My observations after about two months of practicing:
- Only practice for around five minutes max, and don’t do it every day or you will notice a buildup of pain in your throat.
- Despite the limit on practicing, the development has been surprisingly quick.
Day 1: Voice would drop to the F/G area and slide down uncontrollably. I could only do it for about a second before my breath ran out.
Now: With focus, I can hit a range of notes from B1 down to E1. Upon initial activation of the false folds, the sound is a little shaky, but then evens out on the pitch. I can hold it for about 2-3 seconds now.
If you’re a bass in an a cappella group, this technique is great as a “wow” factor, but shouldn’t be used as a consistent bassline because it overpowers all other sound, which would ruin a song if used too much. (Watch a live performance of Pentatonix’s “Natural Disaster” for context. Avi hits that growl note when the beat drops, and it shakes the walls. It’s sick when used like that, but if you heard that over and over for the whole song it would become a distraction.
Hopefully this clears up some things for any of you out there who are also learning it!
My voice sounds like bass, but i can hit very low, and very high notes
@@oc6845 basso cantante?
How do you guys KNOW know which note you're hitting. What tuner and recording equipment do you use? I find a lot of the cheaper stuff don't record below D2. I try to record using a chromatic tuner, but they;'re not great at catching growls. Only a consistent long note.
@@ney57e Super late reply here, but your question was only a few months ago, so not too bad.
Generally octave jumps are a great way to train your ear and voice. Play a note (like a B2 for example), sing it, then growl the B1. Then do the same for Bb, A, Ab, G, etc. As David suggested, practice this technique sparingly. It's rough on your throat, and you'll give yourself Laryngitis or Pharyngitis pretty easily. Once you get really comfortable doing it and have more muscle control, you'll be able to just growl the notes because you know what they feel like. Same technique applies to practicing Subharmonics.
Also, big shout out to David for making these videos for so many years. They've completely changed how bass singers do their work.
My choir teacher:dude you already sing a low C, you don't need to go lower. Me:.....but....Avi Kaplan
😂same bro, I still need to nail the subharmonic technique
Bruh my friend who is a bass told me to stop going so low XD
This is such a mood
@@rickyc1410 same situation here
@Piano PakDe i understand dogs but who the hell sings in front of bats lol
2:28 is where it starts
Thanks
Thanks
This stuff is incredibly hard to find information on. Thank you, I've been researching this for months now.
Glad I could help! Thanks man!
Yeah man! No one talk about those
I'm glad I found your channel bro... so many useful information that is so hard to find out in the internet... regards from Brazil!
Is so cool how now young people can share all of this. I'm 42 and I discovered this back in the 90's but I was afraid to share it because its sounds kind a crazy. But now is a cool technique to share with others. I'm very happy to be alive and be able to enjoy and share all of this. By the way I had no name for this technique, I had no YTube back in the 90, all I did was listening to J.D. Summers, George Younce, Ivan R. and tried to hit some of their low notes. Jejejjejee.. Blessings and great video!
I’m 12 and I enjoy singing low (it has been a passion of mine for a bit). I discovered this technique when I was 8 and was (also) afraid to share it with anyone. I could only do an E2-G2 growl note (it sounded horrible). Now, 4 years later with some occasional practicing, I can do an E1 growl note:-)
I'm watching this as a fifteen years old girl what is life
RUclips Nutzer I feel you mah friend
it means that you are curious.. it's a great quality
RUclips Nutzer I
RUclips Nutzer now i want to hear you sing bass, i have never heard a girl bass, i would love it :0
That’s weird because that’s me
I’m so glad I found this video! I’ve been able to do this kind of voice since I was 13 or so (I called it the monster voice) but only recently have I been using it to sing. My lowest currently is the G#1-G1 in PTX’s Natural Disaster. The weird thing is that mine comes out very breathy and a lot louder. I’ll keep working on it and practicing it and maybe my range will get bigger.
@@TheArtOfMind Lol, when i was 8 years, i found growl voice, and now i can sing with growl 5 minutes.
I'm bass
As kids we do a lot of strange things, I can do the Monster Voice for dozens of minutes with only one or two breaks to drink some water so I don't destroy my throat, and then there's my favorite that I call the Hawking Voice where I just breathe in while speaking (loads of practice and strong tongue control means my enunciation is quite clear), then if I tighten everything in the back of my throat I have the Kermit Voice, and the voice that I lost as I finished puberty was my Mickey Mouse voice since my vocal chords used to have a spot where they just stopped working if I went too high (not fading out as they do now but I mean just full stop no vibrations from phlegm if I remember right) but tightening my throat muscles and tilting my neck back I used to be able to pull some Soprano out of nowhere, at summer camp back in grade 6 I just went for hours using that voice as the class joker XD
good job
3:29 shortly after creating this noise, you shall spawn a demon
LMAO
Went back to listen. Next thing I knew, I woke up and my clothes were smouldering
And definitely don't do it up high (A1-D2) for an extended period of time for attempt to make it loud.
I found that out the hard way.
DEFINITELY. Pretty sure that's actually what I was doing when it hurt my throat haha
+Cody Jeter I did too... :D
the only person that's a boy is you.
What?
true life music all kids think they can hit low notes. i thought i could when my voice changed at 12. but i now realize i can barley hit some of those notes now and im 16.
I've done extreme metal vocals for a few years and my false folds are pretty well controlled but it's still so difficult 😂 thanks for the video man
All bass singers:
JD Sumner: Grabs 🎤
All bass singers: 😱
I didn't know this is the name of the technique I randomly discovered while waking up to a very relaxed throat! I'm a tenor, and it's surprising how this works!
I cant sing bass at all but for ages I have been able to do this but I didn't know it was a real technique so thank you for this video!!!!
Ewan Beattie bro me neither I thought I was just batman
You're amazing!! I've researched forever for these kinds of techniques, and you're the first really to shed light on any of them. Hopefully I can use this in my college a cappella group
I appreciate the comment man!
With a good amount of practice, you can definitely use these techniques for your group! ^_^
I think my technique is wrong, when I growl, it's pretty loud, and my throat gets VERY dry after, or even hurts. And the 2 big problems are:
1) I can only hold it for less than 3 seconds
2) I can't move the note, and I'm very sure I'm making a non-melodic growl and the growl is always stuck at A1 / B1. I can go lower, but I just push it harder and it doesn't sound like a note AT ALL.
Please help me
PS, my lowest chest voice is a C#2.
I can sing the riff to smoke on the water with this (so maybe almost an octave? I can descend lower but I really don't know what low notes I get because I'm terrible at judging what note I'm hitting on the 0 octave stuff). I've been doing it since I was a kid (making explosion noises with this technique in silly soldier games meant I got used to it and I more recently learned I was using this technique).
1. Don't push for this, try not to shift so much air to hear the note, the note should be "felt" vibrating and resonating in your body and throat, not your head or mouth (trying to force it out louder will just hurt your voice because whatever you're vibrating, I presume your vocal folds, will have a huge amount of tension). For me, the source is not nasally or high in the mouth, it is right at the bottom and back of my throat where my tongue feels it. I think this comes from doing it a long time and the relaxation but recognize there is a difference between singing the growl with nasal tone and singing the growl in the incorrect spot (which should not be high up and in the nasal-y area if you get my meaning).
2. If your adams apple is feeling any tension or moving down or up a lot to try and produce the lower notes, stop. Relax your adams apple and try again. The goal is to avoid that movement because it puts uncomfortable and unreasonable stress on your voice. My throat is relaxed when it makes very very very low notes.
3. If it's stuck at A1 and B1 stay there and get comfortable (patience). Sing songs in the key of A or B (or which songs have those notes in their scale) and add in a growl note every now and then to spice things up. Even if you are just ending a bassline like this example did, you'll naturally get more comfortable.
4. Holding it for 3 seconds? Do you run out of breath or is it stressful for your throat so much that you give in?
If you run out of breath try to relax and sing it quieter, I know it sounds counter productive but you will sustain a better bass note if you just lay off it and recognize that with a microphone you will hear these low notes and the microphone will pick up these lower frequencies you will not hear at a similar level. (Remember, you're not trying to produce levels similar to your melodic range of voice, which I expect you know how to project or relax on, you're just trying to produce the note).
If it's stress related, could you explain what noise you're making after your voice gives in? Sing in the growl and let your voice go out of the growl naturally (don't try to go back into an A1 note or anything just let your voice go out of the growl) if you hear anything but soft air coming out, you're doing it wrong.
An easy way for me to hit it is by kind of pushing my lips together to slightly tighten my jaw and push the bottom jaw forward a little. When I'm making the growling noise and I do that to my jaw, it usually drops. It does make me cough though sometimes and can hurt if done too much.
Best Username Ever my lowest chest hovers around an f to an e throughout the day so my growl is around a c to a c sharp with decent volume. Like you said you cant hold it for long since it will basically destroy ur voice when doing it many time. When doing it try not to force it through your throat but use your diaphragm to let it pass through your throat in a way. One of my choir songs had an optional d flat at the end so i used growl for it. Althought it sounds pretty weird up close, it sorts of blends in a very bassy tone when listening far away.
Any time something hurts, you're doing it wrong and should stop before you do damage
I can change the pitch, but, like you, cannot hold it for long. It is not because lack of air support, because I play the tuba, so.....idk what's wrong.
Hit a B0 with this, thank you so much. So excited to show this to my music teacher.
Man I know about voice, but the way you talk is so clear and intelligent. Very impressive and I'm learning, I used to through growls at around A1 because my chest voice dies around a G2 but now I can growl around F1 sometimes.
Thanks for the comment man, I really appreciate it!
I try my best to clarify things best I can ^_^
+David Larson I write a blog where I was going to a vocal fry video soon, and thanks to this video I actually have some names to show technique comparison. So thanks for that😄
I GOT AMAZED WHEN HE CREATED THE stomping of his own...
Is this basically just a batman voice?
Cl4tt3r f4ct kinda
Yes haha
но это не тончо : )
I just want to thank you for making these kinds of videos. I discovered my growl voice about a month ago by accident, but I didn't know anything about it, so I tried researching it but information on it is few and far between. I'm glad there's someone out there who knows what he's talking about and makes such good videos :D
Thank you for this!! I kept hearing Tim's notes refered to as "growl notes" and was wondering what it was. I'm fascinated that you guys can do such controlled vibrations like that, to hit specific notes! Amazing!
Monica B anyone can hit these notes
Ohh Orbiit Not necessarily w/that much resonance/tone: heard him live on/off mic, hits beautiful F1 chest notes! :)
I must clear my throat different than other people because I just can’t find that sound
They may use that when singing background but I like to see you use that "technique" and actually say words clear enough that people can understand the word. Like in ring of fire when time says "Fire" at the end and can clearly understand the word. This technique explains the low humming but that is all.
he isn't kidding, I'm a bass 2, and I can go off the piano with this technique, but practice at most for 15 minutes every other day, it can scar your throat for good if not done right, please take care or your voice and when you finally get it it's really fun to play around with.
So that F#1 at the end of "Ring of Fire" (live) is growl?
Yes. Absolutely 100%.
either that or chest voice
It sounds like chest
Yes
Its a G not a F#1
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I'm one of the two lowest bass 2s in my choir, and I've been trying to learn how to do this!
Thanks man, I can do G1 easily :) though I'm still struggling hitting an F#1.
I’ve been doing it for 1 month now. At first I could only hit an A#1 but now I can do an F1
@@MattsMusic with growl or chest?
Wow.. the cough explanation was the key for me. I'm super excited that I can tap into those notes now. Thanks! And you weren't joking, it's exhausting on the throat.
I think that you have a great talent.
Fishin' in the dark live was incredible when he hit that note. I saw them last November and they were incredible.
i've actually done this before, but never thought of using it for singing. my cat seems rather worried about my mental health right now though...
Hey David. I just wanted to say thank you for making this video as well as your subharmonics, and your upcoming whistle register video as hinted at in the comments below. I really appreciate that you're making these videos on awesome, but difficult, techniques that are extremely hard to find information on. I've seen all of your videos and am subscribed to your channel. You're awesome, so please keep it up. It's super, mega helpful.
Guys like you are why I keep making these videos.
I really really appreciate man!
Glad you've enjoyed my videos so far - I promise, they will only get better from here ^_^
Hahaha I agree with you man, i went to his channel, and looked through and literally ALL of them said "Watched" and im like "Oh... Wow... Ive never watched and enjoyed every single video of anyone ever, until I discovered this amazing singer and teacher!"
I never knew this was a technique. I can't can't sing or sing bass for shit, but I'm able do do this easily but have never heard it on a mic. This is awesome
Recently I adapted this technique for beatboxing as an alternative to the throat bass, the only reason I do this because I find that it puts a lot less stress on my throat.
This technique moves really easily into death metal growls which I think is pretty neat
Trying this right now. My family thought I sounded like I was trying to take a shit.
So I'm currently fourteen. My growl register is BARELY below my chest voice. Can I count on it getting lower as I get older?
yes
Daniel Barker yes. i really appreciate you not being like all the other kids saying they can hit every note ever sung.
well its kinda a running gag now. alot of those comments are obviously ironic.
I would not feel good for bragging, cause I'm fouteen as well and I have a 2 octave range, it's kinda ridiculous because I can't change my speaking tone.
Hey, me too but I'm fifteen. I found a video who told that I could actually be a bass but my chest voice has a 2 octave range more or less - I have more or less a 4 octave range with falsetto and growl. I just hope my voice gets lower and deeper, because I'd love to sing like a real bass
Great stuff, man!
Your research on these bass techniques have give me more to learn and look forward to as a baritone/bass singer!
A fan+student of yours from Bombay, India!
I literally thought it was Avi singing at the end of the video! Well done! I played around with this and throat bass for a while cuz I also beatbox but then realized that I'm really a Tenor and I'm happy enough listening to bass notes without really being able to sing them. Still, thanks for the tips!
I know it's a Time bassline but your voice sounded like Avi to me!
I figured out how to do this earlier today so i decided to look it up
how many times can this guy say "your throat" in 10 seconds?
well, boy am I glad you asked! 2:50-3:00
Great tutorial man, I've been practicing this for a couple weeks and now I'm able to hold a pretty good sounding F#1 and lately I've been able to sink down to E1. Nice job bass brotha
I'm really just stuck at one note in growl.
Don't know at all what notes I am hitting with my voice, but after whatching Faust do the ending in ring of fire, i was like, that shit needs to be hit. Been practicing on and off just the "the ring of *enter growl bass* fire" and it is getting there. believe it or not, its rather easy to get the chords to vibrate, the control is the hardest part at the moment. and yes, don't practice this too much and have a nice room-warm glass of water when u do.
Nice. I haven't learned this technique, but my personal best when properly warmed up is now a full octave off the piano. I have a feeling that I wouldn't be able to apply this technique to sing any lower than that. You sound great man! good stuff!
I figured this out way back, and just thought it was a neat way to talk...
hey man thanks my lowest chest note is c1 and I've seen these guys do this stuff like HOW IS THAT EVEN HUMANLY POSSIBLE. this is super useful. once again thanks
this is essentially low intensity metal growling, I like it!
A metal growl is quite different.
I've been able to do this for years! Thank god it's a real technique lmao. this is such a fascinating video. thank you David!
Thank you!
I lowest chest note is a Bb1 now I can growl a F1. Thanks for the help!
people:how much can you go lower ? Tim foust : yes
So, I've been developing this technique for a few years now, my chest voice goes to C2 on a good day, then i use inhaling to bridge the gap to A1 from which I can do this growling technique until A-1 (So that's an octave+ a fifth below a bass guitar)
As an experienced singer with this technique I'd say: don't practice it for too long, start out with no more than 1 minute a day!! Then it will increase naturally very very slowly. I'm now at the point where I can do it for an hour without hurting and another hour with more effort after 2 YEARS of practice. Don't build it up to quickly or you'll lose your voice completely for a week like I've had in the beginning...
I can do the growling technique quite well, I'm 14, i can do it with both exhale and inhale (go lower with inhale), i can hit the low note that Tim does in Ring of fire with exhale, gonna get a mic soon and am sure i will sound much better :D
The one thing I can do lol. Been doing it forever half-accidentally. Cool to hear the tech behind it. Thanks bro
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
can you do a video on the different types of ways to sing lower than your chest voice, and the pros and cons of each one (fry vs subharmonic vs throat singing vs growls, etc.)
Is this like chest bass in beatboxing?
cubeartist22 yea. its whats Daichi Beatboxer does to hit his notes
No, it's not. As someone who used to beatbox loads this is similar but different. Do not get them mixed up because I find this firebreathing to do little to no damage to my voice (despite what he says here) when if you apply that Daichi stuff it'll damage your voice more.
No, Chest Bass vibrates lower in the throat, not the false chords. (This does consist of vibrating the false chords)
Aristotle000001 yes, I believe chest bass in beatboxing uses the epiglottis actually to get that low, non-vocalized boom-y growl. You can also vocalize chest bass, which, depending on the texture and pressure you apply, can give you the bass that Wunknown, and Big Ben use, or a much tighter pressure and higher tone will give you the kind of bass that Slizzer and kenôzen use
I can produce the growling noise that you talk about in the video, but could you elaborate on how to form it into notes and change the pitch? Thanks
Anybody can...
So I done it like this. I hit a deep note in my chest area like an G2 und then change it to a growl G1 in the same breath. By doing this I gained more control of hitting a significant note. I increased the difficulty by changing notes while growling and I can say that I'm quite good at it now and can cover deep base lines from avi and Tim. But because I practiced too much sometimes I hurt my throat a little.
I used to only be able to go down to G1 (rarely Gb1) but then I loosened the strain in my throat, and now I am capable of hitting Eb1 at 12 years old
"People will think you're summoning a demon..." 😂 😂
My lowest chest note C2 and i can hold notes around E1-A#1 in growl 1.5 months practising
I’m finding that this is very effective for short notes, but I have no clue how to get more than three seconds out of these notes. The air expels out of my lungs way too quickly
I've always wondered what that was called. I can do this from e2 down to g0-a1ish. I can hold a note in my chest voice and drop down an exact octave into this range. My lowest chest note is a B2 (second B on the piano) but this allows me to get much lower at concerts with microphones. I can also smoothly transition into this register/range/whatever it's called from my chest voice, so many people think it's my real voice. Pretty awesome. My highest chest voice is G4, but ever since I got really good at this, I have not been able to use a single note in falsetto, but I found a range halfway in between chest and falsetto that I can get up to G5 in.
True Bass Singers Man
reading the comments I am surprised of two things
1. I beatbox and I've been doing the growl for two years now, and as my voice deepened naturally (I'm a teen) the growl has gotten a lot lower too
2. I never had any pain when learning the growl, the thing that helps me the best is to do a stitch voice with the instructions to the stuff he said to do. For me it made it not hurt and then I started going lower until i got it down
i hope that makes some sense to people having trouble with the growl
Hope I'm not too late to ask this, but whenever I try growling, it's SOO airy! If I try recording myself, it just sounds like I'm breathing heavily and there's virtually no actual sound produced, yet I can feel the vibrations, and hear it as I do it (like, straight from my mouth to my ears) Is this normal? I've only ever recorded myself using my phone and the mediocre Apple headphones that came with it, would it sound different if I recorded myself with an actual microphone? Or Am I just doing something wrong? Sorry if I explained it poorly...
Tyler Beggs +1
this method has no effect while using it without microphone... if you have, try using a microphone...something like David's using in the video. Hope it helps :)
I've done this for a while without knowing it was a thing. only way I can go as low as avi ;)
Funny thing is I’ve been doing this for years just for fun not realizing that this is what they’re doing when they sing those low notes. Now I need to learn how to control pitch. Sub harmonics on the other hand... been trying that for two months now and can’t seem to get anywhere with it.
This is very impressive keep uploading new videos on bass tips they are a great help thank you
Definetly is an exercise that inmediatly kind of hurt, but you can feel how the vibration turns higher.
Yep, the lower one goes, the slower the air flows over the vocal chords, which 'sounds' more growly, so may not actually be 'growling', but can if you want...BTW, heard Tim live, on/off mic (VIP sessions) & he can def. hit F1s in chest notes!..Amazing!!..On his own You
Tube chl, his CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE tribute to his gram, shows his range & beautiful voice!..Thx for the info, keep it up! :)
I’m wowing all my friends with this lololol
Didn’t realize I’ve known how to do this since I was around 10. If I plug one ear and try hard enough, I’m able to drop a barely audible C1. And very rare B0.
I CAN DO IT!!! I was finally able to grown the low note at the end of The Tim Foust Misty Mountains video. Now I can sing the whole thing. :D
E1
This is also the start of learning how to perform growls/gutterals in metal vocals.
When hearing you speak you wouldn’t say you’re a bass. But then when you sing that bass line you drop so low.
My speaking voice is similar to yours (maybe a little lower) and early in the morning I have a very low voice.
Is it possible to control that early morning voice for singing?

@@biswasronit -4? The lowest voice in rhe world can't go that deep. And 8? Overtones?
This actually helped thanks a ton man 👌
Thanks, great info that seems somewhat tightly held. I remember my Choir director say clearing your throat a lot is a bad idea, voice wise, and he trained some pretty talented professional voices, so be careful, as you wisely mention. Overdoing this could probably cause vocal problems, exactly like the Charlotte Church syndrome (just made that up, I think ;-) ), but totally different. ;-)
I've never recorded a growl note. my lowest note is a C0. chest voice to bottom of the piano, then fry/chest to go even lower.
I got a question for people that knows who’s a tenor and bass etc. my lowest chest note is F#2. I can go lower, but it’s growl! I’ve been told I can be a baritone or a tenor. My highest note is A5.
My lowest chest note is G2 How can O go below C2
My lowest chest note is around F2.. So this means I can extend my range lower with that technique?
I don't really find this that difficult, how ever i just can't do the sub octave singing at all. It's driving me crazy!
i'm the same
I’m 6 years old and already sing basso profundo. When I hit puberty my lowest note will cause an earthquake.
I was born yesterday and I can go down subsubcontra F#
Im not even born yet but I can hit a B1 very clearly.
As for me, my mother had issues during the first trimester. The fetus developed in an unconventional manner!
Because my larynx was the first organ to develop, my uncontrolled infrasonic vocalisations pressurized her pleural cavity, causing stress, trauma and breathing issues. She had to hence abort. يمكنحدقالكذاماأدري!
I'm new to this channel, this is a rly cool vid.
Ive been doing this since i was 14 and i didnt even realize
Don't know why I'm only finding you now since I've been searching this kind of stuff for years. Anyway, you've definitely earned a subscriber.
Also question: I have been using this technique for some time now, but I can only use it to access my 'Morning-Notes", that I can reach with my full voice early in the mornings. Can you not go lower than this or does it just need some practice?
I love you, best cover bass
Please make a video showing some exercises for these growls!!
I never knew this was used musically... I have been doing this since I was a kid and am very proficent at it.Now I want to learn how to do throat bass. Anyone have any good vids on how to do that?
Good to know, I never knew what that was called. I've been doing it since I was a kid, just used to call it the "demon voice". Practiced it enough that I can talk like that. :P
Unfortunately I can't use the line you sang as practice, since it's actually in my chest voice. Just at the bottom, but still there.
This is amazing!! But the thing is, this is how I learned Kagyraa, or "Throat Bass" as it is commonly known in the beatboxing world. Do this, but obviously vocalized. Maybe I gotta practice doing kagyraa without vocals. But thank you so much for this. Next: Whistle Register!!! And then we'd not only be your bass followers, we'll also become your soprano followers hahaha.
Haha do you guys seriously want me to do a Whistle Register tutorial??
+David Larson YESSS!!!! Also, do you think it would be possible to belt this?? Like, maybe if you are EXTREMELY good at this, and have perfect control, could you push it and make it louder??
+Syllavr Ehh... probably not. The false folds are much more massive than the regular folds, so their natural range tends to be much lower.
David Larson
Oh, ok. What's your lowest growl and subharmonic note?? And are you going to post that vid anytime soon? The one with the "Tips for bass singers" or whatnot? I think you said you were going to do a vid on that a while back on instagram when I DMed you about The Song of the Volga Boatmen. Hope I don't sound too pushy...
+David Larson I'd be curiously interested in it. The transition from regular falsetto to whistle, etc. Like a bonus vid lol.
One problem is that i can only hold it for like 5 seconds because im letting out too much air
Ive been doing this for years without realizing what it was. Whenever i play video games with my friends, i go really close to my mic and make that noise and it drives them crazy.
great vid! gotta try it.
Tim's lowest note is actually F1 (from all I know) without growling.
I've been able to do this growl for a long time but even with a lot of recent practicing I have a very small range with it and I run out of air very quickly, the longest I can hold one of these notes is like 3 seconds.
I'd bet with you it's not the false chords that are producing this sound. The setting is very different from singing that involves the false chords. Instead, a partial closure of the epiglottis is required, so I quess it originates from there.
I'm classified as a baritone, but I've learned to sing down to C2 in "chest voice". However, I can only close the gap to my growl register with a setting (in the growl register) that makes my throat immediatly feel sore. Does this get better over time or is my physiology just not suited to sing those notes with growl?
I’m a high tenor so even with growl notes I’m at the low end of a chest voice for a normal baritone singer who isn’t a professional singer
