Mythbusters did that with an unamplified voice last year so yes it is possible.
Guys name was "Jamie Vendera " - link below
BTW their research came up with no evidence that it had actually been done unamplified before.

Mahalia Jackson? She did not sing in the higher registers. She sang in the lower ranges. I would think some opera singers could maybe break glass. I don't know any names. Maybe Charlotte Church? Mariah Carey may be a possibility.

I think it was Ella Fitzgerald and not Mahalia Jackson who broke the glass with their voice.

Resonance is the tendency of a equipment to oscillate at optimum amplitude at a definite frequency. This frequency is known with the aid of fact the equipment's resonance frequency. while damping is small, the resonance frequency is approximately equivalent to the organic frequency of the equipment, this is the frequency of loose vibrations. A resonant merchandise, whether mechanical, acoustic, or electric powered, will probable have extra advantageous than one resonance frequency (truly harmonics of the main effective resonance). it is going to likely be effortless to vibrate at those frequencies, and harder to vibrate at different frequencies. it is going to "%. out" its resonance frequency from a complicated excitation, at the same time with an impulse or a wideband noise excitation. In consequence, it truly is filtering out all frequencies different than its resonance. So each and every time the singer is able to sing in a frequency which suits with the resonant frequency of the glass, the glass vibrates with optimum amplitude available. considering the fact that glass isn't an truly elastic substance it breaks. There are situations interior the previous the place even bridges collasped with the aid of resonance. while squaddies bypass a bridge they are informed to no longer walk in rythem / tandem.

Yes.
A rockstar from Cal. did it and it was videotaped and screened on an episode of the show "Mythbusters", which is featured on the Discovery Channel and many other specialty channels. Try their website www.mythbusters.com for the name and episode number.
