[LiMaBue]

wow, Your voice is so nice . I could listen to it the whole day. And your German is very good, too ;)

[verzweiflung]

You´re so pretty. And your voice, so charming. I'd give a leg to have you singing on front of me. Life is sometimes sad...

[Biffy2008]

A wonderful singer, AND attractive, double trouble! keep up the great singing, Loved it!

[z916]

That was brilliant, I now regret that i didn't apply to your school. I loved how you played the flute for a bit and I thought "damn, he plays flute too?!"

But I am definitely keeping my eyes on you, I believe you will go far :)

[ianmceuen]

@z916 Thank you so much!!  I can't tell you how much it means =) Where are you at school now?

[z916]

I'm a senior in high school and I applied to about 11 opera schools like curtis, jacob, USC, etc

Btw, There's a college competition with the classical magazine you can google it if your interested.

[edieharris]

I am curious as to what scholastic level this was performed during (high school, university, etc.). Your pronunciation and musicality were incredible, given the quality of the recording and the questionable performance locale. Excellent work--you'll go far.

[ianmceuen]

Hi Edie,

First of all, thank you for watching and taking time to comment =) And thank you so much for the kind words!!

This production was put on by a summer festival called Saltnote Stageworks. The performance was supposed to be outdoor, but we got rained out on this particular date, and had to move to a nearby community center at the last minute.

too fast...

[banway]

That is an amazing performance, fantastic singing,very clear ,strong voice, great ensemble with orchestra, articulation and emotional content ! I was actually searching for this certain aria on youtube, and I must say yours I like the best tonight! :)

[ianmceuen]

Thank you so much, banway! This was my first operatic role, so it means so much that it made an impression on you. Happy New year to you!

[cuckthefardinals]

Wow, very nice singing! And acting as well. How old were you here, and what level was this production?? (High school, college)??

[ianmceuen]

Thank you so much, cuckthefardinals! I was 20 years old here, and the production was a summer festival which was open to performers from the high school to professional level. Sorry for the lateness of my reply. Happy New Year to you!

[foxx2222]

Great singing and acting.

Ian--did you get trio no19?

John(sarastro)

[wenarto]

50000 stars - great great great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know this opera well and you did such a fantastic job!!!!!!! I will send you my Magic Flute, the King of the night aria :-)

[Japeter2000]

Very expressive, both voice and acting. I also liked the Bee Girl in the background--very 80s MTV--and, of course, the tornado siren going off on cue, as Tamino asks a question toward the end of the aria, added considerably to the emotional urgency.

[figliadibolena]

Ian. I'm an idiot.

I was like "why the hell is he holding a fucking FLUTE?"

...The Magic Flute.

[ianmceuen]

Hahahahaha! Not gonna lie...this aria was always awkward because of that damn flute. Oh well, haha...

[figliadibolena]

You realize this is Steven, yes??

[ianmceuen]

No i didn't realize! My baaaad. How was I supposed to know =P
