Crazy voice! I wish there were more recordings of him singing in his ordinary, non-character voice though.

There's Not a Single Chest Note in Sight

J D Sumner will be singing a triple low C from his grave.

JonJo Candida, what a mad lad. Hilarious. Love me a guy whose name sounds like a yeast infection <3

I'm Actually Pretty Curious What his Highest and Lowest Chest Note Are

[Steingrim]

Let's speculate. Baritone, C2-C5 ?

Lol. I’m a baritone and can’t even hit E4 on a good day. What makes you think an average baritone can go up to C5?

[Karen’s Kickassarole]

gonna price is right it and go E2 - Bb4

That sounds like you're really a bass. A typical baritone tessitura is A2-G4. Add 5 semitones to each side for the maximum modal range and it's E2-C5. That's a pretty conservative approach.

You stated your maximum range as D2-C4 elsewhere. The video where you sing is gone but according to the comments you have a low voice, especially for your age. You may be able to expand that range at either or both ends still. When I started singing last year my lowest note was an F2. I found my way down to somewhere between Bb1 and A1 eventually. That's soft and muddy but we're talking about the max. If D2-C4 is simply what works for you, then that is definitely a bass range.

Candy Candido has a high falsetto range and is capable of very low yet decent fry notes, which suggests that he is pretty rangey and his chest voice ought to cover 3 octaves, maybe even a little bit more.

Chest Range G#2-F#4?

This is the first thread (that I know of) that contains no black notes.

[funnypun]

Here are 5 songs that aren't currently on the thread. I found them on the internet archive and re-uploaded them to youtube so it's easier to link them.

I skimmed through them and this is what I heard:

The Big Bass Fiddle: B♭1

Ceclia: B1s, A1s, G1s + spoken lows which seems to end around G1 + spoken highs

The Little White Duck: G5, A1

MA! (He's Making Eyes At Me): E♭5 + spoken lows

The Three Trees: Most of this spoken and I'm bad at pitching spoken stuff but there's an A5 at 12:50

[Platypus]

That's awesome! Thanks for going the extra mile.

B♭1 ("What Made Red Man Red")

This is actually one of the most solid B♭1s I've ever heard.
