He had a great performance in Toronto last night in La Clemenza Di Tito . I just had to hear him again and pleasantly surprised to find so much posted on the web .
Well, it's kind of too late, but should you wish to project your aspirations onto your children and you are what they call a "do-it-yourselfer", simply take them into your kitchen and with a meat cleaver in hand, chop off their testicles.
He has a mezzo voice color, and he sings high C's, can sing coloratura passages... This guy is great. And unlike all other countertenors, has a real vibrato... :)
@hwwolverine if anything he is a male soprano, as his larynx produces sounds the same as a female larynx, where as i am a counter tenor as my modal range is c3-c5 and falsetto i can get around c6 but falsetto doesnt count as it changes the way the words are formed

You straight white christian males and the Asians brainwashed by them are wasting time listening to euro classical music. You should be listening to music that has SOUL like Coltrane and Miles. Handel couldn't pick up James Brown's jockstrap.

@ufayad, I'm here to persuade you to stop listening to colonialist, imperialst music of straight white christian males and to listen to music of indigenous peoples so you can experience the richness of diversity. That's why I'm here.
@dawg00000 Diversity? Classical has been around for hundreds of years. I listen to music because its good music, not because a white person, black person, or asian person wrote it. John Coltrane, James Brown, and Miles Davis are indeed great artists, but there is incredible artistry in classical too. Everyone has different taste. Dont force your opinions on other people. That's very childish and rude.
@ufayad, who is forcing? I'm PERSUADING. Cultures of whiteness did the forcing with force conversions, etc. Why do most African Americans today have white names and a white religion? It was forced on their ancestors and now today their descendants of color have acquiesced to them. How sad.
@dawg00000 You dont think people feel guilty about that? Here in America, Pres. James Monroe felt it enough that he set up Liberia for Africans to go back to Africa if they wished. People cared enough to abolish slavery, grant blacks their rights, and make them truly equal. MLK dreamed that we could exist together in harmony. We now have a black pres. I'd say we've come a long way here. Blacks developed a culture of their own here (Jazz, blues, gospel, R&B, rap Hip-hop).
@ufayad, yes, monroe had the right idea. King? Too idealistic. BO? A sellout who should have appointed a chief of staff of color. Yes, now people of color can play sports. Big deal. Where are the African Americans and Latinas who are prominent physicists, chemists, and computer programmers at MIT or Caltech? ZERO. The powers that be will only let some Asians in their club because they are afraid of the power of African thought that was ripped off by the Greeks.

Sorry, but if you read the older comments, you will see that people have already mentioned that actually he does sing in falsetto. Everyone can hear that. There is nor difference between him and other countertenors. Listen to Radu Marian if you want to hear what a male modal soprano voice sound like. It is completely different.
even though in this vid he's bald and if i muted this video i would have thought he was female. i think maybe not just his voice didn't develop through his puberty
And FINALLY, I must say I really like Maniaci's voice, I am only disagreeing with the natural soprano crap, not with his talent... although in this particular video, it must be said sorry, he is not that great
this guy is actually not an actually tenor at all.
because during his puberty his voice didnt mature like most males do his voice is actually naturally a soprano range. ALL this is done in full voice... which is amazing
he's the only male in the world that is compared to be the closest thing we have to one of the original castratos of the past. because of this he doesnt quite sound like a countertenor in falsetto because its in full voice but he's not a female so he still resonates like a male
He is definitely NOT the "only one", and he is NOT th closest thing to an original castrato. Listen to Radu Marian and Javier Medina, they both have unbroken voices and sound totally different. Besides, the falsetto in Maniaci´s voice is discret, but clear to hear.
@aznprotos HE IS NOOOOOT!!! that's what wikipedia and his agent say. Is everyone really THAT stupid and lack such personal discernment as to believe everythign they are told??? Radu Marian doesn't sing falsetto, youtube him and you will see the difference. GOD!!!!
this guy sounds exactly like a countertenor, i dont know why everyone says he is a NATURAL soprano and how different his voice sounds to the cts'... or else in that case, falsetto countertenors sound just like natural sopranos and altos/castrati.
i think its the fact that his voice sits higher than a counter tenor. he can go about a sixth higher. i can sing countertenor, yet I can't hit high A's to C's like this guy can.
it has nothing to do with it. Male lower voices also have different types (bass to tenor). this guy sings in falsetto, that is what i meant. He could sing tenor too, which means, he is NOT a natural soprano. Get what I mean?
@lathandien I have... and I don't need wikipedia to tell me what i can hear with my own ears... there are others who think the same. The natural soprano shit is ONLY a maketing thing... get real... if you know anything about voice production (and I was a professional countertenor for a few years) you can hear the falsetto ALL the time in this guy. PERIOD. No more discussion if you have no clue, please
okay, sorry i don't know much about opera. i'm not even sure how i stumbled upon this video and this guy, cause i listen to metal mostly haha. but i do appreciate other forms of music.
@lathandien sorry to rant at you, really, mate. It is only that EVERYONE blahs and blahs about this and they will just swallow everything publicists (who just want to make money) tell them...
Maniaci is great, but he IS a countertenor... i am a guy and not a girl, and that is good, but it would be ridiculous to pretend i am one... why would i? to make money with the freakish show? well, this is pretty much THAT.
@Secretzsavvy I am not a professional countertenor, at least not anymore. I worked in a professional early music choir for a long while and have done a few 'big' gigs as a soloist, but my real career goes in a very different direction and I never wanted to give it up for singing, be that a mistake (as some people suggested) or not, we will never know :-)
best of lucks for you, if you are thinking to become a pro singer!!!!!
omg!!! i will never sing with such a powerfull voice!!!!!!!
i still sound like a boy !!!!!! well i have improved now....i sound kinda like a "big boy", but not like maniaci!!!!! maniaci is incredible!!!! he sounds like 10 sopranos at the same time!!!!! i guess he has worked a lot for getting such a inmense voice....ive been singing just for 2 years....but I have allways Michael as a maximum goal and a referent. But only that i wont make that much vibrato.
well his voice DID brake, he has a mezzo-soprano voice break, you can hear it. And he has an adult male voice colour and timbre in speaking, its just, from a NATURAL MALE SOPRANO, its light and high.
If you ask me, I have all the same as him
And you know, that IS NOT WEIRD.
I know some ppl that are natural soprani or altos and they dont even sing.
Its just NARROW MINDED to think all men have to be TENOR OR DEEPER.
and regarding to what i can do and what i cant do yet, i was talking about that MANIACI has a impressive technique and TRAINING, and i haven't yet, because i just sing since little time with an opera teacher. Maniaci is really a role model to follow.
His acting is wonderful. He's very good at being funny, and perfect in the comic male role- I had the privilege of seeing him live as Nerone in Agrippina, where he was also hilarious and vocally impressive in turns. Great singer.
NOT! He's not in falsetto. This is his modal voice. He is the only known singer who can sing in the soprano register usually sung by women in his normal voice. Quite an extraordinary talent.
In fact, he is NOT the only known. Listen to Javier Medina and Radu Marian here on yt. Both have true unbroken soprano voices, while Maniaci himself said his voice "did change partially", Especially the voice of Marian is much lighter and clearer than Maniacis voice.
They call Maniaci the only known "male soprano" because his vocal chords changed to the same extent that women soprano's do, whereas Radu Marian's voice never changed at all. But you are right he is not the only modal high singing dude :)
Well Radu Marian may as well be. Where Michael Maniaci's voice shifted a bit, Radu's voice never changed at all. He has perfectly retained his boyhood voice and therefore sings on tier with a castrato despite never actually being castrated. If I remember correctly it is some sort of hormone deficiency or disorder.
Michael Maniaci is a real, trained voice, with no gimics. Since this video was made nearly 4 years ago his voice has developed even more and his verstility is admirable. His stage persona has also got more interesting too. A Fine - and going to be one day great - artist.
I'm sorry StingDrift, but Greg Pritchard might be new kid on the block but nowhere near needs checking out; he needs intensive training, better diction, breath control, and more color in the voice. He has potential, but nowhere near professional standard and probably not so audible in a mid size theatre or hall off mic! There are many other singers who have studied hard and long to get where they are and would probably find it offensive to even consider Greg Pritchard as "competition" (yet).
he's a natural castrato like radu marian so this is what they got to sound like in the 18th century which is pretty cool :)

@CheckedAvailability That's because his voice did not change when he went through puberty, so essentially, he has the same voice as a woman or child.

He has a mezzo voice color, and he sings high C's, can sing coloratura passages... This guy is great. And unlike all other countertenors, has a real vibrato... :)

@stefflo712 he's not a counter tenor though :)
his voice actually didn't drop very far when he was growing up,
so it basically stayed in a soprano range
hwwolverine 1 year ago 17
@hwwolverine if anything he is a male soprano, as his larynx produces sounds the same as a female larynx, where as i am a counter tenor as my modal range is c3-c5 and falsetto i can get around c6 but falsetto doesnt count as it changes the way the words are formed

You straight white christian males and the Asians brainwashed by them are wasting time listening to euro classical music. You should be listening to music that has SOUL like Coltrane and Miles. Handel couldn't pick up James Brown's jockstrap.

@ufayad, I'm here to persuade you to stop listening to colonialist, imperialst music of straight white christian males and to listen to music of indigenous peoples so you can experience the richness of diversity. That's why I'm here.
dawg00000 1 year ago
@dawg00000 Diversity? Classical has been around for hundreds of years. I listen to music because its good music, not because a white person, black person, or asian person wrote it. John Coltrane, James Brown, and Miles Davis are indeed great artists, but there is incredible artistry in classical too. Everyone has different taste. Dont force your opinions on other people. That's very childish and rude.
ufayad 1 year ago
@ufayad, who is forcing? I'm PERSUADING. Cultures of whiteness did the forcing with force conversions, etc. Why do most African Americans today have white names and a white religion? It was forced on their ancestors and now today their descendants of color have acquiesced to them. How sad.
dawg00000 1 year ago
@dawg00000 You dont think people feel guilty about that? Here in America, Pres. James Monroe felt it enough that he set up Liberia for Africans to go back to Africa if they wished. People cared enough to abolish slavery, grant blacks their rights, and make them truly equal. MLK dreamed that we could exist together in harmony. We now have a black pres. I'd say we've come a long way here. Blacks developed a culture of their own here (Jazz, blues, gospel, R&B, rap Hip-hop).

Sorry, but if you read the older comments, you will see that people have already mentioned that actually he does sing in falsetto. Everyone can hear that. There is nor difference between him and other countertenors. Listen to Radu Marian if you want to hear what a male modal soprano voice sound like. It is completely different.

even though in this vid he's bald and if i muted this video i would have thought he was female. i think maybe not just his voice didn't develop through his puberty

this guy is actually not an actually tenor at all.
because during his puberty his voice didnt mature like most males do his voice is actually naturally a soprano range. ALL this is done in full voice... which is amazing
he's the only male in the world that is compared to be the closest thing we have to one of the original castratos of the past. because of this he doesnt quite sound like a countertenor in falsetto because its in full voice but he's not a female so he still resonates like a male
aznprotos 2 years ago 9
He is definitely NOT the "only one", and he is NOT th closest thing to an original castrato. Listen to Radu Marian and Javier Medina, they both have unbroken voices and sound totally different. Besides, the falsetto in Maniaci´s voice is discret, but clear to hear.

this guy sounds exactly like a countertenor, i dont know why everyone says he is a NATURAL soprano and how different his voice sounds to the cts'... or else in that case, falsetto countertenors sound just like natural sopranos and altos/castrati.
amatorynumber 2 years ago
i think its the fact that his voice sits higher than a counter tenor. he can go about a sixth higher. i can sing countertenor, yet I can't hit high A's to C's like this guy can.

@bcom11
it has nothing to do with it. Male lower voices also have different types (bass to tenor). this guy sings in falsetto, that is what i meant. He could sing tenor too, which means, he is NOT a natural soprano. Get what I mean?

PERIOD. No more discussion if you have no clue, please

@Secretzsavvy I am not a professional countertenor, at least not anymore. I worked in a professional early music choir for a long while and have done a few 'big' gigs as a soloist, but my real career goes in a very different direction and I never wanted to give it up for singing, be that a mistake (as some people suggested) or not, we will never know :-)

But only that i wont make that much vibrato.

karina1510 2 years ago
@karina1510
well his voice DID brake, he has a mezzo-soprano voice break, you can hear it. And he has an adult male voice colour and timbre in speaking, its just, from a NATURAL MALE SOPRANO, its light and high.
If you ask me, I have all the same as him
And you know, that IS NOT WEIRD.
I know some ppl that are natural soprani or altos and they dont even sing.
Its just NARROW MINDED to think all men have to be TENOR OR DEEPER.
PPL ARE ALL DIFFERENT, and have different voices.
AndresSopranista 2 years ago
@karina1510
ALL PPL HAVE VOICE BRAKS, sopranos, mezzos , altos, tenors, basses...because you know, YOU DONT TALK LIKE WHEN YOU WHERE 3 YEARS OLD!!!
and......i was not talking about that my voice was different type from maniaci in voice TYPE. As i said...
its not WEIRD to be a natural soprano or alto.
The thing is to sing WELL AND POWERFULL, like he does.
And that is a consequence of INTENSE WORK AND PRACTICE....and that is why MANIACI IS GREAT, not JUST because of his VOICE TYPE.

NOT! He's not in falsetto. This is his modal voice. He is the only known singer who can sing in the soprano register usually sung by women in his normal voice. Quite an extraordinary talent.

In fact, he is NOT the only known. Listen to Javier Medina and Radu Marian here on yt. Both have true unbroken soprano voices, while Maniaci himself said his voice "did change partially", Especially the voice of Marian is much lighter and clearer than Maniacis voice.

They call Maniaci the only known "male soprano" because his vocal chords changed to the same extent that women soprano's do, whereas Radu Marian's voice never changed at all. But you are right he is not the only modal high singing dude :)

Incorrect.
There are actually natural (and intact) castratos with voices more suited to these types of operas, like Radu Marian.

ya but they're not castrated.

Well Radu Marian may as well be. Where Michael Maniaci's voice shifted a bit, Radu's voice never changed at all. He has perfectly retained his boyhood voice and therefore sings on tier with a castrato despite never actually being castrated. If I remember correctly it is some sort of hormone deficiency or disorder.

He doesn't use falsetto.
It's not hard to tell head and chest voice from falsetto, btw.

Michael Maniaci is a real, trained voice, with no gimics. Since this video was made nearly 4 years ago his voice has developed even more and his verstility is admirable. His stage persona has also got more interesting too. A Fine - and going to be one day great - artist.

I'm sorry StingDrift, but Greg Pritchard might be new kid on the block but nowhere near needs checking out; he needs intensive training, better diction, breath control, and more color in the voice. He has potential, but nowhere near professional standard and probably not so audible in a mid size theatre or hall off mic! There are many other singers who have studied hard and long to get where they are and would probably find it offensive to even consider Greg Pritchard as "competition" (yet).
