fantastic!
-
very good performance but as G&S is staunchly middle-class English, the American accent comes across a little bit too much. Excellent portrayal of Marco however
-
Handsome and theatrical, this guy is going to get a career if he doesn't have one already.

-

Jason, nicely done...however, pay more attention to your phrasing of the vocal line. You are tending to 'bite off' phrases such as "happy man" and "if your can"...these are legato dotted quarter notes and your singing them as if they were staccato eighths. Good stage presence!

Thanks for your thoughts. You have to realize this is a silly performance for my senior recital--where I truly was just messing around. I did play the character in the show earlier in my senior year in college, and I assure you I sang it as written...otherwise I would have been in trouble. :)

This is a great performance of an old song, and so I'm not quite sure why the audience is laughing - unless there's something just off camera that we can't see?

You're quite right. ALL the people in the audience had moved ALL the way forward, some people were even sitting right on the stage with me. It was an audience of friends and family--and they were just being "funny".

Too much wine and has brought the froth of my sub-conscious to the fore....I watched the Go-Between (if you haven't seen it, seek it out)a few weeks back and this very song was performed by Alan Bates with the gorgeous Julie Christie on the piano. An idle, hopeful Youtube moment yielded this bravissimo performance . Great voice, what inspired you to choose this song?

I was in this show in college, that's why I sang it at my recital.
