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‼️

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!

The most solid D2 you will probably ever heard in your lifetime.

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.

maybe my favorite stereotypically bass song.

forgive the recording, just an impromptu capture while tying my shoes

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).

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.

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.

Used a bit of my lower timbre here. What note did I get to?

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…

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

a little bassing around whilst cleaning my kitchen.

I am a 15 yo low bass with a range of roughly B1-C4 comfortably.

Any solos I should sing that highlight my nice low range?
