Bass Register?

Is it possible to learn the bass techniques Avi Kaplan, Tim Foust, Paul David Kennamer use to sing/speak their extreme low notes, within the first octave? Singing low would be pretty cool too :)

    Ken's course does teach you to expand your range in both directions, but at this point does not have modules that are specific to extreme bass techniques.

    Search for subharmonics. Those are amazing when mastered.

    I messed around with the song Low Rider for a few moments. Does this low range count as a chest-fry mix, or is it only fry?

    At times when you have a chest sound going WITH a fry (breakup) in the sound it's a mix, but most of the time you are frying it's just fry. It sounds good, and I don't think most people are going to pick it apart and complain about the fry. The fry sounds pretty low.

    The confusing thing about the lowest register of the voice is the point where you have to embrace the natural fry that occurs as you cross into the first octave. I know I'm losing power around the low D, going into the C territory, and I try to mix into even lower notes so they sound full. I believe I have the timbral qualities of a high bass, or extremely low baritone. So I've been looking for similar voiced singers to aspire to for range as well, not sure if Peter Steele of Type O Negative is all I have.

    Well if you Listen closely you will notice 2 things 1. When they Hit this Note only at the end of the Song 2. They mostly don't say any Word. Cuz alot of it has to do with how to project that Note and also distorting the voice in someone.

    I've been working on my low notes myself, and it’s definitely possible to get those deep tones with some dedicated practice. I’ve found that focusing on vocal exercises, especially ones that strengthen your vocal cords and improve breath control, really helps. Vocal fry is a great technique to build that low range. It took me a while to get comfortable with it, but with regular practice, you can definitely start hitting those lower notes.
