Matt Spriggs is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I as a woman can get down to "C3" in a "CONTRALTO" range!! However in his case though... he just belts those notes out RIGHT ON TUNE and he's NOT even straining his voice!! What a GREAT, talent and a gift!! Keep up the GREAT, work Matt!!
Great compilation. Idk why Matt Spriggs isn't doing at least at home studio recordings like so many others do. I am not entirely sure he is using fry for the ultra lows. His notes and breath is far too controlled. Good chance that like Tim Storms, he has a vocal cord abnormality with unusual muscle movement around them. Matt's lows are something else.
I feel like he could prove his chest range also by singing as low as he can into. a mic while trying to maintain as much of a pure sound as possible and minimizing overtones. But even that's not perfect when you get this low 😂
at that time stamp it is B-1, but right at the end (like the last 0.5-1 second), he drops down to around half the frequency, but he doesn't hold it. Not sure though, might be my ears messing with me
Church singers can't go as low, gain little recognition. Gospel is the way to go. I'll stick with the ancient art. It's a long road with no instructor. Blood, sweat, tears
I’m not entirely sure, but based on the clips that Matt said we’re strohbass, it sounded different than some of the other clips that were likely chest-fry, so I came to the assumption that the notes with more cut, edge, and projection were strohbass and the ones that have more smooth tones were chest-fry. This is just a guess, so this may be completely wrong.
Strohbass, is essentially a sort of mix between vocal fry and full voice (but NOT chest-fry fsr, but it's essentially the same). Vocal fry is just a weird noise we make

a lot of those low notes are just nonsense, they're pure vocal fry. Lowest I'd possibly consider counting is Bb0 and I'm fairly lenient when it comes to this stuff
This guy has a fantastic voice and range, my only critique is I'm not convinced that anything below G#1 was truly chest. All those notes you are labelling as strohbass, chest-fry and chest sound really similar. Thoughts?
tbh it sounds like the limit of his full voice is maybe Bb1 (hard to tell with that crappy phone mic but A1 and lower is definitely in M0, and i've heard some pretty M1 sounding C2s from him at least), which in all fairness is quite low. thurl ravenscroft could get to B1/Bb1 and sumner to G#1 in M1. Average lowest M1 note for males is Eb2 and the lowest anyone can sing in M1 is G1, for further reference. he could improve his M0 connection and get probably chest-sounding M0 notes as low as like F1 possibly. i mean ivan rebroff can do that and he's not even a full bass lol
@@heliotropeskies5918 That's interesting, where did you get that info that the limit of M1 is G1? The reason I ask is because there are a few select guys who do seem to have a legit F1, such as Eric Holloway or even JD Sumner himself. Deciphering what mechanism they are using becomes tricky because down at that range the vocal cords slow down enough to sound like fry anyway. But JD seems to speak around A1 which leads me to believe his F1 or even lower could be legit.
@@dylanjwebmusic if I recall correctly the limit of G1 comes from an experiment where they tested peoples ranges and found the range of M1 for men as G1-F#5. However, there are outliers, since there are some male singers who have gone as high as Bb5 in M1 (a third higher than the supposed limit) so there’s probably also some people who go below the supposed low end as well by about a third.
@@BassManMatteo Thankyou for your response, that makes sense to me. It seems like kind of a redundant experiment since there are already millions of recordings of singers from which we can hear their ranges. Maybe they used the throat camera for extra info.
I will definitely say that his vocal potential is good, and he is a great bass. but I cant wrap my head around any of these notes being chest at all. it seems like well controlled fry, I don't seem the appeal to his timbre. but that aside, good video.
G#1 in while the ages roll on is the lowest note i would describe as chesty. it has a lot of cut to it but it doesnt really sound particularly fryish. doubly, there's a pretty clear disconnect tonally between his G#1 and his G1
I think the G#1 is his lowest chest note recorded on these videos, but as time goes on, he would definitely hit lower full chest notes as well.his vocal weight is pretty strong, just needs to get lower.he's a great bass anyway
I’m not sure exactly, but Matt said that he uses strohbass for those notes, ask based on that I think it’s the ones that have more power and less tone, but I’m not really sure.
Just heard of this gentleman. I hope he's still lending his voice to a choir.
He’s never been in a professional chorus, but he wants to be.
He left the scene a long time ago, I was friends with him on Facebook and no one knows where he went or what happened
@@towerofresonance4877 I just found his youtube this comment will get deleted if I post the link but I found him

wth what do u mean
Yeah please explain
My man out here dropping facts
Not after this

Great video highlighting a great guy!
Thank you!
Where did he go? He is nowhere to be found on any social platforms and he is not on Facebook anymore.
@@towerofresonance4877 He took a break due to his poor eyesight.
6:09 I think this ones chest
@Hellcat Bass actually marcello really knows what he's talking about and also that one is chest lol
@Hellcat Bass the reason it sounds that way is cuz it's compressed not quite chest fry but tense placement
It's really hard to tell that low 😅. Especially when the notes are projected.
I feel like he could prove his chest range also by singing as low as he can into. a mic while trying to maintain as much of a pure sound as possible and minimizing overtones. But even that's not perfect when you get this low 😂
everything below A1 sounds fried (in whole or in part) to me 🤔
very solid stroh and extremely solid A1 but still
1:05 is Beefy damn that shook my ears amazing voice and talent Matt bas
18:48 Literally the frequency of a helicopter. Crazy.
Exactly what I was thinking
Oh my gogd.
Some of these made my brain feel tingly
20:51 It's B-1
Yep
at that time stamp it is B-1, but right at the end (like the last 0.5-1 second), he drops down to around half the frequency, but he doesn't hold it. Not sure though, might be my ears messing with me

At least a handful of the "chest notes" sound like subharmonics or strohbass
They "sound like" that to you
Matt doesn’t use Subharmonics
Then you don't know what they sound like
Nah, more like fry, but well controlled.
@@hypercubemaster2729he starts to fry from E1 on down to B-1
B-2 is like 7 Hz I wonder do they feel anything in their throat cuz it’s vocal fry
You can still measure notes that low and lower
@@evansbat via what?
@@Kurd05 Find the bpm of the fry note, divide by 60 and thats the hz
Then I plug it into a hz to note converter
If the hertz are lower than 27.5, just double your value and that is raising it up an octave
So if I had a 5 hz note
5-10-20-40
40 hz is a sharp D#1
So then divide by 2
40 (D#1)-20(D#0)-10(D#-1)-5(D#-2)
@@evansbat I know how to convert Hz into notes I even have a table ranging from

Nah man, he has a low quality camera it seems so it does it dies pick up things that low well.
An F-1 is literally less than 11 hertz wth

Yeah, it was difficult deciding which notes were what technique. I just took my best guess from what he said in the videos, but there may be mistakes.

Can someone explain me the difference between chest voice and chest-fry? I am really confused!!!
Chest voice is where the vocal cords vibrate fully whereas in fry they just pop
What is a strohbass note?

14:17 This is B0, not Bb
Turns out i can go a lot lower than F#0 using inhale....
Last one's are just funny cause its not cool at all to me.
Bro where is subharmonic
Matt doesn’t use Subharmonics
He doesn’t use subharmonics
Sounds like you're burping. Sorry, but I don't find it nice. Have a listen to Eric Hollaway, he's the real stuff with his chest voice.
