i assume the uploader knows her, so for emma, if she sees this: mouth is horizontally too broad on the high notes, it's choking off the spin on those rounder notes. :) just a bit more vertical spread and watching your corners is going to make miracles for you. best of luck in the future!
Tempo is very subjective, but I like this aria to move along. It's also easier to handle the phrases (breath control) when faster. That said, the conductor is a little heavy handed with her. It may have been all he could do to hold the orchestra together.
I was 17 when I wrote that comment, and as a 17 year old high school performer, I made a comment knowing she was 16, and knowing what the standard for a lead in a high school production was. It wasn't a insult, just a comment, in case you missed it, I also said she has an amazing voice, I wouldn't say unless she actually had an amazing voice. And she does have awkward stage presence, which is much easier to improve upon than a voice.
She is the daughter of two famous opera singers: Greer Grimsley and Luretta Bybee. I'm sure some is natural, and I'm also sure she's had appropriate training.
im doing that play now in holland (school american school of the hague!) my friend amanda can sing it better she has a sweeter voice... but still really good!
Do you know that both her parents are worldly known opera singers? Your saying your friend is better is saying a LOT to me.I'm sure your friend is great, but this is in her blood for Emma. I've performed with her back at Seattle Opera. Miss her, but still my friend.
My community theater is doing this show......... I really want to be Mabel! I can sing her song and everything! I'm just to young. My director says that I have to wait aleast five more years to play her. Because i'm just too young!
This level of singing at such a young age is staggering. She's like a baby Adelina Patti who made her opera debut in 1859 as Lucia at age 16. Like Patti, Emma seems to have a natural preparation that no teacher needs to mess with. She is worthy to be called a professional right now. Parents have to be incredibly proud. For now, I hope she continues to sing in venues like this. Brava Emma, my best wishes for your future. Ernesto Vasselli
i went to see this 2 out of the 3 shows and emma was ridiculously amazing both times! incredible talent! in three years i can only dream to be as good as her. [ : AMAZING EMMA! WONDERFUL! (and of course rob was great even silent lol)
I'm sure you were playing in that orchestra and that's why you're pissed! It's not my fault you sucked! And ummm, I'm a singer, I have far greater talent than someone who plays a tuba!!!!
And you call yourself a musician. Try singing without music.....and, by the way, it would not have been a musical without the sweet and wonderful sounds of the orchestra. All of the performers were wonderful-singers, performers and musicians. Way to go!
Well it doesnt take much talent to be a singer, how it sounds like some old drunk dumbass. that pretty much is singing, talking and moving ur voice around like some prepubesic teenager. and without any real music like what the orchestra is doing it sounds pretty shitty with just the singing cuz it is boring as hell watching some person instead of talents like open heart surgery or through fire and flames on expert not screaming on the tops of ur lungs!!!!!!
Wonderful! I hope I can afford Met Opera tickets when she's singing there!

Talk about blowing your own horn...
Oh, I forgot..you're a singer...you can't play the tuba :(
BTW...I encourage you to try. It actually involves alot of the same dynamics as proper singing. Go ask your music teacher.
