Re: A Bass Needing Some Range Advice
I agree with RX that a lot of this is easier said than done and can be taken the wrong way, so forgive me if I didn't put up that disclaimer first.

That said, I agree 500% with Dante about experimentation. That's really the only way to figure out your voice. You can't experiment incorrectly...that's why it's experimentation.
This is very true. EVERY sound you make when experimenting, be it correct or not, is an important sound. Discovering all of these different sounds will show you what your voice can do. You'll find that your voice won't like certain sounds, so you stay away from them. But, then, other sounds you may seem ok with. The only way you will truly know your voice is through this process of self-discovery. No one can teach you all the fine details of your voice. For instance, drinking milk has no effect on my voice whatsoever. Had I listened to all the vocal advice out there to not drink milk, I would have never discovered this. Just try everything. Anything and everything until you learn exactly how your instrument responds to it all.
