Guys! Hit me up with some Avi and Kevin video requests. I really want to try to do more for them!

[@misscheetah3940]

Meat&Potato moments ?

[@babyhoneyb2584]

a compilation of kevin laughing would be incredible.

Already done

[@TheCowardlyPaladin]

Person: "It's impossible to sing multiple notes at once." Avi: "One sec, hold my beer."

[@provocunt8673]

Person must have no idea of the human voice

[@rileyridgway7362]

Hold my beerd!

[@Gabrielmari395]

Provocunt ! Yeah lol, it’s quite easy to learn, but I can’t do as clear as him

[@d3athreaper100]

Too bad this form of singing is thousands of years old and this is nothing special

[@adelaide7890]

I just made the like count not 666 because of how funny this is

[@_katie_d]

WHEN THE HECK DID HE SWALLOW A DIDGERIDOO?!?!

Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah

^ best comment ever!

[@sierralvx]

It's like a fucking sci-fi sound effect! Is he even fucking human?!?

[@lilyflower1440]

Sierra LVX The answer to that my friend.......... is no. Lol.

[@kiel2037]

he is fucking but not human.

[@tarakenobi8622]

Sierra LVX no!!!!!! HE'S A FUCKING ANGEL 😇

[@ejanocrowsnatcher6785]

THats why they used it in "ET" XXD hes epic

[@elizabethgiles7484]

Sierra LVX it’s not hard to learn. Once your vocal chords get used to it, it’ll get rly loud

[@PtxXtp]

How did the judges never comment on his overtones on the sing off?

[@chloee2093]

Cuz they're sneaky? I didn't notice before...

[@ejanocrowsnatcher6785]

THEY DID! Well actually.. i guess not. But at one point they thought PTX was cheating (ok well not seriously). When Avi did it the first time it looked like Kevin was making the noise and Shawn Stockman (judge) said "yo I swear yall are cheating or something" I feel like it must've been discussed some point backstage! How could they not right?

[@natanaelsantos2827]

I don't even think they realized what it was.

[@yamichan9249]

+ejano Crowsnatcher when they're so good they think they're cheating xD

[@richjones6067]

They did

[@kelseyhendricks1784]

I have two things to say: 1) AVI IS SO TALENTED ONFJEBFIKBSJDFBJHD 2) Kirstie's little smile at the end when she heard Avi do his overtones melted my heart

[@lilyflower1440]

Lily Avatea my profile pic might have to agree 😂

[@lilyflower1440]

[@nxkoetic5063]

Don't you just love it when you listening to Avi's overtones and suddenly you get teleported onto a mother alien inhabited planet.

[@ThePi314Man]

His bass overtone singing sounds alien.

[@okayaki7567]

When I attempt to do it, it just sounds like "RHEEEEEEERHEEEEERHEEEEE" It doesn't sound like an overtone at all. 😂

[@markpagtama7954]

OkayAki use your tounge bro

[@walkerkennett940]

Believe it or not it’s just mainly your touge that does it.

[@ZsaZsaUmbra]

All good advice ^ also try recording yourself. You might be doing it and just can't hear it yet. It's almost as if you have to train you ears to hear it.

[@bexyPTX]

J. H. Good for you. Someone tried to teach it to a group I was in at one point and I didn't get it at all.

[@jamesevan3975]

Can I still do it if I'm tongue tied? (If you don't know what it is just google it) I can hear it but I can't get louder

[@chloee2093]

☹️so jealous

[@user-do6yo9br4r]

That shit's scary... I love Avi even more now

[@icantthinkofagoodname1838]

lol i love the way he holds his imaginary flute! Dude is an alien I swear.

[@ItsThatGirlNamedAlex]

My baby sounds like a damn Didgeridoo...I love it! Haha! Thanks for another awesome video, Tori! :)

[@PTXVideos]

He's definitely not human! Hahaha :D You're absolutely welcome!

[@sagebrown9903]

[@JimCole1]

Glad you put these clips together. Especially enjoyed the one of Avi pretending to hold a flute. Would love to hear him with a group of overtone singers.

[@starryminyoongi7309]

It's so fucking weird because you have to focus to hear everything and it's like you can see the notes in front of your eyes/inside you head when he does his overtone singing.

[@ryley1288]

Ayna BOOP BOOP I was just gonna say that

[@misscheetah3940]

This is creepy lol 😂😂😂

[@JimCole1]

mitch's #1 - yes indeed, and that is often what the singer experiences also.

[@sersastark]

That's called synesthesia, honey lol

[@Thysillyone1]

Dude... I agree

[@TheCowardlyPaladin]

His Lion Sleeps Tonight always gives me chills.

[@annarileycovers7170]

Everyone can overtone, but HIS overtones are really amazing and good trained. Respect!!!

[@marianneday6659]

This never hesitates to fuck me up

[@veda2423]

i can overtone too but its just amazing how he gets his so loud???

[@bobbymcgee8990]

Veda Doe yea, I'm learning it too, but his is just?? So impressive???

[@lisaross2368]

Try folding your tongue back. That’s one way to make it louder.

[@KaoXoni]

How He gets this so loud: #1 focus. Once you have the overtone, hear it, keep that sweet spot, just hone in on the fine tuning. Keep the volume of your ostinato steady, but fixate on the overtone, sense the exact location in your mouth where the vibration ist tickling, zoom in there and you can exoect the overtone intensity to rise. #2 Feedback/practice. Play around frequently, just make it a habit to calibrate the overtone whenever you sing any vowel, which is all the time. Just a different sweet spot for each vowel on each note. Practice to hold it on sliding scales. Practice to catch it as you sneak up on a tone. Practice to hit it right from the beginning. Practice to keep an overtone in each note of a phrase. permutate overtones on a steady key. Do it just for fun, because you are in the bathroom or in the subway tube, because you can. Simply get used to it.

[@catsdontbelongontheroof3258]

It kinda sounds like the music in the background of Poppy videos

[@cthulhu2478]

I think he has an extra organ hidden somewhere. The fact you can hear it over all other note even when 3 other people are singing loud is astonishing. I'm so happy for his solo carrere and wish him the best ❤️

[@ashleycraiglozada2550]

mongolian people: that's my boi

[@hectorpacheco5154]

The first video is like a kid in classs showing off his weird talent to the class and nobody understands it

[@estrellacabanlit]

I agreee. Hahahahah!!

[@SomeGuy-pc9fh]

You know the overtone singing avi does is actually quite easy to learn. If u search up a tutorial, u can easily produce the overtone in 10mins. I say that but getting to a more advanced level where u can control the overtone like Avi takes much more practice

[@ckgamingvlogs7050]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="155">2:35</a> avi's face lol

[@sjbrandt5792]

Avi is such an inspiring singer and person! thank you so much for making this!

[@kyleenicole7611]

i never noticed it in et and dog days wow

[@hopestallion6522]

I think some of these notes count as whistle notes... New title for the video: *Avi can hit whistle notes now! Not click bait!*

[@americanwwhore]

Hope Stallion It’s not technically a whistle regisyer

[@erinrobinson8199]

Hope Stallion I think it’s just the air really. Just the way it’s passing through his mouth cause you have to position your tongue in a certain way to do it. So it’s not really in your throat like a whistle.

[@autumninterludemusic]

its cuz your tongue changes the shape of your mouth and throat and that changes the way the sounds resonate and how overtones blend

[@jhustingreame8377]

No it's not whistle register, overtones are very different from a whistle tonw.

[@jennazacher4884]

Omg Avi can be a yoga intruster with the yeoyoooooyeooooooo. I will leave now

[@emo6577]

Another thing to love about Avi? This made my day ten times better

[@ameliat.6027]

Wow idk why but I never knew that he could do that

[@BloomingFields]

Nobody: Avi: eeeeerrrrrooooooeeeerr

[@dark_star9319]

i was there for the one at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="106">1:46</a>! that was a workshop he did at UT in Tennessee! a truly amazing and talented fellow.

[@michacz9415]

G3, also sung with G6, A6 and B6. Incredible!

[@KaoXoni]

Only bass singers have that many audible overtones at their disposal.

[@Hscaper]

I'm glad they played the tryouts, I didn't think anyone noticed that, lol

[@princetzl5533]

When u realise hes "singing" in the jungle in the second vid

[@tipofday]

I grew up with a show called "That's Incredible"... and Avi's voice techniques definitely would've gotten him on the show. The overtones and of course his deep bass singing voice. Amazing!

[@jannabiklt]

too bad he leaves the group, and I think there is no coming back as they replaced him for them to keep pushing and living as a PTX.

[@melissaq8854]

He left because of the intense schedule and never having a break. Im sure if he wanted to join them for a set rhey would welcome him with open arms

[@nataliastamatiou1675]

I love you for that video, i needed some Avi right now

[@tia2461]

This and more is the reason why I love him~ I always love his overtones!

[@KaoXoni]

Yup. I'm a sucker for bass (or baritone) silver. It goes right to my core.

[@maryannmaryann1180]

I really love this man! 😍💕

[@yootofficial1831]

this is great for meditating

[@assassinscreedkiddo6660]

he is a legend of bass

[@zoey3333]

A legend

[@magalifernandez323]

The overtone in Aha! :D

[@fatguy338]

Fun fact, every time you sing you're singing a bunch of notes above the fundamental one you hear, they're just quieter. What avi's doing is changing the shape of his mouth to amplify certain pitches.

[@hyzisles5786]

OMYGOD MY AVI IS SUPER DUPER GREAT OH GOD I MISS YOU AVIIIIIIIIIIII 😭❤

[@will5713]

Missing Avi 😭😢

overtones do not take alot of air just controlled air

This kind of singing is so interesting.

[@OrianaDiazL]

How are overtones possible? I don't understand how they're produced...it's so amazing.

[@w0rmg0rl]

Oriana Çizmeci Díaz they're produced by shaping your mouth and throat in a certain way while singing! producing them is actually not that hard, the difficult part is getting them loud and controlling the pitch.

[@OrianaDiazL]

​@@w0rmg0rlI'm here again and yes, finally I can produce overtones 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I just need to practice more so that my overtones can have more intensity... To amplify the sound...

[@lillegitimate]

it's 3 am, you walk to your kitchen to hear a ominous noise radiating from inside your kitchen, you look and see a disgruntled figure walking backward at you, he is 7 feet tall and oddly disproportionate , you try to run but it's too late, he's already reaching mach 4 speeds, the figure grabs you and pins you against the floor, still making the overtone noise, he stops and say "____"

Honestly overtone stuff is hard. But it takes practices.
