[124235346]

@lamusicahera you are retarded.

[hobo1975]

thankyou binelli for the chance to hear all these videos.grazie mille!!

[235binelli]

@hobo1975 Thanks to you hobo1975, hope can be used in the right way for all you guys,... and start becoming part of the Italian Bel Canto with passion and knowledge

[longliveclassicmusic]

The technique actually has some wonderful aspects to it, however you can tell that these Italian students don't practice as much as American singers. There is a lot of inconsistency. They naturally have the approach to singing necessary because of the language, and they go to master teachers who do a lot of refining and fine-tuning. But you can tell she doesn't practice consistently because the pitch and support and vowel formation choices are inconsistent, shakey, and unpredictable. PRACTICE!!!

quando arriva sul si acuto sembra l'urlo di munch

[anamadeit]

I bet a lot of these negative comments from all these trolls really can't sing. Even if her voice is aged she can easily reach both high and low octaves. Can the rest of you do the same?

[ErikaLuzardo]

huy! que no grite

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

I wonder if anyone realizes that much of this is intentionally exaggerated for the sake of theatrics.

[deterrese]

I wonder if there any lesson for a light voice (soprano leggero) im working on my higher register and i would like to find something about it :D

[norisv]

@deterrese, You might want to check out the video "Master Class Series with Mezzo-Soprano Denyce Graves," even though it's not a specific lesson on training a light voice. ;)

[JGOSPELS]

ma l'intonazione??? ragazzi svegliaaaa! e le dinamiche scritte sulla parte?? cantare non è buttare fuori la voce come viene!!

[bodiloto]

@JGOSPELS l'intonazione dipende della tecnica.

cantare? che bella parola...oggigiorno lei tra i pochi che parlano dell'intonazione...

Anche il professore e stonato...

E poi la voce di questa ragazza balla,balla,balla...

E questo si chiama canto?

[everopera]

@JGOSPELS grande!

[RonaldBarone]

She does have a beautiful voice... but... I am very sorry for what I am about to say, I might be wrong, but that what I think....

I can hear her breathing, and it sounds forced and it is very vulgar. She shouldn't be singing having those bad habits

[RocktheStageNYC]

@RonaldBarone - wow could you be any more arrogant? She shouldn't be singing? And precisely who are you to make such judgments "Mr. Elvira Swinging Boobs"? To say someone shouldn't be singing is like saying they shouldn't be living. Regardless of her technique you have NO place to pronounce such a sentence.

Can one really describe breath support as "vulgar". To use such a word just reeks of self-proclaimed proficiency, yet I see no evidence of your abilities to the contrary.

[RonaldBarone]

@RocktheStageNYC You cant forget me hun? hhahahahaha

Tell me... what did I do to you?

And what is wrong if I like Elvira hahahahaha

Its a memory from my childhood

Mr. Nice Hair... come on, lets make peace.... DO YOU NEED A HUG? :-)

[RocktheStageNYC]

@RonaldBarone - forget you? when you make such statements? puhleeze.

[RonaldBarone]

@RocktheStageNYC Oh come on... you love it hahahahaha

By the way, what shampoo do you use, your hair looks so nice and shinny ;-)

Sense you are all about fight I will send you a kiss ok?

have a nice day lol

[Raf90pazen]

En el minuto 1:58 tenores y sopranos tienen que tener cuidado con el tempo. Q pasa cn los barítonos las mezzos los bajos y las contraltos?

[monpitt500]

Very low larynx like Del Monaco and others of this period

[jibbyjane]

This man obviously is musical, and understands the traditions of Italian opera. HOWEVER, he isn't correcting anything technical. She has TERRIBLE technique. he is encouraging this over-weighting of the voice on very little support (see how her body around her belt never moves at all). The high notes are damaging, detached from the rest of the voice (because of the over-weighting), wild and out of tune. She should go to a technical teacher then come back to him later. ps yes I am a pro singer

[pianomags]

@jibbyjane Yep. There are 1000s of oung singers putting their trust in ppl like this. The pressure to get noticed early on must be immense, but how can he not pull her up about the support thing? It's a real pity. I wonder how she'll sound in 2 years :/

[ralpius]

Terrible covered singing! It's like Callas on a bad day - and let's face it, she had few good ones. I'll give her two years before the voice is totally wrecked.

[MariaCaIIas]

@ralpius few good ones is still better than none....

Still... having this name as eternal reference (even negative in this case) must mean something...

Regarding this video, this is a lesson... I do not know these people thus I cannot judge unless I know what stage they think they are at.

[az24043]

@ Ralpius IO PENSO CHE LEI SIA GIA' DISTRUTTO ORA...., MA COME PERSONA!!!???

[norisv]

I wonder if she's going to have any voice left in ten years after singing with such faulty techniques.

[dengelikedi]

i totally agree..

[az24043]

norisv @ ... e ch Più evidente il Che "tutti Voi siate pseudointenditori di Belcanto assolutamente NON DE GRADO DI STABILIRE Quale SIA GIUSTA LA TECNICA DA UTILIZZARE !!!!!!! PERCHE 'I VOSTRI commenti SONO ASSOLUTAMENTE GRATUITI ED ALTRETTANTO ASSOLUTAMENTE ERRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAATIIIIIII­IIIIIIII !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[RocktheStageNYC]

@norisv - simple faulty technique does not ruin a voice. Dangerous technique ruins voices.

[Rob1lyn]

chi sà dirmi di dove insegna?ha l'accento leccese,ed io sono del brindisino...se insegna dalle mie parti provo a contattarlo...

[235binelli]

Caro Rob1lyn: insegna a Trepuzzi Lecce visita il ns sito ilbelcanto . org

[AmhranaiAlainn]

False teaching & singing.

A far cry from true bel canto teaching.

Words not notes.

Mind not vocal chords and physicality.

Interpret the story not the melody.

Nature already has given her and all who aspire to sing, that which is needed to sing perfectly and beautifully. The truth is still hidden from both student and teacher.

Grant it he does refer to some elements which are important but yet he still teaches based on the sound of the voice, which is false. The correct lineage is important.

[DanyelHawkes]

thank you so much! very well said

[Marin1975]

She is pushing (making pressure to)diafragma too much, and producing this awful vibrato. It's impossible to sing real belcanto with this kind of pressure,

[nulkaify]

i dont like her voice,she killed the very beautiful tosca! bad vibrato,intonation is very bad,too..how he cant hear it???im a singer ,too..cant believe-never heard a wors version like this! sorry!

[az24043]

@ Nulkaify

LA MUSICA LEI NON SA COSA SIA NEMMENA! 

[wallilirica]

l'intonazione è un'optional... ehheh!

[deepplots]

isn't the point of a masterclass to work on issues the singer is having? i think she's getting what she came for and with his coaching she will become an even better singer. She has intonation problems which he will work on is she continues to study with Maestro Canana.

Her tone is very open and i'm sure he will address this as well.

[monpitt500]

much too opened, bad vibrato this voice won't last for long unless she changes her way of producig=ng the tone

[hukleinelulu]

hmmm...her intonation is not optimum...makes this clip very hard to listen to, even though the maestro is making some good points...

[az24043]

hukleinelulu @ LEI DEVE ESSERE UN Pò SORDOOOOOO/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[gloriakimcanto]

everything's stuck in inside the mouth. clean up to do.

[imya77]

absolutely --so much is swallowed--too much throat singing...hope he corrects this since she has potential

[decodedx33]

sharp! :D:

[dodi132]

This is so very interesting!

Thanks so much for posting!

[andrewdharris]

She is so pitchy! Doesn't he hear that?

[235binelli]

He does at 2.00' (we did'nt translate all) it was done just to give an idea about our lessons and how important it is the Melodrama for singers. thanks

[datboywitdemvocals06]

@andrewdharris Maybe its here accent... like how rihanna is.... buh i think she awesomeeeee

[TheaterMarine88]

@andrewdharris Maybe that's why she's taking lessons?

[akalex15]

WOW HOW AMAZED

[emirmaz]

very nice
