greenalert997x Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Probably no one from here knows that Billie uses vocal effect during live performances. I was analysing it for a long time and I'm 100% sure his vocal is always changed (but it isn't auto-tune), the effect makes his voice deeper and harder. just listen to the rehearsal of Broadway Idiot when Billie sings St.Jimmy without microphone or Ordinary World in the movie. The vocal effect on Awesome as fuck has the highest intesity and for instance lesser at Rock and Roll hall of Fame.

His voice seems naturally rawer at shows.
MillenniumFan Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 No, he may use some delay, reverb filters in few select places, such as in the ''bridge'' in Bang Bang, but other than that, in standard concerts, he doesn't use any live effects. What you may or may not have heard on Awesome as Fuck is Auto-Tune (I know it's debated, but I think it's fairly obvious. The band itself didn't want it done, but the sound engineers did it anyway it seems. Why, I don't know, there was absolutely no need, Billie was excellent live back then.) Of course they also polished and EQed his voice etc, all the standard stuff. Same thing with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance. Because it was broadcast over their own channel, it was slightly improved (EQed, mixed, some slight effects possibly, but certainly no autotune)

The vocal effect on Awesome as fuck has the highest intesity and for instance lesser at Rock and Roll hall of Fame. it's something called proximity effect. it's not a legitimate effect but its something that's natural. the closer you are to the microphone the more low end your voice has, to the point where it can even overload. it's standard practice in studio to stand about two inches or so back from the mic so that doesn't happen but live billie basically is kissing the mic the whole concert to make sure he's loud

It seems to have become stronger with age and grown back from it's late 90's recession. Hair transplant Billie's voice has definitely gotten higher pitched over the years, even his speaking voice, so much so recently that in London the other night when he was speaking I was kind of shocked for a second because it was so high. Whatever though its been getting progressively higher since the late 90s!

His hairline is so perfectly straight. Fairly confident Tre is on some sort of hair loss meds too, considering he was balding in the late 90's but hasn't lost a hair since. And Billie...idk...never seen a man his age with such thick hair, but he's the most likely to be all natural.
zzjay88 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 i remember Mike saying something about Tre having changed voice from an hihger pitced one to his usual in some of his stories.If you think about it it changed a lot more than Billie's. Billies changed too...but not that much i just listened to some lives of biab and well 12 years have passed...nothing wrong with being out of breath a little...and a bit less powerfull...imo theres more difference from dookie to AI,and same time has passed

Lol I wonder if you thought that at the same time as me, there was one point where I thought he was trying out a new "funny" high voice for a moment but then realised it was just him . I guess it's natural for people's speaking or singing voices to change over the years. But I think it seems more pronounced in Billie's case because he used to both speak and sing in a more kind of sullen/moody teenager way, it was a different way of singing on the older albums and a different attitude in interviews. Now he sings in a more refined way and speaks without the attitude the natural highness comes through.

So why Billies voice is totally different on Broadway Idiot live in 2013. He used attached microphone so it was probably impossible to conncent any effects. Even if he speaks to the audience during concerts his voice is heavier than usual, day to day voice

It was probably the first time he spoke that wasn't yelling and I was genuinely like who the fuck is in Billie's body?! 10 hours ago, zzjay88 said: i remember Mike saying something about Tre having changed voice from an hihger pitced one to his usual in some of his stories.If you think about it it changed a lot more than Billie's. It's very normal for mens voices to deepen as they get older so Tre's voice getting significantly deeper from when he was a teenager or in his early twenties makes perfect sense. Billie's voice (including speaking voice) becoming more high pitched throughout his thirties and forties isn't exactly the norm for most men which is why it's getting mentioned but it's not in any negative way. We all love him even if we can't immediately recognise him
DeJennsitized Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 I thought he sounded rather high pitched in London too! But I've thought that before about people I've seen live so wasn't sure if it was just Billie, or the way the sound carries in the arena via the microphone that made it sound like that somehow
