helium balloons = vocal pinch harmonics
« on: August 25, 2009, 03:50:41 AM »
anyone watch bang goes the theory on bbc1?

turn out that the squeaky voice you get from breathing in helium from a balloon doesn't change the pitch, just the harmonics of your vocal tone because helium is less dense than air, seems kind of obvious now, but technically it's vocal pinch harmonics ;)

now to find some helium and add a ton of vibrato on it
