  • Is it possible for me to sing a G4 that sound sound like Mickey Mouse if my chest voice caps out at F4?

  • I always sing way too low. I could sing below the staff before getting above F. Haven’t watched yet but hopefully it helps

  • The humming is a very good exercise for figuring out the vocal placement. I mastered C5 as a baritone by practicing this exercise first, then vocalizing vowel a e i o u as same as the placement when humming

  • "Sing from below" is a bit unhelpful, my breath always comes from below, but if my throat stays relaxed I'll just be exhaling or panting. I feel like a violin with a G (low) and and E (falsetto) string in the throat and the others are missing.

  • Even watching this now, I hit that time where your voice rapidly deepens, and I went from tenor vocalisation to a bass/baritone range. I also learned that I was definitely pulling my tongue back, which strained and tightened my throat.
    That realisation combined with learning how to sing from below has led to my voice sounding much smoother and much more consistent.

  • Jesus loves you all and wants a real and intimate relationship with you. He wants to give you comfort and peace and is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to let him in, so let him in. It will the best decision you will ever make. Put your trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. His plan for your life is far greater than anything you can ever plan for yourself. Everything in life happens for a reason and the challenges and obstacles in life are used to teach you, prepare you for the future, and shap you into the person God wants you to be. He can turn what was meant for evil and turn it for good. He is the only one who can fill that empty void you have in your heart. God Bless!❤️✝️????????

  • Being a Bass is so hard, im into Pop Punk and I can't sing most of them.. can anyone help

  • For some reason people seem to think it's impossible, my range is C#2 to A5 not including whistle which goes up to A6. To anybody that sees this, know that the human voice is adaptable and you'd be shocked that there's a lot of baritones out there in music! I saw this and wanted to comment and watch because why not.

  • For me, the number 1 problem of practicing how to sing high note, including exercise of mixed voice, is I am worried I will disturb my neighbour.
    I need space so that I won't be worried about that.

  • The most challenging part of that song by Josh Groban is in the first chorus after overtune, i.e in the word "I" of "I am strong…" which is the highest note (G4).
    I will probably post on YT my cover of that song.
    Actually, though, the version by Westlife is more challenging, as the key is higher; the highest note is A#4 which occurs in that part. I have also sung that version too.
    Edit : I have posted that here

  • I am a Baritone Bass (Jonnie Cash or Paul Robeson). I have no problem singing up to E5 and I have slide to F#5 I day and can make a noise at G5.
    My voice changes from Bass Baritone to Tenor at about C4. According to you my coach has done a wonderful job. I am better than Josh. Equal for high notes. Bass Baritone for lower tones. I sing the chorus for On My Own as a soprano no problem with the C5.

  • Funny thing is, though, Freddie Mercury wasn't a true tenor… he was actually a low baritone naturally. His speaking voice averaged 117.3Hz… verging on bass-baritone territory. Which, in reality, gives credence to this video that deeper voices can sing high, in reality.

  • My mixed voice totally changed after a vocal (sport related) injury back in December. Idek if it's truly mixed voice anymore or just a slightly more convincing falsetto

    Reply
  • Be careful y'all. I tried singing a really high note and crushed my Adam's apple. BE CAREFUL!!!

    Reply
  • My range quite wide, my vocal coach said, i thought i am bass but can sing high note… but my vocal coach said i absolutely a tenor… I think i am tone deaf…????

    Reply
  • To fellow baritones and basses like me: You don't suck at singing, you're not alone it is challenging for all of us. But singing like a tenor is never impossible. 😀

  • great video and very good explanation. I hope it will help me to sing higher. tired of having a bass voice, i can play lots of instruments but my singing is so bad and low that i slowly lose interest in singing songs. playing instrumental gets very boring at a certain point and i would just love to be able to just sing properly and actually playing the full songs inclusive vocals. i will follow your videos and hope it will help me get better. Thanks for helpful video.

  • I just wish Josh would keep singing the beautiful baritone tones and stop trying to be a tenor.

    Reply
  • Baritone aren't supposed to sing Tenor songs. Muse, Maroon 5, forget that, of change key signature.

    Reply
  • You've got a great range just speaking. There's a nice chest resonance even as your pitch goes up.

    Reply
  • Great tips – I sing classical and am trying to extend my range. Consonants going into high notes are a real killer, I think that we can work around that with modified consonants if we are singing without amplification but being micd makes it hard to hide the cheats.
