Things I learned after posting this video: 1: I'm ignorant to the world of beatboxing. 2: Professional beatboxers are not human. Let it be know though that there is a big difference between using this for beatboxing's "inward bass" and using this technique to *sing*. One is done fairly often - the other is extremely rare. Same mechanics - different desired sound & application. Thanks for all the information, support, critique, and enthusiasm. Stay tuned for more videos in the near future 🤘
inward base is different, but I've seen this done by a beat boxer called helium. I've been practicing ever since, and i found that making the same shape you make with your tong as the one you make when saying 'L' makes it sound better. I hope this helps. Edit: sorry, I meant soso. My bad
@@suraca8695 actually what helium uses is inward bass as well. if you want a beatboxer who uses the same thing as this guys its soso. he uses the inward vocal fry a lot.
@@MrFLOLIFY same xd as a kid some friend told me bout this and i got is instantly :o about 15 years later i watch this video: lol im not the only one doing this xD
I've always found this more natural to me than subharmonics or growling, and after some practice, I can now use this in my choir to be louder when hitting D2 and C2!
@@levinutter3026 knowing this actually helps me a shit ton. I use ingressive phonation for fun when speaking all the time. Ive been unsure if i'm just chest frying or actually doing a subharmonic. now I know ive actually been doing subharmonics
David, thanks to you I've both been able to sing subharmonics and low inhaled notes by practicing over 2 months. Obviously I still need to get better, but I'm getting to a point where I can use the techniques more seamlessly with normal singing. Thank you so much for the content you share
After doing this for about 5 weeks, I can say this works. Very well for me. In the beginning it sounds terrible, but singing in tune with Oktavist, it essentially has greatly assisted me in singing an E1. With lots of practice (for me 3 hours a day, (quarantine helped with this)) you can start getting more and more of a vocal fry. Instead of sounding as if you have breathing problems. So thanks man! It really helps and works. Again for those who are trying, keep doing it. It will get better with lots of practice!
In metal music a lot of singers practice inhale screams to do very low screams, but there is something so powerful with your clean tones that I much rather work on learning this than the screams. Very inspiring!
Actually, this is the technique that I use in my songs for a long time. I wanted to do this video eventually but you beat me to it 😁 In my case I like it better than subharmincs. For me, easier to use and much lower. We should talk about this someday 🤓
I've been travelling down a youtube hole of these alternative singing thecniques, and this is the first one that produced a result within 5 minutes of trying it for the first time. Holy crap it's amazing how awesome that feels! Thanks for these tutorials and all your knowledge of the topic, it's incredibly fun to experiment and play around with this stuff!!
You’re the first video I’ve found talking about this! I found it out on my own a couple months ago, and it’s so fun. I’ve been experimenting with vocal fry and sub harmonics for a while now, and this method is so much more powerful, but so much harder to control.
ive done this for years as well, it's fun to do. For getting over the passaggios you can use the same principles as for high singing (vowel modifications) and the more you can control the amount of air you breathe in, the stronger the note will be. The difference between starting and getting resonant low notes is precisely in the fact you don't literally gasp air but inhale controllably. It is basically reverse singing in every sense of the word. It's not unused though, some people can't hit whistle register normally and inhale to get to those notes plus they expand your range a lot (I can get to around B7 with *controlled* inhale whistles, I've learned how to do scales with them and can basically sing 7th octave notes on command, 8th octave is a little more difficult xd). It's prevalent in the metal world especially where there's also inhale distortion. For low notes I haven't heard anybody do it either. Theory wise, classical singers know about this but it is regarded as an "untrue" way to sing and is always shunned, even places like TheRangePlace which is all about vocal extremes will completely shun and disregard inhaled notes. There's lots of prejudice about it so that's why research on it is rare, almost non-existent...and also bass techniques are never talked about in general since people usually just want to sing high notes. It's about time we start exploring the lower ends of the voice as well xd
I have been inhale (screaming) for a little over a decade. Both low gutterals and high fry cords. I have not found anyone to teach me proper techniques, so winged it until i finally found a something within it, I physically can't handel. As long as an individual knows not to push it, too far past their biological boundaries. It is a technique that will last and entertain you for years. Side note: I never realized it was possible to utilize inhale vocals for clean singing, "non extreme metal distortion". Great video man. Your vocals are epic. 💯
When I was little I would talk while inhaling to try to freak out my friends. I never knew this would be a useful skill, but damn, it didn't take me that long to get it down wayyyy lower than my normal singing voice. Thanks.
I’ve done this for a while now, but couldn’t find any videos on UA-cam. Finally someone else who knows it too. I’ve gotten down into the 0 octave with it.

Yes, this is only the second video I have found where someone talks about singing on the inhale. I do this all the time. First time was an accident. Thank you for the video and the comfort that someone else does this.
I totally didn't realize you're the one who taught me subharmonics a couple years ago. Good to see you are still uploading videos with new techniques!!!
Trying out an inward bass tutorial, it is about one's epiglottis relaxing and producing a sound similar to a trill. This video is more about the glottis reacting to airflow the exact same way it does when exhaling.
I've been able to do this for a few years but I've never seen anyone talk about it and I figured it was just not considered a real technique. Also, I wasn't sure if it would be possible to transition seamlessly between inhale and exhale singing to get back to my upper register. Now that I see this, I think I'll attempt to make it usable in the future. Thank you for posting this!
David, I dont know if you will ever read this, but I just learned about your channel and started trying subharmonics. Stumbled upon this video. I have been talking in this technique since I was probably 7 (I'm almost 32 now). Now, I'm not much of a singer, but I am good at this technique and can sustain it very well. I guess I'm just a weirdo.
Yesss! I've been searching for a video like this in months! I started doing this and i notice i can go even deeper with this type of technique, but I couldn't get a perfect pitch (it was going all over the place). I am so happy that you done it! Love ur vids!
I learned how to do this on accident last year and I finally figured out there’s a name for it, thank you, I’ve been googling this for months and the search is over
OMG Ive been doing this same technic for years, no idea it had a name or anything, i use it to really hit low notes when talking, singing or even trying to play funny. Thanks for all the insight fellow Inhale Singer!
I've been doing this for about a year but like occasionally. To my experience i have yet to hurt my throat doing this, but there were like massive crackling. I tried it when watching tim foust doing his G0(?) during the live concert singing Your Man and to my surprise it sounded pretty similar. He fried it but i think this technique makes it like 10x louder. If i push it, there would be like 2-5 crackles per second (basically like a fry). I miiiight post a vid of this on another channel bcuz i dont want my schoolmates to see the vid lmao. Im 16 and love your work btw.
hey @David Larson, I have been doing ingressive phonation since I was literally just starting to be able to remember (maybe 5 or 6) but I never knew what it was called, so you taught me that. But I always had this ability to use the fry register in a way that I could only describe as abnormally harsh on the folds, and absolutely impossible to replicate breathing out. I had always been stopping when my vocal cords had enough (which you can tell when they start to have a 'cracking' sound or something comparable to when you first start, or when you lose the ability to use fry in the way I explained briefly. this ability is quite loud, and it's not very versatile or controllable (it sounds like if you do an "ahhhh" sound, but try to tense up your vocal cords, or make it really loud, or strain or SOMETHING -- it gives you a high pitched "pop" as I call it (or when speaking about vocal fry, we'd call this a bubble of air getting through your lungs) every 1.25 -1.5 seconds for me.-- so anyone who knows what I'm talking about, please tell me anything you know about it. and maybe give Mr. Larson a video of it, because about a year or 2 ago, I stopped being able to produce this inhuman sound. it just stopped appearing, and I don't think I even need to try to see, as my confidence in this ability is gone too so Mr. Larson, if you're seeing this, and you receive any videos or anything of people doing it like I described, please let me know, and if you can, try to tell me what pitch it would be, if, of course, the time in between pops matters. but if it's really the the pitch of the pops, then don't mind it. also, I know nothing about music, it's just something I like, so please excuse my inability to do it myself. Thank you, Have a Good one
I've loved following these videos, because I figured out all these techniques a few years ago by accident, from subharmonics to ingressive phonation, while trying to sing bass in high school. It's been amazing to see someone else with a similar low baritone voice go through the same process and perfect it, equipped with the vocal training and singing theory knowledge to actually demonstrate and explain them properly. I suspected you were on the same path in your subharmonics videos, but this video confirms all my suspicions! I can't wait to see what you do next, and if I ever develop my skills further, I'd love to compare notes! :L
If you're curious, you can also use this technique to access squeaky flageolet and whistle tones! And in regards to safety, if you go too low or push too hard, I find your voice "stalls" or kind of locks up, which basically feels like getting lightly punched in the throat followed by your diaphragm yanking on your closed airway. It's not very pleasant, but so long as you don't do it a lot, you probably won't sustain damage to your voice. I'd be more concerned about your lungs and throat, actually. Also when your voice gets tired it requires more air and more pressure to get volume down at earthquake frequencies, so it's easier to do it by accident.
Glad that through my Omegle travels, I’ve had beatboxers more proficient than I put a proper name to this trick. I figured out I could do this around the same time in my life and exactly like you said I’ve just messed with it all the time. Now I can hold conversations while utilizing the technique! Love it, man!
This is super cool! I’d love to see how people get on with this, if higher ups decide to do some biological research into this regarding the why’s, what’s and how’s. I suck at low notes even with an exhale and I’m not looking for this kinda sound in my music right now, but knowledge is power so thank you again.
You’re a legend mate. Amazing. I love that you persued this technique without support. Very brave. It reminds me of when I developed circular breathing for didjeridu when I was 16 without the internet.
This is super cool! I'm gonna work on this for sure, I've been trying to get really good at throat singing for a couple years, seems like this offers similar low end power, but with greater ease of rounding out the tone, maybe because it's your natural vocal cords, rather than like a sub-harmonic throat thing. Interestingly, it seems like I naturally gasp in a reverse falsetto, and the crackle which leads to the crazy low notes is below the falsetto. Speaking of reverse falsetto, I'm like 90% sure it appears on the bridge in Science by SOAD. I'll be sure to keep this up, thanks for inspiring me to try something!
When you said gasp in reverse falsetto, I gasped right after singing falsetto so my throat was still in that shape, and it INSTANTLY WORKED! Thank you for this comment!
It doesn't sounds like inward bass to me. I think it's just inward vocal fry, which is used by some beatboxers, such as B-art, Chuan, So-So and Dandry.
Dude, you are a bad ass!!! You can also sing very high notes this way. I haven't found anyone else in all of my 49 yrs. beside myself who have ever understood this or would even talk about this!!!! Much respect, you are truly a gentleman and a scholar.
I'm not very experienced with this technique, but I've discovered a way to keep the same placement with my inhale, and then continue that same note as a subharmonic. I was messing around with different vocal techniques and my ranges with them and found that I could get down to 13.6Hz with the inhale technique. I can also hit A0 in subharmonic, and typically C2-B1 is my lowest chest note. I just turned 17 a few weeks ago btw😂
It's funny! I actually 'discovered' this technique myself as a teenager and used it every now and then to impress friends. We were into all kinds of metal music back then and those deep sounds sounded really cool! Hadn't used it in ages though, and when trying now, I couldn't produce that sound anymore. Funny that no one ever DID anything with it until you made your video. Thanks for that!
I only recently learned how to do this, inadvertently by accident, and thanks to Geoff Castellucci, because its the only way i can sing half his notes LOL. And from him pointing out that you were the ingressive phonation KING!! Thank you so much for this
Wow nice video very informative, so actually I've heard about inhale phonation before and most of the trained singers use it but mostly to sing whistle notes but this technique is really good I've tried it as a warm up and it really helped!
this is cool as hell! do you have any recordings of music where you use this technique? I would love to hear it in practice to see how it can be used! :O also you are gorgeous, I love your hair! Thanks for sharing this! :D
Wow I love to make a sound while inhaling but I never knew I could do different pitches. Thanks for the inspiration in tips I'll try this out it sounds awesome
I’ve been doing this for a few years as well. It’s used pretty frequently in beatboxing, where it’s called inward bass. If you want to listen to some people who are good at it, I’d recommend Audical or Inertia. They are both amazing with this technique
I actually recorded a video on this back in May and I was going to upload it but seeing as I don’t have a following and I’ve been doing this for like 6 years now, I thought it was normal. But I was hesitant to actually upload it. I utilize this in my choir all the time and we are able to do pieces with low bass because of my developed inhales.
I'm very impressed. I've always been able to do this "inhale singing" thing (I didn't even know it was called like that, nor that it was an actual singing technique. It always sounded like silly noises you can make with your voice) since I can remember, but I never really thought about going low. Like really low. And holly if I can go low. I'm supposed to be a tenor at my choir! Also I don't know if this is particular to me or not, but I feel like I can control it pretty well right off the bat. I don't remember practicing in any way, as if I somehow always knew how to do it, but this video made me realize what it really is, and that it can be actually used in a singing cenario. Thank you for the video!

Now that I see this, I think I'll attempt to make it usable in the future. Thank you for posting this!
David, I dont know if you will ever read this, but I just learned about your channel and started trying subharmonics. Stumbled upon this video. I have been talking in this technique since I was probably 7 (I'm almost 32 now). Now, I'm not much of a singer, but I am good at this technique and can sustain it very well. I guess I'm just a weirdo.

Yesss! I've been searching for a video like this in months! I started doing this and i notice i can go even deeper with this type of technique, but I couldn't get a perfect pitch (it was going all over the place). I am so happy that you done it! Love ur vids!
I was eating while watching this, I regret everything.
did you suck your food into your lungs or what? :P
If the food were spicy, I know what you've been through... 😫🤯🥵
That is reDICulous, sounds otherworldly
I learned how to do this on accident last year and I finally figured out there’s a name for it, thank you, I’ve been googling this for months and the search is over
OMG Ive been doing this same technic for years, no idea it had a name or anything, i use it to really hit low notes when talking, singing or even trying to play funny. Thanks for all the insight fellow Inhale Singer!
I've been doing this for about a year but like occasionally. To my experience i have yet to hurt my throat doing this, but there were like massive crackling. I tried it when watching tim foust doing his G0(?) during the live concert singing Your Man and to my surprise it sounded pretty similar. He fried it but i think this technique makes it like 10x louder. If i push it, there would be like 2-5 crackles per second (basically like a fry). I miiiight post a vid of this on another channel bcuz i dont want my schoolmates to see the vid lmao. Im 16 and love your work btw.
hey @David Larson, I have been doing ingressive phonation since I was literally just starting to be able to remember (maybe 5 or 6) but I never knew what it was called, so you taught me that. But I always had this ability to use the fry register in a way that I could only describe as abnormally harsh on the folds, and absolutely impossible to replicate breathing out. I had always been stopping when my vocal cords had enough (which you can tell when they start to have a 'cracking' sound or something comparable to when you first start, or when you lose the ability to use fry in the way I explained briefly.
this ability is quite loud, and it's not very versatile or controllable (it sounds like if you do an "ahhhh" sound, but try to tense up your vocal cords, or make it really loud, or strain or SOMETHING -- it gives you a high pitched "pop" as I call it (or when speaking about vocal fry, we'd call this a bubble of air getting through your lungs) every 1.25 -1.5 seconds for me.-- so anyone who knows what I'm talking about, please tell me anything you know about it. and maybe give Mr. Larson a video of it, because about a year or 2 ago, I stopped being able to produce this inhuman sound. it just stopped appearing, and I don't think I even need to try to see, as my confidence in this ability is gone too
so Mr. Larson, if you're seeing this, and you receive any videos or anything of people doing it like I described, please let me know, and if you can, try to tell me what pitch it would be, if, of course, the time in between pops matters. but if it's really the the pitch of the pops, then don't mind it. also, I know nothing about music, it's just something I like, so please excuse my inability to do it myself.
Thank you,
Have a Good one
I found this in my teens too! No one talks about it, so glad I found this video
I've loved following these videos, because I figured out all these techniques a few years ago by accident, from subharmonics to ingressive phonation, while trying to sing bass in high school. It's been amazing to see someone else with a similar low baritone voice go through the same process and perfect it, equipped with the vocal training and singing theory knowledge to actually demonstrate and explain them properly. I suspected you were on the same path in your subharmonics videos, but this video confirms all my suspicions! I can't wait to see what you do next, and if I ever develop my skills further, I'd love to compare notes! :L
If you're curious, you can also use this technique to access squeaky flageolet and whistle tones!
And in regards to safety, if you go too low or push too hard, I find your voice "stalls" or kind of locks up, which basically feels like getting lightly punched in the throat followed by your diaphragm yanking on your closed airway. It's not very pleasant, but so long as you don't do it a lot, you probably won't sustain damage to your voice. I'd be more concerned about your lungs and throat, actually. Also when your voice gets tired it requires more air and more pressure to get volume down at earthquake frequencies, so it's easier to do it by accident.
So cool man, as a base whose always trying to get one step lower, I love watching your videos. Keep it up

this my guy is the most powerful technique ive ever seen
Try looking up inward bass you can much lower with the human voice.
Trying looking up inward bass. The human voice gets much lower than you'd think.
You’re brilliant mate!!! Nice one
new life goals! thanks man. one of those things i found that i didnt even know i needed.
Beatboxing's inward bass basically?
Shoutout to Inertia, Helium, D-Low, etc.
Inward bass is alot more aggresive than this

not inward bass lol

its just vocalized inward bass

Sound like it too.
I also stumbled upon this technique when I attended the Governors School for the Arts at age 14! Thank you for making this video!
Glad that through my Omegle travels, I’ve had beatboxers more proficient than I put a proper name to this trick. I figured out I could do this around the same time in my life and exactly like you said I’ve just messed with it all the time. Now I can hold conversations while utilizing the technique! Love it, man!
This is super cool! I’d love to see how people get on with this, if higher ups decide to do some biological research into this regarding the why’s, what’s and how’s. I suck at low notes even with an exhale and I’m not looking for this kinda sound in my music right now, but knowledge is power so thank you again.
Yeah I just start coughing like I have tuberculosis when I try this
This worries me a little bit. Pushing stuff out of your lungs is generally much safer than pulling things into them.
Have you gotten checked for tuberculosis
@A.A.Ron Davis you do know tuberculosis existed before red dead 2 right
Coming from someone whos from the beatbox community this has helped me SO MUCH. Thank you !!
You’re a legend mate. Amazing. I love that you persued this technique without support. Very brave. It reminds me of when I developed circular breathing for didjeridu when I was 16 without the internet.
This is super cool! I'm gonna work on this for sure, I've been trying to get really good at throat singing for a couple years, seems like this offers similar low end power, but with greater ease of rounding out the tone, maybe because it's your natural vocal cords, rather than like a sub-harmonic throat thing.
Interestingly, it seems like I naturally gasp in a reverse falsetto, and the crackle which leads to the crazy low notes is below the falsetto.
Speaking of reverse falsetto, I'm like 90% sure it appears on the bridge in Science by SOAD.
I'll be sure to keep this up, thanks for inspiring me to try something!
When you said gasp in reverse falsetto, I gasped right after singing falsetto so my throat was still in that shape, and it INSTANTLY WORKED! Thank you for this comment!
Jack Black invented this years ago. It makes non-stop rocking possible.
Yes, he called it inward singing. At least he had the immaturity to realise that it was ridiculous.
For real. Be careful with this or Kyle will quit the band.
Something I noticed while just playing around with it is that you can also make notes higher with it!
Mate did this technique when I was tripping on dmt .. helped me brake through as I could never before that.
I don't know how similar the mechanics are but "inhale growling" is a technique used in extreme metal genres often used to gain extreme depth.
I think thats pretty much it
from my understanding, this is the primary technique for inward bass in the beatbox community! they can make some weeiiirrrrd noises👽
It doesn't sounds like inward bass to me. I think it's just inward vocal fry, which is used by some beatboxers, such as B-art, Chuan, So-So and Dandry.
Dude, you are a bad ass!!! You can also sing very high notes this way. I haven't found anyone else in all of my 49 yrs. beside myself who have ever understood this or would even talk about this!!!! Much respect, you are truly a gentleman and a scholar.
Dude, not even one minute in and bruh, finally found someone else who can do it 🙌🏻 been doing it since i was a child and I haven’t hurt myself yet
I'm not very experienced with this technique, but I've discovered a way to keep the same placement with my inhale, and then continue that same note as a subharmonic. I was messing around with different vocal techniques and my ranges with them and found that I could get down to 13.6Hz with the inhale technique. I can also hit A0 in subharmonic, and typically C2-B1 is my lowest chest note. I just turned 17 a few weeks ago btw😂
I call it "craving" or "devil frog voice". Somewhere between waking the cadaver and mongolian throat singing.
Waking the cadaver Mongolian collab when????
Devil frog voice lmfao holy shit
This was shockingly easy to get a grasp of great video
omg I've been making noise like this most of my life!!! it's helpful to know I can actually use it! thank you
I can sing my highest tones by this technique
woah same :o insane. I sound like a pterodactyl. I recommend doing this only when alone ._.
Hey bro Geoff Castelucci has just made a video, and he features your subharmonic's video in it!
Do you have the link?
@@hibob4453 Just type Geoff Castelucci, you will have it
@@BluevesPL ok. Thanks
Increadible! Thank you SOOO MUCH for sharing this! Exactly the knowlede I was searching for!
It's funny! I actually 'discovered' this technique myself as a teenager and used it every now and then to impress friends. We were into all kinds of metal music back then and those deep sounds sounded really cool! Hadn't used it in ages though, and when trying now, I couldn't produce that sound anymore. Funny that no one ever DID anything with it until you made your video. Thanks for that!
So, I’ve used this when I’m doing a silly voice.(it sounds like a robot when done trying to do high notes) I stumbled on it by accident too.
Eli Judkins same
Likewise beginning here.
Possibly throat bass
I discovered this a long time ago when I was the typical bored 12 year old without internet
interesting to see someone perfecting this shit
I love how I've been only using this in Beatboxing but never even gave it the slightest thought, you could actually use it to sing as well :D
I’m glad I’m not the only one who does this but I didn’t think it could get that bad ass
Bruhhhh thanks ....
I dunno this technique existed.... I made some sound on my 1st try.... I'll keep practicing by trying to sing on pitch.....
I use this to sound like a raptor or other times a Chewbacca stroke and yes, around my friends
Yeah doing this is sort of an inside joke with me and my friends
I've been wondering about this technique for years but always assumed it was bad for your vocal cords. Thank you!
Amazing, thanks. I though I'm probably going to have to figure this out all by by myself ... thanks for sharing your discoveries. Best
It's normal sound like i've trained this in my past life ?
i'd never practiced this and i have a nice control already!
idk why but i have accidently been doing this for a while
The reason could be that you're a bass, as a result it's easier for you
@@brayan0742 Oh Thanks that's might be the answer (not native english speaker mercy pls)

@@mindfulape8763 look it up. Inward singing
I only recently learned how to do this, inadvertently by accident, and thanks to Geoff Castellucci, because its the only way i can sing half his notes LOL. And from him pointing out that you were the ingressive phonation KING!! Thank you so much for this
Wow nice video very informative, so actually I've heard about inhale phonation before and most of the trained singers use it but mostly to sing whistle notes but this technique is really good I've tried it as a warm up and it really helped!
I’m thinkin: Inwards singing Tenacious D 😂

I started this kinda thing based on that very phrase.
this is cool as hell! do you have any recordings of music where you use this technique? I would love to hear it in practice to see how it can be used! :O also you are gorgeous, I love your hair! Thanks for sharing this! :D
GG buddy, your breaking new ground, this is wild!!
Wow I love to make a sound while inhaling but I never knew I could do different pitches. Thanks for the inspiration in tips I'll try this out it sounds awesome
I’ve been doing this for a few years as well. It’s used pretty frequently in beatboxing, where it’s called inward bass. If you want to listen to some people who are good at it, I’d recommend Audical or Inertia. They are both amazing with this technique
I actually recorded a video on this back in May and I was going to upload it but seeing as I don’t have a following and I’ve been doing this for like 6 years now, I thought it was normal. But I was hesitant to actually upload it. I utilize this in my choir all the time and we are able to do pieces with low bass because of my developed inhales.
If you go on my channel you’ll see I did a rach challenge in A minor, I used inhales throughout that video.
@@1kalb that's cool man!
flippin' cool, dude!
I'm very impressed. I've always been able to do this "inhale singing" thing (I didn't even know it was called like that, nor that it was an actual singing technique. It always sounded like silly noises you can make with your voice) since I can remember, but I never really thought about going low. Like really low. And holly if I can go low. I'm supposed to be a tenor at my choir!
Also I don't know if this is particular to me or not, but I feel like I can control it pretty well right off the bat. I don't remember practicing in any way, as if I somehow always knew how to do it, but this video made me realize what it really is, and that it can be actually used in a singing cenario.
Thank you for the video!
