A Cappella Academy Sample Audition Video

[@Soulxjoy]

Things I learned from this video: 1) how to apply to a cappella Academy 2) Avi's range is impeccable! Holy crap!

[@BrittanyFilion]

YOUR VOCAL RANGE IS INCREDIBLE

[@Oberkobold]

Guys, he can actually go MUCH LOWER than that... It's really impressive.

[@christopherzhang1113]

Ikr! He once broke the mic on stage because he went to low!

[@muzctch]

christopher zhang Did that mic actually break because of Avi singing so low? I know they were all joking around and saying that, but I didn't know if it was what actually happened.

[@christopherzhang1113]

search it up!!!

[@zTEXASBOYSX]

He can go to A1 in chest voice, and he sung the C above it in the video

[@osvaldaslt1585]

He sings lower than Adele can roll... Old joke but never dying

[@PhireJoy]

who else wouldve been more than happy to just sit and listen to all the scale he cut out?

AVI. YOUR RANGE. HOW IS THAT EVEN HUMANLY POSSIBLE

[@DontHoldYourChops]

Because he's not human. He's a god!!!

[@RobertStoll]

Because he is just that good.

[@KhoiMVo]

earworms and beatles Robert Stoll DontHoldYourChops I suggest you guys check out Tim Foust of Home Free, from the latest season of the Sing-Off!

[@RobertStoll]

Ya, I've probobly been missing a whole lot from it. I stopped watching after I saw a rapapella (lazy genre) getting so far in the competition last season.

[@MCJordan201]

Khoi Vo not as good as avi

[@arctikstorm]

I dare anyone here to look directly into his eyes while wearing surround headphones and not melt like chocolate in a hot pan.

[@Friek555]

Don't need any surround headphones, they're a ripoff and KZbin is only stereo anyway

[@bubblyx9194]

I can do it

[@SamuraiMasenko]

***** KZbin's flash player supports 5.1 channel output, and I think they now support quadraphonic output with the html5 player. And even if not, you can always apply an active virtual surround effect for use with stereo headphones. Surround headsets may be overpriced more often than not, but a good quality 5.1+ channel headset is very useful for producing music that contains very low frequencies and for more immersive gaming experiences. Also they're comfortable as fuck.

[@selinasmusic]

***** trying

[@sixprototypemakerv2909]

Too late. I'm already a puddle of hot chocolate

[@lindijohnson5679]

Avi why you so talented?!?!?!?

[@Jacki6661]

And here we see a wild Avi in his natural habit.... Yep there he is being perfect as usual. Avis are well-known for such behavior.

I want it too =/

[@dawnbargerreppert2144]

Something about Avi just draws me to him. I love his deep voice, and his handsome charm. Keep up the singing Avi :-)

[@youaremypotato89]

Welcome to the Avilicious

[@SUPERCRAZYIDEAS]

Avi is amazing. I just respect him so much. But can you imagine seeing mitch's version of this? Scales going up would be crazy!

[@gabrielfranco7707]

if I'm not wrong he(mitch) has 5octaves *-* and I agree with you,avi is amazing *o*

[@leightkd9311]

Okay how are we as 62 Pentaholics going to make this audition tape of Mitch's happen??

[@Wikibig]

Or both of them at the same time, Avi going low and Mitch going high :DDD

[@razrv3lc]

Gabriel Franco Mitch doesn't have 5 octaves. If you're counting his "whistle" notes, you shouldn't. They aren't true whistles (he's said that he just inhales and squeaks) and you generally wouldn't count whistles as part of the range because some people can hit high whistle notes but can't sing some that are lower and it's super disconnected. You have to actually be able to sing the note and it be usable for it to be part of your range.

[@youaremypotato89]

mitch's scales going up, that will explode my head

[@tionahjohns2306]

"Makes wretched dinosaur noises bc perfection"

[@FernandoTirado1]

I was hoping that he'd unleash his overtones haha

[@leightkd9311]

I'm a little surprised he didn't, since he did some beatboxing there with it. That seemed kind of like the special skills section of a resume lol

[@camrynramsey7535]

That little voice crack when he goes high 😍👌

[@adequatecrustacean8992]

Actually, that’s the point where he switches from chest voice to head voice 🤩

im laughing you dont know who i am

[@virgilkelly4149]

That moment when a bass singer can sing higher than you.AND YOU'RE A SOPRANO!

[@sasmadra]

..Must have poor range for a Soprano.

[@virgilkelly4149]

I can't go very high. I can go scary low for a girl. My teacher recently moved me to Alto, though, truth be told, I could sing with the Basses.

[@sasmadra]

Haha, sound like teacher error then! Alto is a fine fit, but depending on your voice..You may constitute a female tenor. I'd love to hear your voice sometime so I can get a feel for myself; I met a female bass at a few honors choirs I went to.

[@sunny.deviant]

Sydney Kelly, if he can sing higher than you either, you're a first soprano, OR you're an alto.

[@jordanlp02]

You aren't a bass Sydney. I watched your audition and you are definitely not a bass.

[@tneashahcoy-pinnock9924]

Oh Gosh... Avi, your voice is so perfect.

[@prasetyoadiwibowo490]

what i like from a capella is that you don't need complicated and big instruments to perform.

[@jadduck]

Yes, but I'd say that the compilation of many voices that each compliment every other voice in the A Capella band/group is a lot more complicated than playing a big instrument.

[@cressafrederick1755]

I'm just here because of Avi...

[@ashura4627]

You're not alone :'3

[@pascalestar8637]

very not alone XD :3

[@tristanroque4569]

Same

[@teebabyyy8]

Same

[@cocozhang6695]

Same 😂

[@dylanl2953]

Avis range in this video is a C2 -D4 in pure chest. Then Eb 4 all the way to a E5 in head voice/ falsetto. So in total his range is an eargasmic 3 octaves and 2 notes.

[@yyyy1885]

Huh? The highest chest note is Eb4 here. And he only goes to B4.

[@foreverstay2126]

Avi's lowest note is D1, and his highest note is C#5, which means that his vocal range is four octaves, six tones, and one semitone.

[@foreverstay2126]

I had to go find it again, but Avi hits a D1 in the background of Rose Gold.

[@ErynIstar]

are you sure it wasnt him using GROWL TECHNIQUE

[@MultiKamil97]

Dragonchick101 It's not chest!

[@obsessedwithpentatonix1725]

[@zozohastie]

Seeing Avi beatbox is weird xD He's amazing :D

[@j0j0748]

Holy crap.. that vocal range though.. mine is sooo small!

[@JuliahAish]

He did use falsetto on the high notes...

[@martinvasilev9440]

***** ye but he controls it very well though

[@jordanlp02]

A lot of that was falsetto, but, as a bass, that falsetto was so dang good.

OMG, Avi's future children have it made! They get to inherit his good looks, AND they have that voice singing them to sleep at night..

[@trinkab]

So awesome in SO many ways! Congrats Avi! I know this has been your dream for a long time and it is terrific to see dreams come true!! So many kids will benefit from this! :) (what were your lowest and highest scales, btw?)

[@meganmatheson4280]

Avi is seriously my favourite person in this world 😍😍😍😍

[@JAC0B_BASS]

Wow your voice is so heavy! This greasy and round voice on low notes omg. If you had moved your larynx down you would sing this low C aswell. Amazing bass voice.

[@SolennBreizh]

It's a dream to see yours coming true ! Congrats Avi, and thank you so much for sharing your talent with so much Love !

[@naaziawilliams7773]

I didn't even know Avi can go up that high!

[@Ria-ij2vh]

Damn now I want him to do a cover of "wake me up"

[@HumbleFreeloaders]

So if we're auditioning, does that mean we have to sing, like do all the steps, because what i do is beatboxing, does that mean i only do a beatbox, or do i have to do like portion of a song, etc?

[@sarahantell5273]

Well, I think it would be wise to, you know, sing. At least a little. To show versatility.

[@jhowe67]

Kevin is the percussion for pentatonix, but in their song "Run to you" he sings throughout the entire song. just because you may think you are only good at beat boxing, doesn't mean you are not a good singer as well.

[@SAubreeJackson]

If I was young enough I would totally audition! Your range is amaze-balls btw!

[@dommybomb]

waiting for tht "scales goin up." be like...damn Avi!!!!

[@rolandballentos6967]

[@fingolfin369]

Stop saying his lowest note is E1, it's A1 (a very deep note anyway), below it he uses growl and vocal fry.

[@69Cil]

Jack Ripper it's G#1. but yeh you're right none of the growl/fry counts. google search avi kaplan lowest chest note, in a video he says he can sing a low a, when he demonstrates it, he sings a G#1, slides up to A1

[@rhoachh]

No he hit an F1 once

[@ericaswartz940]

Very sad that I cannot audition... I have other things to attend that are very important. A Capella is very important to me, but so is playing my instrument and being in the marching band at my highschool. I know this is three years ago, but thank you for being such an inspiration to me Avi and the rest of pentatonix.

[@vasilisafrolova4758]

Holy chiz his range... My range barely a couple octaves his is like 10 octaves. Well... guess I'm just not born to be a singer lol...

[@nickzakos271]

You can have just 2 octaves and still be a good singer; it's not all about range.

[@vasilisafrolova4758]

I guess that's true... But I'm not exactly a good singer either so...

[@YabuddyFilms]

Lol

[@JuliahAish]

He used falsetto in the high notes

[@raseon7483]

His lowest chest note to highest falsetto note is 3 Octaves and 5 notes :)

[@jhowe67]

holy crap, i just found out i can sing just about as low as avi! this is a major breakthrough in my life that i shall now celebrate.

[@soimboredandtesting]

he can go lower

[@adamwilkinson4264]

soimboredandtesting He can go MUCH lower

[@jhowe67]

Adam Wilkinson he can go down to about an A1 using throat singing. but his chest voice is this low.

[@adamwilkinson4264]

jhowe67 The lowest I saw was an Eb1, which is the lowest he goes in actual music videos

[@beckygibbs88]

You know, I really don't like country music. But, if you're singing it, I think I could probably grow very fond of it. Your range is fucking insane by the way.
