{Vocal Summary}Primarily known for his absurdist comedy/horror YouTube videos such as the Unraveled series, former Polygon video producer and chaotic entertainer Brian David Gilbert is also a decidedly capable vocalist, singing in such side projects as his band The Altogether and his podcast Let's Make a Music. As a self-described former theater kid, his voice is for the most part a smooth, theatrical tenor, able to pull off some strong fourth octave belts as well as a gorgeous tone in softer songs. His falsetto is also fairly solid, though its higher reaches are generally used more for comedic purposes than anything else. Overall, a versatile performer who can very much count singing among his many talents.
