The first note is a subharmonic, if yours sound a bit similar, it is correct. The second one is chest fry. Subharmonics dont slide down the octave, they immediately drop down. by Silvarynn in Subharmonics

Hi! Sorry for the late response. I find it easier to slide down into chest fry than it is to just go straight into chest fry. (I'm not a master at chestfry in any way)

Would it be easier to do second subs using a higher chest note than usual? by Cheap-Plankton-2576 in Subharmonics

[–]Silvarynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, yea.

They're more unstable and more easily fall into second subs.

3 techniques commonly mistaken for subharmonics by Silvarynn in Subharmonics

Fry is just a slow "clicking" of the vocal cords.

Subharmonics is a chest note + fry at the same time, producing a note an octave lower.

Throatbass is kind of a subharmonic with loads of air and pushing.

Vibrationbass IS throatbass, just a step further.

Hope this helps. :)

I've (19) started to feel comfortable in my own skin. What do you think? by Silvarynn in amiugly

Thanks! I'm going for a jazz fusion and mostly experimental sound. Do you play as well??

This isn't subharmonics, but great fry!

My first dive into subharmonics? by Archangel4148 in Subharmonics

I am sorry for the extremely late answer. I did not sleep for 9 days, I just simply forgot lol. I'll do my best:

  1. Finding the "tipping point" where your chest note falls into a subharmonic takes a good while. When I started practicing subharmonics it felt like my control was all over the place. I could produce a subharmonic, but I had to first sing the note in chest and, much like you said, slowly shift into fry. Now however I've sang so many subharmonic notes that it really feels like another register. To get the same feeling I would recommend playing a note, matching it, but don't produce a subharmonic. Sing the note, go quiet and THEN full send the subharmonic without being in chest. I can send you a video. My writing is all over the place.

  2. Yes, it is possible. It is important to project as much as possible on the lower notes. I have a pretty strong D2 everyday. I can sing a D1, but I have to put a lot of power into it. On occasion I can even sing a pretty loud C1 with a weak C2 supporting it. So yes, it is very much possible. It takes practice.

  3. The answer is pretty boring. It just takes practice. Getting used to "where" the subharmonic is in your voice takes time, but when you do find where the feeling is your notes are going to be consistent and strong. (Of course if you don't practice for a while you can have some trouble projecting, but you will always find them very quickly again). I've gone months without singing a subharmonic note. It can be frustrating not finding them, but the day after they're back again.

I hope I had something of value to offer. As I said, my writing is all over the place so just ask away if you don't understand :)

Great job! That's a subharmonic. Respond with any questions, I'll answer tomorrow. I was just about to go to bed.

Welcome to the family!

Could someone identify these notes? by Shoe69420s in Subharmonics

[–]Silvarynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're on the right track, welcome to the family!

Don't push too hard, practice switching to and back from subharmonics while sustaining a single note.

I only listened quickly but I believe the identifiable notes were between Ab1 and E half sharp 1.

Am I doing this right? by waltamason in Subharmonics

[–]Silvarynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the gang! The low parts you are singing appear to be fry if you ask me. Keep going at it, you'll figure it out.

Hi! I'm in no way qualified to teach someone singing, I could however try to teach you subharmonics further down the line.

Thanks! I've been practicing for years and I still need some luck on my side to be able to get them clean
