Something about this idea mixed with a night at the opera
appeals to me. |
|
|
Have any singers used this technique to extend their vocal range in performance or recording? I would like to hear this. |
|
|
Not that I know of. Might be interesting. |
|
|
Not one person's thought of using both and having the pitch
change as suggested here? I find that hard to believe. They'd
naturally separate in the lungs and create the described pitch
transition effect. |
|
|
Can't believe nobody's ever thought of this before but
evidently nobody has. I've played around with both separately,
never recorded anything and never both of them together but
this seems like a no brainer. |
|
|
Yea, the: AT THE SAME TIME!! link the guy doesn't do it right,
the one I found, the guy did it so his voice started out high
and
got lower. |
|
|
So this is even cooler now that it's proven to work but that
this would provide the right sequence/mixture to have it do
the high to low change every time. |
|
|
You have to be careful with inhaling the heavier gasses -
they're harder to breath out. You'd need warning signs on the
can to protect yourself from lawsuits - and maybe that
wouldn't even be enough. |
|
|
Also, sulphur hexafluoride is a potent and persistent
greenhouse gas, so we probably don't want to be encouraging
frivolous uses. |
|
|
True, what about nitrous oxide instead? Make it
popular at parties. |
|
|
And here's the warning sign I'd have on it: "DON'T DO
THIS!", which is the warning sign on this idea as well. |
|
|
CO2 is dense enough to change pitch; plenty of it around too.
Not sure about the safety of mixing it with helium &
inhaling... (I read somewhere a long time ago that "party
balloon helium" also contains reasonable amounts of oxygen,
specifically because of people inhaling it; a quick check of my
local gas supplier says this is wrong (97% He, 3% air)). |
|
|
Huh, you mean as a safety thing they made us goofy guys who use a helium activated Micky Mouse voice at parties to get the chicks a little safer by putting in some oxygen? |
|
|
Well my faith in industry has just been restored. At least the helium filled party balloon industry. |
