All the beatboxers you've covered for the Wild Card have been jaw-droppin'! Thanks for opening this world to me, Ken. Keep up the great reactions!

[HUMANBEATBOXdotcom]

Hi Ken,

The beatbox community has been pushing the artform in every direction and gene, show-go and many others have been some of the most exciting artists we would love to show to the vocal world.

if you would like, we can explain each sound you’ve been listening to from all of the beatbox videos you have seen so far.

[ryansmallwood]

Hope you will look at Den’s wildcard next for vocal techniques.

They’ll be competing at the end of October so we’ll see them performing on stage soon. Unfortunately Show-Go had to drop out for scheduling reasons, though he uploaded a new song on his channel “You’re Gone” which is great if you want to hear more from him.

I'm 100% Sure that "Searching" by Den will blow your mind, it's by far the most impressive piece of Art I've seen in my lifetime

That bass he does is called lip oscillation, it where you push air out the lips to make a vibration or pitch. You also try to speak a pitch through it, like what he did using falsetto.

The other was a liproll where he breaths in using the side of the lips and it vibrates to create a sound, I believe he is making a pitch inwards as he does the liproll to create such sound.
Other than that, love your reactions, your amazing❤, can you react to vocodah levels pls?

[espathjevotrha]

I really like your reaction especially with show go one, love from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[Benben_Bbx]

I look at a lot of reactions for beatbox videos. The reaction I love the most are like yours, from people who are not beatboxers, you give a différent knowledge throughout your analysis.

But if you ever want more « beatbox vocabulary » I could help you a bit :)

What Gene is doing with the lip buzz combined with his voice is called « lip oscillation bass ». He makes it sound like a polyphonic technic because he does a 3rd or 5th or 8th note with the actual lip buzz compared to his trigger voice (here it’s head voice most of the time). That’s why it is so in tune.

During the drop, he’s changing through head voice (falsetto), then lip oscillation, then chest voice… etc… and he started the drop with another vocal technique named vibration bass.

Vibration bass is a technique where you use « growl », called throat bass in beatbox community, and you layer it with a much more deep vibration that does a sub-harmonica on top of the first technique. I guess the vibration added is sort of a « fry » coming from the false chords. Then vibrating at the same time as the « true » chords it makes the vibration bass sound like this !

[BeatboxHobbit]

You should do a video with a beatboxer to talk through some sounds with you. Would be great 😊

[ryansmallwood]

Thanks so much for reacting to Gene, your beatbox reactions are always very unique and you focus in on different features than a lot of others. The sound he’s doing is called lip oscillation, and he has a short tutorial on it online.

[LateLastNight]

This is the most wholesome reaction channel 🙏🏼

[kodywody]

As a beatboxer myself, very appreciate all the new love beatboxers are getting right now and recently in the past months and year. Especially as someone who has a lot of vocal knowledge. But especially anyone in the music industry in any way.

[clemverpomtato]

most beatboxers can do harmonies an octave higher or lower from their voice with their lip oscillation, but gene is using fifths, thirds, idk what else. to be able to control 2 pitch at once is just on another level. he's a musical genius.

[justinnolan]

Definitely MB14 showcase (China 2019 or LA 2018). Amazing vocal beatboxer that was also runner- up on France's "The Voice".

[samismos]

I'm so excited you checked it out! It really is an amazing piece by Gene. His lip oscillation technique is incredibly flexible and he has mastered it completely. I highly recommend you check out Den's GBB21 Wildcard named "Feel it still" . It contains some extremely interesting vocal techniques as well as vocal basses (inward bass, chest bass etc). It is definitely one to hear!

[CarwynAndrews]

I know it's an older video, but you should check out Indicator - I'm an Alien. He uses a technique called alien bass which he describes as using two sub harmonic notes to produce a third and it's absolutely mind blowing

[StayFrsty]

should check out his Redbone cover! or his track "Home" or "Jigsaw"!

such a genius!

[Tedula]

I love these beatbox reaction videos. So much

[joshuakleinman]

Damn I'm surprised I'm early and I was really waiting for this reaction <3

I always look forward to your beatbox reactions. 💙
