i just noticed at 0:31 they misspelled his name

every thing has a self resonance and creating a sonic wave of exactly that resonance can break everything...people should understand that the astonishing is not a certain high note but the ability to reach exactly that resonance...

@Icyveins906 I might be wrong on this last point, it's just my opinion, but don't tell me about physics stuff, I've had enought of it (passed with 27/30 ;) )

@Icyveins906 I actually "know my facts" since I study physics. What you said is correct but I don't see where the good-singing part comes in... as I said, all you need to do is hit the "resonating frequence" of the glass (I don't know the exact translation). Of course it takes some skill to do so but I think being a good singer and being able to break glasses are quite unrelated things: one doesn't necessarily imply/require the other.

@tookatooka456710 He goes back right after the speaker and does it with just his voice :P god does no one actually watch the episodes?

@FlamingoSnuff Start with higher notes than C# and work your way down. Anything F and higher will break much more easily due to structural tensions and resonant wave natures I'm sure you'd rather I not explain. If you can, in falsetto, maintain a very resonant, full-bodied F, you have a voice capable of breaking glass. I've broken a few around G G#.

@dars2607 On the contrary, being able to break glass means you have extremely good pitch control, support, and resonance, all qualities of a GOOD singer. Now, when training for this, go in small steps so you don't injure your vocal apparatuses. Too much volume too soon will strain your vocal cords and folds, sometimes forming nodes which require surgical removal.

@kragle2008 He then breaks one without the speaker :P Please go watch the episode.

[Icyveins906]

@mattoita Incorrect...without the resonance and depth in your voice to raise the amplitude and get the sound wave form to match with the the structural vibration wave of the glass, you won't get very far. Believe me, shattering higher glasses is easier because it becomes a more uniform wave as frequency increases and amplitude decreases. The lower glasses like the C# in the mythbusters video border on the impossible due to the wave nature and elasticity of the material. Learn your facts please.
