Living Opera: this is what HIGH NOTES should look like!! || (especially for sopranos!)

Hey guys!!

I was in the studio today and messing with my high notes and it dawned on me: when high notes are produced well they actually LOOK a certain way!!

You don't have to take my word for it though! Go watch your favorite singers and I think you'll find this is a pretty consistent obversvation!!

In this video I do my best to explain and show you what this looks like.

I really hope it's helpful!!!!

You know you guys keep saying you are not voice teachers but you are actually saying things that help and they help more than MANY teachers I have had. These really help.

YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SMILE, AND NICELY EXPLAINED.

BTW - I totally forgot to shut off my music before I made this video...ooops!! So sorry the sound is a bit weird the first couple minutes....

[Rosannasfriend]

Thank you. I know you say you're not a teacher, but I'm sure you know enough to teach a few things. Don't be shy to share what you know.

Thank you for your input.I appreciate all the instructions you contributed.

You have such a terrific voice. Maybe your on-screen comments could be in a colour other than white and stay on a little longer? I often have to rewind the video because they fly by!!

Opening the jaw slightly more and raising the smile muscles (without locking them) to lift the pillars of fauces creates the additional space required. And yes, it creates long. Wide embouchure is a disaster as you say. Thanks for sharing your journey. Pavarotti reckoned 20 years to develop his voice and always learning. When your body is your instrument the variability can be challenging. Ho hum.

Hi thak you so much for sharing your singing tips! Can you please explain something about the vocal attack/ onset (opera singing). Do you "feel" your cords closing before making the sound (so you concentrate a little bit about what's happening inside the throat) or do you just let the throat "open" and relaxed and just think the sound out and in front of you? (So you let the larynx and cords do the job by themselves without your control) I hope you understand what l mean. Thank you very much!

This is very helpful, and I love your channel. Thank you!

I am a soprano, but is really hard for to reach notes above F#5
:(

Hello！Thank you so much could share your sing tips, but I also have questions that puzzle me all the time, which is how to sing high with the low larynx? Could you give some tips to solve this issue?thank you so much!❤️

I’m so tired, it’s been 10 years and still no good sound. High larnix, ugh this passaggio - I’m just... I think it’s not meant to be.

I don't want to be unkind, but this is not real good singing (you have a very beautful voice).
You do not sing with an open throat and appogio, because there is no chestvoice in your voice. In your lower part of your voice (knodel) is closed!!! and that is a shame!, you teacher must have said it. Please, please listen to intervieuws from Maria Callas about using open throat and chestvoice, also Tebaldi it is very educational.
Your teacher is very bad for you! otherwise you wouldn't be afraid for singing.
