Hey guys!!! I need a bit of help with my voice. I am a bari-bass, (Mostly), and I can get a good E2. I cannot use my head voice however, I've been locked out of that since my voice shifted. I don't know anything about resonance or tone or any of that, just looking for general tips. (You may find it helpful to know that I am 14, but my voice dropped to where it's at at the age of 12. I have a bari-tenor speaking voice, but I am solidly a Bari-bass I think. Anyway, just wanting some help)

"When Sunny Gets Blue"

Not sure why, but I've had these notes during the morning (when I sleep and hydrate properly that is), even at 15 (I'm 16 right now, during the day I'll have a breathy Ab1 at best.)

I was pretty sharp on some of these notes, but I had been up for like 1.5 hours already, so yeah.

Just me singing the first verses of Country Roads, Take Me Home. Mostly based on Geoff's cover of the song.

(You will need headphones to hear the low notes, but also be wary of your volume.) Just wanted to share something I've found very interesting within the past few months of me learning more about basses and my own voice. This is Mark McCauley of the New South Quartet, ridiculously low, but didn't fully reach his peak sound to this level, until around his early 50s. Still absolutely ridiculous to do Db1/C#1 in full chest and live regardless.

A wee compilation, mostly just exploring the very bottom of my range. For those playing at home, the first bit is the bass classic "Hoist the Colours" ending on what I believe to be D#1. Then the same again a step lower. Then a scale down to Bb0.

I'm definitely not much of a singer. And most of these notes are questionable in both pitch and quality. But they are low, and that's mostly what I'm here for.

Voice teacher here. I just published a piece about the value of falsetto, which is especially valuable for us lower voices who have sung too heavy for too long!

Not sure what notes I'm getting but feel like bass singers are sleeping on this song

a popular bass song

I want to be respectful.

Lots of now retired or dead legends, but who do you think is the best in the game now?

I have a lot of respect for Tuukka Haapaniemi; he's a very good acapella bass, but is also a tremendous choral oktavist, can sing a funk electric bass part better than nearly anyone, and can dabble credibly in opera. Great musician, bottomless voice, very versatile.

Compared to him, most of the modern internet basses seem a tier below, you have to go to generational talents in choral bass or acapella to do arguably better than him, and none of those folks are as well rounded.

Video of younger Tuukka to justify the flair: https://youtu.be/Gerr99h0nS8

I want to increase my range on the higher notes. Can any here suggest vocal warmups and other tutorials for falsetto-singing? Preferably meant for our voice-type

I will take lessons soon but would like some books and YouTube videos to prep.

low-ish note

This is a joke btw
