-.- It's so hard to control vibratto. At least for me it is. Especially when I'm nervous. But I think it sounds lovely. Just look at Sarah Brightman. She's always all aAaAaAaAaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaa­. xD

[TheJoeLchen]

don't like the version!

[getwithit13]

That was reallyy good :D but try keeping pace in the beginning. Longer notes aren't always prettier.

[MegaAwesomenessFTW]

Her vibratto is a little too strong, it downplays the sweetness of the song. But her voice is really clear and strong. I don't think this song was suitable for her voice. But she has an amazing voice :)

@OnWeMove have u ever seen the actual musical before? The movie version of Johanna is such an embarrassing. Johanna is nervous about not frail at all, this song is suppose to be a quasi opera song, if anything it needs to be much stronger. With that said, very good job

First of all you are all really pretty. Second of all I think you did this really well. I think you could have let your self get freer with your acting, you are obviously really focused on how your voice sounds, (which is good). I'm sure you are aware you vibrato is slow and big, I guess that's just a preference. I say let it do what it freaking wants, but do be careful because sometimes that vibrato can make you pitchy. Good work! Nice bird:)

@OnWeMove It should be in the sidebar. It isn't very good ((not good at all, in fact)). But, there are some Johannas that are crazy, but still sound very good. And, a loud vibrato is a good way to get insanity. Like any character, there is no "one way" to play them. Some, like you, see Johanna as a sweet innocent, trapped in a cross fire of madness. Others see her as a paranoid schizophrenic who has become delusion from years of solitude. There is a lot of different ways she can be played.

[OnWeMove]

@Sasoriscarecrow really? ive never seen the original before. how is she insane?

[Sasoriscarecrow]

@OnWeMove That depends on the interpretation, I guess. But, the original is not soft or fragile. In fact, the fragile thing is new to Johanna. She is actually QUITE insane. Now, don't get me wrong, the original sucks, but the soft fragile girl is a misinterpretation. My personal opinion, of course.

[LaheaAtxkxeftu]

I don't like when she's trying to be very loud at the vibratos, it makes her sound like one of those car alarms...

[OnWeMove]

@Sasoriscarecrow No, i mean that she sounds like she's forcing her voice to be loud, when johanna's voice is soft and quiet

[Sasoriscarecrow]

@OnWeMove trust me, this isn't powerful at all. >.>
