Awesome video - that's pretty much it. The sweet spot dial analogy was great. My go-to subharmonic note is usually A1 or Ab1 with Db2 being the higher end and F1 being the lower in terms of consistency. One note about what the vocal fry is doing when combining it with your normal sung note. The octave is realized because the fry interacts with the normal note at precise intervals, affecting the sound wave. So, singing an A2 (110 Hz) with a vocal fry note that interacts with that sung note creates the perceived lower octave. The vocal fry cuts in at around E3 (164.81 Hz); it essentially "distorts" the wave by physically affecting the note at certain intervals. For every 2 cycles, the vocal fry has 3 cycles that interacts with it - some refer to it as the 3:2 ratio - 164.81:110 - you will note that in that ratio, 55 Hz is the base (haha, bass) which is actually A1. Those points of interaction mimic a 55Hz frequency with pretty much all the same overtones as it, causing our brains to assume that it is indeed an A1. If you work with combination tones (organists do this quite often), you will find that playing an A2 and an E3 together creates an A1 so long as it is combined - if it is off by even a few inches, the waves will interact differently and it becomes harder to realize the lower octave. This is also why vibrato with subharmonics is difficult because the pitch is oscillating at a certain rate where as the vocal fry must also keep up with the correct intervals, otherwise it will "pop-up" the octave. Not because you didn't do it correctly, but simply because the fry interacted incorrectly with the normal note. Your vibrato rate must not be manufactured - it needs to be streamlined into your full voice AND your vocal fry (woot, good luck lol). One difference as well when comparing full voice, vocal fry, and subharmonics, is the perfect fifth interval (the E3 that comes through with greater intensity than the other notes). The perfect fifth (E3) is stronger with the subharmonic singing than if you were to sing it in full voice or even vocal fry. The A2 is also stronger. The A1 with subharmonics, however, doesn't show as well on a spectrograph even though it is present. Keep up the good work! - Thou (Pronouncing it "Thou" as in "Thou shalt not" is fine. It is actually pronounced "2" - hence Bass "2" Yang is actually my voice part and my name altogether. Combination tones = combination name. Choir life, right?)

@@koltenkirk7408 It sounds like what is happening is that you may be using too much breath pressure (or maybe even vocal compression, which is essentially pressing/squeezing the vocal folds too hard to make a sound). Keep a neutral larynx and try humming for a bit (closed mouth while maintaining an open vowel such as "ah" or "oh"). Lip trills and tongue rolls will help loosen up the voice. A high larynx will sharp the sound as well. In some cases, it actually feels sharp (if I hear a G2, trying to tune it at a G1 actually makes my Sub-G1 sharp.) I always tune the G2 with the D2 and G3 notes instead of trying to feel or hear a G1. Lower notes tend to sharp or feel sharp the quicker the air moves (like tuning the C2 cello string - playing it slow feels flat and playing it accented/with more speed makes it feel sharp). Remember your air speed/breath pressure is just as important as setting up your vocal mechanism properly to prepare for the note (audition - realize and hear/feel the note, breath, sing). Hope this helps!

Bass2Yang I also would like to know if it’s possible to switch notes within the register like with chest voice. I can’t seem to do it as I have to come out of it and then go back in on the other note. I haven’t been able to find anything on that yet I’ve seen people who have sung subharmonics singing many notes without stopping to switch notes. They simply sing the next note as if it was in chest voice.

I taught myself to throat sing by watching KZread videos and driving a ton! The acoustics in a car are great for it! It's truly about throat constriction and getting use to the feeling of the vibration and constriction. At first you'll cough and it will more than likely hurt, but with time it will feel normal and then!!!! Someday you'll be able to carry a tune for several seconds and eventually be able to throat sing for extended periods of time like myself! I've been practicing for perhaps 15 months or so, it's almost second nature for me now. My kids love it and best of all! A goose was chasing me once (if you know geese they're some scary MF's!)

You're probably using kargyraa (Tuvan throat singing). Vocal fry subharmonics are quieter, more gentle, and less likely to damage the voice. Not as powerful, usually, but a little easier on the ears and throat, employing pure vocal fry instead of constricting the larynx. Vocal fry should have a more "flowy" phonation but should be less overtone-rich.

Haaaa finally ! Thank you for the physical explanation ! I am a woman so any other video explaining to imitate a sheep, or to cough wasn’t working for me. Your explanation of the lower octave made me think about using a vocal spectrometer app’ so I could see when the lower octave note appeared on my screen and understand what I really needed to do with my voice. It also helped me to know which note to sing because I can’t go as low as men. It’s working! Yeaaah. Thank you.

Nice video. Very clear. I learned this from the David Larsen videos. I have an alternate explanation for what's happening, though. If you take a tuning fork and touch a piece of paper with it the paper will make the same pitch as the tuning fork. But if you carefully pull the paper just slightly farther away, it will bounce, so that it hits the fork only on every other vibration and makes an octave subharmonic. I think when you gently add fry and find the sweet spot what you are doing is adjusting the adduction of the cords just right so that they bounce like the paper on the tuning fork and only come fully together every other vibration. I think that's why when you hit the sweet spot the lower octave magically appears like some alien living in your chest. I don't think you need to invoke the false cords. My main problem is how to master the transition from normal register to subharmonic since going down a step from regular to subharmonic actually feels like going up a seventh and adding fry.

I like how passionate you are about subharmonic singing. You should learn kargyraa and use it in your channel. It's a different type of subharmonics but it works really well with the types of drones you are trying to go after. It also opens up an incredibly large world of vocal styles. Just like strohbass there isn't much information on it, plus a lot of it is only partially right or just wrong. Alash ensemble has the best video on KZread for beginning.

Thanks for the tutorial~! With synthesizers, it’s always helpful to apply a bit of a low pass filter to smooth out what sound like clicks when you start dealing with notes that low. I think the same can be done with how we shape our vowels with these low notes. By the way, is there any value to being able to smoothly transition from a low note to a subharmonic one? For me, it doesn’t happen smoothly... it just jumps (kind of like what happens with inexperienced singers going into their head/mix voice from their chest voice)

@bass2yang

There is a lot of value and yes, it doesn't happen smoothly. You can smooth out the rough transitions by practicing jumping intervals of 7ths, octaves, and 9ths. I try to do this in some of my videos. Vowels are important - try your best not to change them so much and, like with head/mix, choose a neutral vowel to keep the larynx from doing anything funny. In a choir, it is less noticeable. In a solo piece, you need to be prepared. Even my best attempt at it, there are still transition issues - they are minimized of course. Here is a video demonstration the quick changes, use of vibrato in subharmonic, and preparing for an abrupt change (singing a B Major scale descending from B2 to B1): kzread.info/dash/bejne/qnWEm9lwotu5m6g.html Octave jumps are easy because you just don't move. The scale at the end is technically B2 - A#2 - G#2 - F#2 - E2 - D#2 - C#3(subharmonic C#2) - B2 (subharmonic B2). The transition happens after D#2 which essentially makes it a minor 7th jump up back to C#3 and then immediately applying the vocal fry (dial it in quickly and accurately without changing the vowel), and then descend from there. It's fun, but dangerous. :D - Thou

You’re singing vocal fry. You need to sing in sub-harmonics. Sing an octave above the bass note you want to sing, relax your voice, and you hit that note. For example. When I first started, which is today, I started with an A2. Relax your voice, and you‘ll begin to sing an octave lower which is an A1. The key to holding that note, is to just sing that starter note ALL THE WAY THROUGH, an A2 in this case. Singing and A2 will keep that A1 going. I probably didn’t make sense to you, but other videos tell you exactly what to do. It’s really simple, but is hard to control.

This is the same process I discovered naturally! Thank you for validating me 😁😅 Any tips on how to not hurt your throat or vocal chords? I think I would be able to tell if it started to hurt, but any suggestions would be helpful. I'm just not doing too much in one day just in case, and using honey and drinking lots of water. Do you find that some days you're just not able to do it too? Maybe it's just cuz it's my 3rd day. Anyways, very exciting!!! Thanks for making this video!

By my understanding, anyone can learn the sub-harmonic register; it's all about learning to access and co-ordinate the throat and upper chest and back muscles into an open and stable configuration that allows the vestibular folds to vibrate. The capability is inherent in the geometry of human anatomy, so to speak. It's kind of amazing how simple it is, once you actually feel it in your own body, eh? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_fold

Thank you :)

I’ve never been able to sing that well, but I got this pretty quickly thanks to you! Any suggestions other than repetition for longevity? It’s been a few days but I find myself running out of breath sometimes. Thanks again!

I've been practicing this for quite some years now, and I'm still not sure about how it works. I can sing with this technique pretty well in A1-Db2 range. False chords don't work here though, that is for another thing. Mongolians and some other people use the false chords in combination with normal ones, but that is different. Here you have the process described by Thou Yang here in the comment section. I'm not sure about Myakothin though, he has such a harsh, loud technique... Not sure if he uses this subharmonic register.

I was definitely wrong about the false chords being utilized, I was probably either misinformed from somewhere or I simply mixed it up with monglian styles, Kargyraa and the like - I pinned Thou's comment so that hopefully people can find some corrections there. And yes, Myakotin is certainly a mystery - I believe I read some inside information about his singing in a comment section over on the Oktavism channel claiming he uses a technique called Strohbass for his upper low range and subharmonic register for the very lowest parts, but it certainly is a lot more powerful and loud sounding than I could ever imagine being able to sing with subharmonics myself.

I find that I have two separate registers in my subharmonic singing: i can use the upper one down to about A1, and then I can't get a G out, but I can sometimes sing a pretty nice F1 or F#1, but it feels like a slightly different technique, and I can't use it above on a G, but it sounds a hell lot like myakotin's sound. It is strong and harsh and loud.

BillyTheBard11th Myatokin does this in chest voice, not a subharmonic register.

Legend of Ashitaka in the back :'D

It works 🎉🎉 thanks bro

Watched some Mongolian vids earlier and I couldn't get it from them. Your advise works for me. Thanks!

Very glad to hear that, thanks for watching!

Yeah this technique is like treasure now I can hit F#1 (on a good morning of course, but still I am so awesomely glad)

Just starting to try this and I found it is much easier with higher notes. I can just get it on the higher notes but not yet on the lower ones.

hi! thank you a so much ! you helped me a lot ;)

Glad to hear I could help! :)

It's a bit difficult but I'm getting the hang of it!

Question, I have ventricular fold phonation. Does that help?

Thankyou for the help 😌👌💝🥓

I can do it, but I can't seem to apply it to my vocals like I see the bass from voiceplay able to. I keep practicing in Hope's but it always sounds worse than if I were to force the low note

I call this fry-singing (vocal-fry + voice). It's like light version of Throat singing (Kargyraa: Mongolian, Tuvan, Tibetan...)

Ye it is lighter which makes it lower :D

my neighbors must be confused right now.

I had no idea that simply producing a different sound can turn it an octave lower just like that

Same! It's weird how it works haha

I think I kinda can do it, but there are some notes that I can't project at all. Lower notes are harder, I guess this makes sense, but it's frustrating to not hear them as well.

Omg I got so low! Thank you!

Sweet spot
