No woman on earth can sing as low as Joy Chapman.

The Surrey-based singer is now a world-record holder after hitting a very deep 33.57-hertz C1 note.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 all official, ,B次元官网网址� Chapman said of her B次元官网网址淟owest vocal note by a femaleB次元官网网址� world record, achieved Feb. 21 and recorded for a video posted to her Youtube channel.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 not even my lowest note, so IB次元官网网址檓 going to do another attempt to smash the record,B次元官网网址� she promised.

In the minute-long video, Chapman introduces herself as a 52-year-old Surrey resident who works as a singer, songwriter and tribute artist. As a B次元官网网址渞etro-modern countryB次元官网网址� musician, she has a 15-song album coming out called .

Her world record is one way for Chapman to get noticed in the music world.

B次元官网网址淎bout a year ago, I was just doing scales and vocal training, and through the years I noticed different vocal coaches kind of freaking out as IB次元官网网址檓 going down the vocal scale, that it was creeping them out,B次元官网网址� Chapman recalled with a laugh.

Her niece did some research and discovered that the female record for low-note singing was well above how low Chapman was able to go. B次元官网网址淭hat kind of started this,B次元官网网址� said Chapman, who lives in the Clayton area, on the Surrey-Langley border.

Turns out, the record attempt was a long, nerve-wracking ordeal over the past year.

B次元官网网址淓verything had gone wrong with all the tries before this one,B次元官网网址� Chapman said. B次元官网网址淚t was ridiculous, the number of things that went wrong.B次元官网网址�

First, there were problems with a low-end limiter on the mic. Days later, JoyB次元官网网址檚 mother slipped into a coma and died, resulting in a sad delay. Later, studio noise aborted another session, and yet more camera issues caused problems.

Understandably, Chapman said she was nervous in the moments before she finally hit the record low note in February. B次元官网网址淪o uptight with everything,B次元官网网址� she said her vocals tightened up, so she wasnB次元官网网址檛 able to go as low as she typically can.

B次元官网网址淲hat I can sing is at the end of the sonogram, apparently,B次元官网网址� Chapman explained. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 being lined up with a specialist to scope my vocals to see whatB次元官网网址檚 actually happening, for science, that allows me to go that low. ItB次元官网网址檚 hypothesized that because I have a condition called hyper-mobility syndrome in my body, that IB次元官网网址檓 able to lower my larynx than most humans. WeB次元官网网址檇 like to get some universities involved because we need more forensic equipment.

B次元官网网址淭he sonograms and mics have trouble picking up the notes,B次元官网网址� Chapman added, B次元官网网址渂ecause when youB次元官网网址檙e going as low as I am it becomes difficult to hear the notes. ItB次元官网网址檚 almost not notes, itB次元官网网址檚 vibrations at that point.B次元官网网址�
