Incredible on so many levels. I hope you have an agent who can focus on your ability to hit the notes. Great recording. So professional.

@davisgardenguy thank you! i'm not looking for ego-inflation, but is it just my ability to hit the notes that you like? i'm just trying to figure out my strengths, you know? thanks for watching and commenting!

Certainly better than the penny dreadful Josh Groban. A real tenor with a real tenor sound.He has good musical instincts too. His only defect seems to be that his E vowel is a little more forward that the A and O vowels. They tend to pop out of the line.

[logantenorino]

@Agorante Thanks much. What parts are you referencing with my i vowel? Is it on "Maria?" Any ideas on how to pull back such a bright vowel as that one?

[musicboy2009able]

I actually like his "i" vowel....it does stick out...i think perhaps his other vowels should match that one...it is perfectly forward. Not too bright....

[ObiWanFan30]

I had to favorite this one. It is absolutely beautiful. :)

[Agorante]

@logantenorino I think you have excellent material to work with. I'm sure you'll do fine. You should be auditioning everywhere you can. All three of your videos are very good but none have any fioratura. Potential casting authorities will notice that. You could probably start a career with Almaviva in Barber right now. If you can do the runs. I don't offer vocal advice. I hear you scale as being uneven but the only advice I could offer would be practice.

very interesting performance...your high range is something that would make a lot of male singers jealous :)!
