    I wonder why no one pointed that out but your first example in the beginning actually sounds like a very impressive 2nd subharmonic.
    It sounds like you start from an A#2 but instead of dropping to an A#1 (half the frequency, where the 1st sub would be), you drop to a D#1 (1/3 the frequency); which is where the 2nd sub would be. A dead giveaway that it's probably a 2nd sub is the amount of resonance you manage to carry even to such a low note. Very cool 👍🏼

    • @ZigZagProductionStudio
      @ZigZagProductionStudio  2 года назад +36

      Never noticed that actually! I was just recording random subharmonics for the beginning and didn't think much of it - I'll have to work more on 2nd subharmonics, then maybe post a video on how to achieve them (if I get good enough)

    this video finally made me realize that it wasn't just that I was unable to hit the vocal fry subharmonics like I see so many people do, it's that my natural register and vocal chord shape doesn't allow for it, the years I trained with chest base (for bbx) and then onto 3rd subharmonic chest base left me with a very smooth, thick, open and airy natural register, which is the complete opposite of what you want for a vocal fry, and even though I can reach a B0 and am still pushing it further, I don't have to sit and doubt myself hurting my vocal chords trying to force it to vibrate in a way it just isn't built to do, awesome video!

      @@ake9454 You can definitely sing that low! And in terms of getting louder it's harder with subharmonics in my opinion, just because you have to both relax and push the sound a bit

    Inn a good singer, but never trained to learn sub-bass. I naturally resorted to singing " *_Bo-bo-booo_* ". This gives me a plosive sound to start of with, which readies my vocal chords for the sustained low frequency vibration which ensues...

    I still have a lot of trouble with useable subharmonics. I am not in vocal fry until around E1, whereas, most men are by about F2. Even now, I have a dead spot with subharmonics; my chest voice starts to weaken around G1 and ends at F1 (E1 on a good day), but to get a sub to crack at E1-G1 is very difficult for me. Now, if you want me to do a sub at C#1 down to F0, no problem... where they aren't very useful for everyday singing, lol.

    • @ZigZagProductionStudio
      @ZigZagProductionStudio  2 года назад +2

      If you listen to a lot of subharmonics being used, they're usually used for single notes (almost like "finales" in some songs). It takes an insane amount of practice to sing in them consistently

    Love the videos! How accurate are phone tuners/pitch finders? I've got a pretty low speaking voice but nothing crazy, and these apps are saying I'm hitting D2 and sometimes lower in chest voice (even lower with subharmonics) but I really don't feel like im hitting notes that low. I also have zero natural pitch ability so maybe my inability to identify notes is getting in the way. Not a trained singer at all, was just curious if I was a baritone or bass and started messing around a bit

      Eu não sou nenhum especialista
      Mas todos os app que testei me deram o mesmo tom sempre que cantei
      Até quando toquei no piano as notas apareceu certo
      Diria que dependendo do ambiente deve ser 99% de precisão...
      Não foque nas notas e sim nos hz que você produz
      Anota isso é depois pesquisa qual é a nota correspondente
      Dependo da configuração do app ele pode mostrar um C2, mas na verdade ser um C3
      por causa da notação musical

      @ZigZagProductionStudio  2 года назад +3

      I can do a video about how to tell the difference - my best suggestion is use a tuner, and try and sing a note using the techniques in this video, and see if a note pops up. Then, try to replicate that

    Thank you so much for this! I think I heard it for a split second, but it felt like it was REALLY quiet. I feel like any time I go into vocal fry it’s too quiet to be heard. Is this normal? Granted, my natural voice is more of a tenor, so it may not be in the cards for me anyway, lol
