this is my first thread so please let me know of any feedback! i'd really love to put this in the part-time singers section (i'm assuming that's where it would go once peer-reviewed and refined)

Damn you beat me to it ggs

haha . i also think i have some clips on me that had another person made the thread, they might not have because they're little clips that almost nobody who knows him now was around for. for example the clip with the B5 and C6, which I clipped in mid-August 2019, has 12 views, and at the time he had around 800-1000 followers on Twitch. if you compare that to his current follower count (1,400,000), it's a sizable difference so just having that at my disposal (as well as having downloaded many of the Twitch Sings videos before they were deleted [either when Twitch Sings shut down, or if he deleted them, not sure which], which have a lot of notes as well) is nice.

Hey sup dawg how ya doin'. Just a few things I noticed for a future reference type deal:

1. The vocal range listing isn't separated by register. Not saying here specifically but sometimes classification of register ends up being kind of subjective (e.g. a decently reinforced yet heady metal wail that some may consider blue and some may consider black) so we just deal in the absolute total. In this case you would just list F2 - C6 as opposed to having the C♯5 in between. You don't need to format the C6 as blue in this listing either.
2. I think you might be a liiiiiittle lenient with what constitues a "green" note. I realize I said there is a degree of subjectivity when discerning color coding and I don't want to come off as flip-floppy here, but a general rule of thumb with green notes is that the distortion often obscures the fundamental pitch of the note. The green notes in this thread are relatively easy to pitch and don't have much in the way of overtones or what have you. In other words, there's a marked difference between a little bit of a shrill/gritty quality and a heavily distorted one.
3. So the most prevalent thing in my opinion is the context of some of the notes I listened to. Now, I haven't listened to every note on the thread, but your italic C5 and G♯2 along with your Patriots caw F♯5 (which is a bit closer to F5 to my ears) don't seem to have much in the way of musical context. Pretty self-explanatory, but basically the bare-bones requirement for this is that the note is literally in a song or is otherwise sung to some degree. So effectively, although the countability of those notes could be debated given reasonable context, they're not really part of anything remotely musical and so their countability is nullified. I realize it probably seems a weird standard from the outside looking in, but I would just think about it in terms of the implications; if all kinds of decently projected notes, be they within a song or just spoken during a stream, were countable, we'd have a lot of singers get their ranges expanded by a very mediocre "uhhhhhhhh" in an interview or something. It gets a bit preachy perhaps, but I think it's fair to say that would be misrepresentative of a lot of singers' voices and artistry.

Sorry for the tangent; I hope I explained things well enough. I will say that the pitching here is for the most part quite on-point, which already places this among the more solid first threads. And most of us only improve, so keep up the good work, homie!

thanks for the feedback. i updated the range listing. i'll update the green notes; i didn't realize green actually meant "so distorted it's hard to pitch it", I assumed it just meant that the note was just generally distorted. I also will update some of the notes that are completely devoid of musical context.  :)
