    As someone who's been doing false chord screams for almost 8 years now, this was simultaneously super easy and super hard. It's very weird to explain, but although I understand the logic, just by pure muscle memory I'm turning it into a growl.

  • @maloxi1472
    @maloxi1472 2 роки тому +156

    I wonder why no one pointed that out but your first example in the beginning actually sounds like a very impressive 2nd subharmonic.
    It sounds like you start from an A#2 but instead of dropping to an A#1 (half the frequency, where the 1st sub would be), you drop to a D#1 (1/3 the frequency); which is where the 2nd sub would be. A dead giveaway that it's probably a 2nd sub is the amount of resonance you manage to carry even to such a low note. Very cool 👍🏼

    • @ZigZagProductionStudio
      @ZigZagProductionStudio  2 роки тому +36

      Never noticed that actually! I was just recording random subharmonics for the beginning and didn't think much of it - I'll have to work more on 2nd subharmonics, then maybe post a video on how to achieve them (if I get good enough)

    this video finally made me realize that it wasn't just that I was unable to hit the vocal fry subharmonics like I see so many people do, it's that my natural register and vocal chord shape doesn't allow for it, the years I trained with chest base (for bbx) and then onto 3rd subharmonic chest base left me with a very smooth, thick, open and airy natural register, which is the complete opposite of what you want for a vocal fry, and even though I can reach a B0 and am still pushing it further, I don't have to sit and doubt myself hurting my vocal chords trying to force it to vibrate in a way it just isn't built to do, awesome video!

    I still have a lot of trouble with useable subharmonics. I am not in vocal fry until around E1, whereas, most men are by about F2. Even now, I have a dead spot with subharmonics; my chest voice starts to weaken around G1 and ends at F1 (E1 on a good day), but to get a sub to crack at E1-G1 is very difficult for me. Now, if you want me to do a sub at C#1 down to F0, no problem... where they aren't very useful for everyday singing, lol.

    I can’t tell if I’m doing subs or just very resonant vocal fry. I’ve heard it described as singing the note the octave above constantly but I don’t feel that.

    How do I do this without going into my throat singing skills

  • @pawnix4122
    @pawnix4122 10 місяців тому

    I am following in my fathers footsteps. He is a high base and low baritone and can do a low A from what he has told me. In saying this, I wanted to learn to sing base or at least low baritone.
    Please forgive me if I am wrong in the naming of things, but I believe the lowest chest-note I can take that isn't completely inaudible is an E#2. I can't go lower than the second octave. The absolute lowest I can currently do without practicing, on rare occasions, is an F#1, but that is basically just rumbling in my throat which hurts after a few minutes and dries my throat out.
    How do I know what is a chest-note and what is a subharmonic? Is the rumbling in my throat subharmonic or is that just me being weird?

    Using ee-ee-ee seems odd to me considering the ee sound requires an almost closed throat to be emitted. A (or o) would probably be a better choice.

    So, it's sub harmonic base. Got it!

    Thank you so much for this! I think I heard it for a split second, but it felt like it was REALLY quiet. I feel like any time I go into vocal fry it’s too quiet to be heard. Is this normal? Granted, my natural voice is more of a tenor, so it may not be in the cards for me anyway, lol

I’d always chalked it up to my low notes being “shaky,” but your video showed me what to look for and how to draw it out. I can actually hear it now! Thank you!

    I'm not sure if what I'm doing is subharmonics or vocal fry but randomly when a sing a note like for say F3 it will flip an octave lower to a F2. It sounds loud and strong. If i push a little harder and put more air into it it flips down to an F1 for a second then back to F2. Is this the start of subharmonics?
