A friend of mine sings in a choir.
At the weelend I made some vocal and cello tracks with him.
I wanted to make an experiment with his voice: Is it possible to make a choir with one solo voice?
Here is the result: The one man choir starts on 1:54:

Not really. Actually, I hear 'one voice', then some ensemble effect around. Effect is not bad in se, but a real choir, where different voices having slightly delayed attacks etc etc but also, probably more essential different voices with different timbral characteristics, not really. Cool track btw, made me think of a kind of Morricone meeting Mussorgski for certain parts. Cute.
I dont know of any trick to make a single voice sounding like an entire choir, except the usual ensemble/chorus etc units. I think that the more articulations, dentals, words, phonemes the single voice has, the more difficult it will be to make it sound like a choir. Might be easier with the traditional ah, oh, hmmm etc. ( I know it probably doesnt help that much, but well maybe someone else will have better solutions ... )

Hi Lotuzia,
many thnaks for your feedback.
I made now a new version. There are 4 voice tracks.
One with the original voice in the middle.
A male choir with shifted formants on the right. A "female choir" with transposition of one octave and formant shift. And a male choir with some voice duplications.
I know that it cannot be perfect. But I hope that it sounds now a little bit better.

I cannot hear a choir, just a single voice with some reverb and harmonies.
Nevertheless, I like the track, remembers me a bit of the early Vangelis...

I can hear some high vox but it does mostly seem to follow the low.
Some definite shades of Vangelis there, I agree...reminded me of parts of his 1492 soundtrack.

Nice sounding track. The pads are great but I can't really hear a 'choir' as well. Try doing what Greg suggests.
It sounds great anyway...

Not bad at all, but as the other say, do multiple take where the singer used his voice differently and then mix it.

Hi to all.
many thanks for your help.
In one of my next songs I will try to use your tipps.
Hi woggle, I like your song very much.
I wish I would know a girl that can sing so nice.
