Thank you in advance!

Thank you in advance!

For example, in r/opera, I posted a video of me performing and asked:

“I have the timbre of a mid baritone. My non-classical range is B1-G4. But I am addicted to singing bass parts. Could someone like me ever possibly sing a solid, operatic F2?”

Since it is an opera subreddit, I thought performers posting there would have a good idea of my potential and would know based upon the information I gave them if I were capable of what I wished to accomplish. I mean, I don’t want to waste 3-4 years of my life studying opera if I can’t achieve the goals I have in mind. I would rather sing other styles that allow me to sing low (and do it well) if I can’t do that operatically.

I just feel so…average. Even with low notes. I sound decent in some songs but I want to freaking sound like Thurl Ravenscroft every time I open my mouth. Is there no way at all to get that sound as a baritone?

A rich, full, resonant C2 sounds like heaven to my ears.

I didn’t really “lose” it but it just needs a bit of refreshing because I lost some of the vocal control I used to have before, it seems. I realize this is likely not an issue for natural basses but I feel it might be common for baritones like me who alter timbre to sing low.

We can just look up anything and avoid interpersonal interactions altogether, I guess…

I try not to be angry but the level of ignorance and hate all around today is astounding and very dangerous. And greedy rich people often seem to be the dumbest and most hateful of them all and they include the CEOs that run the world for no reason other than having mastered the art of exploiting workers for cheap labor. We have people who know nothing of healthcare and don’t care about healing people in charge of medicine. We have Sysco in the process of monopolizing the restaurant supply chain, cutting corners everywhere. Many people barely make enough money to pay that $800-1000 rent it seems is everywhere now and, even if they miraculously can, you have to make a lot more than that price a month in order to be given permission to live there. I didn’t even bother to mention our broken educational system. It goes without saying. Everything in the US (and many other countries too) is completely broken. Even our very infrastructure. Something basic that you would expect in any modern “developed country”. Who will hold these rich CEOs responsible? Why did we let it get to this point? Especially today, when anyone with half a brain can see what is going on. They no longer even try to hide it in many cases.

The worst part of it, for me, is complaining and hearing people say “well, that’s just how it is” and then seeing them shrug and then just laugh and move on. I don’t want people to be feeling upset but some level of concern is highly warranted.

I’m happy with what I have…but would like to round out my C2 and sound more like a deep bass in timbre. I’m 41 (almost 42) now and maybe my voice is as deep as it will ever be but just wondering…

I have anxiety and rarely even hit on people. That‘s why I‘m single. Stop trying to drag me down and destroy my confidence. A year or so ago he said, basically, „you might not find anyone, you have to be ok with that“. Stop projecting onto me. I‘m still relatively young and decent looking. I’ve had people interested in me. Why can‘t you build me up? Why is that so hard for people to freaking do?

Beautiful C2s in this song!
