"The Impossible Dream" (from "Man of La Mancha") Berklee final exam piece

[Wuhhhht]

You made it too pop-y.

[quentinmacwell]

This was awesome indeed, but a few words of constructive criticism... don't fuck up the last long note. It makes audiences either love you or hate you.

[Eternidades11]

This song is so cute

[AuntJamyman]

You sound amazing, and that's coming from a singer myself. Your voice sounds naturally beautiful

[dangard88]

Was this piece chosen FOR you? Because youre right, it's NOT in your zone. And this is exactly the type of song in which you need to be in that zone. What makes this song one of the greatest pieces in B'way history is that fantastic inspiring high punch at the very end. Without that, it simply falls flat. You DO have a great singing voice (I can already hear you as Adam in 7BF7B) but try to stay in the range!

[athousandstrats]

@dangard88 Yes, it was chosen for me. It was almost 2 years ago when my voice and technique were still pretty green and unhoned. I know I definitely ran out of breath on that last note.

[TCt83067695]

i love how the first thing he picks is his bottle to drink water how cool lol

cool rendition ;)

[ninjettifire]

I realize it's been a few years since you posted this but have you ever thought of singing opera since then? I think your voice would be good for it. However I could be wrong.

[talkingCassie]

WOW your amazing!! We sang this in my choir!! BUT the first sopranos don't have the melody the bases do:(

[jooglenoogle]

omg.. you're voice. it's amazing.

[KaylzzTx]

This is amazing (: x

[craftofword]

That was pretty good. Vocally, you're rockin the house.

[SuperSenpaiMKZ]

Were you a naturally good singer? i really want to take vocal lessons because i love to sing but i dont think i could ever sing that great so im just curious.

[athousandstrats]

@SuperSenpaiMKZ Did you think it was good... haha

I think it takes a good deal of natural ability but one can most certainly improve with lessons.

[SuperSenpaiMKZ]

OF COURSE. D: andd i dont think im that bad probably average xD. what do they teach you at Berkeley singing wise? did you get better from going there? O.o

[elainnimue]

wow *-*

[5345mh]

oh shitt ur gewdd!

[McCormackman22]

burnin through ma darkest na ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ights!

[athousandstrats]

@McCormackman22 Leavin' beeehiiiind!!!!!

[pantherpatty]

......tell the truth. Is that reall your voice? If it is, you are doing everyone a severe injustrice by not going professional. your voice is far to rich and beautiful to keep to yourself.

[athousandstrats]

@pantherpatty Yes, its my real voice

[gloamingstein]

you have a very strong voice and i hope that it takes you to that unreachable star. thank you for posting. ;) you rock

[lisejohanne]

I wish you what you deserve Success in a singing career

Beautiful Powerful Voice

[JadeStudio]

Bravo very good performance

very expresive i like it

[HFRose]

still working on that rock opera at all?

[athousandstrats]

@HFRose I finished that in my sophmore year of high school. How do you know about that though?

[basboosa911]

I think that you sound lovely. Be careful about starting out too strong and not being able to mirror the lyrics and feeling of the song because of it.

[starsouvenier]

Excellent!

[AbsinthePunk]

so beautiful :)

[cjosephwu]

actually i think you have a very nice voice. i believe the more you sing it, the better you will be.

[tanmusic10]

are you studying voice or music performance at berklee?

[athousandstrats]

@tanmusic10 You have to have an instrument (voice for me) and a major, one of which could be Music Performance. its not one or then other.

[tanmusic10]

i was just asking what major program you were in.

[athousandstrats]

@tanmusic10 Haven't declared a major yet, but I'm thinking of Contemporary writing and Production.

[itsyourztruly]

you don't seem awkward at all...just be more confident in your voice (which is gorgeous) and it will translate through the song. great job!!!

[AvrilFreak247]

Wow this is so wonderful...

[kitkat1233]

i can't believe how good this is!!!

Your are growing everyday

I can't imagine how far you will go!!!

never never never never stop believing you can do anything because you can!!!!!!!!!!

[fefiromero]

wow....definitely your best song.

[danielsplane91]

i am left breathless, speechless, teary eyed,and over all amazed.most defintly a star in the making.how ever im sad that i can only give u 5 stars becuz u deserve much much more.

[ValeforFayth]

I'm never letting you out of our promise Joe. I'll go find someone who desperately needs a wife ASAP

[kurtcobain1978]
