    I feel so bad for Peter. He did such an amazing job in this song, but everyone is gushing over Avi.
    Avi is an amazing singer and a wonderful, rich bass.
    But let's not forget Peter can sing tenor and his voice is clean like a bell.
    They both killed it in this song.

      Songovstorms15 The baritone line is written in the bass clef. It's labeled B2 (bass 2) on sheet music. Baritones that can sing the tenor parts do so and call themselves 2nd tenors, like myself.

      I think a solo album may well be on the way perhaps this year... He's hinted at it a few times on twitter... I love to hear him sing in PTX, but likewise, would appreciate a solo/collaborative album from Avi. In the words of the Wicked Witch, "I'm melting..." [but in a good way ;o)]

    • @hoshihu

  • @NikoPorter
    @NikoPorter 6 лет назад +740

    One of the things that makes Avi so incredible is that he’s got such a smooth sounding voice AND he’s a bass. Usually basses have rougher and bigger voices (which isn’t necessarily bad) but Avi has this sweetness and relaxed sound to him that makes him so great to listen to

    • @zain4019
      @zain4019 5 лет назад +37

      Niko Porter
      YES EXACTLY. I personally don’t like the sound of the regular bass voice, but Avis is so gentle and soothing as well as low and deep. It’s perfect :)

    • @sarahkleimeyer3792

    • @jowolf2187
      @jowolf2187 4 года назад +21

      That's partly because a lot of the guys who people think are basses are actually baritones - and it's kinda pushing it for us to get our voices that low so it gets that kind of breathy, growl-esque tone to it (it happens to me and most of the other guys I know who try to go lower than we are technically able to). There's also a darker harsher tone present in the lower range period, so it's just naturally present when guys who have that really low range. I have to assume that Avi is classically trained, because he can hit notes a lot higher than many basses (and that only comes with training and years of practice) and he has learned to smooth out that natural grit that other basses tend to embrace (for example Tim Foust legit sounds like a cross between thunder and a wolf's growl).

    • @liambreen7892
      @liambreen7892 3 года назад +18

      Jo Wolf Avi is classically trained and also majored in opera in college. I think one thing that helps him have such smooth, relaxed low notes is the fact his talking voice is very low as well, so the notes are comfortable

I find that the extra harmonies etc they’ve added actually make the song disjointed and it doesn’t flow as well. Not to mention, they changed up two specific areas near the beginning verses , basically rendering their potential awesomeness as now Void. And they don’t do well about bringing out the emotional aspect of it at all. I much prefer David Larsen and David Kahn’s version.

    There will always be someone who is better than him, but if you look at his songs and remember that everything is sang by him, you see how much and in how many different directions he can sing.

LITERALLY TRAINING every day for like 1-2 hours to get deeper, so far ive made progress, i went from being able to hit a F with like total ease and have to work to get lower, Then down to a G and now i am able to go down to a E with ease. but still training... and when i say training, im talking like rocky style training lol.

    • @vsilverisisv
      @vsilverisisv 8 лет назад +26

      your lypmh nodes have nothing to do with your voice. It's all about the thickness of your vocal cords and the amount of a particular type of testosterone that is released during puberty from your testes. That's why boys with good soprano ranges were castrated during the renaissance, to keep their voice from dropping in range. Training can help with lubrication to somewhat expand your range and in particular shorten the gap between head voice and chest voice, but unless you are naturally at least a second baratone, getting truly into the bass range is going to be extremely difficult.

    • @Baxocj

I was especially impressed by Avi, so found this video through searching for more stuff by him - now I discovered Peter Hollens. What a great pairing, this duet. :)
    What I particularly like about Avi is that even though he's most famous for his lower range, when he sings in his mid to higher range, he has a really, really beautiful tone. His range is great, and none of it sounds strained.

      What he said indeed!!! And Yay for someone else recognizing Tom Anderson's mad arranging skills and giving props. Also props to 5thGen for great videography! I could go for an entire CD of these two so very talented musicians singing Tom's arrangements together. It would be worth every penny!

    O Avi, I've so missed that beautiful smile of yours.

    I absolutely LOVE getting to hear Avi singing in this low register. Such a great arrangement to highlight him. Both of them are AMAZING. Such intricate harmonies and dissonance. These kinds of complex madrigal pieces are SO hard.
