another bass

I'm another bass... It seems we now have too many basses and baritones! Some of us will have to sing countertenor just to balance things out
I have a very bright timbre though, I sound like a tenor. Which is good, as it's just the voice I wanted when my voice started to drop I would love to sing, but I don't have a great voice. My vocal role model would be this bass:

( he's singing the death scene in Boris Gudunov )

I love low bright voices like his. Also I like the high dark voices you get in most mezzos and contraltos, and some sopranos ( like Rosa Ponselle ).

PS; DW, you have over three octaves! I'm impressed!

We must search for 1 soprano and 2 altos I would suggest, and with Countertenor, what about you, James?

I'm a soprano, but I can sing really really low as well.

Bass.

Our "member-choir" now: 3 sopranos, 1 Alto, 2 Tenors and 7 Baritons/Basses, and 1 other voice.

Friends, we need mor Altos and Tenors! And some sopranos would be also good! We have a big "bass-ground" now

 

[Harvey]

Now we have more basses than anything else.

 

[karlhenning]

Actually, as long as your basses sing well (rhythmically clean, and good pitch) so that the bottom is not 'muddy', I like the sound of a choir which has more men than women; acoustically, the bottom strengthens the upper voices, and it can actually sound in better balance than many choirs which have 'even distribution'.

Cheers,

i sang alto for most of my life and then my new voice teacher said she thinks im a soprano, so i switched in choir. i still have trouble fitting into this new label lol; i CAN sing the high notes, but they dont sound good. atleast not to me..

 

[Daniel]

You can be also alto in our "member-choir". So we would have 2 altos, but I think you voted for soprano . Anyway, some more altos would be nice.

Daniel

P.S. my first statement that I am a tenor with tendency to bariton should be corrected. I think I am more a baritone, would be a choir-bass but can getter higher more easily than lower.

I'm an odd one: technically, my voice sounds as if it has broken, and I can sing a G on the bottom line of the Bass clef, but I can still sing all the treble notes in a non-falsetto voice. My highest note is a D a couple of octaves above Middle C.

I sing bass in a barbershop choir (i do enjoy other music aswell but me and my friend both agree, barbershop is the best none tutorial vocal training you can get and when those chords ring, you feel like you want to marry music!) i have a real problem with my range, i can't reach above a middle c! it really bums me out cos all my bottom notes down to bottom Bb (2 8ves below mid c) are good but my high notes suck. It does however mean i have a good falsetto so if u really need a counnter tenor i could try!
PS, if anyone can help me in finding and developing head voice for use in choral singing, speak (or sing) now!

 

[Daniel]

Welcome Joseph Haydn!

Nice you found to us.

Anyway, now we really have to search for more tenors and altos for our "Forum-Choir".

Greetings,
Daniel

Alto!!!
We may be referred to as weird (coughJosefHaydncough) but we totally rock.
Whats this about a forum choir?

 

[MelodicDreamer]

I am a soprano, but I can sing alto. I am starting to sing soprano II sometimes.

 

[Daniel]

Welcome to the forum, MelodicDreamer!

@ikklebassonist: The "forum-choir" is the imaginary group of all of us singing together in an imaginary choir.

All the best!
Daniel

 

[vivaciouswagnerian]

Don't underrate us Daniel. Our choir is FEIRCE..... we just dont know it yet .

But suriusly, we gotta get this forum active again. I'm no one to talk, but we gotta do it for real!

Love ya'll


Oh, P.S. Tenor here. I look at the poll and there are 3 of us?!?!?!? :Gasp: oh wait.... lack of tenors is what gets me gigs, whoops. LoL

 

[Future_teacher]

What happened to mezzo sopranos? Don't you love us? I sing alto in chorus but I am a mezzo soprano.

Last time I sang in a choir I sang tenor. I believe it takes a real woman to sing low. I've sung alto and sop as well; I pretty much go where I'm needed. (In various choirs I've now sung four out of six parts of Byrd's Sing Joyfully . . . just need to pick up Sop 1 and Bass).

One of the things I love about singing alto in a women's chorus is the great low parts. SATB arrangements don't usually have those nice, rich low parts for women. I especially love Ron Nelson's alto parts.

Hey guys!

Im a bass..since my voice is so low...But I think I can sometimes sing baritone if I have the willpower to do it....Im having a choir class for school for this year..so hopefully by then, my music teacher will tell me what part my voice is in=D
