Want to learn to sing bass but not sure where to start? In this video, professional bass singer and vocal coach Matt shares what he would do if he had to start from scratch in 2026, based on 15 years of professional singing.

Whether you're a beginner bass singer, a baritone with a low voice, or someone who wants to sing lower, these are the techniques Matt would work on first, without chasing the ridiculously low notes you see on social media.

Matt has performed professionally in the West End, on national tours, in opera and as a session singer, and in this video he explains the basics he'd focus on to build a stronger, more reliable voice.

You'll learn about:

Why pitch comes first, and how to fix it if a song is too high
Breathing from your stomach to reduce tension
What twang is, including nasal twang and oral twang
Safe belting, and why belting doesn't have to be loud
Anchoring, and why singers disagree about it
Retraction, and how it brightens and widens your sound
Why guys are afraid to use their head voice, and why you shouldn't be

If you've been searching for how to learn to sing bass, how to start singing as a beginner, how to sing from scratch, or practical bass singing techniques for 2026, this video is a good place to start.
