Tee Green (singer/songwriter/vocal coach) is the Guinness World record-holder for the longest held vocal note in a song recorded in a studio.
He achieved this milestone in 2011 while performing the Benard Ighner number "Everything Must Change". The song contains a same-pitch vocal note that stretches to 39 seconds. There are a few who have managed to surpass him in length, but not without some kind of digital manipulation involved or changes in pitch.
“I’ve been singing long notes for years as a party trick and have used this skill many times at charity events to help raise money,” said Green, who confirmed that 48 seconds was one of his best times for holding a single note. “When I sing I always give it everything I have at that time, but I recover quite quickly as I’m a vocal coach so I’m normally fit enough for a few more goes if needed. However, I usually feel the effects the next day so I remain silent for as long as possible.”
