--- In vocalist-temporary@y..., John Link <vocalist-temporary@y..., John Link < > matter) singing down to G1? If so, I'd love to hear them. I'd recommend the song "Family Reunion" by the Oakridge Boys. Their bass sings profundo G all the time. I'll try to dig up a recording of my true profundo friend singing A1 and post it if possible. Since my G1 sounded pathetic in comparison to that of real bass, I never sang below a D2 in public. Since I specialize in the avant garde I have the freedom to use an altogether different register for low notes now. You may hear an example my producing E1 here: http://people.mills.edu/toda/sounds/truth_deep.wav You'll need to play that on real speakers - typical PC speakers doesn't have the range to reproduce notes that low. Besides the short clip from before: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vocalist-temporary/files/strohbass.wav I posted a new clip of my singing bass in an acappella group in which I normally sang soprano (only down to C#2): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vocalist-temporary/files/mustang.mp3
