Low Vocal

[freddyyc]

hi.

wondering if low pitch vocal will affect the song.
or as long as the person sings well, low vocal dosent matter?

can anyone name any low pitch vocalist?
example Elvis p.
he is one right?

Thanks

I find that higher pitches sound more exciting and interesting. If you sing a whole song low, it's difficult to add any excitement to it. Some people get away with it though, like Elvis and Johnny Cash. Leonard Cohen is someone who DOESN'T get away with it I find him so boring to listen to.

Put another way, you need a lot of skill and something special in your voice to get away with singing low. But if you sing higher, you can get away with more.

I like low voices. More depth and character, imo. =)

The song must be suitable for the voice though.

how abt trying to hit the higher pitches then?

Personally whether it's high or low pitch, it doesn't matter or give judgement on any good or versatile effect unless it's sung in your default general key of range. Example I can sing and express on a high pitch, but singing high all the way makes the song stale. Alternatively I can sing expressively low, but I think that kinda singing suited more on trance or Mandalay stuff, because of my tone at that range.

I remember an old american idol audition where the girl sang high all the way and although she hit each note and expressed it out, the judges weren't too impressed. Simon said it was "dull".

Low tone vocalists can sound great too.

Just think about the amount of passion you can put into your lyrics....

Check out vocalists like Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour), Scott Stapp (Creed) etc
