Sounds like the cowardly lion.

Fantastic! You need an accompanist who can keep up with you though. :s

[BrooksFabianG]

This is really good. Are there more? How did you develop such good diaphragm control?

[maddentimothy09]

EXCELLENT accompanist and excellent clarity on the melismas. I, personally, went for a smoother sound, especially on the scalar passages for the sake of ease, but it seems like the more separated sound was a choice, not a by product of poor technique.

Bravo

Very nice sound! I also sang this on my Junior Recital. Good luck with your Senior recital (if you haven't done it already).

There is nothing particularly more wonderful about UK accents.

[10Amuffett]

excellent tone and pitching of the melismas, but you just need to work on the american accent that's coming through sometimes. apart from that everythings good.

[maddentimothy09]

@10Amuffett Careful not to mistake a British accent for correct English diction. If we're thinking in terms of the rules laid out by Wall, Marshall, and Coffin, they're are some significant differences between the British dialect and common practice English diction.
