Can a bass sing high notes? Yes, and altos too. Here are 3 simple vocal exercises that can add an octave to your range. I know because I’m a bass and my range increased more than an octave. Watch!
I’m a Alto and this really helps :))
@@PreppyFunXxX Fantastic!
Let me guess, step one though is quit smoking! LOL uhggg
@@kaylawilson7985 Only if you want healthy vocal cords that don't look and feel like beef jerky.
This is good. You seem not only knowledgeable but you actually understand the content unlike so many "vocal coach/singing instructors" I was amazed at how many are essentially running a scam so it's nice to see some real quality explanations.
Hardest thing about being a bass is trying not to feel guilty about not being a tenor in today's world
I'm bass. Yet it is possible to increase your upper range enough to sing some very fun songs in many different genres. Even though I always wanted to be a tenor, I've grown very comfortable to be a bass with some tenor notes. :) Maybe you can too?
Bass is underrated of course
I felt this on so many levels
As a young bass, I'm glad I have this information readily available to me before college, thank you!
Happy to help!
I wanna say thank you, it really helped me a lot. We have a performance task which is singing our hymn and it's too high😞 I'm a girl but my voice is low so idk how to sing it, this helps a lot!! Thankyou so much 😭
You are welcome, Marianne! Good luck on the hymn!
Are you an angel??? You was the first person that i found with exercises for bass. In the hole RUclips are just for baritones and tenors. Thank you so much, and sorry for my bad English, it's not my first language!
Thanks, J., I hope they help!
Love this info! I so need it.. My range is just where yours was when you started. Thank you so much for this.
Glad it was helpful! You can do it C-2000!
This is a gr8 video sir... Appreciate your work
Thanks a ton!
Thank you, I hope you add a translation in a video. Thank you
Thanks Chuck. Miss your videos recently, and hope all is well with you. Thanks, Colin.
Hi Colin! Nice to hear from you. I'm doing well....no covid. ...yet. I'm taking a break from uploading videos on YT for a while but expect to start up again soon. Hope all is well with you!
Great Video Chuck. I thought the F#5 was great.😄
I have a Bass quality of voice and I want to sing high notes. Your video is inspiring . I will give it a try. Thank you.
You can do it Ralph ! Watch this video and follow the directions: ruclips.net/video/d0Ob8WGmvPc/видео.html
Your videos are great
Thanks Rooney!
Hey Chuck, does the Nay Nay exercise strengthen the head voice? And does it also prevent pulling chest voice? Thanks
Hi SSL Don, if done as demonstrated, it will deepen the vocal cord adduction so it makes it easier to get into head voice vs going into falsetto. In that way, yes, it strengthens head voice....because it helps establish head voice. It does thin the chest voice and helps prevent pulling chest.
The bubble lips worked well for me :D
I’m going for an audition for a company musical theatre class, I’m currently looking at a base song because my voice sounds forced when I try sing I Believe from Book of Mormon and I can’t sing the higher notes, thanks for this
Other bass songs, Stars from Les Mis; Try to Remember, The Fantastics; Adele Weiss, Sound of Music.
im in my school choir team and im really struggling with high notes as an alto, i hope i can improve.
Absolutely you will improve!
@@PowerToSing thank you!
Bass singers are awesome of course they can hit high notes axel rose is a bass baritone your a bass yourself and you are able to hit high notes basses are fantastic I love they’re warm sounds and they’re low notes so relaxing
Well said!
Axl is a tenor lol
We basses have power of 10 tenors combine👊
@@belimvasim143 Yeah but basses can sing high notes
The craziest note that axie boy hit was F5
sir give some technique about falseto......i cant use it..when i try to use falseto The throat is broken after practice .....
Watch this video and follow the directions. ruclips.net/video/d0Ob8WGmvPc/видео.html
What are is the triad being used in these exercises?
1-3-5 to the octave or 1-3-5-8888-5-3-1 Start men on Ab4 and come down to Eb4 , ladies start on C#5 and come down to A4
You did a video about reasons one finds it hard to use mixed voice in songs despite being able to do mixed voice fine in exercises. But whenever I try to find it I can't find the link. Any chance you could post it as a reply?
Try this one: ruclips.net/video/MusJtOCjOSI/видео.html or look through these: www.powertosing.com/page/1/?s=sing+with+a+mix
@@PowerToSing Thanks. But I don't think it was that one. I think (though I'm not certain) it was one where you use "Anthem" to illustrate something in the middle - not the whole song; just one section.
I guess i am an baritone sir..
My lowest is c2 in chest and F#1 in vocal fry
My highest is g4 but i always pull my lyrnx and i could do head voice before like..not totally head voice but kind of whiste voice which could go up to an E6 but now i can't also when i try to do falsetto.. it's like falsetto but not falsetto..but it's the sound of voice crack..like i mean the voice we get when we have a voice crack..also my lyrnx goes high whenever i step in the 3rd octave..i have kinda throathy singing..so please suggest me some videos to begin with again.. because during puberty my voice is being hoarser and hoarser daily..i am 15
Your voice is still changing. I'd begin with these exercises: www.powertosing.com/pulled-chest-high-larynx-2/
I believe that it was hard for you to adapt to your masculine voice when it was fresh during puberty. I am an autistic man and I really had that problem when my masculine voice was fresh as I had to get used to sing lower, my singing habits were childish and I was used to sing higher. It confused me. Interestingly, while at first my voice felt too deep for me, when I compare it to an average masculine voice, I hear that my voice is a bit higher than the average masculine voice, in fact singing lower than B2 is honestly hard for me, and honestly I think I didn't want to sing that low in anyway, the problem is just that I lost the ability to hit high notes, at least I started feeling that my falsetto is too weak.
You are very likely a tenor. You can definitely regain your head voice....only with a man's tenor voice, not the old little boy voice.
I’m a baritone/tenor who wants to sing “Unchained Melody” the way it should be sung. Teachers roll their eyes or run the other way. I never hear from them again. Other singers laugh. Before I die, I want to do it again. “Bridge Over Troubled Water” too.
Absolutely! Fantastic goals! You can do it!
so im lowest is c2 and i pull chest till f4 but then it would break to falsetto,please tell me how many time should i do these exercise, what my voice type is, and suggest some other video please 😊😊
Start with getting your vocal type: www.powertosing.com/discover-your-vocal-type-wt more will follow.
Hi i have a pulled chest high larynx voice type and i try the buble lips alot my range was c2 to barelly c5 but bow i can easily sing c5 without strain but when i go higher with the buble.lips my larynx still gets pushed up
Add a bit of the dopy sound to your voice as you do bubble lips. As a Bass, you may find your upper limit may be around the E-F5. You are singing a full octave lower than some tenors can sing.
Thank you ❤🙏
but are you a woman?
is there a way to know if you are practicing wrong ? And Thanks though .. I searched the youtube good but this hits different.
It's the one drawback to online learning. Sometimes you need someone to listen to you who can answer that question for you...Am I doing that right? Short of a live lesson or feedback on an audio recording, record yourself practicing, and play it for a trusted friend or family member and ask them if it sound like the demonstration in the video (if you know it was done right!) Or, if you think you can listen very objectively, listen to it yourself). In the end, you may save a great deal of time and $ taking a lesson.
Thanks Again !❤
Im not quite sure what my type is because on some days I can get as deep as a C2 up to an D4 and on some days I only can go down to a E/F2 up to a F4 on Chest voice. I have a hard time trying to get into my Headvoice and most of the time I can't even get into it but thanks for the Video man appreciate it! What do you think my type is?
You are likely pulled chest-high larynx because you are not able to transition into your bridge or head voice because you larynx is coming up as you sing higher. You can confirm that by taking the test: www.powertosing.com/discover-your-vocal-type-wt
@@PowerToSing Thank you very much yeah I sure struggle when it goes upwards on a E4 till
I can hit all these pitches, everything from below A0 (with subharmonics) up to 6th and 7th octave stuff with overtone/whistle screams, but my natural lower and mid registers (what most would call "chest voice") are still from around D2-E4. I use my upper register for anything from around C4-G5 most of the time (with some overlap with my mid register up to E4), and I can now get it about as loud and almost as solid as my lower register stuff, but my issue is tone. I'm always left feeling like my upper register sounds so close to a tenor's mid-register, but never quite as full, and it comes across in music as thin or comedic rather than powerful and high-impact the way I would like it to. Everything you've demonstrated here in this video is alright, it's technically good and I don't want to be disrespectful, but it would never work in the context of any of the music I find myself making with my band at the moment. So I'm left wondering if I'm chasing something impossible by trying to get a fuller and more powerful rock tone out of my upper register/"head voice", or if I just need to get that much stronger and practice that much harder. I can often get it to work well enough for background vocals in tracks (mostly "AAAY" and "AAAW" and "HEY/ALRIGHT/AW YEAH"... you know the typical rock noises), but it somehow doesn't quite hold up tonally when I try to use it for more lyrical stuff like choruses. Axl Rose did it, and Brian Johnson did it, but I'm losing my mind trying to find my own way to that same freedom and get it to sound genuinely good. It feels like I'm just kind of doomed to sound like a big turkey pretending to be Robert Plant with anything over E4, even at best, even when it's strong and loud and well supported with good projection (it's not coming out of my nose at all).
Some things are genetic. Regardless of genetics though, if the larynx is high and there is too much squeeze on the vocal cords, or insufficient air flow getting to the cords, all this contributes to you not getting the full potential of your tone.
@@ChuckGilmore Do you find there's a natural limit to how full a bass can get their upper register, or can it typically get as genuinely full in sound as a tenor's voice at the same pitch with enough practice and the right coordination?
@@ExcessDenied0 It's all dependent on the individual voices. Generally, I think the tenor will always have a more "brilliant" tone or brighter tone than a bass trying to sing the same high notes. In contrast, the bass will always have more tone on the lower notes...even as the tenor begins to washout.
@@ChuckGilmore I suppose you're right. The acoustics can be adjusted somewhat in a number of ways, and new coordinations can be developed and stabilized, but there's still always going to be those harmonic frequencies that are resonated best by a given person's natural anatomy when it is operating within the scope of relaxed and healthy/sustainable positions.
hummm
Hi! I have a question, I don't know if I'm a baritone or a bass, because I began to sing one month ago and my chest voice can go to F4 whitout too much tension and to G4 but with a lot of strain, so I don't know my voice type
Take the test: vocalsingingtype.com/
I am not sure. Do I need to force air to generate the bubble lips or is a looser form of the trill?
Pretty much just like it's demonstrated at 1:51 in the video. You blow air through your lips just enough to get them to bubble. Loose, floppy lips are what you want. Not tight. Not with pursed or tensed lips. Just like you see in the video is the ideal.
I'm 14, and a year ago my speaking voice sounded really deep (like i could literally be mistaken for a 17 year old) but this year I've started trying to sing better; my range is f2 to g4 usually and on some days i can belt an a4 but i want to be able to go a few notes higher without going into falsetto, is that possible if im (presumably) a natural baritone
Totally possible. It's hard for us guys at age at 14. These videos may help: ruclips.net/p/PLc6YT-50Ji8HOB7VSpjcPMEV6IKiNB5Gz
Sir....Can you help me out with this problem..i was in the the habit of warming up in the evening...in the evening I easily connected my chest to head in lip trills , tongue trills, ooo 2 oct scale, e 2 oct scale...but now I've started to warm up in the morning after doing few body workouts so as to ensure good Blood flow to the vocal cords...but now in the morning im unable to connect my voice and break into falsetto...Just an advice would be highly appreciated
It's always harder for me in the morning. Try midday....maybe noon and see what happens.
@@PowerToSing for sure! Thank you Sir
I'm 13 and I'm a bass who can sing C2 to a weak g4 is it possible to increase my range or is really not in the cards for me?
It is absolutely possible to extend your range. I know because the exact thing happened to me...except my low note was or Eb maybe D2 on a Saturday morning. But this is also the hardest time for us guys to sing higher because our voices are changing. Start here for some ideas: ruclips.net/p/PLc6YT-50Ji8HOB7VSpjcPMEV6IKiNB5Gz
Nice Mr.white found his true passion.
The good ending. 😂
Don't make me mad!
how jungkook warm-up vocal?
I don't know how Jungkook warms up. Sorry.
Can you do Vietnamese subtitles?
I don't have any translation services.
Sir...What about Baritones??
Yes! Absolutely!
How do I keep my voice connected? Every time a try the bubble lips exercise my chest voice breaks, as I go up, into falsetto. Is there a difference between head voice and falsetto for guys?
How old are you? Are you male?
@@PowerToSing I am a 17 year old male.
@@emilianpopa1402 You are going though puberty and your voice is still changing. It is doubly hard for young men to stay connected...even with bubble lips. There is a difference between head voice and falsetto. Falsetto is what you are breaking into as you sing or do BL higher. When you are able to do it without breaking you will be in head voice. I recommend you watch these: ruclips.net/p/PLc6YT-50Ji8HOB7VSpjcPMEV6IKiNB5Gz

How do I keep my chest voice and head voice connected because when I try my voice just cracks and goes to falsetto. Please Help!!!

What is the highest note a bass can reach? And what is the highest note that an alto can reach?
A Bass's performance range should be as high as G4. Alto: C6
Sir is that a head voice or a heady mix?
My head voice begins at A4. Anything above that is head voice. My mix is from A3-A4.
Sir, I am a bass, and just like you said, I can't sing Above E4 and these exercises are too high for me how can I do it sir and thank you for ur reply

Can bass hit C6 in mixed/belt?
Infrequently. Rarely.
@@PowerToSing Otay! Thank you!
@@PowerToSing what about baritone?
@@routetmarihamadafan7352 Many sopranos can't hit that note. But it depends on what quality you are talking about. Maybe a whistle tone...but generally that note is reserved for great counter tenors and solid sopranos.
@@PowerToSing Otay, thank you!
I can only sing in one range can I still be a singer
Yes you can be a singer that only sings in one range.
Bubble lips and Lip rolls are the same?
Yes! I'm told Bubble lips doesn't translate into other languages very well.
Ohh, that's why you called it this way. Thank you!
What about a tenor?
Everyone in the world can sing high notes. You just need the right technique

Every experience will help you learn. Don't be hard on yourself. You will get better.

Has your voice changed from your young boy voice?

At least we all can sing Johny Cash right?
how are you expecting a bass to do these exercises to Ab
I thought it was impossible for me because I am a bass. But after learning how to keep the larynx down I was shocked to learn how to do it. Changed my life.
Can bass sing rock ?
Yes...but there isn't as much music compared to the baritones and tenors. So you want to learn how to sing high notes to help you.
I'm bass my vocal range Is
A1-E4
Walter white👀
Yes?
How can this be for bass voices when you are going way over that range in every exercise? Breaking the barrier in small steps seems more appropriate. Giviing up on your videos and seeking help elsewhere.
Because the exercises I'm giving here will help all basses (I'm one of them) and altos learn how to get into your head voice.
Bro(you look young) just wanted to know how much high a bass can go with those exercises
I varies with every singing and depends a great deal on your technique. Before I learned all this I could go no higher than E4. Now I can vocalize to the F5 and I've sung the C5 in a show I was in. But that all takes good technique.
@@PowerToSing not able to hit E4 ? Then building enough power to even sing C5 wow i suppose in head right how high can you go sir chest voice please tell me
@@belimvasim143 I only sing 100 % chest voice to Ab3. From there on and higher I mix.
Walter White?
That's Heisenberg to you.
The bubble lips scale is just too fast to follow...
Yes...it was for me too. It will come.
I have up to C#5 now in mix, but I hate the way it sounds :/ too thin and I can't access the second harmonic past A4
What does your teacher say?
@Power To Sing I am self taught and coached along the way by a few professionals in choirs, plays, etc but I would guess it has something to do with too much nasality and not enough support from the bottom. I'm also a smaller bass so I'm not sure if there might be some natural timbre "restrictions" just based on resonanating through a smaller cavity than someone with a larger build? I'm not sure 😅
@@Goggalor1990 Personally it has helped me through the years to go to a teacher who knows what they're doing and have them listen and help me. No matter how right I think I'm doing it, they seem to see and hear things I don't. The results is I improve is ways I did not anticipate.
Can you do Vietnamese subtitles?
I don't have any translation services.
