This is my favorite world record ever,just loving it.I have just ventured into overtone efforts myself and as an astmatic i am pretty happy at hitting around 30 seconds myself,so i guess i am somewhere around the old record.This fellow gives me good vibes,thanks geez for moving me in a positive way in this crazy world.
Isn't it possible to edit the video description after the fact? Simply edit the title to include the years, edit the description to include some more info and maybe some trivia, and done.
Usually when people who are not great vocalists try to hold long notes it's quite monotone but this was very pleasant to listen to (Polyphonic/Overtone vocals) 😍
The note he is singing is one note. When he changes his lips and inner mouth, he is producing different 'Overtones' which are harmonic in nature. Overtone singing is used in many Asian cultures such as the Himalayas and Tuva. My eventual Supernote submission will sound similar to this performance. I've just got a busy week with teaching and many rehearsals (Middle school choir/general music teacher)
Holding out the note is interesting, but the skill of throat singing like that is amazing! He is singing the long drone note while simultaneously singing a second pitch that then interacts with the drone producing the high whistling melody. What a amazing skill...

Or David Blane. If you can hold your breath for 17 minutes, you can certainly sing at a low volume one note for 2 minutes even though you are expelling a bit of air in so doing. you just have to sing very controlled by letting almost no air out.
TruthSurge I suspect you are completely wrong. Holding your breath under water is a very different skill to the highly controlled exhalation involved in singing one long note. It also requires the discipline of holding the note without varying it. Equally holding one note does not prepare for holding the breath under water for a long period.
Dean Frenkel Good health, lung capacity, controlled exhalation, preloading with more oxygen than you normally want, etc., all those are advantageous. Here's a guy who did over 2 min I think. ua-cam.com/video/BZwmHswast0/v-deo.html Like I said, if you could hold your breath for 17 minutes, you probably have a HUGE advantage regarding singing a note that lasted 2 min over anyone else besides these guys who are already doing all of those things.
Half right I think - pertaining to lung capacity. The breath control is completely different for the two tasks AND deep sea divers won't necessarily be able to hold just one note
@Skydda1 Did you check out the video on here of Herman Hack Bartholomew of New Orleans playing on trumpet "When the Saints go marching in" ? The note he held for over one minute. This was recorded in the French Market outside of Cafe' DuMonde on Decatur St.
Absolutely amazing. I love the secondary overtone produced to. I use to do something like this in my younger days like making a not and humming at same time. This is much "cooler", almost an ethereal sound!
@verushka22 This is overtone singing, also known as overtone chanting, harmonic singing, throat singing or khoomii , is a type of singing in which the singer manipulates the resonances (or formants) created as air travels from the lungs, past the vocal folds, and out the lips to produce a melody. The art of throat singing has originated from south western Mongolia.
but andrew denton is so great! he's one of the best interviewers, worth watching his show "enough rope." really interesting no matter who he interviews, even taxi cab drivers!
Hi Sinatra. Glad to see you're keeping the energy going. The exercise has many health beenfits. Singing harmonics involves a unique breathing technique of gradual and steady minimal projection - as unique as circular breathing is with didgeridoo. Dean
The note needs to be accurate, not deviate from the sustained amplitude by more than 10dB, have a sustained amplitude of higher than some threshold I'm not sure of, and you must be standing.
what he does is called throat singing, its a singing style that originated in mongolia if i remember correctly. It used the vibrations caused to make the second note.
Very good. Now try it for 75 seconds singing many tones simultaneously as Dean's student Ross MacPherson achieved yesterday. Dean's 57 seconds occurred on national Australian tv in front of one million people. His then unofficial record of 84 secs was broken last week with 85 secs.
@StageBoy13 its a weird kind of singing that is done by making harmonics with the shape of your mouth i believe. I can't remember the details of it, but it was started in asia I believe. The people i saw we're monk-like.
Hi Tim, I have never commented on your extraordinary effort until now. FYI I am very impressed that you could hold a singing breath for so long - your lungs are strong and voice is well controlled. While it may not have gone past the Guinness judges, you have broken the 4 minute mile of singing (60 seconds) like me.
If he was using vibrato, he would expel more air and he'd be changing pitch. The overtone was fluctuating, but the lower tone is the one that stays consistent and allows him to break the record.
i just watched this video again and i realized that i can't hold the same pitch and my decibil level varies throughout the whole thing. very nice job Dean.
He sings a note, and then shapes his mouth to "whistle" the same note when it comes out, producing two tones; one from his deep chest vibrating and the other from the airstream
the record's parameters don't say that you need to sing any other pitches, just that you need to hold it out as long as you can. I have no doubt that doing the second pitch would strain him quite a bit, and he may have gotten an even better time singin just one pitch.
He is doing something similar to Mongolian throat singing; that is why he sounds like having a little flute on the background whistling other different notes while he holds the main carrier note, and that is also the trick to last so long. If you just do it with "regular singing" notes like any pop artist, all your air will be gone a lot quicker.
It's harmonic singing. Look up "throat singing tutorial" and look for a UA-camr named "subtleinductor". He teaches the basics of throat singing. The whistling sound is an overtone in the whistle register of vocal range without actually using his vocals directly for the harmonic.
hells yes, i think there are afew people out there that could get at least 1 minute on a note, but id be impressed hearing a note held for an hour or so, witha special technique of some kind of course
This is a quote from the person who posted the video. "It should be noted that Guinness applies special strict rules to this world record that includes the requirement that the singer stands while singing. This effectively can reduce the duration by up to 20 seconds compared with sitting." Standing up actually allows your diaphragm to expand your lungs more than if you were sat down. Thats why vocal coaches tell you to stand while singing so you can get a deeper breath.
@JackieBorelli taking a breath while singing, difficult yes but what about singing live and a person in the audience fully expects you to havea conversation with him and carry on singing.it happens
Anybody know of the now disbanded barbershop quartet Platinum? Their baritone BLASTS a note (I think it's and A) at the end of their rendition of Auld Lang Syne and holds it for 35-40 seconds. It's full voice. This guy is falsettoing this note. I could falsetto a note as long as I could hold my breath. Easily a minute plus. Disappointment. Somebody out there could definitely double this guy's record while singing a real note. Challenge. I shall await an answer.
When I first saw the title, "Wow, someone held a note for 4 years?"
Lol
yeah.
Zminchu 😂😂😂
You had a comment for four years,
HAHAHAHA
Who else heard the whistles while he was holding the note?
I think they were truly beautiful to the ears.
It's called overtone singing.
+Mr SoldIerXeLitE11 omg yes!
+Mr SoldIerXeLitE11 Pentatonix*
What is that?
xivanna I heard it in the middle of the night and I got scared
What you came for starts at 4:15
Thanks
ty
Thank you
THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks
when it said 2005-2009, i thought it said he sang for 4 years. lol
Ikr!
Adam Assarian hi person from 4 years ago
Whoa! This is polyphonic overtone singing :D
It sounded like his voice was making music!÷!
This is my favorite world record ever,just loving it.I have just ventured into overtone efforts myself and as an astmatic i am pretty happy at hitting around 30 seconds myself,so i guess i am somewhere around the old record.This fellow gives me good vibes,thanks geez for moving me in a positive way in this crazy world.
MysteriousLabyrinth I don't know how long I can do it. But I'm able to do Wizard and I.
I did it for 30 seconds as well...weird how that used to be a world record.
i did it for 40 seconds at camp in 2010! (i said "awesomer" from a tim horton's commercial)
He sang a note for 4 years? Lol no
Synikal r/woooosh
The legend says he is still yelling today
i am confused here 2005 to 2009... 2009!?!??!? THIS WAS REALEASED IN 2007!!!
uploader just changed the title
Isn't it possible to edit the video description after the fact?
Simply edit the title to include the years, edit the description to include some more info and maybe some trivia, and done.
The record was held from 2005-2009
Usually when people who are not great vocalists try to hold long notes it's quite monotone but this was very pleasant to listen to (Polyphonic/Overtone vocals) 😍
1 minute 43 seconds is the current record... still seems beatable I was expecting like 4 minutes or something ridiculous like 6
Who did it?
I managed to get to 1 minute, but 2 minutes is too far to be done with only one breath
Woah our Onew isnt far off then!!!
Korisen I just mentioned that on a comment on another video!
I came here from onew ahaha
Annyeonghaseyo Shawols
Korisen I knew that someone would be here because of Onew & that man wasn't even singing 😉
Korisen SHINee are lucky to have that Onlegend young man

My eventual Supernote submission will sound similar to this performance. I've just got a busy week with teaching and many rehearsals (Middle school choir/general music teacher)
he lost at 1 second when his voice stopped making the note for about 1/5 of a second.
Holding out the note is interesting, but the skill of throat singing like that is amazing! He is singing the long drone note while simultaneously singing a second pitch that then interacts with the drone producing the high whistling melody. What a amazing skill...
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal.
It's sound like when you trying to listen to someone playing flute but there's flies flying around.

I shall one day beat that record, I can already hold a note for 31.2 seconds why not over 57 seconds
@Tangywhite Yes, he is producing that sound. You are hearing overtones in his voice. It is sometimes known as "throat singing"
Let Perrie Edwards try this
@Skydda1 Did you check out the video on here of Herman Hack Bartholomew of New Orleans playing on trumpet "When the Saints go marching in" ? The note he held for over one minute. This was recorded in the French Market outside of Cafe' DuMonde on Decatur St.
as I read the title I thought that he held a note from 2005-2009
This is the best comment I've seen all year 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree with you..
Some of the people who are in the Super Note contest here on UA-cam..aren't keeping a single note..
This is amazing stuff...
Didn't one of the singers from Air Supply hold that record for a while?????
Absolutely amazing. I love the secondary overtone produced to. I use to do something like this in my younger days like making a not and humming at same time. This is much "cooler", almost an ethereal sound!
I'm confused. I just held a continuous note for 30 seconds. Did I do it wrong? 29 seconds is short. I expected like a minute.
Its different when you're singing
Lol fr i can do 50 seconds
@verushka22 This is overtone singing, also known as overtone chanting, harmonic singing, throat singing or khoomii , is a type of singing in which the singer manipulates the resonances (or formants) created as air travels from the lungs, past the vocal folds, and out the lips to produce a melody.

2005-2009? it lasted 4 years?
what were those musical notes i was hearing in the middle, it sounded like whistling
i can hold a note in 2.5 Light Years
Rogiemar Dao-asen thats a distance... not a time
Ashish Zachariah i.imgur.com/hNwfAzp.gif
what if i told you, i held a note for 57.0 seconds
bountY I can just manage 40 so that’s impressive
but andrew denton is so great! he's one of the best interviewers, worth watching his show "enough rope." really interesting no matter who he interviews, even taxi cab drivers!

Dean
I can hold a note longer than 29 seconds and I'm 13 um...
The note needs to be accurate, not deviate from the sustained amplitude by more than 10dB, have a sustained amplitude of higher than some threshold I'm not sure of, and you must be standing.
+LegendOfZub You heard him he's only 13 he probably doesn't understand a word you said
This isn't the longest note Florence Welsh did a long not for 30 sec live
Jackson Catlett So can I and I’m 11 that isn’t really special..
@JordanBeckworth It's a style of singing that's done on purpose so someone can sing multiple notes at once. It's mostly used by Tuvan Folk singers.
2019 anyone?? Or .
wow! that is cool! so i am guessing that harmonic singing means whistling at the same time, cause thats what it kind of sounded like.that was awesome
i have pass him! yesssssss
@mytac0sftw read the description he made over 100 different changes aswell as the continuous noise
40 sec, I'm 10 lol
Prove
haha i did the same when i was 10 (11 later that year) at camp in july 2010
@KarasunoXiio it's called Tuvan throat singing. that stuff is off the hook.
Well spotted DrLectr. With every whole note lies an amazing scale of harmonics and every note is a chord of harmonics. The world is an amazing place!
I read the title it said ( 2005 - 2009 )
I thought he sang for 4 years

Check out the video of Johnny Mathis singing 'One Note Jonhy' Where does the note while the girls sing. Impressive!
@StageBoy13 its a weird kind of singing that is done by making harmonics with the shape of your mouth i believe. I can't remember the details of it, but it was started in asia I believe. The people i saw we're monk-like.

@HomihachiMetal333 no, that´s because he´s using overtone singing
the overtones change, but as long as the main tone stays, it´s allright
@Mecinimi Thank you I think it's a nice sound and I wouldn't mind having the ability to sing like that.
I wasn't ready for throat singing! that was really great
You should see the SuperNote contest here on UA-cam...with 10 people already over the "57 second world record"
@JordanBeckworth They're Called overtones. And it sounds awesome!
It's harmonic singing. Look up "throat singing tutorial" and look for a UA-camr named "subtleinductor". He teaches the basics of throat singing. The whistling sound is an overtone in the whistle register of vocal range without actually using his vocals directly for the harmonic.
hells yes, i think there are afew people out there that could get at least 1 minute on a note, but id be impressed hearing a note held for an hour or so, witha special technique of some kind of course
Is it just me or can you hear a whistling sound in the background almost like a flute or is that what this type of singing sounds like
why does it sound like he is whistling at the same time? amazing!
I think its important to declare what (pitch/frequency) of the note
He's doing throat singing... which in itself is difficult to do, but I wonder if it made it easier to hold the note for that long or not...
Thanks Starkeee. Yes the expert is Jo Istel. How did you get hold of my book?
Actually it was the harmonics that were changing - over 100 - the fundamental note remained the same.
The sound of that singing is the most melodic thing I've ever heard.
Actually the purpose of the effort was to highlight this fantastic form of singing. There was no mention, nor inference that Dean invented it.
i tried this one, i had a long note but i fluctuated (sharps or flats) and didnt sustain the note, he's amazing
he's doing it. its called tuvan throat singing. youtube it, its totally awesome
lov the place where he sings UUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
wow, four years holding the note, that's something
depends too cuz certain notes have to take some work to hold..
what is that whistling "up and down"? Am I the only one hearing it?
it has to do with the shape of your vocal cavity and the way the air passes through the lips (speed etc...)
how does he make this second sound ?????? its awesome !
Tuvan throat Singing AWESOME!!! did the vibrato count as moving off the note?
@PengPoyZneiz Thank you.
i turned 7 a day before this was uploaded

frikin sick sounds he produces...he really deserves the record
holy crap

its not simply to do this "uuuuuuuuu" thing, did you heard him?
That phonic overtone singing whatever is impressive enough forget the holding of the note, that's just double impressive
how does he sing like that
@JordanBeckworth this is called "overtone" singing
@MrBreeeezy im pretty sure that would be on the news at least one a month for a check-up haha
this was in 2005 im sure there are new records by now
