Chroma Starlight Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Quote O strength of Wisdom who, circling, circled, enclosing all in one lifegiving path, three wings you have: one soars to the heights, one distils its essence upon the earth, and the third is everywhere. Praise to you, as is fitting, O Wisdom (For extra impression, open it in youtube and start it playing, wait a few seconds and then open a second copy and play that alongside.)

Wulfie Reanimator Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I like any vocalist with a wide range, so I tend to like men who can hit high pitches and women who can hit low pitches. For example, PelleK has a really impressive voice: (This isn't a song, you can skip through it.) But the primary thing that decides whether or not I like the songs are the lyrics and subject matter. As much as I like his voice, I don't like most of his covers because of the kinds of songs they are and how he doesn't always go through many different ranges of his voice. That said, on average, my playlist is mainly filled with either female vocals or high-pitched men. I guess I like softer vocals with a bit of low-tones mixed in. Alec Benjamin is a good example of the kind of vocals I like. He varies a lot between low and high in every song, but mostly stays on the high end.

Maryanne Solo Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I pose the question.... Is the wonderful Hildegard Von Bingen 🥰 -> voice morphing using top end, rack mount specialist studio FX units?? I dare anyone to find ANY information on the artist. I say 10 to 15% of her "timbre" is electronically generated. Remember that Bardcore, (mostly) is generated from extensive synth sample libraries. Any artist connected to her is awfully silent on details regarding her presence/history/activities = o.0 Opinions?

Amina Sopwith Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) That's a typo, the artist's stage name is Hildegard von Blingin, and it's a play on a real name. I looked her up when I first discovered the genre and was wondering who she was and how authentic it was as a realistic medieval sound. Found this. https://medium.com/the-gleaming-sword/hildegard-von-blingin-cornelius-link-and-the-rise-of-bardcore-9ce00a745933 I think I also read elsewhere that she claimed to be 28, can't remember where she's said to be from but it was somewhere on mainland Europe. I wasn't hugely surprised to discover it's unlikely to be quite what people really were listening to in medieval times, but I still enjoyed it. I had a collection of original lute music years ago. I don't have any skills in sound production, so I can't say anything about that. I did think she sounded genuine, but I don't have a trained ear for voice morphers so I'm probably quite easy to fool on those.

For me, Gopi, it's the male voice by far and I'd say mostly because I want to hear instruments and the power and passion of the instruments. Now, I'm not saying women cannot play musical instruments but men do take advantage there because the instruments are heavy on the shoulder. However, I listen to Classical music when working. Now if you want me to take a ballad singer and choose a female voice or a male voice to sing a ballad, I'd still likely pick male as my preference. I like the older male and some female balladeers as opposed to today's female pop singer balladeers. The main female singers I like/love are Stevie Nicks but her writing is so superb too and Loreena McKennitt whom I call the Aurora Borealis of music. There are some female singers I like but it would probably be in the new age area or Celtic music genre like Enya. I tend to want to hear music with passion as opposed to soothing as you mention unless I'm listening to Celtic or new age. However, women can sing with passion, I'm just commenting on your soothing comment as I'd rather go with passion.

Definitely the most underground thing I'm going to hear today. I'll offer up Lingua Ignota as competition - most of her singing is actually clean, but she has her moments of raw rage as well. This song is off Caligula, which she wrote as an exercise in self-therapy when recovering from an abusive relationship. Women definitely aren't stuck in soothing all the time. In terms of male vs female voices I'm pretty sure I don't really have a preference, but your options are pretty limited in the more extreme genres, which tend to be pretty male-dominated. (If anyone listens to this be aware the volume completely skyrockets about 60 seconds into the song.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotshaz Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I like it when female singers can sing nice high notes. Having said that though I really love male singers too. I think I prefer listening to male singers unless there is a female singer that has a nice sweet voice that can hit high notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pussycat Catnap Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) I listen to music based on the message in the lyrics. Not the singer and sometimes not even the music style. So for me the question is just not relevant. For me, something like this is perfection: - and if you're looking at vocals, what's key here is that it's a duet. So much of Jamaican music features two singers who swap between each other. In this case you have a generation gap as well - so each speaks from very different experiences. (the song is Koffee's newest hit, and this is Buju joining her in a remix, so she has most of the airtime in this one.)

Ren Toxx Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Inclined to females because they use their voice more like another instrument, letting their melodic line shine on its own; males rely on throat gymnastics (roarish, breathy, broken, etc) to express, which is fine if you’re into emotional singing. I’m not. I go so far as ignoring lyrics, so a German singer is as good to me as an English one. Therefore, if the singer starts being overly expressive on some point I’m supposed to get by following the lyrics’ meaning, it puts me off. (Same disclosure that this is all generalizations, of course, and I’m open to any number of exceptions, to the tune of not actually caring about the singer’s gender as long as he/she sings the way I like). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
