Gia il Sole Dal Gange

[FordTTorney]

I'm singing this for my voice class and I've used this to help learn the piece. Brilliant job :)

[Electrificational]

So excited to do this song for Solo Competition!

[Scourge6666]

@titovgro what grade r u in cause im doing it too same song and everthing

[chittermouse3]

Gorgeous voice and you look so confident!

[MariCristiEz]

That was pretty good! Great job with the confidence level. Singing in front of a class is nerve wracking, but it seems you handled it pretty well!

[aryankhah]

not bad for young student but takes much hard work to sing it like pavarotti or gigli if you loved to

[titovgro]

I'm about to sing this for Solo and Ensemble, any tips on performing it? It sounds like a fun piece :D

[16431421]

dude. yesterday i was looking up ocarina and got your page and today i looked up gai il sole dal gange

[TheTonyle00]

0:52 is where the pianist made an error, but the singing was so good that it hid it lol

[TheTonyle00]

after watching your vid "I'm a pirate" its kinda hard to take you seriously anymore hahhaha and you look a seem like real cool dude

[dezwartepaard]

david.

what are you? and why are you so talented?

[HopsOnGoomba]

at first i thought this would suck then my mind was blown really good job

[SeiraVonKarma]

you need an accent on the a of già

[darkmatter83]

hey, great job! i love this =] i used it to practice to, and now I sung it at district and got a one, then sang it at state and got a 2. i can't compare to this, but it would be cool if you watched it and told me what you thought of it. =] it's called *Gia Il Sole Dal Gange Solo at State Music Festival 2011* you don't have to watch it but great job dude

[Thedrummerboy316]

This is the song i need to learn by the end of the month.

[nerdie0girl]

... :o and he sings too! Omg, heart stealer? Lol

[caieros]

You look like young Jerry lewis in this video :)

[XSandXGeninX]

That being said...

VERY well done. I actually have a week to learn the notes and words before my Juries, and this recording is going to be very helpful.

[downeymusic]

Get a better pianist. Good singing!

[thejoester92]

you sound very good :) i sang this song for solo ensamble, very pretty song :D

[odiseoreyes]

terrible..... you are a ver bad singer.



[x511100x]

Do you have a secret reservoir for courage? If so, can I have some???

[Diz5452]

That's really good :)

[ijasmineraine]

D< you arent on american idol why??

[XSandXGeninX]

@ijasmineraine

Because American Idol would never let him on to begin with. Anyone with proper choral training is never taken seriously and usually doesn't make it because America has lost sight of what music is.

[sweetbeet10]

did you change the notes? im studying this too and my piece is not like that

[FlySmileFan]

@sweetbeet10 yes he changed a few notes but modulating it but not more ;) but don't you think it sounds great too ? :)

[sweetbeet10]

@FlySmileFan i didnt say it was bad haha its actually wonderful. it just was like uhh whats that haha i dont sing that lol. but no good job

[shineyourlight55]

WOW. You've got talent--keep it up!

[RomerNakata]

I think it's a bit strange that you are such a wonderful singer and you have only a few videos where you sing.

[pokemonffta2]

sounds like a youthful, energized josh groban

[dramdanielle]

I am learning this song and I love watching and listening to this video. You have a beautiful voice.

[FrogCWR]

awesome job... I sang this for solo competition 15 years ago. WAY before digital media and YouTube. Geez, I'm old. Ok, keep it up!

[brishton69]

=] I'm impressed.

[Litameena4chan]

You obviously know how awesome you are but I thought I'd tell you anyway:

You ROCK!!!!!!! I bet you place in the top five at competitions all the time! =]

[wubawubas]

nice voice! watch those e's

[fallenangel272]

i think ur trying 2 hard. Its supposed 2 be fun, not necessarily bel canto, but still 5 stars!

[MasterBroki]

you have a pretty nice voice. nice

[TheAzureKnighthood]

Very nice, Dave!

First singing vid I've seen. You have one hell of a singing voice. *rates 5*

[ocarinakid122]

you have a very good voice bravo bravo

[zxcvbnm990]

I have to tell you, I've listen to this over and over, because this is my audition piece for all-state.

thanks :)

[Zeddy15]

@zxcvbnm990 That was my song too! Did you get in??

[knyght4christ]

Lol! David! this song was in my "Recommended for you!" XD

[MrFliptheswitch]

Wow Dave, I knew you had a pretty good voice from a couple other videos, but this kinda blew me away! Good job!

[singingjenn07]

Also in those higher notes you need to support more so you dont have such a strained sound. You sound like your having a hard time getting those notes out. You can open your mouth more, you can breathe lower (pretend your stomach is in your knees) and get out of your chest voice and use your head vioce. It will make a load of difference. When you use your head voice or falsetto act like the note is shooting out of the top of your help.

You are very talented and have a lot of potential.

[singingjenn07]

Another thing, dont fidget at the beginning as soon as you are up there by the piano, its show time.

There are alot of places here in which there could be differences in the dynamics and you didn't really do any of them.

[singingjenn07]

I am singing this song currently for my voice lessons/master class so I thought I would add some critiques which will hopefully help you out!

You have a good sound. As many others noticed you do alot with your hands, the thing your going to want to think about is not to do too much. hand movements are only good if there is a reason and a meaning as to why you are doing that, you dont want to be moving them around for no reason.

[hockeydudeag]

nice job, a 2, maybe even a 1. you do it well as a tenor, and my teacher liked how i did it as a bass. good work

[stevtomato]

Whoa, you sing too! xD lmao... that's cool.

[agaffa2010]

what a beautiful voice!

[noogen3]

I think if you mind your breath support you will be find

[witcherdude]

be sure you are careful and control your voice on the runing uo 8th notes "gia 'il sole dal gange", "co ratto do raggio" it got a bit nasal and slurred but other than that nice work. btw, i am the assistant choir director for Kermit Junior High School and a few of the High School students sang this for Texas State Solo & Ensemble Competition and i love this song

[palymusic]

che bel timbro complimenti!

[nuby1989]

hey, you had that song on your docjazz4 channel.. now it's here.. that explains why i couldn't find it after a while xD

[MechBlader]

Anyone notice that there's something that looks like a giant toothbrush in the background?

[grannystud]

Yea wth! rofl

[idance2heal]

i think it may be an overhead

[kobanirvanapepper]

la pianista le mete cualkiera por ahi XD

[WakeofEden]

Haha I like the hand gestures. ^.^ .. It's neat hearing you sing, because in all your other videos you seem very laid back and quiet (kinda), then you sing and WHAM! You're singing is incredible!

[anarkigr]

The hand gestures kinda come naturally, I noticed that I'm doing the same thing when singing this song :P

Nice work btw.

[packmaniac9966]

mmm do you really know italian???

singing good mate!!!

[sweetnsexigurl]

i like how you sang this song! its very joyful...i sang this song for a state competition! i love it! you are really good!

[Lypur]

wow.. your voice completely changed. you sound like a true Italian guy. Now all you need is a gold chain with a open dress shirt + hairy chest

[joseph1902]

nice man!

[MileyCyrus700]

i sang this in itlalin too it's easy to learn

[xmxixgxuxexlxoxnx]

your voice is so beautiful

[destroyer793]

wow, you have a really beautiful voice. :)

[ChloroPhil]

dang son!

[coolboysess]

dude what grade did you get on this?

[chretiend123]

your hands are distracting. good though. this is a great song.

[itmovesitchats]

Any chance you can re-record this on the new equipment? ^_____^

[odhran666]

Wow you're really talented XD

[Kasuke91]

its either me or the piano over-prioritizes u :x

[jorelmusic]

I love you hahahaha! You sing amazing bro congratulations.

Jorel

[PhoenixUnchained]

Wow.. Bravo! Keep up the good work!

[armisis]

Dude you rock! I so miss singing! I sang from 1st grade to my senior year in school, but because they gave me a recorder instead of a Ocarina, I never really learnt to play anything (two years of piano dont count) Thanks for your work with the Ocarina, you've brought making music back into my life.

Thanks!

[NicolaPomilla]

This aria comes from the opera "L'honesta negli amor" by Alessandro Scarlatti

[NicolaPomilla]

your italian is very good :D

[1megasnorlax1]

you are the best when it comes to sound

[sanders98569]

beautiful.

[milkit878]

Holy Jesus that is some amazing singing!

[ixsingxtenor]

Thanks for not butchering it, as I have seen many times with the 24 Arias on youtube :)

Great job man!

[twalker742]

I enjoyed this rendition very much. You have the perfect timbre for this kind of music, and you obviously have fun with it which is very important. I also very much appreciated your ornaments! So many singers forget to use them. I have also recorded a "Gia il sole dal Gange" on Youtube. I would appreciate your comments.

[Shmengo101]

you sound so different went you record for ocaeina videos, but now it sounds so beutiful!

[Likeafoxow]

wow! that was great! i knew you were musically talented in ocarina, but i didnt know you could also sing so well. bravo!

[deckman92]

i know you've mentioned that you could sing before, but i had no idea you could do it like this. impressive.

[NightOcarina19]

T_T, that was beautiful!!!!

[Inuyashafan1020]

LOL.. u are so funny.. this is really pretty... see u monday.

[Shmengo101]

[docjazz33]

[hazelnut1593]

you have a beautiful voice! lol, i think i'm in love with you! :D

[twalker742]

Great job! You have the perfect timbre for the baroque repertoire, and I see that your not afraid to try some ornaments as well! You have a maturity of sound and a control that is enviable in someone so young!

[GAMEfreakPERSON]

I never thought so many talents could be put all into one man, you can play all the ocs, you can play guitar, piano, you can sing, then i think 2 other instruments. YOU ROCK! =O

[Shukalife]

holy.... dude, you can really sing..... bravo, bravo i say....

[Shmengo101]

[deth349]

[KeysOnTheCeiling]

I would never expect any form of musicality from you to be under standard or anything, but this was EXCEPTIONAL!

I had no preparation for such a powerful and beautiful voice! I am amazed!

[Sitotito18]

wow thats really good.. but i think you should sing sumthing in spanish.

[ddrattack]

I'm singing this for my voice test at school! Great job!!, you're at least 100 times better than I am.

PS. I love this song!! please sing pagliacci next!

[Finalfantasypianos14]

This is very good David! You need to make another video with more classical singing music, and put it on your regular (Docjazz4) account. People have been dying to hear you sing, since Amazing Grace!

[jerryf717]

amazing

[dragonballz768]

Not bad at all David sounds excellent to me :)What grade are you in this video ? Just curious.

[Docjazz5]

I'm a sophomore in college :)

[dragonballz768]

Really sophomore year. You did fantasic on this song. I bet it took a good while to master the singing in this.

[solidsarris135]

doc u sing it perfectly r u Italian

[ForestsRequiem]

same age as my brother! Hmmmm... I wonder if I could get this good at singing with voice lessons and practice...

Great Job!
