Shit Opera Singers Say

[sweetpepper36]

[Randidan]

Guess you have to be one...

[caltrask51]

"ugh... I'd like 13 teas..."

[SuzieMerch789]

Too close to home, too much like like real life.

But hilarious!

[JaimieAppleton]

Ok, didn't know how to contact you in any other way: I think I just saw one of you at an interview with Joyce DiDonato? You were the second one to ask a question? Not gonna lie, I wasn't sure who I was more excited to see: you or JDD (ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I definitely was freaking out)

[LuxaDiamond]

I've seen this like 10 times cus it's so good. lol. i say 95% of these things! LOVE IT!

[THEchananbrown]

TRUTHS. Although, they left out room temperature water.

[nw4smthgcmpltlydiff]

ohmygod, so TRUE! except in Germany, they would never dance around how you sang, they'd just tell you ahaha [insert Fach jokes here]

[GridJumping]

Oh my gosh, I was married to a diva while she was a student at NEC and this brought serious flashbacks. You should add, "Do you know where I can get throat coat tea?" That was that tea with licorice in it that they loved....lol.

[breakaliciouskid786]

THIS BITCH HAS A WOBBLEEEE xDDD

[mastahodang]

This must be true because everyone sings scales in my dorm showers.

[ktrum492]

One person gets sick, every opera singer in the room goes ninja. Story of my life right there. XD

[ImTeamEdwardCullen]

I loved the in boca lupo part. 

[jomoses07]

STORY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JYcoinspire]

The hand. always. helps. and. serves. and. supports.

and then I forget I'm on stage :P

[JYcoinspire]

HAHAHAH THESE ARE SO TRUE.

ESPECIALLY: "I've a recital in three months".

and the random lip trilling :D

And the random German-accent input whenever someone asks for the repertoire I'm working on HAHAHAHA. Great video!!! (:

[cdoggiefizzle]

SO true. The one that hit the hardest is throwing music on the ground in frustration.

[JaimieAppleton]

"Aw yea, adding the hand really made that better"... IT ALWAYS DOES.

[HeidelbergSoprano]

Hawaii Opera Theatre: I sang there 3 years ago when I was 15 (I'm a military brat ;) Now I'm singing at Springfield Regional Opera (Missouri) HAHA Life is funny!

[livdaprano]

"I'm actually starting with this little known Strauss piece called Die Herzen blouist mich bluen mich lotus bloom"

[imPathogenic]

[CrystalFlames]

DYYYYIIIING, this is all so true!! I cough once and suddenly I'm shunned. Ninja please, you weren't gonna hit that high C today anyway.

[colourfulwithaU]

[GreeneVOCALZ92]

[ralphjosephpugh]

@livviec5 I'm studying to sing opera as well. Lets be real, we do and say dumb things all the time.

[jtg10795]

I'm a heldenbaritonetenor with a little bass-baritone, so I can just do it all...

[livviec5]

@jtg10795 HAHAHHA

[robertantonnyc]

Oberlin? lol. I went to Baldwin-Wallace

[livviec5]

@robertantonnyc Damn fine school!

[ayyolauren]

HAHA YES

[tinkerbell199193]

haha, this is so true, every single day i hear this

[lauravnolen]

YOU GUYS ARE HILARIOUS!!!!! LOVE IT!!!

[klmnumbers]

Using your hands always makes singing better. Let's be real.

[MegaPrincessbear]

Has the makings of a good copycat of the "Shit ---- Say," but you could use some work.

1. Retitle it: "Shit Vocal Majors Say"

2. Use only one person to speak/sing and have that be overly cariacatured. Probably the first girl.

3. Cut it to a minute, maybe 1:30. Condensing all the warm-up sounds to a few seconds will help with this.

I dig the scarves and tea stuff, btw. Good stuff.

[judefox2010]

this is fucking excellent

[livviec5]

@judefox2010 why THANK you

[lioneyes00]

Not as funny, sorry

[tlcacchise]
