His normal voice isn't that deep. His lower notes are all a mix of fry and chest. I heard, that he trained this ability for many years because it's not easy. The problem with this chest-fry technique is, that it's hard to do it live on stage, because your vocal cords have to be completely relaxed
@@fettmunk8865 he's not using much vocal fry, he's using mostly subharmonics and growling. Vocal fry suspends air movement and you can plainly hear he's moving a ton of air when he's singing low.
@@crustybass75 It is already confirmed, that he used a mix of chest and fry. I actually use the same technique and I'm working on it to sound as good as Paul David's. A youtuber called Tomi p explained the technique, look for a video called" Bass technique's" on Tomi p's channel
@@Slamthulhu Yeah his talking voice as he got older. I remember growing up around him my entire life He used to have a really deep voice.

@@John34. what you're saying is 100% true. The "no-singing" game actually causes you to lose that cut sound. I still believe if he went back on a stage he could nail the heck out of a F1 if he wanted.
Chest voice in the first octave has colour but sounds Metallic....like too resonant, at least in my case, I'm a basso cantante. 25yo low experience. Still learning how to use my voice. My speaking voice is a E2
I believe he has a wider vocal range, since in gospel music, you rarely hear basses switch to their falsetto notes. So, with that in mind, he must have at least one more octave to his range that is falsetto/head voice.
You've gotta love Paul's E4 at the end. He does more higher range background harmonies throughout the later Valor albums (Pre-Release especially). Plus, Paul's highest note is G4 ("I Still Do" harmony vocal)
Well in the Valor's interview (uploaded from philalemusic). John says that Paul have 5 and a half octave range. So if his lowest note is C0, that means his highest is around F5. The Pre-release album is actually their first album as a group.
@@Мирич-з4е Yeah I watched that interview and John also said that the 2001 Valor album was already out and that fans were waiting for another release which is when he mentioned the Pre-Release album. That album came after the 2001 album and it makes sense since Daniel Johnson joined the group after that album was already out. The original album featured a quartet of Paul and John (bass and baritone) and Steve Reischl at lead with an unidentified tenor on most of the tracks and Ron Rice on two songs. On later albums (esp their last one), they became more of a vocal group
@@daryltracy7949 Yes, but as far as I know some of the songs on the Pre-release album were recorded before the release of their 2001 album called "Valor", and after that it was released. And later they recorded the rest of the Pre-release and it was mixed and mastered later.
I read somewhere that he trained his chest range down to around G#1 apparently as he only had a chest B1 before I think (though he did fry above that too). Everything below is chest fried of fried
None of his low notes are chest, he’s actually a baritone, he has lovely technique that sounds quite credible, and its even better since he has a higher range available to him
@@hypercubemaster2729 Have you heard him speak? He is clearly a baritone. His lowest chest is a B1 and everything below that is chest fried or fried. He does not have the timbre of a true bass.

What is it with you guys always putting a baritone classification on somebody just because of timbre? Timbre is not the be all end all. He is not a baritone.

Where can i meet this guy??? i sing bass but before Paul i could just be doing soprano1, how can i go this low, i must sing bass in the heavenly choir alongside Paul....
He retired from professional singing back in 2010. Now he is in the film industry he is a director and producer. He made commercials for Coca-Cola and Pepsi and he worked for Disney Channel and Warner Bros as a director. :)
My only problem with these extreme notes is that there is no timbre. So there is some other technique than natural singing to create this sound. This is not a natural singing voice since there is no timbre, no overtones to create a nice sound. Both falsetto and vocal fry, whether in the chest or not does not have overtones or as many. So what is the technique to sing like this?
Or you can look up "how low is a C0?" I ran into it trying to look up how low a C-6 is but it didn't work, it only went down to C0. You can literally just pull up a second tab and type "how low can a human hear" (another suggestion). The lowest IS an E0 (20hz) but some can hear down to C0 (15hz)
WHAT?! How did I missed that?! It is a G#0! The problem is that I found so many good sounding notes after I uploaded the video. And now I can't do anything about it.
Paul's voice is not so serious naturally, so you need to treat it with equalizers. This C0 is purely fry, with technique, and of course, with the help of equalizers. ♪
Avi is a Bass-Baritone of course he is not the king of bass. Actually for me Kurt Mill was the king of bass, nowadays...meh, most of them rely too much on technology I like how this Aluisio Junior dude sings.

What's the song at 15:50? I've heard it in every vocal range video but I can't find it on youtube.
The song is "Lead Me To The Rock (Reprise Version)". It's from Valor's "What it took" album, which is on UA-cam. :)
Мирич i don't see on UA-cam, you have the link?
dang he goes deeper than Tim Foust, Geoff Castellucci, and Avi Kaplan
well they both have 5 octaves. so it really depends
@homie anonymous lol Tim has a wider range than him but Paul still goes lower (Tim's lowest is F#0 and Paul's lowest is C0)
@homie anonymous it's literally in the video. Although it is brief it's still a C0 (brief as in like three seconds)
@homie anonymous it is a C0. It's literally a C0-C1 "slide"
Avi doesn’t go that deep
If you've seen Valor's pre-released song I still do, Paul has been hitting a lot of C4s, D4s and E4s.
G4s in backing harmonies too.
