Use this website: https://www.vocaroo.com (or Youtube) to record yourself singing the infamous F# from Learning to Live. This should be pretty fun to hear everyone attempting it. :tup
This was originally going to be a contest, but the possibility of having more than 10 people or so participating would mean the voting would have to be bracketed, which would be more trouble than it's worth. Also everyone would likely just vote for themselves. So now, it's a "just for fun" thing.
Everyone's attempts will be listed here in the OP for convenience.

Here's my contribution to this wonderful idea.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOLFIfOlpKk
Sorry guys. I'm all congested so instead of my note reaching the F# I wound up just kinda shreiking.
-
I will do that tomorrow when my daughter is not asleep

Horrible rendition. First of all, that was in fucking G#. Not F#, motherfucker, G#. It's shit like this, Joe. Secondly, your voice is abysmal. Your vocal technique (or lack there of) is horrid and your breath control is nearly as weak. Learn to sing from your diaphragm and I might take you seriously. Might.
:neverusethis:

Fuck you, Seth. I have a vocal coach, who says that I'm improving a lot. And I have a cold. Asshole. :angry:
-
Come on guys, let's get some more F#'s in here.
-
Can I hit it for an octave lower? :biggrin:
-
This is a fantastic Idea. I always wanted to do something like this, but was pretty embarrassed. Here we go,

https://vocaroo.com/?media=vmRKfubym2UhbWNfx
:lol Yeah, so I am not really a singer, but I actually tried my best... And I don't want to hurt my voice, so I am an octave lower (at least). However, I gotta admit, recording this was quite a bit of fun! :laugh:
Edit: TURN DOWN VOLUME! And yeah, no webcam...

My voice sucks here, you can totally hear my voice change from my chest to my head voice (not my falsetto) and my mic sucks. I know I can do this better.
-
lol. Some of these aren't even terrible.
When is Nicky posting his though?

I vote for you because you are an Eagles fan :metal :metal
I'll try an attempt soon at this F#. I know I am going to fail miserably
-
https://vocaroo.com/?media=vVuNbibRpvc0RCZPL
Great, now my neighbors think I'm crazy. Thanks, DTF!
-
The point in the border between what I can produce with my chest voice and falsetto is terrible... please bear with me:
Ok:
https://vocaroo.com/?media=vPBuCIYDarBC2Q0H3 (https://vocaroo.com/?media=vPBuCIYDarBC2Q0H3)
At least I held the note for a little bit. My falsetto doesn't sound all too good above the E5, or it doesn't even sound good at all - but significantly worse up there. This was pretty much all falsetto too, but whatever.

https://vocaroo.com/?media=vFWatpXzFj03gChox :facepalm:
I didn't have speakers that could play it loud enough so I didn't hear the song. It was hard getting it in sync and in perfect pitch.
As you can hear I'm not a vocalist and I have a quite poor technique, especially when I try singing in the stratosphere...
-
Okay guys I'll give it a shot!
Wooooah ooooohh oh!
Woooooooaaaah Ooooooh ohh!
Wooooooo-oooooooooooo-WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Phew guys I think I nailed it to be honest!

laaame m0hawk :facepalm: :biggrin:

Luckily for the entire internet, I don't have a microphone.
But this thread is amazing.
-
Man I didn't even now how difficult this is until you try :)
-
well, I think most of us can reach the F# in some way. But the notes leading up to the f# is quite hard because most of us have to switch registers two times or so.
We need more recordings of the F#, guys! :metal
-

Two times? Just the once really, but since it goes right through the passaggio I guess you could say it's chest voice into mixed chest-head then into pure head voice if you're doing it correctly, in which case it should sound like one connected voice (although there are often obvious tonal differences between head and chest voice).
Of course, there may be a few castratos/pre-pubescents/girls out there who can do it all in chest voice.
If I'm not wtf-pwning my larynx I'm already in mixed at the start of the run anyway since my voice wasn't really built to go that high (I can hit the F# but only by making a noise you'd use to disperse angry mobs). Thin Lizzy songs are more my register :)
-

Agreed
-
Wow Phoenix87 that is very close to octave higher ":D
-
Tried this a while ago, pretty shaky but just about hit it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px_NmHk1H8g
this is probably the best version on the net though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYdCVHWfixg&NR=1
-
jag66, that is a nice try. The two first parts were very promising because you managed singing it without sounding too strained. I was actually sure you were going to hit the f# , but you didnt :p sounds like you actually were too high Was close though... Btw I like the tone of your voice as well :).
-
I feel like I can hit everything prior to the F# pretty well (though obviously straining), but even in falsetto, I can't really hit that final note. I'm certainly no tenor, though.
-
As you can see, I'm an amazing singer:

That is seriously one of the funniest things I have ever seen :lol
-
Thanks guys. :lol Just to tell you guys I WAS actually trying. It's just I can't go high at all and I wanted to see what would happen if I gave that a try. That was the result. :lol
-
:rollin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh9YYoN3v6M (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh9YYoN3v6M)
Some attempts at the high remind of this for some reason
No offense at all though. Other attempts I've seen, yours is way better. Way better than I could ever do
-
Poor guy.
-
Brilliant topic. Just because I don't have a singing voice I had to make a stereo version! I can only reach up there or higher (in falsetto of course) in the morning, later in the day I'm nowhere near it. I don't/can't sing anyway, so it's not really a problem though :)

OMG! Thank you to the contributors of this thread. :rollin :rollin :rollin
This thread is a pure spectacle! Kinda like the Challenger disaster or the Hindenberg. It is cool to look at and you cant look away......but you know people died.
It takes some balls to do what you guys did. Thanks for this! Give me more

Hey, looong-time lurker here. When I saw this absolutely amazing thread I just felt obliged to post ;D
Here goes...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CObBR1qTQNA

Haha, love this thread. I'll do one tonight.
-
OP is now updated with everyone so far. If I missed yours, just let me know.
As you can hear I'm not a vocalist and I have a quite poor technique, especially when I try singing in the stratosphere...
Dude don't worry about it. This thread is supposed to be hilarious. By the way, if you noticed that I put this emote :facepalm: next to your link in the OP, that was an unfortunate mistake. I must have accidentally copied and pasted it along with your link.
-
BTW, I finally did one.
https://vocaroo.com/?media=vfD0Or16INovdMCdu
I told myself I wouldn't laugh at the end...couldn't help it.
-
https://vocaroo.com/?media=vHp9ItTWR4wknvNFZ
It's pretty much perfect, except my voice is really strained, I have a lot of trouble rising from the beginning to the end, I don't actually hit the F5, I'm completely out of tune, and I can't sing at all.
But other than that.
-
What happens when I try to recreate the F#?

Cheezfest.....that was pretty impressive. Jaffa, um, sorry bra, probably not buying the album.... ;D
-
Here is mine.. I think I hit the F#, I haven't practiced singing in ages. The most I sang recently was at the DT concert last night lol.
https://vocaroo.com/?media=vCnEeglixSoVTazjF
I think my mic might be busted, I turned down the volume and it still crackles.. :)
Any advice from some of the more knowledgeable here?
-
Jaffa, um, sorry bra, probably not buying the album.... ;D
I wouldn't even give the album as a gift, except to people I hate.
-
Jaffa...you, me, and LLTWM should do an album together. We're clearly the best singers in this thread.
-
Are you okay with a cappella?
-
Absolutely. We don't need music to carry our beautiful voices.

Awesome! But... We might need a fourth. Anyone know where we can find Nicky Spanjaards?

He's referring to the second passagio.

If you need some growls, I think I know someone who may be available.

Great idea. Just recorded a take of that in case we ever have a thread for it. :lol
-
When I'm doing vocal exercises I have hitted the note sometimes, but it's extremeley tough for me. I hit it using falsetto, whilst James' voice sounds natural when doing it. If one of these days I'm in the mood, I might try contribute here :lol
-
Oh dear....this thread just made my day!!! :rollin
My voice is too bass to do an attempt of this... but looking forward to the DAY AFTER DAY thread...

Nice, Seth. You have such a deep speaking voice that I wouldn't expect you to be able to go that high.

Bump because golden threads like this should not go unnoticed.

I can hit the note in falsetto, but I can't hold it for very long without running out of breath.
