With some good tuition, the G is achievable. However, this guy did a good job. Definitely sounds more like a baritone than a tenor-not sure if he is a bass. Interesting that he was such a lunatic- not seen it done like that before.
Some technics would suit that young man indeed quite well, then this song shouldn't pose a problem. But I admit that the last note is a very high one (OK, not for real tenors)
my goodness hes moving a lot. Way too much for a french soldier of his stature...some are cool give a nice creepiness, but most of it is just awkward, especially for his social status of that time period...and yes it IS a period piece.
You have to have some vocalrange to be a good musical singer - there are VERY few parts that fit for one voicetype - Even Caiphas have Fs... A good musical bass should be able to do a G on a good day... An remember a G is not that high, only for us basses
OK. I'll say it again: He is a bass. I know him quite well, and I can say it honestly. Just listen to the high notes in this song (The E and F above middle C.) He's clearly tearing his vocal chords apart, improperly singing them. We actually had to lower the last note by a fifth. He shouts only when it provides a dramatic effect. He can sing 2 octaves below middle C. Yes, he might have been miscast, but for the opposite reasons as you listed, (and we only have 180 students at this high school.)
Not bad, not bad. Favoriting this because Chauvelin is portrayed so differently from any other production. It's odd to see a raving lunatic onstage, but then I figured that the Jacobins of the Revolution no doubt acted like this with their cause.
Of course, the bass in Chauvelin comes out, as the G is copped out from the end. No offence intended; a bass 2 shouldn't be trying to sing Gs anyway unless he is extremely well-trained.
Yeah, we have one person at the school who can even hit G's, and he played Percy. Also, I, as the director, didn't really like how Falcon and Where's the Girl reprise ended in the cast recording. I like the low note endings better, because they seem to maintain the darkness of the songs. Glad you liked it.
Point made, but then again, considering the way he is portrayed in this particular production, there doesn't seem to be anything going through Chauvelin's head that the audience doesn't see. I just thought it was odd that he's screaming at the top of his lungs, then sings the C at the end.
Every other Chauvelin I've seen had shown some calmness, some calculation, some coldness, some level of control. I wouldn't have minded low-noting the end of those performances, but it seems strange here.
For example, search up Chris Murray Falke auf der Jagd. That video is from the German production of the show. It's even transposed up a half-step from the original and he sings the G# at the end of the song. Given, he's a tenor, but the darkness he shows in the character makes the C, or C# in his case, more viable at the end of the song.
I have to give Chauvelin credit though. I'm a high baritone, and I can sing A's on a good day, so this song would be singable for me.
The thing is, I know how shows can be. The directors tear up your voices in final rehearsal week, and your range and voal technique gets severely reduced. My highest note on my play night was an F.
I'd imagine singing Falcon in the Dive would be a nightmare after having been singing it everyday for the last two months.
Yes, and that note has always been just beyond his range. I have seen the Chris Murray clips.......over and over again. That man is a genius. I actually did like hearing the high notes with his videos, but usually, I just don't like it.
Cool. I do enjoy watching other productions, even if I have problems with them. You take a lot of pride in your school's production, and that is very commendable. You are not annoying like some of the other users from Lehi.
This video shivers my timbers. Favorited. I watch this song weekly.

Also, the ending I used was a lot better than the half-assed attempt to just go an octave lower, ending the song with absolutely no energy whatsoever.
I like your insights, bboy.

I'm not a big fan of his voice.
I preferred Andrew, our Chauvelin. ;]

I really didn't like his performance, particularly because he just stood there and sang. He didn't act through the part.

Ah, well, we all have our own wicked ways, I suppose.
Quick question though -- why is this a video response to mine? :/

Well, it's an easy way to get a lot of viewers quickly.

Anyway. I just uploaded "Where's The Girl" in a better um... Camera angle thing. If you're interested, I mean.

Hahahaha...
Well, you must realize that a lot of the actors who were in those performances are defending themselves on there.
It's not you, but quite a few people have been going on there bashing every little thing they worked so hard on.
At least, I know one of them is for certain. ;]
