Zero autotune. Gene is a pitch master. :) As a vocal coach you need to watch River' - My Way, and Stitch - Feels like nothing!!!

[@IEGOODY]

The only editing to the audio is basically slight reverb. This is for a competition, so they don't allow for much outside of your actual voice and skills. It's all him!

[@bertycox]

Yes ! 👍

[@zihadhossin7931]

That’s right

[@diggie9598]

If you can clearly hear it, then it's not "slight".

[@splee8474]

@@diggie9598 in terms of reverb its slight. Reverb can go way crazier than what he has lol

[@MainIsMain]

No throat bass here! It's almost all vocal lip oscillations (aka singing plus lip buzzing at the same time to get two tones). The only exception is the sound at 3:08, which is technically a throat bass but us beatboxers call it "Vibration Bass", because it is a special type of throat bass that is generated by a combinaiton of vocal folds (hum) and false vocal folds (throat bass) simultaneously to create a more harmonically rich, two toned sound.

[@thekosk]

Well there is actually throat bass 2 times. For a short second when he does the drop, and another time shortly after. But not when she mentioned it

[@areons436]

@@thekosk thats vibration

[@dbomba]

I always thought that vibration bass was a combination of enel bass and throat bass because to achieve it I usually use throat bass (so I hum with my head voice with a bit more pressure to activate the fake folds) and I mix it with vocal fry and a normal hum from the chest as I usually do for the enel bass

[@MainIsMain]

@@dbomba Nah, I don't think so. Enel's bass is subharmonic singing. Most beatboxers who learn vibration bass can't do subharmonic singing until they practice it and find the placement to generate the sound, which tells me they don't utilise such placements with their vibration bass. Remix's vibration bass tutorial does a good job explaining how it's a combination of vocal folds and false vocal folds.

[@gamer_kn1ght6]

Alright info dump cause I researched this a lot a year ago: Throat bass is, just like Enel bass or even alien bass, a subharmonic technique. What makes throat bass unique is the use of both the vocal folds and false folds. Where normally both the vocal folds will vibrate at a different pitch to create the subharmonic note, with throat bass this difference in pitch is between the vocal folds and the false folds. This creates a more powerful sounding, but still subharmonic, tone. Vibration bass is simply the second subharmonic in this register. There is no difference in technique for throat bass and vibration bass, except that vibration bass requires a more precise control of the muscles and folds to get the exact pitch difference between the folds to get the subharmonic tone. Enel bass is regular subharmonic (so only vocal folds) but very constricted, creating an overtone subharmonic (which is weird at first but if you think about it it works). Alien bass is a third subharmonic (regular), but again with some overtoney stuff created by changing the air pathway which gives it its unique sound. The more you know!

[@streetninja510]

There’s a lot of tricks beatboxers employ to achieve unnatural sounding pitch jumps in their voice but it’s all vocal and zero auto tune. In this case it’s a combination of a yodeling type voice crack interspersed with short lip oscillations on certain notes. This helps to create the illusion that each note is switching aggressively, due to the tamber shift.

[@morethanjustavocalcoach]

Thank you for this…so funny but after I sent for editing I tried playing with one of the passes and did recognize through a yodel and some gibberish this would definitely be able to happen without autotune (why didn’t I record that, I know 😂) but it also shows what a talented musician he is to keep it so in tune regardless. Love this feedback.

[@lucadimare9856]

@@naivet hear me out, Enel - Feel my bass

[@larseikind666]

I agree with the comments. There's no pitch correction / autotune in use here. He is jumping from chest voice to head voice (falsetto) and back to get the sharp pitch skips, a technique used in yodeling. And the bass tones are lip buzz combined with his voice, which is a fun technique to know. I'm not sure is I hear any other bass techniques, such as modulating low tones with fry to accomplish lower octaves, but I'm pretty sure he knows how to do that as well. The styles and techniques he's using on this track take ages to learn and aeons to perfect. I don't know who this artist is, but I'll surely listen to more tracks. Very interesting and very impressive.

[@henrybeinghonest]

Beautiful sincere reaction! Wildcards are submissions for competitions, just some minor effects allowed like light reverb. And yes, as the others said: River' - My Way, and Stitch - Feels like nothing :)

[@pencilandpaper8438]

It’s kind of amazing to me the number of ‘vocal coaches’ and people involved in teaching music in general will have never heard beatboxing before. It’s such an awesome, peak example of using the voice as an instrument. Or several 😂

[@legoosetheythem2760]

I’m a moderator for Gene and he’s done this routine in person without a mic. He’s the real deal🥰

[@N8_515]

I hope you dive into the world of beatbox more, it’s my favorite community and the talent is unreal

[@KimchiSpringRoll]

Gene is one of those OG that's on a different level.

[@eldouthobandito3601]

You will definitely end up down a rabbit hole with beatbox. As others have suggested: River - My way Vocodah - Headbangers Trung Bao - Venom D-Low - Kickback Battles ZVD - American Wildcard 2022 Show-go - Silver Are all great examples of very different styles

[@KhronicD]

It's always amusing watching someone who's an expert in their field discover something directly related to their field that they know nothing about. It's also interesting how separate things like vocal coaching for singing and vocal coaching for beatboxing are, even though everyone who does either is using the same instrument. ;)

[@0bdexcode]

I have a suggestion. Feels like nothing by Stitch. Ridiculous vocal techniques that will make you shocked. :)

As someone who was in the beatbox scene during covid and high school, I can definitely say Gene is just a master of his art, and pretty much in 90% of pro beatboxers videos they won’t be using auto tune

Hello Miss and welcome. I've been watching a lot of your reactions and I am glad you are coming across some beatbox. Beatbox community is huge and don't be surprised if they come asking for more. And you are in for some amazing stuff. Just a quick introduction, there is this channel called Swissbeatbox and they started small but eventually grew bigger so more money started coming in. More money = more people = more talents = tougher competition = amazing beatbox. That's basically how it went and in last 4 years beatbox just went nuts. I would recommend anything from River, Den or Codfish as that's very musical. EDIT: I see people are recommending Stitch, as a vocal coach you might want to hear that :)

[@joelupetz5157]

[@chaosmisha]

Gene is so good! Thank you for this one! Gene's shorts are also really good. If you like to see more musical beatboxing from another beatboxer I suggest listening to Wing's GBB23 wildcards or any of his other songs (killing me soflty, doppelganger, dancing with a stranger etc) or maybe his shorts

Only effect allowed is slight reverb. These guys who are at this level are all absolute brilliant artists.

He's getting harmonics with his lips a fifth or octave away from his voice, like doing multiphonics on trumpet or trombone. His last note he sang an A and his lips buzzed the low F, let's go! ❤

I would like to recommend: Taras Stanin | The Hills (The Weeknd Beatbox Cover). It is a lot more edited than the clip from Gene, but that just shows what one can do with the "raw" audio in post in my opinion.

[@TTinari]

Be careful about beatboxing. It can quickly become a rabbit hole, especially for people who love vocals. I'll also recommend Feels Like Nothing by Stitch like these comment are, but there are so many worth seeing. Both videos from Gene and Stitch are wildcard entries to a competition, so processing is limited to reverb, EQ, slight compression. Otherwise they're completely natural

[@MxGregor21]

[@eevoking5605]

So got to check out show go hes amazing

[@user-rp2ov7xo6x]

you must see Bigman - The Window that so dope and beautiful beatbox

[@StrifeSE]

They're not allowed to change the wildcards more than a flat EQ over the whole track (not allowed to EQ sounds individually) and maybe a compressor as far as I'm aware. So there are restrictions in place, they need to be able to perform it live basicly :) Thank you for checking out beatboxing, always fun to see vocal coaches checking it out.

[@skio147]

There are so many good videos for you to see in this category. JAIRO are becoming a big deal. WING, Taras Stanin , and HISS have some fantastic stuff too.

If anyone is curious about how some of the tricks work or would like to see more masters at their craft I'd greatly recommend checking out D-low hes a vocal coach and a world beat box champion. who just has only gotten better in his years. He also has a lot of tutorial videos out there, and in his reviews of other beatboxers its always a treat to see him try and parrot sounds and do it almost perfectly.

[@bennewman4627]

You should also check out the beatboxer Wing. You wanna hear a master of musicality, he’s one for sure.

[@rasmachris94]

As someone that follows people who utilise screams for their music this is what I think is going on; The throat bass I think he is doing something similar to mongolian throat singing/metal scream vocals where he vibrates the false chords which sit above the true vocal folds. It is thicker and harder to move, but because it's thicker it vibrates at a lower frequency about an octave lower than regular singing vocals. So he is likely aiming for D2 and using throat bass to hit D1 instead. For other really cool beatboxers check out show-go specifically 'Jasmine' I simply love the musicality he introduces into his beatboxing.

[@Aarush]
