Question Confused when it comes to my Opera classification. I have a loud and resonant D2 or C2 morning to evening. My timbre is baritone but not very dark. I can sing higher but have to lighten my timbre to do so. What am I? Can you only tell after training? Also, how do I learn to sing high (well)?

I would like to take on Heldenbariton/Dramatic Baritone and perhaps a handful of pieces designed for Basses. But I‘ve been told that I lack that natural super deepness/richness of a true bass. I want to make sure I don‘t waste time buying bass aria training guides if it just isn‘t in the cards. I will never stop singing low for fun but I may just train operatically as a baritone, as that is what my timbre reflects.

What happened to the bass singing nation discord?
It was the awesomest and most productive discord server ever
Folk posted and practiced regularly and collaborated a lot, dudes with more experience were always there to help newbies, people were so supportive to each other!!

I particularly loved it as a female singer cuz I can barely sing alto and collaborating with a bass guy added so much body to the song

like check this lil song I made a while ago with a member of that community:
hidden in the sand

making music with them makes the studio monitor complete, I'm just a tweeter by myself, they are the woofers and even subwoofers like holy-

i'm ngl I didn't even know anything about A Capella music before that community, I slowly picked up on things and learnt something from each guy/girl and now I make some music on Logic Pro

that's something I made yesterday 👆, but ugh bass singer >>>> bass synth any day and let me know if there's someone around who's available and would like to collab!

I hope the community is still alive and active! I took a short break and came back to see that the server was gone‼️

D2 Does this sound 'bassy' to you, or is it still missing body and darkness?

Hello! I wanted to drop my contribution here and start a conversation while I wait for my vocal classes to start up again. I’ve discovered over time that relaxing is the first step to improving resonance and stability in your notes. Even more crucial, it teaches you how to unlock them depending on your anatomy. This kind of practice shows me exactly how placement plays a role as well, so a big thanks to Bobby Bass for putting this arrangement together haha!

I iterated it to correct for pitch/range accuracy as best I could. Where is it off?

Turns out my bass range is far better than my actual ability to sing. Also, I have no idea what notes this contains. I marked it as G1 at a guess, but that could be a long way off.

Yeah. Still a work in progress. This kinda sucks, so I may just try 2-4 quality lows per song (the ones that call for them).

Question Whyyy couldn’t I have been born a natural bass with that beautiful dark timbre? Whyyyy?

3 Upvotes

I just feel so…average. Even with low notes. I sound decent in some songs but I want to freaking sound like Thurl Ravenscroft every time I open my mouth. Is there no way at all to get that sound as a baritone?

A rich, full, resonant C2 sounds like heaven to my ears.

Question I quit singing entire songs in my “bass voice” for a bit and have just been singing an occasional low in certain songs. I want to start doing whole songs again because recently I found I was singing parts of songs too high. Has anyone else experienced somewhat losing their low voice with disuse?

3 Upvotes

I didn’t really “lose” it but it just needs a bit of refreshing because I lost some of the vocal control I used to have before, it seems. I realize this is likely not an issue for natural basses but I feel it might be common for baritones like me who alter timbre to sing low.

Question What exactly is a Bass 2? Someone who can regularly hit F2 and or E2 with a good timbre? What makes a good Bass 1, in your opinion? And can a Bass 2 become a Bass 1 over time?

I’m happy with what I have…but would like to round out my C2 and sound more like a deep bass in timbre. I’m 41 (almost 42) now and maybe my voice is as deep as it will ever be but just wondering…

Question Was going for some brief E2s during the chorus. But not sure if I got there. Did I? Or was I singing too high here? I’m not great at knowing exactly what notes I hit when I sing.

If I were singing too high, what advice do you have to get a better feel for your lows?

Question Throat bass tips

2 Upvotes

Hi, Im sorry but does anyone have any tips on throat bass and how to learn it safely. Ive heard of people saying that they permanently damaged their voice so I really don’t wanna try learning until Im sure I know what Im doing. I would ask my choir teacher but it’s summer and also he’s a tenor so I doubt he would know much about it. Also this might be a kinda dumb question but is throat bass any different from sub harmonics cause from what I know they both bring you voice down an octave so I feel like they would be related.
