Why Is It................

Why is it that whenever I encounter a claim of extraordinary vocal range, it is almost always ghastly exaggerated?

In the video, it sounded like his vocal range went down to about 35 Hz (which is impressive), but in order to have a 10 octave range, and his low range was 20 Hz (he didn't come close to that in the video), he'd have to be able to hit a high note of over 20 kHz..... (Count ten octaves from 20 Hz: 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280, 2560, 5120, 10240, 20480.) To give you an idea, most sopranos cannot make it to 2 kHz.............. He didn't demonstrate his high limit, so we're left in the dark.

In the other direction, if he could hit a male falsetto high "C", roughly 1000 Hz, he'd have to go down to *one* Hz to have a 10 octave range.
