Les Miserable School Edition Part 16 Empty Chairs

[gazbason]

Well done but his voice is no where near powerful enough

[ShmizzyMcGriddles]

Besides some disagreeable vowels and a wide vibrato this guy is pretty damn good. I don't know why people expect high school singers to have a professional sound. It's why we go to college and study. Good lord. Bravo!

[dustbunee2007]

This was very good.

Did it never strike you, M'sieur Pontmercy, that your chair is restricting greatly your ability to express yourself?

[MrAaronWomball]

i love this producton.

I'm Marius at my local theatre company, gahh its hard.

Love this guy!

Would have liked to have seen a bit more emotion in the voice. You sung it bloody perfectly, but something i've been working on a lot has been the meaning of words, and getting a bit of rawness into it. But as i say, freaking love this.

I prefere this guy, the the guy who is on west end at the moment!

[genomeman]

wow the tomorrow never came bit sent shivers down my spine in a good way

[JoeBaker1990]

@LankySpotlighter93 thanks for the feed back dude.

[Thriller94]

Dude... FUCK,... Stop forcing you vibrato, it sounds horrible!

[JoeBaker1990]

@Thriller94 fair point (but unnecessary harsh delivery) .I can assure you its not forced at all I just didn't know how to fully control my voice back then I was young and nervous and doing my best we are by no means professional (we are a school production after all). I have now sorted the vibrato and got it under a leash and yes when I watch it back I do wish it was more subtle (the joys of a developing voice) but hay it's in the passed I don't need to be criticized over it 2 years on.

[Lara025]

i think it was great. well done

[thereisloveinheaven]

He sounds too young for this role, someone with a more mature voice would have been better. Watch the vibrato, it's a little much.

[thesonganddancegirl]

he has a LOT of verbrato but its still a REALLY good voice

[Calvinist4Christ]

omigosh the song that Marius sings is sooo sad.... This production's Marius is amazing, wonderful voice and expressions..... almost made me cry (which is really hard to do).

[BCE42906]

@Calvinist4Christ This guy was very good...overall, I thought the group that did this show did a beautiful job.  Incredible story with Christian themes throughout...forgiveness and redemption

[BeckyTeacup]

@Calvinist4Christ finally someone who also thinks marius is fantastic!

[b4kristo]

[bondkaylabond]

You made me cry. your voice is so beautiful! my school is putting this on next year! im so exited, im hoping to get cossette. i hope we can get a marius as good as you, but it would be hard ;)

[JoeBaker1990]

Aww bless you. Such a lovely and encouraging comment. Wish you the best of luck with your audition I hope you get cosette. It's Such a fantastic show to do and you will love it I Would give my left leg to do it again.

[bondkaylabond]

[rogerdavis02]

marius has a nice voice but the vowels and the accent really ruin the performance for me. The word is ask not ausk! nice voice tho

[twatfacebetty]

I love Marius' voice and I think he sounds manly enough so why are people so critical?

[peoplesparties]

message to theaterass, im guessing that you would love to be on the stage but your crap and people tell you all the time that your crap and knocking people down makes you feel big, well mate you are a loser and im guessing you always will be. sorry mate some people are made for the stage and im guessing that you arnt!!!!!!. its sad really......get a life and some new ears or a new hearing aid and shut the f*ck up.......okay rant over, joe you rock!!!!!!

[LesMiz08]

[JoeBaker1990]

Thank you so much that means a lot :). Les Miserables is my favorite show ever. My dream is to play Marius maybe professionally in like the distant future lol as performing has always been a passion. so comments like this are really encouraging.
