Chris Rupp Vocal Range (G#1-G#5)

It's that one guy who founded Home Free but then left to pursue his solo career but then founded 7th Ave and now we're not quite sure what he does: Chris Rupp! Though Chris is often left to carry the backing vocals whenever he's singing, he has proven over the years to have quite a spectacular vocal range, which I felt the need to display through this video. Enjoy! Shoutouts to The Range Place for providing much of the information used for this video!

I have decided that, in order to ensure the validity of my vocal range videos, I will make a thread under each video listing corrections whenever a mistake is brought to my attention. CORRECTION LIST:

[@dylan_5]

1:05 Bass line sung by Tim, not Chris.

1:29 Bass line sung by Tim, not Chris.

You know a bass singer is incredible when they can sing higher than a baritone. (Tim's A5 - bass, Chris's G#5 - baritone)

[@VLoveTarot]

Chris is great. Thanks for putting these clips together. I reacted to this.

[@molassascookieman4596]

Wait... this whole time I thought Tim just recorded himself twice whenever he had a solo... Chris was actually singing bass? They sound exactly the same down low!

[@dylan_5]

Adam Letsch Tim actually does still sing bass in all of those instances (except All About That Bass for whatever reason). I'll probably do another video at some point addressing the inaccuracies in this video.

[@nightspicer]

in videos it is usually Tim that sings the bass, but in the live shows it's Chris

[@TheCIB64]

Good video! FYI - Chris himself has said that usually in the Home Free recordings, when Tim is singing lead, he is almost always singing the bass line also. So checking out live videos of Home Free concerts or just sticking to Chris' solo, or 7th Ave content might help with your accuracy.

[@GeeMinorFifthPodcast]

As a low baritone myself, it impresses me whenever I see other baritone vocal ranges that are this expansive; let alone that freakishly low for baritones. Bb1, contrary to what people think, is freakishly low for the average guy haha. I wonder if he trained to get lower or if he was just born with it... I've talked to high baritones/baritenors who have told me both of those things.. Some trained while others kind of had it. Anyway, yeah I won't point out what others have already said with the notes and whatnot... Keep up the good work, the video itself did a decent job of displaying Rupp's range.

@@deanmarion5477 range is irrelevant, I'm comfortable in the low baritone area and that's where my voice naturally sits when I speak.

@@deanmarion5477 plus why does my range matter so much to you anyway?

[@ginjax5104]

i think him and chance are about equal in terms of roles in the group because adam definitely takes up the bass mantle better when tim sings lead but i think chris has a better upper chest range and falsetto register which makes him a more versatile lead imo both great singers that i hope i could someday come close to being as technically solid as

[@deanmarion5477]

What a vocal range. 🤤

[@s.vidhyardhsingh3881]

He sings bass!!!?!?!??? What!!!!!! 🤯

[@willrhodarmer1692]

Great video!

[@nadivkaspi6211]

1:05 thats Tim... Even though he is singing lead in that song, they still record him on Bass. If they did it live, then it would be chris, but they dont do this song live. 1:30 is also Tim

[@dylan_5]

Nadiv Kaspi Correct. This video is highly inaccurate and will likely be updated at some point in the future. 😂

[@annefrank8619]

1:32 is Chris

[@bazzmusic4952]

@@annefrank8619 yes!

[@zollykod2541]

Chris is naturally a tenor but can sing bass as well as extend in the falsetto range :-).

[@BluevesPL]

naturally he is a baritone in my opinion

[@zollykod2541]

I beg to differ, Nicolas - he is most definitely a tenor. Voice type is not only classified by range but also the colour of the voice.

[@BluevesPL]

Here you are right, but if he is a tenor, but can sing both as tenor and bass, is it well to call him a tenor? ;p

[@zollykod2541]

Yes, it is, because (as I said above) of the general colour and tone of his voice. Classification is not only by range of notes. I'm a mezzo but can sing down in the alto range very happily - but my voice isn't as dark as a true contralto.

[@BluevesPL]

I would like to hear you :) I am singing as bass, sometimes in choir, it depends on time, but colour of my voice is rather a Barritone. But i wouldnt call myself a barritone, same with Chris.In my opinion he is a barritone with tenor colour :)

[@calebcooper2841]

wow my chest range: F#1-D5 ( 3 octaves 8 notes) full range: C0-Eb6 (6 octaves 3 notes) voice type: bass

[@deanmarion5477]

What a vocal range

[@alebormio4842]

So what his lowest chest note is Bb1? Can’t hear it, Iike say the C2 at 1:00

[@dylan_5]

The alleged Bb1 in this video is actually an Eb2 and a Bb2, but Bb1 is his lowest chest note.

[@alebormio4842]

@@dylan_5 where did he hit a chest Bb1 then?

[@alebormio4842]

@@dylan_5 PS is him at 1:00?

[@dylan_5]

@@alebormio4842 He does hit a Bb1 in Crown Him With Many Crowns, just at a different part of the song. I believe he also has one in When the Saints Go Marching In. And yes, the C2 in King of the Road is him.

[@melksmemes7177]

You used some of Tim’s notes when he recorded the bass line and sang lead (ex. Friends in low places)

[@dylan_5]

Correct

[@melksmemes7177]

Sorry if you already knew, my bad (the video was still good)

[@odhranwinters8694]

3 Octaves 3 notes? No, you mean 3 octaves, a tone and a semitone. That is the correct method of describing one and a half notes.

[@dylan_5]

I probably would've just said "three semitones," but I imagine I get my point across all the same.

[@odhranwinters8694]

Dilly-Jo Not really considering you designated his chest range as wider than it actually is.

[@davidderolph2845]

Some parts of this clearly are not the voice of Chris. I know he has a great voice and is a versatile singer from watching many Home Free videos but, again, this is not an accurate representation; a title such as "Home Free vocal range" would be a better fit.

[@dylan_5]

Some of the low notes are incorrect because I was under the impression that Chris always sang bass when Tim sang lead, which Chris himself corrected me on. I would say this video is largely accurate other than that though. Which specific parts of the video are you questioning?

[@SouthPawBowler24]

Some those are actually Tim’s Bass line not Rupps nice try tho 😂

[@johnkeen6880]

Where did you get the 3rd box car clip with the G2

[@dylan_5]

Not sure what "box car clip" means, but the two G2 clips are from Country Fried Pop Medley and King of the Road, respectively.

[@johnkeen6880]

I found it thanks

[@kovassb7050]

what was the video with chance in it

[@dylan_5]

The one at 3:57? If so, that's What Child Is This, and it's on Chris Rupp's personal channel.
