I've been practicing subharmonics for a few weeks now and I'm still very inconsistent at doing them. Sometimes I'm able to consistently hit around an F1 but at other times I can't even get the vocal fry going. I think as you mentioned in the video, drinking or eating before attempting to do subharmonics makes them much more difficult to execute. Good, easy to understand video though, nice work!
The falsetto technique is the best,is very easy to hit them! I did a B1 so easy with this! The subharmonics are amazing! I actually can hit very low notes (like a B1 or something) that are louder than my chest notes (E2,my lowest chest note that doesn't sound very loud unfortunately). Tysm for this! Also it was funny too!
Great video with tips I haven‘t heard anybody talk about before. I already knew basically all of these because I‘ve been trying subs for about 10 months, but I think these tips will be helpful to beginners.
I recently had some pretty serious throat damage from an intubation mishap during a surgery, and have lost some high notes and voice quality (not only in singing but in speaking) despite having vocal rehab therapy after. But good gracious, it feels like the subharmonics are easier than I expected. Maybe it’s something about the specific damage. I am a female, though, so it won’t necessarily help me in anything I might be wanting to do, but it has been fun going down the rabbit hole! Great video! It really helped to visualize what I was trying to make happen.
A tip/hint for any beginners 1st start with vocal fry, to know how the vibration/pops might feel it Once you can hum with vocal fry Relax you throat n try to make the vibrate/pops at the back of your throat n not exactly down your throat. The sub-harmonic pop/vibrate feels like when when you have a bubble in your throat n it pops. And not like a pinched balloon neck. Also hum the vowels A,E,I,O,U (E,O,U) works best for me. And yeah don't lower your pitch/key. My personal experience I 1st caught the sub-harmonic when humming the E Specifically when we say or hum E, the sound comes more from the front of your mouth And when we say O, its more at the back of the mouth So while humming E try to move the sound back where the O comes from (remember it's not changing high to low pitch).
Great video!! Also love that you see Bill Gaither as a bass singer, cause many people put down his bass singing. Also could you do more bass stuff. Cause you're awesome!!
I just started doing these and, as someone with years of a capella bass experience who has poured a lot of time and energy into extending my range downward, this feels like fucking cheating. Fuck.
@@Alpheamus To be honest extending low range is very very hard and I don't think you can get more than 2 notes. The best way to get a better low range is to get old or use special techniques.
Okay, you should have said drinking was banned while watching this video because I almost ruined my keyboard. hahahaha, you are hilarious. I am not a bass singer yet I am subscribing for the editing and the humor 😂😂😂
I've been practicing a little while now. Lowest chest note on any random occasion is D2, with fry it's somewhere around A0 and I'm working on exploring my lowest subharmonic note. But i'm not very good at the subharmonnics themselves, is it normal for them to start off sounding a lot like fry but better as you continue to practice?
I dont want to do first octave singing i just wanna do a c2 and d2 is it possible to do a subharmonics that high or are they only in the first octave and lower ive never done this before but some feedback would be appreciated thanks
Yeah but how do i actually sing in it? How can i make like a riff with it or maybe switch between registers easily without cracking or sounding cringe?
Practice. Theres no magical way to start singing subharmonics. It will sound terrible, no matter how you go about practicing and training your voice and control. After you get used to singing subharmonics, your range expands and register changes get faster and easier! Have fun!
Isn't it dangerous to advise people to practice vocals in a somewhat dehydrated state? I was told that frequent true chord phonation with dried out vocal chords can accumulate vocal damage.

The editing in this video was awesome and really funny as well as informative, and that falsetto trick is a new one I’ve never heard before

Thanks so much :D I appreciate the feedback! Just keep on practicing!
The boogie man note is literally exactly what I have been wanting to hit
Yoooooo, my lowest "normal" note is a D3, I tried this on a C4 and I reached a C#3!!! Thank you very much!

Thanks so much! Yes Bill Gaither is a very underrated bass singer! And yes, more bass videos coming soon! :D
I have to thank you. You made me sing a G1
That is awesome!
Man, a very very good tutorial and a really funny video editing. Thumbs up +10
Thanks a ton!

any tips on extending your range downward?

0:30 welp looks like I'm done with trying 😍😍
Because of this I can sing an F1 normally and an E1-C#1 on good days

Really appreciate it !!!
This is never gonna be my thing but omg this video was great!! XD
Been doing subs for 8 months. Its fun especially 2nd subs
2nd subharmonics are way funnier than normal subharmonic, even more because just few people use it as a good sing technique.
@@emanuelr.desousa6878 I agree, there is really no use for it during performances but it's fun.
Great advertisement 😂😂😂 the intro tho
Um. More please. This was a great vid!

TYSM:))) me when i you follow the steps
nice editing
Thanks

Go to r/basssinging on reddit for feedback. Also, you can absolutely sing subharmonics in the second octave.
BEANSSS WHAT THE FUCK
Yeah but how do i actually sing in it? How can i make like a riff with it or maybe switch between registers easily without cracking or sounding cringe?

omg what song was that first clip from, those notes were amazing
Oogie Boogie song by Voiceplay :)
Thank you so much! Managed to hit F1
Is it supposed to sound like the back of my throat is vibrating
I just want to say B E A N S WTF
Nice Video, BUT the example at the beginning is not a sumharmonic Note. That‘s a Growlnote.
But....Good Video.
It actually is a subharmonic! (The E1 by Geoff)
@@ainzooalgown119
As far as I know it's a growl note... And I can hit this note with the growl technice.
But ok... It's awesome and thats important
@@justmusic3995 its a subharmonic
The editing and the way the video is paced is really funny, and this was very helpful. Thanks boss 🫡
Glad you liked it!

I can do a B0 using subharmonics. 31 Hz!!! Earthquake...
this is funny
Hahaha
useless
how come?
