Louis on stage at the How Did We Get Here? Tour in Miami - 24.07

[alarrylarrie]

No no you don’t understand. When I say One Direction is my home, I mean it.

It is because of One Direction I found an online community filled with the most incredible people.

Their music has been a soundtrack, a constant thread through so many of my experiences.

I have had some of the best days and some of the worst days of my life in this fandom. And we have weathered so much joy and so much grief together. We’ve lost people. We’ve seen scandals, we’ve seen triumphs. There has been kindness and generosity and love and heartache and pain and tragedy.

And through it all we’ve had their music, and each other.

We’ve laughed. We’ve cried. We’ve fought, we’ve come together, we have loved, and we have mourned.

What could possibly be more of a home than that?

Happy sixteen years of the band that changed (ruined? lol) my life.

From the bottom of the stairs to the top of the charts, always in our hearts (😉), one band, one dream, One Direction. Thank you, all of you, for making this my home.

Here’s to them: Niall, Liam, Louis, Harry, Zach (it’s Zayn) and here’s to all of you. Love you. ❤️

Hi Gina!! Hope you’re doing well! 😊 So I’ve now seen Louis twice, once last tour and just last night (which was an absolutely amazing time) and I’ve noticed both times that his voice in person is higher pitched than I usually hear it. In any videos he’s ever been in, like concert videos, interviews, his prerecorded music, his voice sounds deeper than it does in person.

And I’m just wondering why that is? Like are my ears deceiving me? Or does every video I’ve ever watched of him (including the videos I took myself last night) misrepresent how his voice actually sounds? Is that even possible?

Now I’ve never had the opportunity to meet him face to face so I can’t account for how his voice sounds without a microphone projecting it. But maybe that sounds slightly different in person vs videos too, I don’t know.

I’m not sure if you’ll know the answer but maybe someone who reads this might know? Thanks!!

Hi darling. I'm so glad you had such a good time. It looked like it was a great show!

And I don't know the answer to your question at all. Maybe @alarrylarrie has some thoughts on his voice/the mic situation? Or anyone else?

[alarrylarrie]

You’re not wrong!

So, a couple of things. Louis pitches all of his songs down just a hair. Not a lot! Just a little bit. He does this to save his voice - performing night after night is grueling, even on seasoned vocal cords like his.

Second- the sound from his mic is being mixed by the audio engineer, and often they will pitch it down because it’s a bit more pleasant on our ears AND easier to hear in larger, more crowded spaces.

Third- there is something called “the proximity effect.” This is something that happens to everyone, when you are super close to a microphone, it picks up the lower timbre/pitch of your voice because the amplifying device inside a microphone inherently boosts bass/lower frequencies. It is doing something called “muddying” his voice, it’s often why he pulls the mic down when he has to belt high, he’s worried he might be flat and the mic will amplify that.

In person he gets to use his natural voice, and he’s often doing interviews in radio studios. In those situations, “podcast” mics/studio mics/lav mics are CRAZY sensitive to any and all sound, but especially higher frequencies, because there isn’t much distance for the sound waves to reverberate (bounce around) in the studio.

In true person, though I’ve never met him, I think his voice is pitched up because he’s excited (and sometimes a little nervous) to be so close to fans. We all tend to go into a little higher pitch when presented with something that makes us happy. There’s a reason they call it “squealing with delight.”

Anyway! I hope this helps some!
