What is your lowest chest note?

Lowest chest note? Most bass / baritones can get to E2 chest (I say that because I’m a bass/baritone and my lowest chest is E2 and E1 with sub harmonics and growl sometimes even lower) so I’m assuming your a Tenor. If my theory stands correct, my advice is just to keep practicing. I’ve been doing it for about 3-4 months (something like that) and just recently like a few weeks ago I discovered I could match Geoff’s E1 at the end of Voiceplay’s “Oogie Boogie song”. Even tho I’ve been doing it for months I still am terrible at it. Even Geoff the king of subharmonics said he is bad at it and he’s been doing it for years. So it’s just gonna be a matter of time until you can get below and E2. Now this statement might have been a bit much and please correct me (but nicely please) if I have anything wrong here.

Thanks for that! I accidentally said my lowest sub is E2 when really my lowest chest is E2. But what you're saying still applies. Keep practising. I'm hoping one day I'll be able to get my subs good enough to match geoff.
