Alli Simpson's master class with Jason Robert Brown

[ActThePart16]

If I were doing this, I think I would've peed my pants. If Jason Robert Brown sitting in front of me telling me stuff, and helping me...... Yeah. Definitely peeing my pants.

Oh wow. I'm so jealous of your experience! Of course if I had to sing for JRB I'm pretty sure that I'd basically die on stage of horror. Your voice is BEAUTIFUL. Thanks so much for posting!

[LeoLaredoMusic]

This is great...your singing is great, JRB is great, all just G-R-E-A-T!!! I love this song, and it sits really nicely in your range.

[highspeed017]

This is wonderful. I am singing this at a voice recital, and it was such a treat to hear you improve through JRB's comments, and pick up some tips myself.

[montgomery1908]

Thank you for sharing this! Lovely voice. A real treat to hear JRB's comments.

[maryjivinjane]

AHHH. Thank you so much for posting this! It's wonderful to see such an awesome composer do a master class. And if you were intimidated by JRB, you didn't let it show... you sound great!

[musicalmorena]

You have a beautiful voice and I love the song! Can't imagine what it was like to work with him. But his suggestions made all the difference in the world. Keep it up!

[cjryal]

You really do have a beautiful voice. It is amazing how much more interesting the song was the second time. I loved your little typed in comments too. Those were fun. Where is this song from?

[cjryal]

Never mind... I just rewatched the beginning of the video and now I know the name of the song and show.

[wykatika]

Thanks for posting. That was a lot of fun to watch and I learned somethings too.

[MrHuggy05]

you should be singing THIS type of musical theatre, ballads for soprano or mezzo is your stuff, not so much the belty stuff, it's just.... not what you should be doing, and it affects your beautiful head, main range in a bad way, stick to that and work your pieces for at least a year before performing them, you were a little iffy in spots in this.

[EclecticPkm]

You have an absolute gorgeous voice, keep up the singing

[raisinbranboi]

[notgoinnowhere]

[Radamesiskewl]

Well, I was at the Concert in Bham with JRB and he was amazing. I was supposed to take this master class, but I had competition.

[PurpleCow17]

Lucky lucky lucky lucky! :-D That would have been incredible. I'm a huge fan of JRB, and can't even imagine how nervous I would have been. Awesome job.

[pianolust]

Great job! I would have pissed myself if I got to sing for JRB ;-)
