Your first comment was on how many terrible voice teachers with credentials exist, but you can't make that call if you don't know anything about voice study. You have one friend that had a bad experience, and without vocal knowledge you can't possibly know whether even THAT teacher was g...

When a singer's jaw shakes, it's for the same reason your legs shake when you're squatting too much weight: it's the body's way of dissipating excessive tension across a larger surface in an attempt to avoid injury. This is scientific fact, it's also verifiable that her jaw is shakin...

So his tip for getting rid of morning voice is to get up and do things until it's not morning anymore. Wow, buddy.

Morning voice occurs because the cords slacken and dehydrate, also becoming swollen due to the normal pooling of blood when you're laying down. Slack, swollen cords = low voice. Bi...

Here is why this is a bad teacher:

The title is "the secret to hitting high notes". He doesn't tell you how to do it, only to be ok with the fact that you can't do it. Never tells you how to smooth your break, only to be aware th...

@Operanobility

Right, right... I'm sorry, I keep forgetting. That must be why all my singer friends are wearing such slutty audition outfits lately.

@gerardinhomilano

I know that. And he had a microphone in his costume the entire time, this is common knowledge for many opera singers. It doesn't count as opera when you have a microphone to do all of your projection for you.

@KT319

I think Diana Damrau's is better in every single way. If you disagree, I'd like to know why, because if this version is actually better than I'm really missing something, and I don't want to be out of the loop.

@EndlessCompassion

It doesn't take a professional gymnast to see an epic faceplant at the olympics and decide that it's because the gymnast fucked up.

@stelleking

Alot of the people are complaining because they listen TOO MUCH. It takes a lot of attention listening to a lot of different people to "find flaws"... almost anyone would hear this and only hear perfection, it takes some serious picking to find a flaw with this!

@theatrenthusiast

Right. Most people don't. I'm starting to question whether I do myself. Everyone tells me this is good, that Kaufmann, Dessay, Villazon and Netrebko are good, and I always disagree so maybe I don't know anything.

@crapfacejoe

Okay, explain in objective terms how Lanza's is better.

The clip description cracks me up. That's why there's so much bad singing nowadays: students are learning the art of singing from teachers with purely academic credentials and no technical or artistic ear. In vocal pedagogy courses, American singers (like me) learn about making a CV, headshots, w...

This is not a contest, because contests have clear winners and losers, & we're debating subjective things like tone, interpretation, looks... personal taste.

In terms of objective criteria, Pav is better. Florez sings out of tune in many places here, & the vibrato cuts out several times, along ...

@MrSkylark1

YOU ARE SO RIGHT

@BERNARDOANUK

Domingo recorded everything, but he does not have a GREAT recording of ANYTHING. Also everyone knows his high notes were bad. it's very simple: in modern times people care more about looks and acting, and they tolerate bad singing.

@76alexantonio

No one explains why they like Bocelli objectively, it's always personal things like "he just has that magic" "it touches my soul" or "it's so pure & clean etc". The reality is Bocelli doesn't play the instrument that the aria was written for: a large tenor voice singing without am...
