    0:44 brighter going upwards, open going downwards, "Acoustix" style
    3:18 open going upwards, brighter going downwards, very resonant chord locking, especially in low range
    5:45 same placement in all ranges
    8:28 attempting no "wall of sound"

    The lock that Martin and Emmanuel get on that low 5th at 4:09 is FILTHY!!!

    Trouble is with this, everything they do sounds wonderful!
    The non-wall-of-sound version at 8:27 is so beautiful.

    The term "Legato" might be a good word to suggest or indicate this 'wall of sound' technique. Essentially, it sounds like what they're saying is that the sound should continue, not broken up by consonants or dipthongs. Dipthongs are where two vowel sounds come together. An example is in the midwestern-American pronunciation of the word "Take". When said with this accent, it sounds like there are two vowel sounds squished together - "Ta-ee-k", as opposed to having one pure vowel sound, "Teh-k".
    When implementing the idea of legato singing, care is taken to keep every line or phrase whole, as one unit, without it being broken up by consonants. Consonants are short, and lead directly to the next vowel sound, so that they are as small an interruption as possible.

    It seems like the Pyramid is much easier than the inverted Pyramid, especially for the Tenors, I can see that it's difficult to keep that airy sound while still holding their parts against the bass

  • @rweaver912
    @rweaver912 7 років тому +10

    Van Hook (Bass of 4V) sing with more forward placement while keeping full resonance in his tone. Away from the nasal cavity as possible. Few full tone basses can achieve this and not sound "thin" in the upper register.

    Martin with normal hair? Looks odd, but cute anyways.

    That was amazing. How did the bass guy changed his voice like that!

      +MrWebon practice with vowels and incredible control

    • @leopirdas6577
      @leopirdas6577 2 роки тому

      So when you’re practicing for this, you should try (for a brighter sound) an ah sound in the back of your throat. For a darker sound, an aw sound in the back of your throat. All while doing the normal vowels with your mouth.

    • @tommatchinsky9090
      @tommatchinsky9090 6 років тому +7

      It's the intro to "Bright was the Night" as made popular to the Barbershop world by The Gas House Gang, of which Kipp was the tenor. Legendary quartet.
      Here's them singing it in their championship run way back in 1992: ua-cam.com/video/pvYT_yWiLqU/v-deo.html

    I guess Acoustix was singing always very open in the 90s. Especially Middaugh and Oxley sung with a bright chest voice. So I think they used the pipe. Not the pyramid. Maybe I understood something wrong :D

    • @ButtWeasel101
      @ButtWeasel101 7 років тому +9

      Not exactly. Listen closely on songs like "That's an Irish Lullaby" and "Tonight, Tonight" and you'll hear Middaugh and the others really darkening their tone when singing low in the range. Conversely, Todd (the tenor) sings almost exclusively in a bright falsetto, and is almost infamous in this quartet for never singing high thirds in full-voice, although he does adjust his tone in the rare occasion where his part dips beneath the lead.

  • @danishcartoonist545
    @danishcartoonist545 10 років тому +7

    "Class of the 80s" was "Acoustix" with Dan Bell on Lead instead of Rick Maddaugh and they finished 14th in 1989, so you can say Acoustix won on their first try but you could also argue that statement is 75% incorrect.

    • @teddykgb3865
      @teddykgb3865 4 роки тому +4

      Todd Wilson and Jason January were in Class of the 80s. Jeff Oxley and Rick Middaugh weren't. Furthermore, Todd sang bass in Cot80s and tenor in Acoustix. Acoustix was a completely different quartet. They won on their first try.

    • @kylekolebuck9191
      @kylekolebuck9191 3 роки тому +2

      Teddy KGB Oxley sang bass with Class of the 80’s when they competed in 1989. Dan Bell was on lead, Todd sang tenor, Jason sang baritone. So based off of this, they were 75% of Acoustix. I have a recording of them from that competition if you’d like to hear it.

    Dan, you were there. Could you answer my question, please? Did they say which of the 2 models is better? Or is it just important to use one of them instead of "random" model for each singer?

    • @HunterZ20
      @HunterZ20 4 роки тому +6

      If you pick one it's for all four singers. That was insinuated since they spoke in the context of quartet's. They also mentioned that each can work for different types of songs. Every singer just needs to be on the same page is the main point here.
