a dozen.
Stunning. Such power and resonance through such a large range is exceptionally rare.
How can you have such great vibrato with such a deep voice so talented
Not talent. Hard work
@@Robin-ij6ks and luck
@Finnegan Bass I never thought of it like that
I wish this became mainstream somehow
There’s no way. This is actual talent. Don’t you know that shock factor is what is main stream now? 💔
As a Basso Profundo myself, I'm impressed to hear such a clear, resonant Bb1 at 2:55. Pitch tells me this tune is in Eb. What a talented man.
sounds like a tenor innit
What a treat! Thank you!
superbe voix !!! BRAVO
Nailed it
Everyone has a secret longing
and when I grew to a man
How I wanted to be a bass
and sing as basses can
Heavy notes, deep
I would sing them all the while
But no such tones are meant for me
I must sing "The so light Ahhhh"
For my voice stayed high
Such resonance is out of place
Down went my voice not the deepest of tones. Now when I sing I must baritone for a basso profundo aaaaaaaaammmm nooooooootttttt.
Ha ha! When I was young I actually wanted to be a bass/baritone like Howard Keel. Instead I'm a tenor like Mario Lanza.
Splendid. Just one question, which note does He hit at 2:55??. Thanks.
Contra Bb. ( Bb1)
Bb1
Bb1
How the crap does his C4 sound BARELY louder than his Bb1?
Okay, someone make a countermelody for this in the part of a countertenor or a tenor lamenting as well.
Or even better yet, add a third line with the baritone being stuck hilariously in the middle.
I love listening to a true bass. Fun song! Who composed this?
Послушайте Михайлова М.Д.Вот это сила !!!
This is what a real bass singer sounds like. There is not one in Japan.

I'm sure there are but they aren't musicians. Probably policemen or construction workers.
Utterly profound.

No, he is not a basso profundo, he is an oktavist, he is hitting that Bb1 without microphone broo

@@kn3236 Thats how they make the note project, every oktavist/profundo who can project does that, it helps the notes be louder/more resonant
