       @jneen some lessons (in which you work on both lower and upper end, as one affects the other, weirdly enough) with a pro (and months of letting them sink in) can get you 1–3 semitones more… but they’ll be weak, and not in bass timbre, at best a light baritone timbre. Old age will make the vocal cords slack a bit, which moves the ranger lower at the cost of loss of precision.Even Sir John Rutter bemoans not having “those beautiful low notes”, other than when getting ill with an infect.One can only make the best of what one has… perhaps you can go hiiiiiigh up instead? (I’m pretty happy with a range of now G₂–H♭₅, not all of it equally usable of course.)

       @mirabilos oh yeah training lower is *way* harder than training upper. i feel like i've lost a semitone or two of my low range since college tbh. i mean i've also been on estrogen for a decade so

       @jneen ok, I have no idea how hormons work on the vocal cords; their lower bound is pretty much set by their length, while going up is much less restricted…
