I plan on doing this song for a Regional Choir audition in Arizona next February.... I think it sounds beautiful.... You did extraordinary on this song! Keep it up girl!
I am learning to sing this song for my Bronze Medal later this year! I am sooooo nervous at the thought of the exam, even more nervous of what if I don't get my bronze medal!!! Wish me luck! x
i'm gonna be singing this for solo and ensemble! i have to say this as a competitive person..... we sound about the same! i might be a little bit better!!! hahaha, jk! nice job!!!
haha this was at the end of the freshman year in high school - i'm currently finishing up my first semester as a freshman voice major in college. this is OLD :)
amazing song! i absolutely love your voice! im singing this song for private lessons and i must say i sound nothing like you! lol i love the last "te" of the song...way to add some spice! brava chica!!!
its a beautiful song, one that i am taking to contest this spring, and i applaud you for your bravery to sing in front of other people because i've always had really bad stage fright. but you need to make the song come alive, you lose the audience when you let it fall flat. but im sure youve improved, as you said this was quite a while ago.
hey! it's rachel rarick from show choir camp like, forever ago. i remember watching Taylor the Latte Boy, and falling inlove w/the song. i did that recently for our schools spring concert :) lol now im singing this in my private lessons. i was told to look it up, and here i find you :) bravo girl! <33
Did someone forget something in the piano? A pair of glasses or something? I'd like to hear her in some years time after some years of singing lessons. Good material but still a lot to learn...
I really should post something new - this is from the end of my freshman year in high school, and I just finished my senior year. I'm majoring in vocal performance next fall.
Really good voice you have. You just need to get comfortable on stage. Once you've done that you'll regain your control of dynamics so that you can be quite or loud when you want to be, not relative to your current confidence level.
Keep performing in front of people and this problem will fade, guaranteed.
5 stars I really liked your performance keep singing keep learning 5 stars! If anyone else is learning this song I have a video with piano accompaniment to help you practice! Click on the blue video in the video response box. Remember sing from the heart! :)
She has quite a nice voice. just two small things.
Pronunciation, not too huge, just your 'e's and your 'So spirao gnor'
And make sure when you get to the 'So spirao gnor' section to not let your voice fall out, thats a very majestic part of the peice and needs to be sung with a strong voice.
the pianist survived. Have you ever tryed to take a deep breath? You are singing with the upper half of your boddy. Air comes from the abdomen, to give power to the note and tune.
You also have to make a lot more exercices in soundcontrol. that is, how you form the sound.
You need to work on pronunciation of the Italian, it sounds like an english woman trying to sing in italian, and it should sound like an italian woman singing a song in her native tounge. You should also work on your dynamics, dont have everythying sound the same. Show emotion the song is saying that when her love is away her heart languishes. So show that in your performance... Are you familiiar with Solo and Ensemble Districts? I would probably give you an excellent.
Watch your "ay" vowel... ex. sceilcor - not so much ay but eh.....also, I'm not sure who added the cadenza but that is not appropriate for this type of art song. ???
WOW!!!! Im doing this for m y singing lesson but girl you are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 times better tham me and my singi teacher thinks Im good all I can say is WOW WOW WOW WOW
The kind of voice you have is so much more lovely to hear than the heavier, more operatic ones, definitely. It's clear and pure, which really counts. Thank you for putting this up.
iheartmiley4ever, stop being such a bitch my gosh! the girl has a good voice end of story! the girl can sing and ur just jealous! dont bother responding 2 my comment cuz im not gonna bother responding 2 urs, just stop being such a bitch and putting people down
You should put some videos of you singing up and see what people say. My theory is if you dont have guts to post the video then dont cut others down for not perfecting something to your standards.
Never heard that God will take any voice in a second... but im sure that he will take voices that suck dick and not good voices nor excellent voices like mine well mines more than excellent but anyways there not better than me i more than sure im too good and ranked in the state so i know there not better middle or elementary yes but not high school level
Talk about Miley Cyrus one more time i dare you. You know what!!! i Doubble dog dare you. First off by the time Miley Cyrus is 18 she will already reach her first Billion and apparently shes great cause she has MILLIONS and you know who she is while she performs in arenas you type comments on youtube saying things about her soooo now whos the better songer you or Miley Cyrus... Hmmmm i say Miley Cyrus and thats a fact. Sorry dude or girl
Hmmm....I personally think that Miley Cyrus can't sing. There, I said something. You "double-dog dared." What are you going to do, though? You don't have the power to make me like her. Nor anyone else who dislikes her. Miley Cyrus can't sing. That's all I have to say.
I bet you that I can sing better than Miley Cyrus. And that's a fact.
seri-fuckin-sly im a guy this youtube account was a joke. but i do like miley cyrus's music its good listen to the word they make sence. and for you and princessndn63 apparently you 2 retards dont know what your talkin about. if you read all of my comments and read other peoples comments we all talk about the same fuckin thing. and i dont give a shit if you like miley cyrus her sucess in the music buisness already proves that shes great. so comment back when you see the whole picture. :)
you do have to remember that while she "sings" she's probably got like 50 computers filtering and modifing her sound,just like all the other pop "singers" i study classical voice and sing bass baritone,not "pop computer"
yes i understand that but we were talking about while she is singing is arenas across the world and big events people her are writing comments about not liking her and other things so yeah
Your first mistake was letting yourself get this worked up. So what? They don't like Miley Cyrus. I don't. I just don't prefer her music to many others, but that's my taste in music. That's my o-p-i-n-i-o-n. The same thing goes for PointingOutTheTruth.
There are more obvious problems with your argument, but I'll let you figure those our for yourself.
ok i can see that your retarded also... Miley Cyrus was brought to this conversation because i was comparing her to somthing i forgot what.... thats why you need to read all of the comments in youtube before you say something retarded like the other people... anyways i know your opinion is false look at the big picture and not look at the small one then comment... retard
first thing first this wasnt the best thing i have herd but its not the worst great voice this song is not hard but its probably that you were nervouse i think you were too quiet this song was made so you can show off your voice to people i guess you can say when you hear other people sing it they come in not to strong but not to soft the end was great when you hit thoes high notes there were some pitch problems but i think it was because you were nervous pratice in your italian there were alot
She never claimed to be professional, she is only a girl yet! Besides, it's her first recital--perhaps her first performance! I'm sure when she goes and gets her BA in classical singing like yourself, operawhore64, you'll find her singing more than satisfactory.
some of the greatest opera singers in history were mere "girls" at 16 and 18 years of age.. so lets not use that as an excuse... it is getting tiresome. If she is serious about singing, try working on the oo vowel as in moon. It will pull in more head voice and at least put in the right direction. Right now the registers are completely mixed up and there are not many institutions, let alone teachers, that can fix this problem today.
Well for the most part this was great! Dipthings though.. watch out. Even if this was two years ago.. they are hard to control, lol. I think you over-annunciated the "e" vowel slightly, and and the "i" vowel came off as a little harsh, especially when you sang "Mio". But other than that, it was a very good rendition of the song!
Thanks for all of the comments - and if you guys didn't see before - this was me two years ago, after only three voice lessons! So of course my Italian wasn't very good; I'd only known the language for three weeks! =P Also, my high range has improved so much since then, now I am definitely a soprano. (This was from a mezzo book).
I wonder,do you know what this song is about?During the first "Il tuo fedel cessa crudel so spiragnor",you're supposed to be a bit more worked up.You have a pretty voice but you were kind of all one flat emotion the whole time.You should work on your dynamics a little.
you did beautifully. i watched this video a long while ago and never posted a comment because i didn't read the discription saying it was you. i actually like the way you sing it better than all the other versions i've heard it sung!! congrats.
Excellent demeanor. Watch that left hand, you're grabbing your pants and swinging it around.
But, primarily its your diction. Dipthongs are your apparent enemy. Sensa di "teh" not "Tay-ee"... English might try to creep up on you, but remember the 5 vowels in Italian and that they will never change.
The potential is there and ready for you to catch up.
oh,i'm sorry..she sings verry nice..she has lovely voice,and her italian is...um...verry good...and i won't shut up..btw,i don't remember saying that she sucks..byee :)
good, song to start off with and you might have been nervous but it didn't affect your voice which is great! and how can you say it shouldn't be w/ vibrato... youve been listening to hillary duff havent you? try pavarotti
let me start by saying GREAT JOB! i love this song!!! few tips: i noticed that to stop ur nerves u tend to constantly move ur head up and down and slightly swing ur hands especially the left hand :)..... its ok because we ALL have nerves and other parts of our body tend to move on its own without our consent. LOL! i agree w/ the others, more vibrato. u have a great voice, spice it up a bit! i still can't believe this is ur 1st recital!! keep up the good work!
i'm sorry,but i'm not stupid,and if i have a degree in that area it means that i know something about it,don't you think so??it can be sang with vibrato but only by a singer who can produce it propertly,not like this,and not such type of vibrato..
oh wait. i dont agree. i think she has a lovely voice and you should probably stop telling her that she sucks because she did very well and i have found that people who insult usually are insecure about their own ability. so shut up. thank you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i don't like it.. everyone knows that caro mio ben should be sang without vibrato.. and this tinny voice.. don't think so.. and she should work really hard on her italian.. and this E..omg.. bad..really bad
also read what the translation of this song means, you need to feel it everywhere in your body! i'm not saying you did a bad job, its just not the right song for you.
i'd like to help you. :]
i'm classically trained and super excited to see new talent.
Pretty voice! Some diction issues (dental consonants, American diphthongs), and the breath doesn't move as freely as it could, but keep studying; you have a nice instrument to work with, just don't try to rush your development
Well done!! I have to sing this for my voice lessons recital coming up...its definately not an easy song..and i am doing it with little flourishes so its even MORE hard. lol anyways u did good i hope i do as good lol.
That was great! I'm singing this solo for competition... if I do half as well as you did I'll be happy. (I don't know if I can work through my nerves quite as well either.) Your voice is lovely.
i had to sing this at my first...uh...i don't think I can call it a recitial, but a sort of compeetition. My first time to, in 2006, that is. I got extremely nervous, but managed to do okay.
You have a wonderful voice, there's no reson to be nervous! And try not to forget about all the dynamic markings(I know there hard...=_='). but I think you did a great job!
Don't let nerves get to you. Nerves will destroy the voice. It's one of those weird situations where you're nervous you'll mess up but you end up messing up because you're nervous that you'll mess up haha. Just don't think about it and think about the emotion of the song and focus on technique.
u did a really good job on this song i have to sing this song in front of my music department to get a passing grade on my music class i hope i do as well as u did
you are cute!! haha. not a bad job for a beginner :)
for diction practice, I would recommend the diction book by John Moriarty. It includes Italian, German, and French so if you really want to do this, it is useful for the future!
this was a very cute performance.there are few things you should work on,like your accent,it really disturbs the whole performance.and also (i can see that you were nervous) but you have to let out your voice,like in 2:o2 when you sang senza di teeEEE :D you were really good.
not bad for a first recital, but u were just a little bit singing like a robot, like the words were kind of umm....well, kindof chopped wierdly...idk, u did good!
This is THE "war horse" song of the beginning Italian repertoire. Your Italian sounds entirely American, which you must fix. I recommend "Singer's Italian" by Evelina Colorini as an EXCELLENT Italian diction resource. You have great line, though! I love your jaw position as well: always strive for that relaxed, down-and-back position to give you the PERFECT laryngeal positioning. Keep singing; I look forward to hearing more of your work! :-)
very well done indeed the first time i did just listen and not watch the performance and in your voice there is nothing of nervousness it's just in the body language. You sang it very lightly and not too operatic, more natural. Though Cecilia Bartoli is still my number one, this is a very high ranking!
Very very good. I'm impressed that this is only after four lessons. I sang the same thing when I was in sixth grade, and it took me four lessons to get my pronunciation down probably about 3/4s as good as yours is. I really love this song!! I'm very impressed! I agree, you did seem a little nervous, but that is just natural. Good luck in the the rest of your vocal career!
Thanks! Yeah, I noticed that, and actually a little after this recital I took a performing arts camp with my voice teacher and a few other girls, and I got the arm swinging pretty much under control.
Rachel, you will probably hear many others stupid comments like piyyano's who certainly ignores that 10 years of hard studies are required to make a good lyric singer. DonGiovanni07 is right ("e" isn't "ey" by example); Take care about your shoulders; they don't seem relax and horizontal, your right one seems higher and blocked. For only 4 voice lessons and a first recital, it's good ! Sorry for my bad english, kisses from a French tenor :)
Thanks! I'll look at my shoulders, I was really nervous, more nervous than I get now. And since I've now been studying for a year, I've worked a LOT more on the Italian pronunciation. Thanks again! =]
too much vibrato....

Thanks for all of the comments - and if you guys didn't see before - this was me two years ago, after only three voice lessons! So of course my Italian wasn't very good; I'd only known the language for three weeks! =P Also, my high range has improved so much since then, now I am definitely a soprano. (This was from a mezzo book).

I wonder,do you know what this song is about?During the first "Il tuo fedel cessa crudel so spiragnor",you're supposed to be a bit more worked up.You have a pretty voice but you were kind of all one flat emotion the whole time.You should work on your dynamics a little.

you did beautifully. i watched this video a long while ago and never posted a comment because i didn't read the discription saying it was you. i actually like the way you sing it better than all the other versions i've heard it sung!! congrats.

OK...
To begin, lovely voice... its light and clean.
Excellent demeanor. Watch that left hand, you're grabbing your pants and swinging it around.
But, primarily its your diction. Dipthongs are your apparent enemy. Sensa di "teh" not "Tay-ee"... English might try to creep up on you, but remember the 5 vowels in Italian and that they will never change.
The potential is there and ready for you to catch up.

Beautiful natural & low voice.Now you need to make a choice either to make a career in opera or as a pop singer.Both there is potential.

first recital??? no way???
let me start by saying GREAT JOB! i love this song!!! few tips: i noticed that to stop ur nerves u tend to constantly move ur head up and down and slightly swing ur hands especially the left hand :)..... its ok because we ALL have nerves and other parts of our body tend to move on its own without our consent. LOL! i agree w/ the others, more vibrato. u have a great voice, spice it up a bit! i still can't believe this is ur 1st recital!! keep up the good work!
Meganazu 3 years ago 3
i'm sorry,but i'm not stupid,and if i have a degree in that area it means that i know something about it,don't you think so??it can be sang with vibrato but only by a singer who can produce it propertly,not like this,and not such type of vibrato..
m12a12j12 4 years ago
sorry but it bothers me, "it can be sang with vibrato"--should be "it can be SUNG with vibrato"
and i agree.
ixsayxomgx2much 3 years ago
oh wait. i dont agree. i think she has a lovely voice and you should probably stop telling her that she sucks because she did very well and i have found that people who insult usually are insecure about their own ability. so shut up. thank you.
ixsayxomgx2much 3 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
i don't like it.. everyone knows that caro mio ben should be sang without vibrato.. and this tinny voice.. don't think so.. and she should work really hard on her italian.. and this E..omg.. bad..really bad
m12a12j12 4 years ago
caro mio ben is actually a ariaetta which is an opera piece, and it is sung with vibrato
tessietoo22 4 years ago 3
I think for the era this was written in, the vibrato should not be forced. Vibrato happens naturally anyway.

uhh.
you might want to try some broadway type songs. perhaps "on my own" from les miserables or rent or something.
your legato needs a lot of work. and your pronunciation also needs some work too.
why not go back to this song and use more of a vibrato

Pretty voice! Some diction issues (dental consonants, American diphthongs), and the breath doesn't move as freely as it could, but keep studying; you have a nice instrument to work with, just don't try to rush your development

i had to sing this at my first...uh...i don't think I can call it a recitial, but a sort of compeetition. My first time to, in 2006, that is. I got extremely nervous, but managed to do okay.
You have a wonderful voice, there's no reson to be nervous! And try not to forget about all the dynamic markings(I know there hard...=_='). but I think you did a great job!
dreamersalwayslive 4 years ago
Don't let nerves get to you. Nerves will destroy the voice. It's one of those weird situations where you're nervous you'll mess up but you end up messing up because you're nervous that you'll mess up haha. Just don't think about it and think about the emotion of the song and focus on technique.

this was a very cute performance.there are few things you should work on,like your accent,it really disturbs the whole performance.and also (i can see that you were nervous) but you have to let out your voice,like in 2:o2 when you sang senza di teeEEE :D you were really good.

richardfactory 4 years ago
This is THE "war horse" song of the beginning Italian repertoire. Your Italian sounds entirely American, which you must fix. I recommend "Singer's Italian" by Evelina Colorini as an EXCELLENT Italian diction resource. You have great line, though! I love your jaw position as well: always strive for that relaxed, down-and-back position to give you the PERFECT laryngeal positioning. Keep singing; I look forward to hearing more of your work! :-)

Work that voice hon, you have a treasure. You have some big kinks to iron out with your diction, but nothing some hard work cannot fix.

xRAWR16 4 years ago
very well done indeed the first time i did just listen and not watch the performance and in your voice there is nothing of nervousness it's just in the body language. You sang it very lightly and not too operatic, more natural. Though Cecilia Bartoli is still my number one, this is a very high ranking!
rikboe69 4 years ago
sang it too... but differently. :)
hilaglam 4 years ago
Very very good. I'm impressed that this is only after four lessons. I sang the same thing when I was in sixth grade, and it took me four lessons to get my pronunciation down probably about 3/4s as good as yours is. I really love this song!! I'm very impressed! I agree, you did seem a little nervous, but that is just natural. Good luck in the the rest of your vocal career!

RachelMarie09 4 years ago
Rachel, you will probably hear many others stupid comments like piyyano's who certainly ignores that 10 years of hard studies are required to make a good lyric singer. DonGiovanni07 is right ("e" isn't "ey" by example); Take care about your shoulders; they don't seem relax and horizontal, your right one seems higher and blocked. For only 4 voice lessons and a first recital, it's good ! Sorry for my bad english, kisses from a French tenor :)
