I'm a bass through and through. My lowest comfortable note is a D1. I used to have a deviated septum and couldn't even use falsetto while speaking. Now, 8 years and TONS of practice later, I can sing most "tenor" tracks with ease! It's all about consistent, healthy practice! Btw Chris, you're the one who introduced me to pitched screams a few years ago. Now I can do most deathcore screams. Thank you!

[@Delowist]

I've always told people that vocal types came around before microphones and it mostly just refers to the loudest part of your range, which was because you needed to sing over an orchestra and fill a venue unaided. You can literally sing whatever range/timbre you want provided you're willing and know how to work on it

[@Billy-sm3uu]

Hey Chris, I remember you pointed this out in our lesson. It's so valuable not only to how I sound but also to my confidence. It really made me feel like I could sing!

[@messiah-lo5vm]

Having a heavier voice is very good as the lower the voice is the more diverse and universal it is. I ve heard so many basses and bass baritones being able to hit so good high notes in a quality that many tenors can only dream of. Its just training, its just dedication and loving of what you are doing. Thank you Chris, you have done so much for me on this vocal way already. Im wondering what I would be able to do in a couple of years. I am a baritone with lowest supported note up to G2-F2, naturally Im talking in F2-A2 and I ve already understood that the first step to good range is ignoring a stupid mindset like „you are a baritone, sing up to B3, higher is not for you“

[@josku5]

Depending on what you mean by ”high notes tenors can dream of”. There are physica limits to the human voice, even with training.

[@F4deZ]

@@josku5Não a fisiologia se atenta apenas a quantidade de massa muscular na prega vocal de cada indivíduo, apenas isso. Todo mundo tem médio, grave e agudo. Acontece que alguns cordas vocais mais fracas e até fendas, portanto, ao se alongar pra fazer um agudo, a corta tem maior elasticidade. Se voce nao sabia nem disso, deveria estudar antes de falar merda.

[@messiah-lo5vm]

@ I mean the quality of high notes. Im not talking about perfectly belted G5, of course. Im talking about parts that are perceived as pretty high for baritones and good for tenors (Maybe F4-B4) - absolutely cool and possible range for a baritone where it can sound sometimes even better with its heaviness and fullness thank to thick vocal chords that baritones and basses have.

[@AtomizedSound]

It’s not universal truth but I get what you are saying in your last comment especially. You have bari-tenors which is what you are kinda implying in quality. It is all about the training and the younger the age helps. You can use Dimash as an example. Classically trained from a young age and he can hit B2’s or lower possibly and go way up into a whistle register so it’s doable.

[@JackInABeanstalk98]

@@AtomizedSound No, Dimash is like a standard tenor.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

The speaking voice is never the singing voice. The speaking voice and the singing voice are two completely different functions, you don’t speak with support from the diaphragm. This is easy to prove with opera singers. Opera singers can have wildly different speaking voices from their singing voices. A great and most surprising example is the very hefty dramatic tenors, Mario Del Monaco and Franco Corelli who had these high and light tenor speaking voices. Coloratura soprano Beverly Sills had quite a deep and low speaking voice. Ettore Bastianini was a dramatic baritone with an incredible bass speaking voice. Whereas a baritone, Giangiacomo Guelfi who had one of the biggest and most dramatic baritone voices of all time, had a normal almost tenor speaking voice. Opera is a good place to dispel this myth of the speaking voice, because they sing with great technique.

[@BrettZieglermusic]

Very interesting topic Chris! the past few nights I had very similar thoughts like how did I go from lower baritone to full Tenor/soprana range because I keep getting lower notes also 😅 when at first I was barely an octave solid with super 'nasal' high notes (learned how to lean in a lot more to that also from your videos help) to now hitting closer to the full four octaves after about 4 or 5 years of consistency with my voice! Just want to say how much your channel has stuck with me all these years it's good to see and hear you sharing creative thoughts like these! Many thanks 🙏🏼🎶

You have golden ears heart mind and throat sir. Many other observations - I'd build on, here. But I'll keep those to myself in my development. Thanks again [and to you]

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

That upper chest voice you were doing is kinda the same one uses to talk to children and pets, as evidenced by the fact that my dog came over under the impression that I was talking to her. Haha.

[@eclecticmuso]

Another thing to acknowledge is that most men are naturally baritones because men on average are taller now, of course there are exceptions but generally the taller you are the longer and lower the instrument will be. Most tenors are in the asian countries where people tend to be shorter. And tessitura will always be the biggest factor in determining fach, where could you comfortably sing and live.

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

I started choir as a baritone, as all my friends were singing lower and it was kinda embarrassing at the time wanting to sing a higher register. It stuck, and I sang baritone all the way through highschool and the first year of college. My choir director then asked me one practice, "have you ever tried tenor?" I said not really, and she was like "ok, you're a tenor now." It was a great change. I can go decently low, especially if Im sick, but loved singing tenor. It fit my register a lot better. Havent sang in a while, but I'll happily sing tenor for the rest of my life.

[@AtomizedSound]

That echoes my experience growing up too. In college in choir I was designated a baritone and started taking singing lessons but by the time I was leaving college they moved me to tenor because of my range and they needed more tenors too lol. I have a very broad range and my tessitura (mispelled) is comfortable more around middle C range.

[@JoeM1314]

Glad someone told you at the right time. Nothing annoys me more than hearing a natural tenor with a beautiful voice avoiding the higher notes because they think its unmanly.

[@val8835]

Woow such a great video! I thought my voice had dropped since 2 years, but actually, now I have found it back, because I started to use heavier singing techniques those last two years and it really deepened my speaking voice or gave it way more "resonance" lower. My actual speaking voice used to lie right where yours is when you do the demonstration while "speaking" high. I find it so so cool to now have both again. Thank you soo much

[@KamoMustafaWWE]

So does this mean if I use a higher voice tone, overtime, my singing voice will be higher as well? My voice is naturally deep, but it tends to go a bit higher when I talk to people.

[@chrisliepe]

yes, mindfully practiced, that'd exactly what this means!

[@pawsome3796]

[@TheBleedout]

I know it's not 2006 and it might not garner the most views, but an analysis of Ville Valo of HIM might be very interesting and helpful on this topic.

[@natewatchman]

VV's range is crazy. There's some bass-baritone sounding notes in the doomy songs, some falsetto in the romantic ones, and some gritty belted high notes in the heavier rock stuff. He's a great singer and I'd love to hear Chris' take on him. Great call 👍

[@TheBleedout]

@natewatchman totally! Just watched the Digital Versatile Doom live show after posting this. The fact that that band was Valo's singular vision, how he sings those songs and the level of charisma he has.. last real rock star in my book.

[@JoNothingg]

[@macraeg.2747]

voice stuff is so interesting! I'm something like a low baritone but I like to imitate lots of different singers (including women), & it's really kind of surprising just how many different sounds I can adopt. it's a lot of fun & I've learned a lot just trying to do what singers who seemingly don't sound like me are doing. I haven't figured out quite how to let my speaking voice be what it should be since it dropped (transmasc) & I'm sort of stuck keeping it much higher than it needs to be (half to even a full octave or so above where it should sit) which has been good for developing a high range in singing I think but as I recently discovered it means my low range is really undeveloped. it's a work in progress lol

[@AtomizedSound]

I think it depends upon the material really

[@TheeJordanRossi]

@@AtomizedSound I agree. It's actually unfortunate that we live in an age where baritones have to stray outside of their comfort zone and LARP as tenors to gain credibility. When baritones were allowed to just be baritones and operate within their wheelhouse (Frank Sinatra), pop music was so much more diverse and memorable.

[@meursault9364]

I was a bass chorist in choirs for years. My vocal range at that time (18-24 years old) was between d2-f4. I left the choir, started focusing more on my voice as a vocalist, and worked on my high notes by improving my technique. I can now use the b1-a#4 range effectively. If I am not tired and if I warm my voice well, I can also go as high as d5. Almost all of these I mentioned are with chest voice (possibly a little bit of mixed voice after b4 and higher). I am currently trying to learn my head voice and produce more mixed voices. If you have any suggestions on this subject, I would love to hear them. For example, I cannot sing quiet f4 and higher notes. I think it's not normal, something should be missing in my technique. The reason I have been pushing my voice to such highs for years is actually because my falsetto is much higher than the tenors around me, and this encouraged me. I have been able to sing G#5 as a falsetto for as long as I can remember.

[@DoogieFroogie637]

I apologize for being impatient but I’m extremely eager to watch your reaction to MJ’s Remember the Time; his vocals on this track are one of the many reasons why it’s my favorite song of his

[@rachelleasedwalker6313]

Phenomenal training Chris! This makes so much sense amd is incredibly helpful! It made me wonder if I could train myself to tap into emotions by feeling different emotions in my body and making the sound they make and trying to sing in that sound. Like the sound of agony or grief, fear or joy. Does that make sense? 🤔

[@chrisliepe]

It makes perfect sense! I train my students to do exactly what you are describing with connecting emotions to how they feel in the body and then how they sound as a result of reacting how your voice FEELS !!

I'd be into more speaking/singing voice breakdowns e.g. thom yorke,michael stipe,axel rosee,george michael,freddy mercury. I think despite the deeper thicker sound stipe also has high harmonics in his spoken voice. George Michael I can't place, he has a warm thick sound in his spoken and sung voice despite being comfortable at tenor voice...freddy sounded baritone-ish speaking too.

[@blackybro3128]

My Chest is currently stuck at a D4 and I am intrigued, if this Video will help me.

[@bobsdock]

Good one man! When I started singing I was a light tenor. Then I decided I wanted more low end. My vocal coach helped me develop a new voice. It was done mostly by working on my speaking voice. It took much time but it happened and I was thrilled because of the flexibility and increased range but... I neglected the higher end of my voice. It has weakened so much now and I miss it. Does anyone else struggle to maintain their range?

[@Falanu]

I can go from baritone range to whistles and off stage I’m self conscious about low voice or morning voice. I’m so happy I speak higher than almost all my favorite singers sometimes I find myself doing the Michael Jackson thing haha. Lots of transgender people do this and I want to know if it can permanently heighten your baseline pitch and if there is possibly any such technique that can change the location of your breaks especially if you have more than one passagio

[@theprintkidspainter5585]

My voice is baritone I believe but for some reason I mix *A LOT* naturally. I wish I knew my true vocal type. Around A4 I'm a little more heady but you can hear some chest in there

[@CBC_Productions]

So, I would put myself in that higher baritone range for my "resting tone," but with falsetto I can hit a D7 (don't ask me how I don't know lol). My question is, how do I add compression with my mixed voice to singer higher notes without sounding like Toad 😩

[@chrisliepe]

some of it is compression, yes, but it's really about discovering different placements via character and resonance studies that will help you sound any way you want to in any part of your range. I help you do exactly this in weeks 3 and 4 of my course Discover Your Voice. You can request an invite at chrisliepe.com if you're interested in learning more about the program :)

[@EtherealFrequency2024]

Great video. All your explaining and demonstrating is so true. That’s what I love about your approach to vocals. Ko limits and no boundaries to what you can do with your voice.

[@YuryVVV]

Baritone here. About three years ago, during the whole covid thing I got sick with pneumonia and was fighting the consequences for a month+. Couldn't stop coughing. Afterwards found out that my access to the head voice is entirely gone. Any attempt to flip into it just ended with me whispering, sometimes even while talking the vocal cords would disconnect for a moment. After working on it I have regained the ability to sing some high notes (practically reach my limit of B3-C4), through humming first, but trying to actually sing and sustain them comes with a lot of effort and a lot of air. The sound just doesn't come out unless I push it. Any tips?

[@koiti8750]

Stop pushing! Try a very gentle and low volume vocal fry from the very bottom of your range to your upper range. Try to imagine its a zipper (you’re bringing your cords together in a gentle way and conditioning it trough repetition) it must feel like a vocal folds massage. Do this for a bit every day.

[@chrisliepe]

I had the same problem shortly after one of the times I got COVID. I had to re learn the muscle coordinations to access my head voice. It was a little scary, but because I knew how to rediscover those muscle memories, I was able to train it back in about 3 weeks. It took a lot of speech level training and breathing to bring it back. I can help you do this in the first few weeks of my course Discover Your Voice. You can request an invite at chrisliepe.com if you're interested :)

Ok, but we know for a fact that a lot of stars put on voices for interviews. Both Michael and Prince are legendary for personal acquaintances attesting to them having much deeper voices than the ones they showed the public. It seems in the clip for Chris Cornell you shared he was intentionally trying to be as low as possible to sound cool but he had some breaks where he went higher. So it's not accurate to say that forcing yourself to talk a certain way is how these guys gained greater vocal flexibility, because it's likely most of the time they talked the other way, the way you don't see on camera.

[@wandajames143]

I think it’s mostly nurture, it’s a fact that women’s voices have dropped about an octave the past couple of decades. I don’t think the vocal cords have changed it’s all placement.
