I think you have talent and you are not making justice neither to it neither to the Maestro. First, mind yourself that your voice is rare, and you have to respect it. You are kind of that claimed to be reincarnation of the 19th century soprano sfogato. What it is? - a person whose voice can fulfill sopranos and mezzos. When you do that O mio babbino caro, you perfectly make justice to Lauretta and the Maestro. Here, you have some passages where you do mezzo voice. You have to correct that.
Thank you so much for your commentary!!! I am such an amateur and do not have a professional to help me, so I am learning all of this on my own. It helps a lot to get feedback from those who know a lot about opera!
I hope one day I can know a lot about opera. I'm focused in it, at least.
Anyway, the learning passes through comparing unknown voices or potential talents with the Grands.
If you are ashamed of learning canto, just try an ordinary instrument. It will help you a lot about reading and interpretating the scores, furthermore than singigng by hear (but do not discard singing by hear). I play violin, and learning helped me a lot.
Amazing, Brittany. You sound like a pro. Your accent is also impressive! You can only say you're not Italian when you say "Madonna". I am Italian, so I can say. I have a pop background, but sometimes, I try to sing opera (tenor arias, as I'm a man) and I sound awful. You really really really impressed me. Congrats!
This was phenominal and the fact that you are a self-study of opera makes it even more amazing. You should most definitely record Nessum Dorma...I would be interested to hear your version of it.
No way..I cant believe that you have not had much more comments about your voice..you really need to get yourself out there,camp outside record companys,stalk producers...you have to get your voice out there!
I do not know where to start Unfortunately. There are many great voices in the world, and a lot of competition. I would love to record professionally or if I could sing opera professionally! Who knows what the future may hold.
Thank you for your comment Aetion! And thanks for watching. Any opinion is welcome :). I have heard that singing Puccini prematurely can ruin a voice, so I try to take it easy with his pieces.
Yes, that's good and please keep away from Nabucco's Abigaille, this "killer role», which has destroyed many a great soprano voices, Giuseppina Strepponi's (Verdi's second wife) included.
See what happened to Elena Souliotis, who became famous with this fatal role.

And respect the score. You've transposed it one semitone. There are 6 b in the first page and 3 in the others.

lol what happens at 1:04?

i can really hear Brittany. it's more like your talking voice i think, so i can recognize it more readily.
chris30269 3 years ago
i think it's because it's lower, where I am used to hearing your voice.

Bravo! You have a really nice voice. Go carefully about with it. I agree with vanimaquende, although I am not a professional.

That is sad, what happened to Elena Souliotis. I will definitely stay away from such roles. Thanks for the advice.

I get the feeling in this piece you are singing a bit too far back, try and use some nasal resonance, to give the voice more ping.
I think I read that you are only 19? You have a wonderful future ahead of you if you are. Be careful not to sing peices before you're ready.
all in all this was very impressive. well done
