TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted June 9, 2012 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 9, 2012 A few years ago, I had a thread. My voice was crapped out from self-induced partial laryngitis and allergies. I was wishing I could sing the role of Caiaphas from Jesus Christ, Superstar as it was originally cast. "All, gentlemen. You know why we are here. We've not much time and quite a problem here." I was thinking we should do that again. Sure, everyone wants power and control up through the 5th octave and maybe a little higher than that, too. But I think we ought to revisit the other end, too. I know some of you guys (and maybe gals, too) could rumble the frame of my house, like the freight train that comes through town once a month. And I will see what I can muster. I am collaberating with Keith on a cover he wants to do. So, I had recorded a sample of what I was doing, so far. And speaking directly into the mic, inches away, explaining what I was doing with the chord progression. And he mentioned that my speaking voice sounded lower than he expected, especially as all he has ever really heard is me singing something like "Full Moon" or "I Believe in a Thing called Love." I don't think I speak very low but we never really hear ourselves as others hear us. How low can you go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Guest Posted June 9, 2012 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 9, 2012 I thought the same thing when you sent the first scratch track. Your voice is lower than I expected. I think I can go fairly low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted June 9, 2012 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 9, 2012 Cool. That's way low. Actually, I was hoping some people could post samples of their lowest notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member Olem Posted August 29, 2012 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hehe, interesting thread. I got curious and tried to go as low as i could. First i tried to actually sing and then i just fried. I am not quite sure how low i got here. When i was singing i think i hit a C2 and when i was frying maybe an A!, at least a B1. Here are two examples of me "singing"/frying crap, hahaha: https://www.box.com/s/05374f8ecfe548aaf8c6 https://www.box.com/s/5db75cc9fe8c8d7c5ed8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member Tyson Posted August 29, 2012 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 29, 2012 I can growl out a G2...but the lowest I'd actually take into a show is a C3...my low range is awful :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Chavie Posted August 29, 2012 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 29, 2012 Usually Start to get whispery Around A2... sometimes in the mornings i get as low as D2 www.soundclick.com/chavie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Negoba Posted August 29, 2012 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 29, 2012 G2 cold, D2 warmed up, C2 with real tone but lower volume. All fry BS below that. I have original songs that require E2. I would never expect lower (of myself at least) than that on demand for a live situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member jco5055 Posted August 29, 2012 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 29, 2012 https://www.box.com/s/53c48e204f476eb91e45 I practiced like 3 hours ago and I've eaten since then so I'm not cold or warmed up. The lowest there is at least a C2 connected, if I can remember the lowest I've gotten without fry is like a F#1. An okay trade off compared to it sounding like I'm going all "Halford" when most professional rock tenors are in their mediumish voice in the 4th octave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted August 30, 2012 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted August 30, 2012 Nice to hear some samples. I think those are lower than I can go. I have not done a sample recently and I thought this thread had died a quiet death. Now, I've got to come up with something. Hoisted by my own petard, as it were.

TMV World Legacy Member Taigan Posted September 2, 2012 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 2, 2012 What, those lower notes are awesome . I'm a guy and I think the lowest note I can hit is a D3. Any advice for accessing my lower range, guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted September 2, 2012 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 2, 2012 D below lowest string on guitar. Would that be D2 standard tuning in USA? A=440. I will try to post sample over the weekwend. "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to post sample over the weekwend. Yes, standard tuning puts the lowest pitched open string, #6, at E2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
