He has about two octaves of clear tone. Powerful lows. He is not only a bass, but an exceptionally good one... Those debating range, etc... You do realize the classifications only exist so that composers for musicals, opera, etc... can write a specific peace for a target two octave range. Many pro singers apply dynamics of falsetto, vocal fry and can clear about 3 octaves making their voices harder to classify.
So, I think I'm a baritone but I'm not sure. My lowest note is a (strained) G1, my highest belt is a C5 (though I can belt a mixed D5), and my highest note overall is a B6 in whistle (I've gotten a C7 before but can't do it consistently).
Any ideas on what my classification might be? Some people have said tenor but I doubt a tenor could hit a G1, even if they were reaching.
@BlondeSinger21 I've had operatic training, I'd say from the sounds of things you are a high baritone with an impressive whistle register. Now I'm a tenor but I am to hit as low as a C-0 (not bragging just saying) every voice is different, don't hit those low low or high high notes if they're not needed the main notes you'll want is anything from Bb1 to G#4 those are the main notes people tend to go for if I'm correct =) So yeah, you're a high baritone
@BlondeSinger21 I guess it depends on your range and what register you normally sing in. My range is relatively wide (Bb1-C5, not bragging) but I sing in a pretty low register, so I would be considered a low baritone. But based on this, I'd say you're a low tenor.
Its actually not that difficult. I'm 16 and can sing his low notes, and my regular speaking voice isn't even that low. It took a lil practice tho like maybe a few days.
watch?v=lFk2a-e0RYQ In this clip, he have trouble in htting B1 and his B1 is not powerful even if he sing with microphone. it means he is a baritone or bass-baritone. he never be a basso profondo.
Hate to break it to some people, but his low notes are around 90% frytone:/ he has an amazing voice, his frytone is incredible, but it's not all his regular voice.
The only reason his voice is that low is because he smokes. So don't get jealous, guys. I would sound like that too with a year or two of smoking, so don't sweat it.
Josh is deffinetly NOT a baritone. Basso Profondo (Lowes kind of voice in western music) goes to a D2 while he easily goes to G1 live. He´s an Octavist, the lowest voice there is singing one octave below the bassline (hence the name). They´re selldom heard outside the orthodox churches of Russia.
@zeekguy43 a simple exercise for low notes, starts high and then go low, repeat a few times a day and you will get used, voice changes constantly, you have to have patience
@NUJKY1 HAHA, for once....somebody that actually stated an exercise thats true....and that I do. even though Low isn't the way I'm working my voice, I'm trying to eliminate my break to hit higher notes. but thanks though.
@zeekguy43 Well, I am 36 and sing and pretty much have the exact range of Josh Turner. Although everbody who hears me demands a Crash Test Dummies song, lol! Anyway, practicing singing low only helps a little. That deep resonating voice cannot be trained. Impossible! I'm lucky to have it and trust me, if it were possible to train your voice to be deep, all of my buddies would have a voice like mine. I'm not trying to be arrogant but just be who you are. Not everone gives a shit about a low voice
@bottomfeeder73 very true indeed, I don't really work my lower range alot, just as more of giving my voice a little break. and I belive different, I believe it could be trined cause I have seen it happen but hey, we all believe differently and I don;t discriminate you for believein different than I do, were 2 different people, were going to believe differently and thts just life. but yeah, I usually try to increase my voice higher, not lower. you have a good point though.
@bottomfeeder73 Well, most people DO have Vocal Fry (the lower notes are sang using this voice) the only thing is they dont know how to use it. The same goes to Whistle Voice, almost everyone can sing really high notes but most people dont know how to access it. :D But i agree with you, me, I have 7 octaves but I dont like singing low cuz I prefer singing soft ballads and those require higher notes. Each person needs to find the music that matches them and sing it with their unique voice :)
@turtles12 Well, I suppose that's all personal preference. As far as feeling sorry for me? Don't! LOL! It really does get me a lot of attention, whether or not I want it.
@bottomfeeder73 That's right, not everyone gives a shit about a low voice, I have one and I used to be really frustraded cause I can't sing almost any of man songs in pop, soul, blues, and rock. And low notes don't impress as much as high notes. So I just sing Sinatra songs, cause is what actually fits my tone and range.
I can sing down to the same pitches, but (and this is my ONLY criticism of him) I can actually "sing" at the B1. The rule I follow is that if you can't make words, it's not singing. Neither the G1, or really even the A1 count as "in his range" because he's just growling. Still much better than most however, and while most of his power is in his baritone, I'll call him a bass because there aren't any in modern music. And BTW, that's not "Head voice" it's falsetto. Head voice is totally different.
I'm sitting here with my little brothers laughing, because his voice is so low!!!! Gosh!!! Haha :D
