Goodbye from Catch Me If You Can The Musical by Ben Fenner

[ErnieFairchild1]

You have a nice voice, but you need to dig into the emotion of performing and look at acting as not so much..pantomiming as...more-so just being natural? Go after body movement and motion that you would naturally do while speaking. (I mean..don't put your arm over your eyes when you sing "tell the spotlight-man 'turn off my light' " That's way too staged and wooden. )

This is incredible! The only thing I'd be concerned about is the melody because your phrasing is a bit choppy. I would hire you in a SECOND though.

@1musicalnote thnku for ur comment, means alot and yeh i agree this was back when i used to learn off a recording off youtube an make up timings and stuff u knw but thnku x

[1musicalnote]

@benjarules no problem! i really love this. :)

[ScaractorX]

The music is slightly drowning out your amazing voice in the begining. But other than that you're amazing.

[lukebayer2]

Wow top note- amazing! 

[Jester5222]

Well if I was a broadway producer I would heavily consider signing you, as long as you could act and dance. But you were far better than Aaron Trevit's understudy in Catch Me If You Can. I saw the show on Broadway and you do very well with that song, you should definitly consider broadway, you have a gift that most people do not have.

BLOODY AMAZING. O.O I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW GOOD YOU ARE.

[circuitmedic]

Ok, I take my my "slightly shouted" comment...that last note is amazing!!!

[benjarules]

@circuitmedic wat? lol x

[circuitmedic]

@benjarules Lol, somehow I listened to it and thought the note was just slightly pinched but i listened 22 more times and now I don't know why i ever thought that it was pinched....its completely open.

[benjarules]

@circuitmedic 22 times? wow lol thankyou very much x

[Smartpplz161]

Wow! Amaaazziinng job at holding that note at the end! Total perfection! :)

[brianf389]

Solid solid voice man. Maybe push the tempo a bit and get more in zone with the acting...but you sound awesome

[executor1014]

You have a great voice, man! Keep up the good work! :D

[SimsVids15]

Dammn! That last note was beastly! Great job mate! :D

[maddiemoo42]

This is incredible.

[1musicalnote]

Oh dear.

This is fantastic. So fantastic. Break a leg with your studies because you WILL make it.

[guitarandsingingdude]

is there anyway at all that you would be so kind as to send me the backing track for this please?? :)

[EliseWhatever]

i swear on my mother - that last note was better than Tveit's. Great job. When not taking into account the lyrics xD

Great job! Where are you studying now?

[benjarules]

@EliseWhatever lol yes im sorry for the lyrics had mind blank on the second verse adn had to improv lol im currently studying at the drama arts ed in london :) glad u enjoyed it ! x

[EliseWhatever]

@benjarules haha, lord knows we've all had that, but you covered it up well enough. Wow, fancy. Hope to see you on west end next time i go ;) xx

[benjarules]

@EliseWhatever oh i do hope and pray tht is true lol x

[megafoxyawesomehot33]

@EliseWhatever Well I don't know about being better then AARON! But stilll pretty damn goood.

[circuitmedic]

@EliseWhatever Yes, that last note comes VERY close to Aaron's. Only difference is the cut of, Ben ( guess thats his name) falls off the note and Aaron carries the note to the end and cuts off. I can be in the other room and come running to my computer just to hear that last note!

[EliseWhatever]

@circuitmedic I swear, when i saw the show, Aaron was so flat on that last note. On the cast album sure, he's perfect, but this is live, and thats why i think this is pretty darn amazing :) (not that aaron isnt amazing, love him!!)

[circuitmedic]

@EliseWhatever WHAT?????????????? You CANT mess that note up!!!! That would be like the lift in Wicked failing to rise....I presume...I have never seen CMIYC....well, though disappointing, id rather hear a flat live note than lip sync...thats why we love theatre. If u see enough of it, you will eventually hear a bad note, they are human. Which now makes me wonder, Celine Dion in vegas has a pitch perfect show...hm...suspicious I say

[EliseWhatever]

@circuitmedic Haha, well, eden espinosa is flat like half the time and yet she's one of my favorite elphie's because she's so awesome when she's on-key (is that a word..?). And he recovered pretty well once the vibrato kicked in, so it was not thát bad. And mt performers are most amazing live, thats why i love it so much! And Celine Dion is pretty much amazing, so i'd believe that.

[circuitmedic]

@EliseWhatever "MT PERFORMERS" ???? Excuse my igonorance...

[EliseWhatever]

@circuitmedic haha musical theatre ;) nobody says it but me, so excuse my personal vocab.

[canadastar05]

Wow. That last note was incredible. Well done!

[MrSufa]

It's obvious that you can sing, and nailed the Bb at the end. just was a bit disappointed with the lyrics all over the place because although it does show off your voice the song is a story and got lost when it didnt make sense at all. Great effort though!

[benjarules]

@MrSufa yeh i knw i was annoyed at myself tooo! stupid verse's lol but i knw them now if thats any better :P thankyu for the comment!

[MrSufa]

hah yeah completely understandable, you should record it again like your other vids, would be great :). would there be any chance of being sent your instrumental?, would help heaps! @benjarules

[benjarules]

@MrSufa yeh i wouldlike to just have moved away from home now to study musical theatre soo dont have the facility's to record it lol but if u message me with ur email i shall see what i can do :)

[robmyster5392]

LOVE THE LAST NOTE! Great job!

[CatchMeContest26]

Wow great job. Where did you get the sheet music for this song?

[benjarules]

@CatchMeContest26 my dad worked out the piano part by listening to youtube clip then made me this backing track :) x
