@maracheski Chest voice only. His lowest note very well may be vocal fry, but the clarity of the majority of the pitches he hits is a sure indicator that it's his chest voice. The note at the end has the classic dual-tone quality of vocal fry, though.
I laugh at this! Tim Riley is the best & makes this guy sound like a fake (which Storms is because all he does is fry and has no clarity because he NOT actually SINGING the low notes)
@IyoGata no no no no... i don't have herp sacs on my junk good sir, it is you who has said herp sacs on your junk and are there for a loser. You're also fat.
Okay I appreciate tha fact that this guy can go really low... But I don't see what skills he has to be able to get in to the Guiness World Records. I mean, I understand Adam Lopez (he can freakin' hit notes off the piano!) but not this guy. Even I have a range of 3 octaves and five notes (without training) I think with a bit vocal training I'd be able to extend that range to 4 octaves. You know what vocal skill is? Cem Adrian... Lok him up. He can sing from Bass to Soprano but he isn't in record
@pegahush This isn't his lowest - he is recorded hitting 8 hz, which is below human hearing ... when he does it, you can feel the note but you can't hear it [so it's pointless for recorded music] This song was really just his mid-range.
@pegahush oh yes, I forgot to point out that he has a 6 octave range - both his low note and his range are confirmed by electronic testing not just by someone listening and saying he did it so they have a record of the exact frequencies.
Dude this doesn't sound good. What's the point if I wanted I would go in a probably beat this guy my speaking voice is is that deep basically and this guy doesn't have deep speaking voice and I can get much lower than my speaking voice which is about the same as this guy is. Yet I am naturally a bass vocalist I can also hit very high falsetto notes. This guy can only do a bunch of low notes that are really annoying. Not even fun to listen to.
@hermygagala you can really do this? the lowest note this guy can hit cannot be picked up by the human ear. think about that. if you can do that then i have no idea why you wont prove it.
I've had the pleasure of knowing JD, George, and other gospel bass singers over the years; work in Nashville as a bass singer. Met Storms a few times, also. He was nothing but one of the most gracious people I've met and certainly wasn't a showboat.
Been blessed in the last few decades in my own group and have one of those unusually low ranges. I trained classically in undergrad & grad school and can say that Tim isn't using fry tones. There's a lot more to singing this low than realized.
@eltaco4046 You state "fact of the matter" about 3 completely subjective ideas you believe, while everything I have stated is either based on evidence you presented yourself, or googleable facts. You don't decide shit duder.
@pussy: You state "fact of the matter" about 3 completely subjective ideas you believe, while everything I have stated is either based on evidence you presented yourself, or googleable facts. You don't decide shit buddy.
@eltaco4046 ......I'm not in the book for something that anyone is capable of doing b/c it is moot the same way that you are not in the book for stupidity we are all capable of.
@ pussy....really? let me help you out with YOUR logic:
"how come you're not in the Guiness Book of Records and he is if any man can do what he does? You're not a man?"
as explained, I'm not in it, like many other CAPABLE males (words, we pick and choose them for a reason) because I have not wasted years to sound terrible in a vocal register incapable of audial capacity without a microphone. And questioning my gender is just as provocative as anything I've said, welcome to your hypocrisy.
@eltaco4046 and you're a hypocrite (you just defined a troll). fact of the matter is that this is only a record because he was the only person they asked to do it.
Again, congrats on that one. Saying I'm a hypocrite based on a few lines I wrote politely to you. Genius. Fact of the matter is that this guy is having a blast, making a lot of money while you're still sitting on our fat ass writting negative comments about those who succed in life. That's the fact of the matter.
Look, my point was very simple since the begining : it's not true any guy can do what he does. As simple as that. You decided to take it further. I won't. This debate stops now.
@eltaco4046 Took you all day to think of that? And yes, you are a hypocrite, perhaps English is your second language? And music is obviously not a language you understand either. Every statement I made is justified, and by extrapolation, my ass is no fatter than yours. You have no point, you have no logic, you have lost. Take another 8 hours to figure out a inadequate response, perhaps you can take that time to learn what vocal fry is and realize how low your IQ is.
@eltaco4046 You state "fact of the matter" about 3 completely subjective ideas you believe, while everything I have stated is either based on evidence you presented yourself, or googleable facts. You don't decide shit buddy.
@dickronculus Exactly man. I can do this and I have had proof but I am not going to go and try to get in the world record for it. This is just fucking stupid I have one of the deepest voices naturally speaking voice and can exceed it a ton when trying to do what he is doing. But really is anyone going to remember that asshole for something they can't even hear (which they can). Besides his actual singing voice is terrible.
As far as I am concerned JD is the lowest ever.there is no album or recorded proof other than what is said on a piece of paper that Tim can sing lower than JD
There are tons of recordings that have JD singing to the end of the piano and off the end
His breathing is all wrong too.When was the last time you ever saw a bass like Tim Riley, or JD take those huge face distorting breaths
His low notes don't have the power JD's did either and remember,JD sang in a time before these special mics.
@thebassmanadam I agree. Hz is a raw physical measurement of a vibration. Nothing more, nothing less. Call something singing and the stakes are considerably higher. Transforming hz into comprehensible lyrics while executing proper phrasing ( on pitch of course ) is a far cry from merely attempting to sing. Storms is fine within the natural limits of his voice but no way is he the worlds lowest bass. JD, Tim Riley, Sterban and a couple of Vladimirs are easily exceeding him in actual song.
@thebassmanadam And as far as you're concerned, you're wrong. Surely you are smarter than this. Being the "lowest bass singer" simply means you sang the lowest vocal note ever confirmed in a song. You guys are so far up JD's ass, we would need a crane to pull you out. JD was an excellent bass singer for his time, yes. But to sit there and think that he can't ever be surpassed is just moronic of you. PDK already has him beat with his A-1 14 hz (contrary to popular belief as a C0)
Producing a note Storms has everyone beat. I have the recording where PDK sings that note and its impressive but JD has gone lower. whatever the note is that is 4 keys lower than the piano.My problem with Tim is this,He has a rare gift yet doesn't showcase it or promote himself as the lowest like JD did.Where is Tims solo recording?where is his proof of his lowest notes on an album? This video with Rescue is the only time I know of he showed off some of his stuff.Real shame!
Where is the Triple C on the piano. i am pretty sure we only get Double notes not triples.
In any event, have heard PDK hit that on How great Thou Art and it just doesn't sound as musical as JD and personally. I can't stand PDK's breathy style of singing. It sounds horrible for a bass. Tons of recordings with JD on em exist and you can get a handful between Storms and PDK. If they are so great why are they so hard to find?
In this age of a million recording studios and the ability to buy your own sound board mixer and mics there should be tons of stuff with PDK and Storms showing what they got and doing what the fans demand like JD did.Show off what you got and let it be heard,what I said is why when using a bass as a measuring stick its JD used and not those 2.They are good they are just not in JDs league.i have seen many bass forums to make that statement accurately.
@beard295 An A1 would actually be 55Hz. If you want to talk about low notes, then Roger Menees has everyone beat. And as for being so far up JD's ass. Thats just rediculous. JD could sing lower than any of these other guys in chest voice by at least half an octave. PDK, Tim Storms, Dan Britton, Mike Holcolmb and Roger Menees could out " fry " JD any day of the week. But then again, you are the expert. What the hell do us dumb JD lovers know?
@carlos010ify I could not agree with you more. George Younce and Tim Riley had and have a quality that JD, Mike Holcolm, Tim Storms and Paul David Kennamer could not even come close to. My point was simply that When it comes to singing true notes (no Vocal Fry) JD was truly lower than the others mentioned.
@DJRanchIncorperated Did you even read my comment? I said A-1 (that's one octave below the A0), not A1. And just so you know, I have perfect pitch. Adam has stated before that he doesn't do piano or any pitching, which I do. I can tell you that PDK's C0-C1 slide is lower that any of JD's work. Now I love JD, Younce, Britton, Tim and many others, but give credit where credit is due and vice-verse. You're not smarter than I am with regard to this so stop acting like you are.
@beard295 No one has perfect pitch. You claim to be so smart about this topic yet you are so bias'ed against JD. Paul David Kennamer is a great bass singer and if you bother to be as smart as you claim, you could watch the video I made showing proof of PDK's triple low C. I agree with you man. You just don't have to come across as a jerk. Your not the only person out there who knows about this subject. Besides I think your piano might be out of tune. And i'm every bit as smart as you are on this
@beard295 And where are the video's of your awesome bass singing. If you have so called " perfect pitch " I would think you would be proud of that. I guess your just to busy knowing it all. Get off your high horse for once.
@DJRanchIncorperated Well nobody said could sing awesome bass. In reality, I'd be a good baritone. Not quite bass material. Vocal range of about C2-G4 comfortably (vocal records: F#1-E7). And I do have perfect pitch and although it's something to be proud of, it's not worth making a video about. And just so you are aware, I have a keyboard. Out of tune? Never. I got the A-1 14hz information from jowox (If you've seen any of his videos). I apologize If I came off as "rude".
@beard295 Jowox is the one who inspired me to put all of my video's up. I was truly sad when he got his channel taken down. I was being a smartass about the keyboard being out of tune. And I apologize for that. I have equipment that I use to measure note's for my video's. I am not always right but give it an honest try. I also have several people on youtube who come to me for note detection. Sincerely if I came across as an ass, I do apologize. I, like you am passionate about this.
@DJRanchIncorperated Yeah, I'm sorry for being a douche. Jowox's channel was taken down? Wow. I used to watch all of his videos all the time. A shame really. But yeah, I didn't mean to be an asshole back there. We got off on the wrong foot here.
ive heard many many bass singers and im wrkn to be one myself. but i have to say Tim Riley is THE BEST ive EVR heard! he is low and clear. evn the great J.D. Sumner was NOT as clear as Tim even tho he WAS lower. gotta be able to hear the notes
@Kriptykality yes it could :D it.s definetly fake because of the "little things that helps him make these sounds, put him in a Big Church and sing............then you will seeeeeeee
Only a few basses are stars. I think when they are singing for the Lord thats the audience that matters most to them and using their gift he has given them for his service. We will never see eye to eye on this subject but that's fine. You have your opinion I have mine. Your from the old Gospel era I am from the new and what defines a bass singer is different now. I like the Old Gospel music and JD and George Younce are the only two from that time worth their hype.
Storms wants STAR status so much that he is willing to put himself out there with something that is utterly pitiful to try to attain it. So I guess this makes him some kind of Star but STAR of what?
Tim Storms said in an interview that his goal is not to hog the spot light.
I can't speak for the man but what I can say is If was no good NO ONE WOULD HIRE HIM Regardless of how low he can go. If your no good you don't sell tickets or CDs. Tim has always sang in group style music because he knows he fits better there .Low basses are used there. You just don't like his voice and that's perfectly fine with me but I do like his voice and so do many others so give the man a break.
Now that I do agree with!! I know people like that. I never said Storms was the be all to end all bass singers I just like his voice. , Tim Riley is my favorite bass singer. He may not sing in the frequency range but no one has his vocal power or clarity. Tim Riley can shake the rafters with remarkable clarity and volume.
@thebassmanadam i hate to get into the bass debate but i have to agree with you there Tim Riley imo is probably one of the most balanced bass singers i've heard. His bass is low but tame and like you said very clear. I do love the russian basso profundos too
One last thing, Tims record is 0.197Hz I believe. Just because he can do it doesn't make him a spotlight hogger. If you have a gift like that then go for the record!! He may not be Tim Riley or some of the other basses out there but he is far from terrible. If he was, he would not such an established singer and he surely would never of been hired back in the 90s by the extraordinary at the time Acappella Company. They only bring in the very best. Must say something for Tim's quality!
As someone else noted can he hit that note consistently? Can he do it without some special set-up? Can he use it in a song and do it even half way well?
I would say not. It is an occasional thing that he is trying to push.
He was hired as a curiosity to help get more interest in the group.
Tim Storms in 1995 was not noticed as anything other than another good bass singer. His record didn't occur till 2000! His time with Acappella is probably his best work to date. He was allowed to sing outside the deep bass and sang in the baritone range quite a bit as well. Notes as low he goes in this vids are only supposed to be used in group style not solo leads. This song was for nothing more than a crowd pleaser!
I would say Storms can hit that note whenever he wants or else he wouldn't just keep getting lower with age. I will never dispute the loss of musical quality down there because its in audible. No, you and I nor him can hear it without equipment. From all I read about what can be heard, the only thing that could hear him would be an elephant and that is just pointless but it doesn't change the fact he is a good singer once he is back on the keyboard.
Okay let him post a video of him hitting some super low note (8Hertz) in song with a regular set up and a good mic, mike, mikey, muckey, voice gatherer or what ever you want to call it and let us listen to it.
I may be stubborn but I am willing to change.
Since you two must be friends contact him and request this of him. I am sure he will be more than happy to do it.
I would say he is a prince of a guy and would want to set me and several others straight on this.
Anyone who thinks Tim storms can't sing has clearly never heard him sing much.
I will put together a compilation that will prove he is good..
To someone else who asked where the melody is, this song never had much melody. J.D. Sumner wrote it for the express purpose of singing the low notes and to all the JD fans who talk about Tim wanting the spot light. No one put themselves over more than JD!! and I love his music but facts are facts .Tim has never done that!!
It's also my opinion that most of these people who critique Tim so harshly and negatively are simply jealous. Why not be happy for someone's talent, skill, or gift instead of tearing them down. Not a very good display of wisdom or maturity to act in such a way. We all have our areas we need to grow in.
I am not jealous. I say what I say due to the FACT that people like Storms have some deep seated desire to try to be something they aren't. At least at this point in time. Not saying he won't be at the top someday but his attempts at it now is not good attempsts.
I find many of these postings amusing. Sounds like there are many self-appointed experts out there who think there opinions are facts. I would guess no one who has posted here can even come close to the talent that Tim has. He holds 2 Guinness records and broke his own record earlier this year for the lowest note. Tim Riley, Richard Sterban, and all those guys can't hold a candle to Tim Storms. Those guys are tremendously talented bass singers, no doubt, but Storms rocks! Just my opinion.
You need to back up and punt. You have no credibilty if you think just because he can make a low sound and make himself look goofy that he is ahead of the ones you named you need to listen to him instead of hearing him.
@gwpierce73 Take any accomplishment, embellish it into something that's debatable then post it for the world to view. Why wouldn't you expect people to give opinions, even negative opinions? Want facts? The record for lowest measured frequency is held by Roger Menees, not Tim Storms.
I think some people come on here and expect to hear these low pitches with a classically trained sound or some such, and to tell you the truth no one can do that. I haven't heard ANYONE do that below a G1 or an F1. Have you? At a certain point it's scientific more than anything else. The vibrations per second to sing these pitches won't allow for a classically trained sound. Now just enjoy folks. If you don't like it then move on. Many of us happen to enjoy hearing these pitches.
@randyjsing : Who expects any low bass to sing in a classically trained voice? Certainly not anyone that is familar with a bass voice down low.
Now Storms problem is he is attempting to do something he is not good at yet just like I have told you maybe a year or so ago. You are pushing someone that is a babe in the woods on this.
Instead of him learning to do this well he is starting off sounding pitiful trying to one up- manship the old timers and trying to focus the spotlight on him.
@LOTT458 He is not trying to sing "well" here, he is showing how low his voice can go,-- search-- Tim Storms Sings Eight Hertz on youtube--
If you were in the room during this song, you would feel the room vibrating. I saw him live once and it was the coolest thing, he only sang one song after that he just made 'noise' with his voice and it was amazing. there used to be a video on youtube of him doing a skit with all the noise acting like different things in the environment. It was very funny.
@pinkcw Not trying to sing well? Well it sure isn't difficult to deduce that now is it. He needs to try to do well whatever it is he is doing. He is just trying to be a ninty day wonder in a moment of spotlight .
ninety day wonder in a moment of spotlight. This man has been singing professionally since the early ninety's! To sing with the Acappella company you have to be good not average. Look up the vocal unions self titled project and listen to him sing This Old House or the second verse on Old Ship Of Zion or look up Acappella traditional, he sings on that too. He has been voted favorite bass many times in Branson Missouri for his work with Pierce Arrow. You don't get that nod if you suck!!
@LOTT458 I have to agree. Storms is presenting himself as a singer and that's how people will judge him. Now, I'm not saying the guy can't sing but every voice is subject to something called usable singing range and this sure isn't it.
Everyone thinks they know everything about his voice, how he's singing, and singing in general. Just accept that the guy is singing really low and move on. I've met Tim and heard him perform many times. He's a good guy that was given the talent to sing low.
when he hitsa really low, it just.. doesnt sound right :\ its like,... how do i put it, ima put it in numbers. you hear him go 10 8 6 4 2 then that last note down its like it doesnt make it all teh way. its a 1 instead of zero. ( if that makes sense ). This honestly didnt sound good to me at all. D:
When he hits the really low notes, it sounds like it hurts. And you can tell it's straining his voice because there's no vibrato when he goes down really low. That means that the vocal chords are being stressed and tightened rather than allowed to vibrate naturally, which is in essence bad for your voice (especially if you do it too often).

as explained, I'm not in it, like many other CAPABLE males (words, we pick and choose them for a reason) because I have not wasted years to sound terrible in a vocal register incapable of audial capacity without a microphone. And questioning my gender is just as provocative as anything I've said, welcome to your hypocrisy.

As far as I am concerned JD is the lowest ever.there is no album or recorded proof other than what is said on a piece of paper that Tim can sing lower than JD
There are tons of recordings that have JD singing to the end of the piano and off the end
His breathing is all wrong too.When was the last time you ever saw a bass like Tim Riley, or JD take those huge face distorting breaths
His low notes don't have the power JD's did either and remember,JD sang in a time before these special mics.
thebassmanadam 10 months ago
@thebassmanadam I agree. Hz is a raw physical measurement of a vibration. Nothing more, nothing less. Call something singing and the stakes are considerably higher. Transforming hz into comprehensible lyrics while executing proper phrasing ( on pitch of course ) is a far cry from merely attempting to sing. Storms is fine within the natural limits of his voice but no way is he the worlds lowest bass. JD, Tim Riley, Sterban and a couple of Vladimirs are easily exceeding him in actual song.
ChangsUncle 9 months ago
@thebassmanadam And as far as you're concerned, you're wrong. Surely you are smarter than this. Being the "lowest bass singer" simply means you sang the lowest vocal note ever confirmed in a song. You guys are so far up JD's ass, we would need a crane to pull you out. JD was an excellent bass singer for his time, yes. But to sit there and think that he can't ever be surpassed is just moronic of you. PDK already has him beat with his A-1 14 hz (contrary to popular belief as a C0)
beard295 2 weeks ago
@beard295
Producing a note Storms has everyone beat. I have the recording where PDK sings that note and its impressive but JD has gone lower. whatever the note is that is 4 keys lower than the piano.My problem with Tim is this,He has a rare gift yet doesn't showcase it or promote himself as the lowest like JD did.Where is Tims solo recording?where is his proof of his lowest notes on an album? This video with Rescue is the only time I know of he showed off some of his stuff.Real shame!

Where is the Triple C on the piano. i am pretty sure we only get Double notes not triples.

In this age of a million recording studios and the ability to buy your own sound board mixer and mics there should be tons of stuff with PDK and Storms showing what they got and doing what the fans demand like JD did.Show off what you got and let it be heard,what I said is why when using a bass as a measuring stick its JD used and not those 2.They are good they are just not in JDs league.i have seen many bass forums to make that statement accurately.

@beard295 An A1 would actually be 55Hz. If you want to talk about low notes, then Roger Menees has everyone beat. And as for being so far up JD's ass. Thats just rediculous. JD could sing lower than any of these other guys in chest voice by at least half an octave. PDK, Tim Storms, Dan Britton, Mike Holcolmb and Roger Menees could out " fry " JD any day of the week. But then again, you are the expert. What the hell do us dumb JD lovers know?
DJRanchIncorperated 2 weeks ago
@DJRanchIncorperated Mike Holcomb is a really good bass singer. And the question is not who sing lower.
PDK did a great job.
not always the lowest is the best.
JD is excellent,but George Younce,Riley and others are in the same standard.
For example,it ´s difficult to compare bass singers because everyone have their style and vocal range.The best is the quality!

@carlos010ify I could not agree with you more. George Younce and Tim Riley had and have a quality that JD, Mike Holcolm, Tim Storms and Paul David Kennamer could not even come close to. My point was simply that When it comes to singing true notes (no Vocal Fry) JD was truly lower than the others mentioned.
DJRanchIncorperated 2 weeks ago
@DJRanchIncorperated Did you even read my comment? I said A-1 (that's one octave below the A0), not A1. And just so you know, I have perfect pitch. Adam has stated before that he doesn't do piano or any pitching, which I do. I can tell you that PDK's C0-C1 slide is lower that any of JD's work. Now I love JD, Younce, Britton, Tim and many others, but give credit where credit is due and vice-verse. You're not smarter than I am with regard to this so stop acting like you are.

I can't speak for the man but what I can say is If was no good NO ONE WOULD HIRE HIM Regardless of how low he can go. If your no good you don't sell tickets or CDs. Tim has always sang in group style music because he knows he fits better there .Low basses are used there.

One last thing, Tims record is 0.197Hz I believe. Just because he can do it doesn't make him a spotlight hogger. If you have a gift like that then go for the record!! He may not be Tim Riley or some of the other basses out there but he is far from terrible. If he was, he would not such an established singer and he surely would never of been hired back in the 90s by the extraordinary at the time Acappella Company. They only bring in the very best. Must say something for Tim's quality!
thebassmanadam 1 year ago
@thebassmanadam
As someone else noted can he hit that note consistently? Can he do it without some special set-up? Can he use it in a song and do it even half way well?
I would say not. It is an occasional thing that he is trying to push.
He was hired as a curiosity to help get more interest in the group.
LOTT458 1 year ago
@LOTT458
Tim Storms in 1995 was not noticed as anything other than another good bass singer. His record didn't occur till 2000! His time with Acappella is probably his best work to date. He was allowed to sing outside the deep bass and sang in the baritone range quite a bit as well. Notes as low he goes in this vids are only supposed to be used in group style not solo leads. This song was for nothing more than a crowd pleaser!
thebassmanadam 1 year ago
Respond to this video...
I would say Storms can hit that note whenever he wants or else he wouldn't just keep getting lower with age. I will never dispute the loss of musical quality down there because its in audible. No, you and I nor him can hear it without equipment. From all I read about what can be heard, the only thing that could hear him would be an elephant and that is just pointless but it doesn't change the fact he is a good singer once he is back on the keyboard.
thebassmanadam 1 year ago
@thebassmanadam
Okay let him post a video of him hitting some super low note (8Hertz) in song with a regular set up and a good mic, mike, mikey, muckey, voice gatherer or what ever you want to call it and let us listen to it.
I may be stubborn but I am willing to change.
Since you two must be friends contact him and request this of him. I am sure he will be more than happy to do it.
I would say he is a prince of a guy and would want to set me and several others straight on this.
LOTT458 1 year ago
@thebassmanadam
I've followed gospel music since the mid 60's and never heard of Apcapella until this Storms thing. See why they hired him.
Smart move on their part but bad on his trying to set a record with something we can't hear without a special set up.
As had been said before he could keep his mouth closed and set the final record before now with 0Hertz which would have been better.
LOTT458 1 year ago
Anyone who thinks Tim storms can't sing has clearly never heard him sing much.
I will put together a compilation that will prove he is good..
To someone else who asked where the melody is, this song never had much melody. J.D. Sumner wrote it for the express purpose of singing the low notes and to all the JD fans who talk about Tim wanting the spot light. No one put themselves over more than JD!! and I love his music but facts are facts .Tim has never done that!!

Tim Riley, Richard Sterban, and all those guys can't hold a candle to Tim Storms. Those guys are tremendously talented bass singers, no doubt, but Storms rocks! Just my opinion.

I think some people come on here and expect to hear these low pitches with a classically trained sound or some such, and to tell you the truth no one can do that. I haven't heard ANYONE do that below a G1 or an F1. Have you? At a certain point it's scientific more than anything else. The vibrations per second to sing these pitches won't allow for a classically trained sound. Now just enjoy folks. If you don't like it then move on. Many of us happen to enjoy hearing these pitches.

@randyjsing : Who expects any low bass to sing in a classically trained voice? Certainly not anyone that is familar with a bass voice down low.
Now Storms problem is he is attempting to do something he is not good at yet just like I have told you maybe a year or so ago. You are pushing someone that is a babe in the woods on this.
Instead of him learning to do this well he is starting off sounding pitiful trying to one up- manship the old timers and trying to focus the spotlight on him.

@LOTT458 He is not trying to sing "well" here, he is showing how low his voice can go,-- search-- Tim Storms Sings Eight Hertz on youtube--
If you were in the room during this song, you would feel the room vibrating. I saw him live once and it was the coolest thing, he only sang one song after that he just made 'noise' with his voice and it was amazing. there used to be a video on youtube of him doing a skit with all the noise acting like different things in the environment. It was very funny.

When he hits the really low notes, it sounds like it hurts. And you can tell it's straining his voice because there's no vibrato when he goes down really low. That means that the vocal chords are being stressed and tightened rather than allowed to vibrate naturally, which is in essence bad for your voice (especially if you do it too often).
