Can a bass sing high notes? Yes, and altos too. Here are 3 simple vocal exercises that can add an octave to your range. I know because I’m a bass and my range increased more than an octave. Watch!

Hardest thing about being a bass is trying not to feel guilty about not being a tenor in today's world

[bassmanxan]

As a young bass, I'm glad I have this information readily available to me before college, thank you!

[redlightgreenlightswag]

I wanna say thank you, it really helped me a lot. We have a performance task which is singing our hymn and it's too high😞 I'm a girl but my voice is low so idk how to sing it, this helps a lot!! Thankyou so much 😭

Are you an angel??? You was the first person that i found with exercises for bass. In the hole YouTube are just for baritones and tenors. Thank you so much, and sorry for my bad English, it's not my first language!

[Cloppa]

Love this info! I so need it.. My range is just where yours was when you started. Thank you so much for this.

I’m going for an audition for a company musical theatre class, I’m currently looking at a base song because my voice sounds forced when I try sing I Believe from Book of Mormon and I can’t sing the higher notes, thanks for this

[yingvanche]

im in my school choir team and im really struggling with high notes as an alto, i hope i can improve.

[ssjdon]

Hey Chuck, does the Nay Nay exercise strengthen the head voice? And does it also prevent pulling chest voice? Thanks

[maxsherritt]

Great Video Chuck. I thought the F#5 was great.😄

[richierich]

Bass singers are awesome of course they can hit high notes axel rose is a bass baritone your a bass yourself and you are able to hit high notes basses are fantastic I love they’re warm sounds and they’re low notes so relaxing

[jatinjb]

This is a gr8 video sir... Appreciate your work

[ArtCast]

I’m a baritone/tenor who wants to sing “Unchained Melody” the way it should be sung. Teachers roll their eyes or run the other way. I never hear from them again. Other singers laugh. Before I die, I want to do it again. “Bridge Over Troubled Water” too.

[krishbogati]

I guess i am an baritone sir..
My lowest is c2 in chest and F#1 in vocal fry
My highest is g4 but i always pull my lyrnx and i could do head voice before like..not totally head voice but kind of whiste voice which could go up to an E6 but now i can't also when i try to do falsetto.. it's like falsetto but not falsetto..but it's the sound of voice crack..like i mean the voice we get when we have a voice crack..also my lyrnx goes high whenever i step in the 3rd octave..i have kinda throathy singing..so please suggest me some videos to begin with again.. because during puberty my voice is being hoarser and hoarser daily..i am 15

I can hit all these pitches, everything from below A0 (with subharmonics) up to 6th and 7th octave stuff with overtone/whistle screams, but my natural lower and mid registers (what most would call "chest voice") are still from around D2-E4. I use my upper register for anything from around C4-G5 most of the time (with some overlap with my mid register up to E4), and I can now get it about as loud and almost as solid as my lower register stuff, but my issue is tone. I'm always left feeling like my upper register sounds so close to a tenor's mid-register, but never quite as full, and it comes across in music as thin or comedic rather than powerful and high-impact the way I would like it to. Everything you've demonstrated here in this video is alright, it's technically good and I don't want to be disrespectful, but it would never work in the context of any of the music I find myself making with my band at the moment. So I'm left wondering if I'm chasing something impossible by trying to get a fuller and more powerful rock tone out of my upper register/"head voice", or if I just need to get that much stronger and practice that much harder. I can often get it to work well enough for background vocals in tracks (mostly "AAAY" and "AAAW" and "HEY/ALRIGHT/AW YEAH"... you know the typical rock noises), but it somehow doesn't quite hold up tonally when I try to use it for more lyrical stuff like choruses. Axl Rose did it, and Brian Johnson did it, but I'm losing my mind trying to find my own way to that same freedom and get it to sound genuinely good. It feels like I'm just kind of doomed to sound like a big turkey pretending to be Robert Plant with anything over E4, even at best, even when it's strong and loud and well supported with good projection (it's not coming out of my nose at all).

I believe that it was hard for you to adapt to your masculine voice when it was fresh during puberty. I am an autistic man and I really had that problem when my masculine voice was fresh as I had to get used to sing lower, my singing habits were childish and I was used to sing higher. It confused me. Interestingly, while at first my voice felt too deep for me, when I compare it to an average masculine voice, I hear that my voice is a bit higher than the average masculine voice, in fact singing lower than B2 is honestly hard for me, and honestly I think I didn't want to sing that low in anyway, the problem is just that I lost the ability to hit high notes, at least I started feeling that my falsetto is too weak.
