I can sing low because i have long hair

Girls: **Hold on**

It’s great to hear Geoff say things like “I’m not there yet”. Really makes us realize even the greats need to work.

Also, you should make a video of you singing on sulfur hexaflouride

Hey Geoff !
To answer your question about subhamonics : yes, females can use the subharmonic register !!! As you said, we have pretty much the same anatomy and most of all, it's not the vocal cords that are vibrating in the subharmonic register (not only at least). When you use the subharmonic register, the sound is produced by the ventricular bands, vibrating an octave lower than your vocal cords !
Thanks for your video and all the advices !

As a former voice teacher I so appreciate your telling people to stay relaxed, and to stop when it hurts. You can so easily blow out your voice when singing low, it's easier to blow out your voice singing low than it is when singing high, and so many people don't realize it.

First time I heard your voice, both singing and speaking, my jaw hit my lap.

I'm a female, and I'm learning subharmonics! They're still really shaky, but I've only just started, and it's possible! (My lowest subharmonic is an e2, and my lowest growl is about a b1, but only on a good day! So it's definitely possible for us females!)

God this man is amazing. There was a smaller event at a college in an obscure town called Grinnel in Iowa, and Voiceplay was supposed to sing outside but it rained a bunch. So they took everybody inside and sang some songs acoustic for us. They’re not only the best singers, but also the nicest people.

I'm a female and your tutorials really helped me develop the bass/low range sounds. That subharmonics also make it more easier to hit these low notes :) thank you 🧡

[EddtheRexMan]

If you're not sure what note to start on, here's some great advice from David Larsson: sing your lowest note in chest voice (so as low as you can without too much breathy-ness or vocal fry).
Now sing a fifth above that note.
That's roughly where you should start trying to sing with subharmonics.

As an example, for me the lowest like F2 or G2 and a fifth above is C3 or D3. So I start trying to make a subharmonic sound around C/D.

The subharmonic register will start higher or lower depending on your own voice, so I hope this can help anyone stuck on where theirs starts! :)

OH Geoff!!! I Gotta tell you EVER SINCE I found you and the rest of the Voiceplay gang, I have just been hooked, (first song I heard with you guys were - Grim Grinning Ghosts followed by everything else) AND THEN (and this is one of my favorites) I heard you sing The Oogie Boogie song. And I think your range of notes are insane!! All your low notes are like melting dark chocolate *sigh* and your last note in Oogie Boogie, almost made it feel like my bones were vibrating!!! So amaizing!!! (About 3 weeks ago I found The Raven, read by you, it has become a sort of meditative thing for me to listen to. Aaand so, last but not least your speaking voice is one of the most soothing ones that I have ever come across. Happy 2020 from me to you and your family <3

[SomeoneWhoHere]

As a female, I can use subharmonics. I've learnt them from you! Of course, my subharmonic register is not as low as yours, because anatomically speaking the male voice is generally lower. But yeah, being a low voice certainly helps (alto here!) So I think that subharmonics use in female voices are quite uncommon, but not impossible! Stay awesome!

Hello! PLEASE READ, GEOFF.

I am a teenage girl, and I thought you would be interested to know that YES, it IS possible for a girl to use subharmonics. I have been practicing, and I can now consistently get down to a D2 with it. If you see this, thank you so much.

[efes_art]

Nice video Geoff! By the way women can do subharmonic notes! My sister can do the subharmonic technique. She got a B1 with this technique. Women cannot go as low as men in this register but they can produce it too!

Since I was a child, I used to play by doing sub harmonics. I had NO IDEA that was actually something that would help me exercise my low voice. When I tried your exercise of it, it just came naturally to me. Now I will be doing deliberate practice to actually get some good of it. Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge!
