voice register poll for men and women

Post Reply New Topic

oh wow! never knew that
no wonder they looked identical...
idk why they call those women cougars and not pumas. maybe the company Puma would sue or something ...

they should call men like that jaguars and I doubt that the company Jaguar would mind.

When I was a lot younger (sat 40 years) the organist at the church I attended and sang in their choir, referred to me as Pavarotti (although I was more of a Sir Jon Vickers).

That’s what you get whenone’s voice teacher tried to turn all her students into coloratura sopranos....

i suppose they wouldn't mind so long as you carefully pronounced it "jahg-yoo-R." (that is how they make their dealers say the name).

my voice deepened by an octave when i turned 12. i have a large adam's apple which i suppose had something to do with the pitch.

my favorite bass singer of all, in terms of sheer musicality if not ultimate depth-

Cougars and pumas are the same dang thing. Like p*****s and kitties.

Mountain lion, cougar, puma , catamount, felis concolor, panther, are all different names for the same species of big American cat that ranges the whole length of both north and south america. "Puma" is the Latin American term, but Anglo north americans use the word as well, along with all of those other terms for the animal.

But yes. When he/she "meows" he sounds like an adult male person saying "wow" over and over again.

i wish i could read their minds and know what they were saying when they meow. actually this cougar sounds like an old woman who smoked all her life. a contralto.

Yeah. The animal does sound kinda like a tobacco chewing trailer trash old lady.

We heard an expert on NPR say that "cats never meow to each other. Just to humans". And that "meow" is really a compound "word". The "me" part is what they say to a potential mate, and it means "come hither". And the "ow" is what they say to a rival, and it means "back off". So when cats talk to humans they say "come hither, and back off" at the same time!

I guess..."gimmie food, but no hanky panky! And thats an order!".

The cat family is divided between the "roaring cats" and "the purring cats". Ones that do one dont do the other thing. Has to do with the structure of the larynx. African lions ofcourse roar, but dont purr. But despite being almost as big, and looking much like the female African lion, the American mountain lion is a purring cat, like a house cat, and doesnt roar.

But they can make a high pitched scream. My cousins heard one in a tree in their backyard in Colorado one night. It can make your pants turn brown as fast as a lion's roar can.

Fun fact: English is not my first language.
Other fun fact: I acknowledged my error.

Cougars were Felis Concolor when Linneus catalogued them, but they've since been moved and given their own genus. They are now Puma Concolor.

interesting.

I saw a magazine article about how they finnally go around to DNA testing of the cat family.

The Cat family had been split between the purring cats (mostly small), and the roaring cats (mostly big).Beyond that they had no clue as to how living cats are related.

Though big enough to be maneaters like the jaguar, lion, tiger, and leopard, the mountain lion is in the purring category- like the house cat.

But when the did the DNA it turns out that cougars are on their own little branch of the cat family, with only one other twig. That one companion close relative is the cheetah. Cougars and cheetahs are each other closest cousins.

Interestingly baby cougars in the first weeks of life are spotted. Their markings are quite similar to those of adult cheetahs.

Baby African lion cubs also have faint spots on their undersides which they later loose. But the spots on lion cubs have a rosette pattern, much like that on adult leopards, and unlike the spots on cheetahs.

Awwww...

Theyre just overgrown kitties. In fact they look a lot like Abbyssinians.

Edna has a nice quality to her voice.

Alto-soprano.

anybody else here find that the pitch of most popular music is way above their natural vocal range [for singing along]?

I've no idea about current pop music, as I hardly ever listen to it. Back in the day (1960s and 1970s), I think a lot of people would have found pop records a tad too high to comfortably sing along with, if they cared about sounding any good. In the end I didn't have much of a problem myself, because of that discovery I mentioned before about extending the upper range and making it sound stronger by deliberately pushing the envelope by way of making it louder and higher. But I found audiences had trouble singing along to my music in the keys I chose. Most people don't develop their upper range unless they're more than casually interested in singing. I suspect most rock and pop singers use the same trick I discovered, hence the higher pitch. I doubt many male casual singers can emit a G above middle C very firmly, in other words I suspect the modal untrained male voice is baritone and the modal rock / pop male voice is between baritone and tenor, at least for singers with a relatively "muscular" style.
