I am a bass singer who's looking to get into voice acting and possibly starting an a cappella group. I was looking at microphones and saw that for most high-quality voice mics, the lowest frequency response is usually 40hz, or just below a piano E1, which is the lowest note of a string double bass.
However, I employ the same technique that singers like Tim Foust use to get lower than an E1 (the strongest example is the D1 he sings in Home Free's cover of Honey I'm Good by Andy Grammer on Youtube, a few seconds into the bass line at 2:30).
So my question is, do I need to find a mic with a lower frequency response than 40hz in order to pick up notes like this, or will the natural overtones create a sound that is just as deep?
