  • Calling all Baritones! The Baritone Voice type has a beautiful rich timbre that Tenors like me can only dream of. Why is it then that so many men with a baritone voice spend their time wishing they could sing high like Tenors?
    Surely there’s more to being a great singer than uber-high notes. Well, there is, and this video is all about getting the most out of the Baritone voice.

  • @TheVeganFreediver
    @TheVeganFreediver 6 лет назад +201

    The highest note any singer can do, bass, baritone or tenor, will sound amazing to the listener, if it's performed well. High notes are relative to the voice type anyway. A bass - who would sing in lower keys/sing lower songs - sounds just as amazing belting an E4 or F4 as a tenor - who, relative to his voice type, sings in higher keys/higher songs - belting a B4 or C5. And for those who are kind of in between the baritone and tenor range (like me, although I would classify myself as a 'tenor in training'): A4 and Bb4 sound just as amazing. It's really all relative :D

    • @bradleymonroe6443
      @bradleymonroe6443 6 лет назад

      If tenor belts B4 or C5 and bass belts E4 or F4 then baritone is G4 or Ab4 which could mean bass - baritone belts Gb4 or G4, high baritone belts A4 or Bb4, low tenor belts Bb4 or B4, and high tenor belts C5 or D5 or possibly above. I possibly would fall into singing high baritone (B2 - B4) to high tenor (E3 - E5) in my full range and tenor (C3 - C5) in tessitura.

    • @tomgeraci2044
      @tomgeraci2044 6 лет назад +2

      Basses top out at E4, bass baritone F4, baritone G4, high baritone A4, tenor B4-C5, high tenor C#5 and above. That's what I've heard at least. If you can belt a B4, then you're an obvious tenor.

I had a eureka moment today when I was performing and I decided to play a Johnny Cash song and it felt so comfortable and I got compliments. I realized i really need to start picking songs or transposing songs to fit my deeper voice. It also explains why I have an easier time singing my songs. I have been writing them, albeit unknowingly, to fit my range!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video and your outlook on vocals. You're spot on! I've spent most of my life studying all forms/genres of music. I admire others like yourself, who have a clear open mind/understanding of what music/art is. From playing in concert/jazz band, to playing in bands w/different styles (metal/rock/industrial/alternative), and college for music production. I learned much from classically trained musicians. While technically skilled and precise playing/singing/composing; many lacked what you keyed in on, about (paraphrasing) making it work for them/the piece (setting aside theory/set standards and allowing timing/tonality to make it come together). I had to take advanced music comp twice, because my first professor wanted me to compose original harmonies/accompaniments for classical pieces, and wouldn't accept me adding unconventional notes/patterns along w/the set standard for musical notation. Obviously since there are a few musicians/bands, famous for the ability to pull it off and are considered musical geniuses by peers. Then not only does it work, but it defines what makes music a true artform. The ability to warp/redefine genres and create endless possibilities of sounds. I was blessed that my second professor shared your understanding and had a real appreciation for what I could create. Nothing unique and special is birthed from sticking to what's already been done a million times. Music is meant to break the monotony that can become life; not to become the soundtrack for it.

      I think I can relate to both sides of this story: Your music professor # 1 wanted you to experience and hone in on the "old" masters, and see how the classical compositions were developed. Then, professor # 2, on the other hand, just let you skip this part and go straight to what you like to do. I think it has value to play around and learn the traditional ways first, to have a solid base. After that, one can go off and do the free style "look-what-I- can-do-with-that!" part, which is of course the more exciting part of the story! I hope we get to hear from you, being famous and such, literally! Good luck.

    I bumped into your video by googling "Bob Seger voice range" and man, this is just what I needed! Obviously I'm a baritone myself, but most of my favorite music tends to have tenors as lead vocalists. Also, the songs that fellow blues / rock / metal musician like to play are often tenor high stuff. Unless you don't get the things you're saying in this video, it can be hard and depressing even for a vocalist with lower voice to keep up with other players. Especially if the others don't realize the biological and physiological aspects of singing. So, thank you Dan for these kinds and encouraging words. I will most definitely start learning to embrace my own voice!

    Oh I love this video!! Being over 6ft, I have a deeper voice than some singers but spent years struggling in the tenor range. On my first lesson with my primary vocal coach and mentor, he asked me to sing and play something on the piano. I played a jazz standard. I was enamoured of Chet Baker at the time. He stopped me after two bars and said. “I might be an old queen darling but I certainly don’t sing like one. Let’s take all that down a minor third shall we?” Years of expensive tuition and frustration no other teacher had ever pointed out the obvious. In jazz the baritone crooner has more of a place than rock. Eg Sinatra Bubble Bing et al to name a few. From that seminal moment I was on my way.

    Another great video Dr Dan! In relevance to this video and your puberty voice change video I would like to bring up another issue with most male singers in general after their voice cracks. Most guys after puberty will speak lower, that is a fact. However, it is not natural to force a fake and strong bass sound. Most guys think that it's only natural to speak like a bass after puberty and some think that it's cool to speak lower. Unfortunately these people are misinformed, especially if they wish to find their vocal facht and improve their singing voice. One extremely common way of doing this is by adding vocal fry to sound deeper and richer. Vocal fry is indeed a form of vocal rehabilitation and useful in some situations. However if done incorrectly and very often, is detrimental to the singing voice. This leads onto the next point where many guys start to believe that they are baritones/basses where *in fact they are tenors* (It is factually proven that most males are tenors)! So guys, don't immediately classify yourself as a bass/baritone immedoately and take some time to explore the higher ranges of your voice before making a final decision!

    I love being a bass baritone, with the lower end especially. I can go from D2 up to C6 (surprised myself with that one...)

  • @DownToYouSirens
    @DownToYouSirens 5 лет назад +2

    I’m definitely in the same boat as most baritones other than the fact that my head voice goes up extremely high on a good day.
    My full range is: F2-B4-E6
    My supported range is: B2-F4-C6
    Other than my head voice (which I can only do Sustained notes in...I can’t sing words in it without sounding like a 5 y/o impersonating a female opera singer), I often find myself dissatisfied with not being able to hit the high notes that most modern male singers hit.
    Thank you for this video! I absolutely hate when people range shame others and this video helped me realize that it’s ok to not sing high.

    I'm a Baritone and I envy Tenors because people are impressed with high notes these days.
    Edit:
    Mmmmm... No. People have always been impressed with high notes, not just these days. So I really envy Tenors. Most songs I like are made and sang by Tenors or Sopranos and so trying to sing them is a pain. 😟
    So I really REALLY wish I was born a Tenor. I could impress everyone around me effortlessly. I just wasn't lucky enough. 😿

    This is an interesting video. I know that, as a baritone myself, I've run into speed bumps a couple of times - people assigning me tenor parts in choirs, and things like that. But as a Lyric Baritone (light baritone) I understand now that some believed when I was in my early 20's I'd develop into a tenor.
    This was not the case and while I don't have that brassy punch (like Bryn Terfel, for example) of some baritones, it's great to have music which is well-suited to an individual voice.

And later on, after I started to show PTSD symptoms due to my work as an EMT, I started to struggle to relax my torax and expand it. Any tips to get my voice back to nornal aside from my ongoing psychotherapy. I also played the flute for 6 years but struggle to control my breathing as well. As of right now, I can only sing in the shower.... silly I know but I was super happy I could sing again. Thanks for the upload.

    I am not sure about my vocal type and I would really like to know... The lowest note that I can sing somewhat comfortably is an B2 that I can sustain... My lower register though ends up roughly to G#2 and not all days... As far as my higher register is concerned I can belt easily an Eb4-E4-F4 and maybe an F#4-G4(-G#4) but these are maybe mixed because there's a lighter tone in them... I can, however, hit but not sustain at all notes till D5... My falsetto extends to B5-C6 ( with a not quite controlled C6 ) and I would like to mention that I am untrained and I haven't taken classes so far... I would like also to point out that I can't sing constantly in the 4th octave... Am I baritone or a tenor ????

I was categorized as a bass/baritone when I was forced to join a chorus in elementary, but thought it was just cause I half-assed the mandatory audition. 20+ years later and I guess the instructor knew my voice better than me lol
    I guess I gotta go apologize to everyone for trying to belt out all those high notes during car karaoke.

I struggled to sing high pop songs for years and years, often straining, wrecking and ruining my voice in the process, and eventually ended up transposing everything so I could sing it comfortably. But I always felt confused and bemused by my need to lower everything, and for a long time - even now, still - felt it was a shortcoming and a handicap. I'd be interested in your lessons. Whereabouts are you? And would you do skype lessons or similar? Thanks heaps. Steve, Northern Rivers, NSW.

I can sing a song around the b note, I think round middle c, feeling quite comfortable, but my wife will say I'm singing too high, yet it doesn't feel like it, is that possibly the top of my range ? I'm very much a beginner and only really hearing things like head voice and falsetto,belt and twang for the first time, I've noticed your speaking voice is quite high, is that an indication of someone's singing voice ?

    Dr Dan,
    I have written music in a band situation and your words there were spot on, I wrote songs with my range in mind and it worked for me. However since then I have gone back to classical training. I have found that I have the Baritone notes but lack “the Boom” and yet my Tenor range goes to B flat 5. My teacher told me not to fixate on what I am or what I’m not and just sing what I can sing. This doesn’t help at all though when you walk into an audition and the panel takes 1 look at you and says oh here’s a lovely big framed big chested Baritone, it irritates me because I’m not obsessed with singing high as you suggest. But I do have four octaves. So why shouldn’t I want to sing both if I can sing both well?
