Hi all! I've never really done notewatching before, so I'm sure this isn't perfect, but this has been my passion project for the past few weeks. I'm not entirely sure on everything (particularly whether Sherri is a Stoner's G5 is chest or head voice, that'd be a really strong bold if it was chest), so it'd be great if some more experiences people could check my homework here :)

[Homelander]

Great thread! I absolutely love Third Eye Blind.

[Bink]

Been waiting for a thread for this guy for a long time, just one thing for the G♯2 section, make sure it's using the right ♯ symbol

[Bink]

Also one other thing to keep in mind; you really should claim the singers at Singer Index and Thread Moderation before you release the thread, other than it's an amazing first thread, great job!

[Homelander]

I find it quite strange that he never hit an E-flat 5. Either way, great singer!

Isn't it?? I was looking so hard for an Eb5 and I just never found one, if anyone finds one anywhere PLEASE link it here

Yeah, lol. I’ll try and find one if I can. :)

[BAZanine]

Heyo! If you could link the E2 and the G♯5 in the Vocal Range listing that'd be great. Also, I think that passage with the bold F♯5s does get up to G5, although I'd probably keep just the F♯5s bolded. And also also, that bolded E2 sounds like an F2 to me.

[Bink]

I also wouldn't underline that bold E2 as well, yeah it's a bit quiet but I definitely wouldn't call it obscured in the mix

Sure, I can update the listing! And yeah, that E2 is an E half sharp. The demos were a pain because they were never tuned to a note, so I had to approximate. I do think it should be rounded down to E2, but it's definitely close, and I get both lines of reasoning. If the general consensus is that it should be rounded up I can do that

Edit: I was waffling. Obvious F2 in retrospect

[avi]

Update: found an old demo tape with a bunch of obscure songs. Has an Eb5 on it so I'll be notewatching it and adding to the page soon

Edit: Added the songs, somehow his range has expanded by a semitone, there were two Eb5s that are both chest voice, there was another E2, and there's an F#6 that is uncannily convincing but still very suspect. If anyone wants to debate my ruling on that F#6 then be my guest because I am so unsure about it.

[avi]

Turns out I found a total of 5 Eb5s just looking through some obscure songs I didn't know about before. I feel kinda stupid for missing so many, but hey, they're all here now

[Electric Mami]

I hear the bold F♯4 as a G4, other than that I don't have anything special to say and think the thread will be ready to be moved to Range Stuff

You're totally right and I goofed. Should be good now

[avi]

After being stunlocked by that F#6 for the last year or so, I finally got the courage to add it to the thread. Try not to think about it :joker:

[Macca]

What are you thoughts on this E6 in Jumper?

I used to have it in questionable, but I removed it after listening to their 1993 demo and finding basically that same yelp several times. I think it's just a modified sample, might be Stephan might not be, but the original pitch is basically indiscernible. I definitely don't think it was an E6 when it was produced

[amadeusd]

Have noted in the pitching thread, but I think the purported C#2 isn't one. I think its meant to be a D, but barely touches it and an Eb would be countable.
That said, I'm no arbiter on these things at this stage - but I iso'd it and it seemed fairly clearly as described above.

Agreed that it's not C#2 (I kinda just went with what Mami said lol). I would maybe count a D2 from it, but Eb2 is also perfectly reasonable. D2 is currently the more popular interpretation, so until there's a bit more corroboration on Eb2 I think I'll keep it there. Definitely subject to change though

Totally reasonable
