Thank you everyone very much for your compliments and constructive criticism. I, too, agree, that my eyes and facial expressions are a bit strange (I used my facial expressions to place my voice), and my teacher and I have been working on changing that for the past eight months. I hope to upload something improved soon, and would be very interested to hear if it does or doesn't come across more natural looking, and how the resulting change in sound compares. Thanks again for watching!

The voice is beautiful, diction is also very, very gut. You are also lean und handsome, one of the most important things nowadays for the stage. I didn´t like the acting, I think you are trying to make a fresh italian, but you are a very elegant german girl. So try to solve the roll in another way, from your heart and people will believe it. As I close my eyes, the voice convince in every minute! Very good Mozart!

Actually, I think the right interpretation is still different.

I believe Zerlina knows very well how to get her Masetto back. She knows he loves her so much that he can't live without her and she knows he would never beat her. (Remember how she leaves him to go with Don Giovanni? She's very self-confident and knows she could go with another man the very day of her marriage and that Masetto wouldn't leave her). Indeed, just playing the victim for 5 minutes will get him back to her.

esecuzione fedelissima allo spirito Mozartiano , ottima cantante coadiuvata da un grande pianista che ne esalta le abilità accompagnandola con innumerevoli sfumatore agogiche , espressive e timbriche , tocco anch'esso adeguato alla musica di Mozart , complimenti ed un cordiale saluto a tutti gli amanti di questa splendida musica dall'Italia

best one ive seen so far did everything you need to do when singing an opera song

[enjolras1983]

yes indeed an excellent voice,good breath( and I know HOW difficult this song is, I study it now) but you have to take care of the acting. try watching Liliana Nikiteanu...

Zerlina is a clever girl a diva in the body of a tiny bird she KNOWS the great power she has on Masetto...she s a hidden godess pretending to be helpless, under the man's commands ....but just pretending!!!...if the man is the HEAD of the house, the woman is the NECK, and she can turn the head wherever she wants....
