He actually said that when his voice changed and he came back to school people couldn't hear him so he had to learn to talk in a higher pitch.
I saw that interview too.
Thanks for checking on his overtones. It explains some of the sounds you occasionally hear in PTX songs.
And I think Kirstie can also do some. At least that is according to some comments about a performance or two they did during the Sing-Off (season 3).
The Lion Sleeps Tonight is NOT from The Lion King. It was a hugely popular classic rock song from the 60s. The whistle tones Avi was singing were from that song.
But the song (much older than movie) was used in the movie, so a lot of people knows it from the soundtrack.
Maybe thats why I didn't notice the melody at all 😂😂
It’s in the movie, but it’s not from the movie. Timon and pumba sing it, I believe just before adult Nala attacks him.
Lol, "That's wild, that's crazy...." That's Avi, he amazes me as a performer, I LOVE him!!!
Yeah even on the lives he is always vibing I love it. Def a good performer.
You can kinda have the feel of how to do it, if you say "youuuu-eee-youuu-eeee" in a fluent, continous way, then you keep your lips in a tight "ou" while 'inside your mouth' keep doing the "youu-eeee-youuuu-eee" (with your tongue actually)
Have fun 😃
sounds like the way i was taught to pronounce umlaut vowels.
Search for "mongolian throat singing" - there are thousands of videos on youtube with this technique, including "how to" tutorials.
Khoomei and Sygyt are types of Tuvan throat singing.
There are several videos (in English) by the German overtone singer Anna-Maria Hefele where she explains the technique very well. In the TED talk one you can even see recordings that scientists made which show the movements of her mouth and tongue to articulate the different tones. Quite fascinating, if one is interested.
Wow! Creative craziness.
Polyphonic singing..making your vocal cords make two notes at once.
I have listened to him do this many times. Always enjoy it.
The vocal cords are doing the same thing, the harmonic partial then is separated from the fundamental modifying the position of the tongue etc ( like filtering it ☺️)
In this casevatleast 🤪
Now what Lalah Hathaway does that's sg else 😳
Oh and subharmonics, I think there one vocal cord actually does half as many 'flops' as the other one and soooo somehow happens octavism/bass magic 😂
Hes superhuman. Such talented people in Pentatonix!
Yeah they are all insanely skilled.
This is also known as "throat singing", and is a feature talent in some indigenous cultures. You can hear Avi doing it in the first PTX Sing-Off performance, covering Katy Perry's "ET'". If you listen closely, you can hear this other-worldly sound he makes doing overtones. There's another Sing-Off performance where he does it, too... not sure which one. LATER EDIT... It's their 12th performance, "Dog Days are Over." You can hear and see him clearly in the beginning bars of the song, just after Scott's intro.
Throat singing is something else ☺️ but yes, there are tribes who do both culturally
@@livus3787 You're the first person I've seen say that overtone singing and throat singing are not the same thing. In listening to examples of throat singing, they do not sound like Avi's overtones, so I thought they may be just a different cultural interpretation of the same effect. Can you tell me how they differ? Are they all just versions of circular breathing, like playing the didgeridoo?
So I am not sure how the throat singing goes (probably sound-wavey things are already happening in the throat) but this here, the sound that is already "made", is filtered in then the mouth cavity, with changing the shape of it (with the tongue mainly), so to say he divides the whole sound into fundamental note and an overtone. He breathes normally, just have big pipes & can exhale/hold a note very long :)
I guess what I wanted to say, it's different technic, but both can exist in one culture (eg. Tuvan singers from Mongolian lands)
@@livus3787 Thanks for your efforts to clarify. Further research is confirming that throat singing and overtones are considered a category of vocalizations which include a variety of styles. I'm thinking overtones may be a sub-style of throat singing (which makes more sense to me than the other way around), and that would support your comment that they are not the same thing, though they are often described that way. It is frustrating that I continue to find the terms defined as interchangeable, though the sounds are clearly not. Maybe someone else can clear this up??
You should check out some tuvan throat singers and Mongolian throat singers. There was a tutorial that I watched about a year ago of this lady's showing us how she does it using x-ray. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but once you get the hang of it it's kind of fun to do. Lol I get on my kids nerves doing it LOL
Wait so anyone can learn this? I'm def interested now lol
There's a video where he teaches the audience how to do it.
Crazy I'm going to try and find it lol.
Happy to explain it as it was taught to me in my vocal pedagogy class as well as the first chapter in my music theory textbook. If you take a string of a certain length and pluck it, it will vibrate along its length, producing a note. This is called the "Fundamental" pitch. However, if you look closely at a string after being plucked in slow motion, you will see along the string peaks and troughs of their own. For instance, if you pluck the string along the middle, you will eventually get 2 waves centered on the middle. This produces a sound twice as high as the fundamental pitch...an "Octave." There are other numbers of ratios also happening at the same time and all of these various pitches are simultaneously produced and called "Overtones." Humans have the ability to adjust the shape of their soundboard (Throat, tongue, soft palate, etc.), which can filter out certain frequencies and reinforce others (Called "Resonance"). The human ability to form and perceive vowels in spoken language owes itself entirely to this physics phenomena. Vowels themselves actually have their own perceived pitches. This filtering is easy to play around with so long as you don't need to use instruments who use modern tuning instead of mathematical tuning...
This is so cool!
Yeah I've never seen or heard this.
It explains some of the weirder background sounds you hear in some of their older songs. 🙄
Check out this version too if you are interested in hearing him talk about the mechanics of how he does this. czcams.com/video/fEEAfNij_JU/video.html
I assume the base note was in the 2nd octave and he probably slapped the 6th and 7th octave overtones. He was jugging 5-6 octaves span at any moment. 6+ if he hit the 1st octave but I can't tell.
Monks do it. Harmonics my friend.
This video is a little bit better, in my opinion: czcams.com/video/2rFWkP9PCw4/video.html You can actually see his mouth 🙂
Can you please raction to why don't we sing falling
Can you please raction to anthem light sing marry did you know
Can you react to lil baby get ugly next vid
Added to the list!
You can learn how to do this, there are youtube tutorials out there
