Did Taehyung hit a F4 followed by a G4 in this video?

 

Also one more question please, how long before his voice deteriorates faster than Bom can gobble down a corn?

 

Edit: Idk how to embed tweets.

 

this was actually really painful for me to watch because taehyung is one of my ultimate biases and im also a baritone like he is. i think you actually mean F5 and G5? because that's what he was... "hitting" i think. its sad that he feels like he has to sing that high - i think he hasnt really realized that he's a baritone and just thinks that he has a more deep-set voice than the other members. bighit needs to stop making him sing lines meant for a tenor. his solo could have sounded so much better if it was just lowered a few keys (or maybe even a whole octave) to match his natural range. 

unfortunate. Did you see their performance of blood weat & tears at the gaon awards? Jimin cracked at the start of all his parts >.< it was so sad to watch catch coz i read an article that he said he is so frustrated coz he keeps trying to improve his singing but nothing happens. Cracking a bunch of times on stage seems like it would definitely hurt his self-confidence 

 

bighit needs to start investing in some vocal trainers :/

the "back of the throat" is the pharynx. The pharynx is part of the vocal tract. And changing the dimensions of that space is done by having the larynx in different positions. So yes, it is the same thing. The problem is what you are saying is contradictory, to you he is singing from the back of his throat but is apparently still in a fairly neutral position. Am I understanding this part correctly? it is still a bit confusing here. It is completely accurate to say that he was singing with a lower larynx position, because that is what he was literally doing. Obviously I was implying he wasn't doing it well either, I didn't think I needed to spell that part out. The idea of "mask" and "placement" has been scientifically proven false for decades now, but that is usually a topic I am too lazy to get into so I am gonna ignore that part for now. But if you feel like challenging me on that, just say the word, I am not one to back out of my claims. You've probably never ever seen me use those two terms for a very good reason.

 

his larynx doesn't sound lowered "dramatic enough" for you because what I am saying this entire time is that yes, we do not hear the same thing. He is absolutely, 100% fact singing lower than you think. Like most pop people, you have a tough time actually telling how low a larynx truly is with consistency, which is why there are videos like that popular larynx position video on youtube by user Westvoice, where he/she attacks lower larynx positions while praising a few singers in the video that are actually using lower larynx positions as "neutral", lmfao.

 

As long as something sounds "natural" enough to you, then it will be thought of as neutral, which is a problem because what is "natural"? That word is terribly subjective in pop music, mostly it just means what types of sounds are acceptable or sound pretty to the general public. It does not necessarily mean technically correct. And there are certainly many singers, especially higher voice types like tenors and females, that can alter their sound heavier and still sound acceptable because their vocal folds produce higher frequencies. higher frequencies get perceived as "mask". and "mask" is perceived as around neutral, and is also perceived as pretty in pop. Neutral and pretty is perceived as "natural". In your case, you have this idea of what you think so-called "full lyric tenors" sound like singing in neutral, so this allows him to alter his timbre darker and thicker than you think while still sounding to you as if he isn't that much lower than neutral.

Mhmm I see, got it. Thank you for the explanation, I agree with your points.

Wendy's vocal teacher talks about Wendy as a trainee and that she used to push so much because she wanted to debut so badly and that he told her to just use her head voice. I guess thats why she has a nice head voice too i guess.

Isn't vocally challenging but still requires skill? Think Rain by TaeYeon, Love and Affection by SeoHyun something that isn't overly difficult, but still requires you to sing. Also how you write great affects it's difficulty level, not the range it self. Because Gee and Can You Hear Me have the same range of A3-Eb5 y'see lol? What are you going for style wise? Like do you have any songs that you have in mind that I can sort of base things off?

Love and affection is a shower song LOVE IT!

Are there any tips on how to hear if someone supports or not? I've read a lot about it so I understand the concept of supporting, I just can't ... hear it lol. It's easy to recognize very weak vocalists of course, but for example I couldn't make it out myself if Namjoo supports or not (apparently she doesn't).

What exactly is a head voice? Sorry for being stupid, it's just that I hear about it a lot but never knew what it exactly was.

Are you asking for a technical of what it is like a definition or are you asking for a definition? 

 

This is what head voice sounds like:

 

 

And for a definition...well..it's the highest register for singing (not including the whistle register), a true head voice is produced when the vocal cords come into full contact with a each other without any kind of excess air passing through, the vibrations(resonance) and mainly felt in the forehead or upper cheekbone area.

Well, most people who have weak support in the chest voice area tend to have shallow tone production which sounds sort of flat and weak, essentially undeveloped also they can sound air. In chest voice if someone isn't supporting there can be a tight, shrill sound that lacks freedom and it can sound kind of pained. In the lower register..most of the time if someone isn't supporting the tone just turns into air really. Head voice it's normally just shrill and tight.

It's like a falsetto but instead of being airy it is... clear. I can't really explain it any better.

Ah, I know that airy sound! I guess I'll just have to listen to more examples to get a better feeling. Thanks for the answer!
