The Singing Thread

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread devoted to singing.

Lately, I’ve been trying to find mixed voice… you can guess how that is going.

What’s mixed voice?

And I really enjoy singing, I think mostly bass but I might sing a little baritone I’m not sure

Mixed voice is the blending of chest voice (normal speaking voice) and head voice (like a more disconnected silly-sounding voice). Mixed voice is useful for kind of “sliding” from your chest voice to head voice… I’m pretty sure I’m a baritone voice type, but a baritone can train to sing in a tenor range.

So I am a bass singer that loves listening to crazy low smooth singers that can blow your speakers. My bass is a bit of a mix of head and chest with a bit of leaning toward chest. To bad, i can’t sing very low. Generally d or c two octaves below middle c. In the morning maybe an A but not very often.

I’m sure you already have, but have you heard Christian Davis? Probably my favorite bass singer, and I love his singing with Dailey and Vincent. I’m personally a big fan of the high lonesome (like Dan Tyminski), but I really enjoy great bass singers too.

oh Ya heard of him. Check out Home Free. Acapella country band with the meanest bass singer ever (IMHO) That’s my favorite bass singer i’ve ever heard. Watched a vid once of him blowing a speaker at an outdoor festival. Crazy guy with an awesome smooth voice.
