Hey, well done you! Difficult aria. You're definitely a lyric tenor. The top will come with practice and discipline. Find yourself a really good technical singing teacher. I'd suggest finding someone who teaches at a high standard (music college, university music faculty etc.) you're good and have a lot of potential, honestly!
Tienes bonita voz sin embargo necesitas estudiar. Acuerdate lo que decia Pavarotti: un cantante de opera deberia de tener dos vidas, una para aprender a cantar y otra para ahora si cantar. Otra cosa: cambia de pianista.
I think it is wrong to mistake yourself for a lower range just because you do not automatically have high notes. To me, you have the tenor sound, maybe not high notes yet, but the TONE. High notes come with work. {in my opinion, I'm not a specialist teacher or anything).
yeap i've been noticing that.. now i see it like a muscle i have to train, and someday, maybe sooomeday i will hit high notes haha =). Thanks 4 your comment.
Its all in the shape of your throat.. When you sing opera always open your mmouth as wide as you can. When you think it starts getting hard, change an AAAA as in Retaaaard (just using the word) to an OOO as in boaat, and higher than that use OU as in Youu ...
One last thought: You like Pavarotti? I do, but HE doesn't, he will NOT listen to ANY of his recordings. We all think we sound bad.. but You have an Amazing gift! Try using some of these techniques. Let me know what u think. Al alba Vincero!!!
thank you very much for your comments! i'll try that tomorrow first time in the morning (its 1 am here now). Everything you said sounds true! Actually i stoped singing this aria because i tought i wasn't good at it... i even started thinking that maybe i'm a baritone because i don't have high notes. But i'll try and will tell you the results. Sorry for the bad english
May seem silly but it works! Your lasers of sound, focussed in your mouth and emitting a beautiful POWERFUL, rifled, focussed beam of MUSIC that u didnt know u had. Also, try to keep your cheeks up high on your face, like when u smile. This helps lift the soft pallet on the roof of your mouth to allow the sound a few more rotations of focussing before being blasted out triumphantly!
sorry for being a scifi nerd, but are U familiar with Star Wars? When the Death star attacked, it fired several smaller laser beams that were focussed into one lethal anihilation machine. Our diaphragm, lung capacity, vocal folds, the shape of our mouth, all work together to get our magnificent sounds out the front of our mouths, to seek out and penetrate the back of whatever room your voice is filling.
U'll be AMAZED how more much easier everything flows now. A more easy...emotional legato feel to it. I could hear shades of Pavarotti and Alagna` in your performance. In my opinion the 2 best at this aria. I am also a big guy and this helped me. We want our sound to project to the back of the hall right? We need to focus it on every pitch.. not only the right note... but with the richenss and fullness.... Not a blaring tugboat horn, but a regal royal trumpet...Singing out majestically...
BRAVO!! You are a GREAT talent!! WELL DONE. Some think since there are no blockbuster high notes that "Una" is an easier song. WRONG! U did great with a Difficult aria. If I may, try to use that beautiful, natural vibrato on Every pitch. Practice with only the vowel sounds on each pitch. "Uuahh ohhEEahhh ahhhEEahhhh" do that through the entire peice enough so that it becomes natural. Then slowly work the consonants back.
Really, you're a wonderful singer for someone described as "amateur". (You may not like this, but your accompanist isn't exactly rock-solid... they may want to either work on it, or you may get someone else for a more polished performance... it'll really vault your abilities.)
stupid pianist!
