    She's able to do something called polyphonic splitting, where she splits her vocal folds somehow in order to create two distinct pitches, which is really really cool and makes the band go crazy!

I usually just call it the Lalah Hathaway technique for convenience just because she’s the most common point of reference. Beatboxers who use it call it “Polyphonic Voice” but this won’t be clear to people unfamiliar with beatboxing terminology, because there are several Polyphonic singing techniques and so people might assume you mean overtone singing or something else.
      Hopefully when the singing community becomes more aware of it and more research is done on it people will figure out an appropriate name to refer to it.

    That's really interesting. I've seen a lot of overtone singing where you just kind of find the placement where your voice just kind of does that. It's mostly a party trick I think, you don't get a lot of room for stank lol.
    This is more like a breathy wheeze, but you can hear both of the notes clearly since the lower one isn't a lot louder. I think most people could probably do this with a bit of trial and error(I've heard plenty of people do it involuntarily just via a bad chest infection), the hard part would be controlling it in a way where you actually get the notes you want. She does that expertly. Pretty cool.

      @@GR20000 Kinda yes, kinda no, there are many reasons why overtones might resonate. When talking about throat or overtone singing, it is a trick of positioning and shaping things around in your mouth or/and throat in a way that amplifies the natural overtones that occur when you sing (octave, octave+fifth, 2 octaves or 2 octaves and third, etc). Sometimes, if harmonic intervals in a certain range are played perfectly in tune, loudly, continuously and with the right combination of instruments, strong high overtones will resonate and you will hear a strong resultant/combination tone, if it perfectly in tune it will likely sound really nice, if not it will sound bit muddy and not clear and depending on the notes, it will weird

    I have been a polyphonic overtone singer for 30 years and it isn't what she did. She sung one note with her vocal cords and another with her false chords. Though unusual, we hear similar effects from the throat singers of Mongolia. If you want to be an amazing singer, become an overtone singer. It will take 3 years of practice to get good and 10 to become amazing, but that is the same with any musical instrument, and the voice is much more than any musical instrument. It is shocking to think that people can't sing and won't learn when voice was what made humanity amazing
