The human vocal chords can be pretty amazing, we seem to be able to make a whole range of sounds. I've watched youtube videos of people singing backwards and then playing the video forwards - and they can be pretty spot on. But what I would really like to know is if a human voice can sing lead vocals and backup vocals at the same time. The way you'd do it, I think, is to overlay the two voices together in an audio program - listen to it over and over, and try to reproduce the sound with your voice.... reckon it's possible???

when you say nice, youre also saying ice

well people can sing and beatbox at the same time so i would say its possible.

how stoned were you when you cameup with this idea?

I've heard of people being able to sing two notes at the same time before (ie. just tones, not actual pronunciation), but I would imagine that it would be a pretty big leap to go from that to actually singing two parts to a song. The amount of training required just to sing one verse, let along an entire song really doesn't seem worth it, even though it would be cool.

haven't you listened to an album in the last 20 years or so? singers have been doing it for ages... ;)

wonder why they always need extra backup singers when they perform live tho :\

Is it possible for this thread to suck and blow at the same time?

It is possible to sing two parts at the one time. Some Asian country does it and it's f***ing insane. They describe it like learning to speak - it's something their culture does inherently and it's very hard to learn or teach.

Looks like it's called "throat singing" and it's Tuvan/Mongolian.

I watched a doco on it years ago and it's fkn incredible. A very weird sound - they hit these weird frequencies by shaping their mouths and throat while also using their vocal chords.

Try swallowing saliva twice straight after each other. Bet you can't.

lmao I just tried that and nearly choked...

haha same.

First time it didn't really work, second time I managed it in reasonable time.

Now I have a gut full of slag :(

Haha, I nearly coughed saliva all over my desk.

I did it fine... the trick is to swallow logarithmically

how stoned were you when you cameup with this idea?

haha its so true too, reminds me of the time I had this idea to run a train around my entire house like a sushi train on a larger scale that would bring me drinks and s***
I was dead set certain it was a great idea at the time

Smoking Crack is fun.

not quite the same but... http://www.youtube.com/user/goonieman86

pretty sure humans have dual vocal cords, so yes it's very possible.

Billies asian dude sounds like some kind of high revved woodworking device!

Whoop, gayest. man. evar. even gayer than hunter. (maybe)

i can swallow saliva twice easily



u pussies

^ saliva not semen

LOL

well played, you old c***

ha ha
as elvis would say
why thank you very much!!

i think the real question is, can two people both say half a word (complete garbage if listened to independently) then have both sounds played together and form a word

brb getting baked.

the problem is that the pitch of the voice works kind of like a panpipe, ie you blow into a pipe and it makes a certain pitch, longer pipes make lower pitch and vice versa. Now because the vocal chord relies on air passing thru it to vibrate(resonate) the pipe to make the pitch, to make a 2nd pitch would require the vocalchord to be 2 different sizes (and there fore 2 different things) at once so to speak, which is a physical impossibility.

This thread is f***ing excellent. I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

haha, digital love guy was awesome!

Razel omg that dude rools
