very good tuning. excellent placement of the voice. not enough phrasing or line (every note seems equally loud - to me each phrase should start and end a little softer - give each phrase a beginning, middle, and end) . that might be the recording's fault - you might be doing it, but we can't tell -it all sounds loud.. the pianist is not flexing the phrase enough either. too chunk chunk chunk, and a bit unfeeling. maybe try the 2nd verse starting piano? i would always end each verse piano too.
Wunderbar! Das ist sehr gut! nur ein kleine Fehler. Jetzt singe ich diese Lied auch. Es ist ziemlich schwerig, dass Deutsch unsere Mutter Sprachen ist.
I hear so many poor versions of songs I cover in voice lessons... this is stunning. It's beautiful. I'm impressed, and that's hard to do. Do you know your fach?
It's the "type" of singer you are... for example, coloratura soprano, mezzosoprano, spinto soprano, Wagnerian soprano, ect. Though of course you're not a Wagnerian-- there's only one in a lifetime, generally...
Well, my voice teacher says I'm a coloratura soprano. I don't really know what what characteristics put me in that category...but hey, I like my teacher, and she's pretty smart :].
Thank you for the explanation of 'fach' btw. I appreciate it. Taught me something!
echt schöne stimme! wo genau hast du dich beworben und wofür? ich frag nur so interessehalber, weil ich nächstes jahr anfangen will gesang zu studieren und noch nicht genau weiß wo...
Danke! :) Ich bin Amerikanerin und habe mich für eine Universität in Texas beworben, und dann noch an der Musikschule von der Universität. Der ganze Ablauf ist schon ein wenig kompliziert...aber wenn du in Deutschland studieren willst, die Musikhochschule in Stuttgart ist eigentlich ganz gut. Wenn, du willst, schreib mir einfach mal über youtube und ich versuche gerne deine Fragen zu beantworten wenn du welche hast!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch. Ja, sehr schöne Stimme..Warum sprichst du perfekt deutsch ???? Welche Hochschule in Texas ist denn das??? Nur so aus reiner Neugier...Kenne mich -logischerweise- gar nicht mit US amerikanischen Unis aus...
Tut mir sehr leid das ich so spaet bin mit meinen Kommentaren!
Ich gehe auf eine Universitaet in Texas. Heisst Texas Tech. Ist eigentlich eine ganz gute Schule, aber idioten gibt es ueberall auf der Welt :P...auch in Texas.
oh my effing gosh!! it's the number one singer in the world!! *fangirl screams* twas wonderful, mel-mel! can i have your autograph?? oh please oh please!! dude... if they don't accept you, tell me. i'll have me some good ol' nut-huntin' to do. ^__^ *glomps* it sounds beautiful, honestly. (and i think you're effing seski as all heckers too!)
love ya and i always will! thanx for making me smile!
This is really good. You should post it on the Musical Overture site so more conductors and recruiters see it.

Roosevelt University! Well, that's where I wanted to go, but that would have been out of state for me and just way too expensive.

Good luck though =]

My fach? I'm not familiar with that word...the only way I know it used, it would mean 'subject'. I don't think that's what you mean though.
Thank you for the compliments! I really appreciate it.
And I'm sorry I'm so behind with my youtube comments!
