Matt Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Nice voice on this guy, I thought. He fluffs the F16 at the end or whatever it is according to the script: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuFE7mgpY5Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgrubb@gmail.com Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Somewhat unrelated, this video is an example of why recording gear has SMPTE time code sync. Note the sound not synching with his video at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 I think its more the flash format which prioritizes streaming audio before video? I saw this episode last night, have to say theyve got some good singers on that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshual Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I like his voice too. Would love to be so relaxed as he is in middle range! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew77 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Does anybody know what kind of technique he is using here to get this very "girly" tone? At times, if you close your eyes you can almost be fooled into thinking its a woman singing. Another guy that does this that confuses me alot is Nick Patera...... Any ideas guys?

analog Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Drew, I'm a wee bit hungover right now...and that video disturbed the sh*t out of me. That is truly mind bottling man. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chele1000 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ever hear of a man named Mel Blanc? Ever watch Bugs Bunny? Some people can just manipulate their voices and make them sound any way they want. I don't think he's using any different technique in either 'mode'. Just can go there......... IMHO..

keoladonaghy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 In Hawaiian music there is a strong tradition of male falsetto singing, and a few of them are known for the very feminine quality of their voices. Mahi Beamer is one, here's a sample: http://www.mele.com/hawaiianMP3s/2992_04.mp3 In particular, listen to the last few seconds where he soars. Learning what I have from you folks her on the forum, I really need to listen back to some of these folk, as I do believe some are using falsetto and others head voice.

drew77 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Its obviously neutral, but how does he make it sound so feminine, not to metion the apparent volume? Are they just simply that skilled at coloring their voice? If so how are the coloring it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Fraser Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Its obviously neutral, but how does he make it sound so feminine, not to metion the apparent volume? Are they just simply that skilled at coloring their voice? If so how are the coloring it? Drew77: IMO he's just doing things in the same way that a female singer would be... using regitration and resonance adjustments in the same manner. What I hear listening to this singer is well-adducted, thin-fold phonation, and with a laryngeal height that shortens the vocal tract to be similar to that of a female singer. This causes all the resonances to shift upward into the same frequency regions as where they would be for a female singer. Then, he is singing vowels with the same pronunciation that would be used by a female singer for this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then make sure its all selected (blue box around the sentence you're quoting) and press the button "quote" to the left of the "Youtube" button in the row of buttons right above the box where one types.

markgrubb@gmail.com Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Gender, accent, and dialect coaching of the voice is available through various speech pathologists and / or teachers of voice.

VideoHere Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Does anybody know what kind of technique he is using here to get this very "girly" tone? At times, if you close your eyes you can almost be fooled into thinking its a woman singing. Another guy that does this that confuses me alot is Nick Patera...... Any ideas guys? i woud say he has a major skill with falsetto, coupled with a natural sweet feminine - soundng vocal timbre endowment he can call up to use as needed. also, i think if you really seriously consentrate on acting and visualizing yourself a female vocalist, you can place yourself there phycologically to a degree. and the sames goes for females if gifted can sound masculine..janis joplin!!
