Trouble with Low Pitch songs.

as in The Joker, Shiver, Hey Man Nice Shot. Anytime the majority of the song is a really low pitch. I can't seem to get my voice that low consistently and it's really frustrating :/

Anyone got any tips?

easy to say but not quite as helpful when I don't really know how to accomplish that.

I know an octave is a wave with half or double the wave length of the original but yeah.... i don't really know how to translate that into singing.

Instead of a low octave C, for example, just sing a C again, but in a higher octave. It's the same note, but in a different octave.

Ok i think i'm starting to get the hang of it but it gets a bit confusing switching octaves for just a couple words in a phrase. Ima keep working at it.

Try this exercise:
Pick a starting pitch - preferably a one low in your vocal range.
Now sing do re mi fa so la ti do ti la so fa mi re do - going up and down the scale.
The do's are one octave apart. After you sing the scale a couple times, try skipping between do's. do DO do.

Repeat this with different pitches. Eventually, you should be able to sing octaves for any given pitch, without going through the entire scale.
