Small clip (c. 14 sec) of my vocal fry practice. Lowest note is somewhere in Sub-Contra Octave...

Update January 18th 2008:

You can also listen to my whistle tone (highest C#8, maybe, not sure) and speaking in very high falsetto voice (F#6 and lower).

Update September 7th 2007:
You can also listen to my morning voice - recorded right after I woke up (about two weeks ago) - where I go down to 5 Hz (or less) and then jump up to soprano-c (which sounds really bad ;-))

  • To hit my low notes, I drop my larynx. I can do a bit of vocal fry, but it's small.

    Have you ever tried using vocal fry on high notes? It's a great way to get distortion.

  • Sometimes, I have to press (gently) my larynx down to get low notes (such as C2), but you lose overtones with that so I do not recommend it. But then again, I am not a bass singer neither a low voice.

    Kids are great with vocal fry, I think that is commonly used to get distortion effect. In my opinion, men use distortion in high notes to hide the fact that they sound like girls... ;-)

  • I have never known... is it exhaled or inhaled???

  • I don't know, I just do it...

  • The 5 hz to Soprano C was the funniest vocal thing I've ever heard. Sounds like a drum, and a mouse or creeky wheel. 5/5 for that alone. I think you have a good sense of humor, and from your other videos, I know that your voice normally sounds great (within modal registers). What is your voice type? Bass, Tenor or Baritone?

  • You got the point! Some people take this too seriously.

    It seems that I'm a tenor with a low extension. Remains to be seen...

  • liftin ur tongue to the roof of ur mouth opens ur throat up more for low notes as well. :)

  • wow.. we did that when we were kids just to annoy my parents

  • I still don't get exhale )=

    Inhale is just so much easier

  • I am trying to learn both, then you could make 1 hell of a long scream if you practice the transitions.

  • that scares me O.O

  • well i guess it could be done both ways but i do my vocal fry exhaled .
