I expected his lowest note to be like B1 ngl.

He can definitely go way lower, the dude speaks in the low second octave normally. It's just that he's only ever really sang as Mr. Krabs from what I've seen, and Mr. Krabs doesn't go very low most of the time aside from uncountable incidental false chord nonsense. Hopefully I can find an instance of him humming a random B1 in some film he's in.
Edit: He sang a bit in tangled Spongebob and his low range has ballooned to a C2 C♯2 D2 B1, almost there.

I definitely wouldn't have his thresholds as that I would have his lows start at A2 if there was one and highs at A3

[IhateMana]

C3 - D4 would be fine imo

[IhateMana]

oh also that is not Clancy Brown singing on "This Grill Is Not a Home" and I'd hazard a guess that it's not on most of those Spongebob songs

In most sources Clancy is credited as singing on that.

[IhateMana]

ok, seems like that's been clarified over the years

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

I would definitely not count that section from "Ready As I'll Ever Be" as musical notes. It's literally just dialogue lines set to music, which is different than a spoken section being composed as part of a song with a specific rhythmic cadence that it's written around.

Hopefully this doesn't sound like too pedantic of a distinction, but I think others on here would agree that there's a difference between a spoken section in a song that's done with some degree of musical intent, and acting bits/line recitations that just happen to be pasted over a few instrumental bars of a song. For that matter, the "Fishin' for Money" D5 is kinda pushing it a bit as well...

[Gilad]

This guy has one of the coolest voices ever

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

Not to keep range destroying, but I would ABSOLUTELY not count that C♯5 from "Class of 2018". Sounds like a brief voice crack to me; really not worth counting for anything above like G♯4.

That's some great low singing in "Life After Happily Ever After Though" though; my only adjustment to that would be that it sounds like it bottoms at D2 rather than C♯2.

[VocalDudeGuy]

Clancy won't have 2 octaves if I have anything to say about it

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

Ironically I would actually say that the "Fueling the Bus" note would be countable as an italicized note, but I'm hearing it as more of a sharp C5 than a C♯5.


I would also italicize the "Barnacles" C5, but yeah it's otherwise legit.
