@rafortnite 777 Hmm.. I kinda feel like its easier after you understands the technique, but it's difficult upon hearing it the first time. As an example, the first time I heard or even know of this technique was after I saw Voiceplay's OOGIE BOOGIE song, and yes it was Geoff's last note. I was so amazed and tried to do it before watching both the tutorial from Geoff and David Larson's. Couldn't find it within the first 2 days. So I started looking for videos that explains the technique, and stumbled upon both of their videos. I understands the technique because Geoff mentioned a horror movie that uses this technique (I believe it was the Grudge ?) and begin to start from there. Eventually I found my register and now I feel so much easier to do it again and again without any "warm-ups". And yes, I believe Geoff can still go a little bit lower than Sub E1.

@colefountain1030

This probably sounds cheesy but "watching these helped me significantly increase my range". I've always tried frying to get higher or hide my breaks up there (I also always wanted to be a tenor) and never thought to fry to go lower. I never thought I'd be able to get into the 1's before. You explained it perfectly for my brain to wrap around it too.

I do understand what you mean at the Baritone with Base area. I had this kind of issue myself. For a long time I wanted to sing high notes to get certain arias that I loved but I always considered myself to have low voice so practiced as alto. I called myself that but in the end with the help of my teacher I realized that I do have the high notes and she started couching me for mezzo but then someone called me an actual soprano...so...yup. I feel this idea that you start off as something and end up to get something else. Also I do get that your area of comfort (aka your tessitura) is to the baritone notes but it is indeed great that you can handle your base and your tenor the same well. As I said I too have my area of comfort to the low notes and a little bit to the high ones (the middles are my nightmare for some reason! It is my "passage" as me and my teacher call it) so yeah it happens a lot from what I hear that even if someone sings a lot a certain voice range, their area of comfort might differ a bit. In operatic singing is not preferable of course but even then I have heard it happen some times. I always believe that range isn't everything and I would always consider a 2.5 to 3 octave range a good range but I always admire people who not only do have the natural range but have the technique to support it. Many of your advice indeed apply for both high and low notes, for instance the relaxed body and the low larynx. We try to do that every day in our training (and of course practice! DUh! XD) Keep up your great work and we surely appreciate any creation you and the guys have to show us!

Every time Geoff does the last note for oogie boogie his hair grows 2 inches

Better singing is the way. I used to sing four part harmony (barbershop society) and we always sang what sounded clean and in the pitch that fits your voice instead of going for volume. We let the natural sound expansion do the work for us. We also made sure we were singing for our audience not ourselves. If that makes sense. We saved all our vocal gymnastics for rehearsals.

When I talk to cute animals, I find myself in a soprano tone with ease. I can do a few whistle notes when i build up to it and have warmed up. But my normal speaking voice is upper-alto. Geoff definitely has more of a baritone speaking voice, but he's obviously had experience enough with singing bass, he can slide into those notes without any audible strain. So my personal tip for any of you, male or female, who want to have a large range- practice, practice, practice. Tips that Geoff didn't mention: warm up for singing in the shower or bath actually does help because the steam will open your vocal chords and relax your muscles. If you can't have water, drink smooth teas and avoid dairy products until after your practices. Obviously don't smoke. Practice self-care with all of your body, not just your pipes. Don't be afraid to experiment, but relax when you do. Working on self-confidence will also help. Singing can be the best thing in the world if you work at it enough. Most of all, enjoy yourself!

Not really his speaking voice is not baritonal. True baritones speak much higher than he does. Listen to true baritones in interviews youll know what I mean.

your voice is so so so awesome just when you are speaking, so low, so amazing!

You're awesome dude! Few people are blessed with the ability you have and that deep rolling thunder bass just gives the sound so much more depth and feel. I'm nothing but a frustrated church singer but folks just don't get how music works. You guys do. Happy I found y'all!

I love that he says he is not a natural bass when he literally just hit a A1 with ease.

For some reason at 2:08 its satisfying to hear him slide up to the E2 for a split second to do subharmonics on E1

Thanks Geoff Just became a big fan watching Ghost riders I have listened to other singers I vote your version In my mind is the best. It moves my spirit

Hey, Geoff! You (and maybe Layne, as well!) should make a video about how you make your arrangements for Voiceplay and your own tools and methods for arranging music for a capella performances! I sing with an all guys a capella group at my university and have written a few arrangements, but would love to learn from some of the best out there!

Most comfortable in 2nd and 3rd octave. Same here with me. I have a 5 octave range -G#0 to B5 with subharmonics. Not many of us out here with natural bass-baritone voices. Thanks for your time on the video.

What do you think about Matt Sallee from Pentatonix?

Voiceplay are huge fans of Matt and think highly of him. And the best thing is that they dont mention Avi's name whenever they talk about Matt, unlike some of the others have here.

Geoff: “I’m not a bass” *Can, can you not...? :(*

I love how open you are about your techniques and struggles. There isn't a lot out there just for bass voices, and it makes me feel in good company to know that even the best miss notes here and there. I also struggle with landing those subharmonic notes, and I just assumed you had them down perfectly. I'm inspired to practice more.

I love the editing, so funny!

I'm watching this the night before my performance of 16 tons in front of half the school! I'm singing it one whole note up on mic! Thank you so much Geoff, I hope that the light trauma I've induced will work 😭!

David Larson was such a help with subharmonics when I first started attempting it, and it's nice to see that you learned from him too. Thanks for the tips Geoffypiebaby

Please Geoff, keep on doing these videos because they are really helpful for me

I love the fact that your are so honest.

You are my Favorite nember voiceplay

Oh, and these videos are just delightful, they make me laugh, smile, and almost miss my choir days! And extremely interesting as well. Thanks for doing them! **Oh,** and I have a question, albeit a rather random one...what do you think of Josh Groban? He's my favorite solo singer and I am just curious on another amazing singer's view of him.

You're brilliant, Geoff! I love listening to you!

I just watched this video, and I am so happy to see that you are willing to help people with their voice and singing. Please always stay as honest and caring as you are. It is so nice to see that you care so much. Thank you for being you!

Great!!! Just super!! Without too much high self-esteem!! This is what a true musician is!!

I stumbled across David Larson's subharmonics video about 2 years ago! I'm amazed to see that you learned the technique from him as well, and I aspire to be as practiced and refined as you someday. It's really cool seeing you behind the scenes, Geoff. Would love to make it out to a show once the Ronies go away.

I have naturally a really low voice but I still am 15 years old so my voice is more “changeable” and while practicing with time I noticed that I’d do a lot of high notes like G5, G#5 and G#6 (that is what I usually hit) it gets harder to make low notes. I could hit C1 and Even lower, then I struggled to hit lower notes than G2 and, if I spend like a whole week only talking and singing with a lower register my voice “changes” again and I am able to hit lower notes again! I am starting to reach both high and low notes a lot effortlessly than before, I guess that’s because of my practice.

Your voice has to rest. It's not easy to go from frequent high to low. Good news for you though, doing it a lot can condition you and make it easier. Also if you are 15 your voice has not set yet. You might even be 16 now. I am also 16, and though I can sing some lower notes still sound inherently like a kid. Give it 2-3 more years. Once your voice sets things should be better. For both of us.

I’m bass man and hitting notes just gets harder with time. So I’ll try to master what I’m naturally good at. I think that’s the idea

I have to say you never cease to amaze me! I just recently discovered you and Voiceplay and I’m smitten! The work that your and the others put into your work is outstanding and it has been a bright spot in my life! Thank you for all you do! ❤🎶🎼

Thanks for sharing you technics and good advice. Enjoy every session. And practicing a lot.

I love these videos so much please don’t stop making them

Yo Geoff, i am so thankful for these videos, there's not a lot of videos about bass on the internet, and these are not only so helpful but i love the editing. 😂😂 also a side note, keep going, you are doing awesome!! :)

Yaaaaas!!!! Good for you! Such good advice!! Right on!!!

You r incredible! just LOVE our voice, both high and low ❤

@@redux1012 bass-baritones can do that as well. You have to understand that off-mic his lower notes are not nearly as loud as we think. His timbre actually fits better in that more lower baritone section that anywhere else. It’s very bright, and forward, and as someone who studies opera I can tell you that most basses are anything but.

Thank you Geoff for these videos. I appreciate your talent and your advice. I love your music videos as well.

My son and I love listening to different vocal ranges. You are definitely our favorite!

We all love you Geoff

*in the deepest voice I've heard in my life* "I wouldn't consider myself a true base"

I had a problem to identify my own range for years. Thanks. I just have. What you're saying resonates with me. I thought I'm bass but I feel more comfortable singing bit higher notes plus all of that variation of higher octaves. Great watch and amazing, strong, young and vibrant tone of your voice.

Thank you Geoff, now I dare to sing more and more. Your voice is a good example for me, I thought I had lost my voice. After 40 years of shameful mumbling I know that I'm a baritone/bass. And btw great walking stick! I had a few accidents that is why I need sometimes a walking stick .
