@MikomiUsa52592 Yes, its so easy to criticize and so difficult to perfect the voice! So many in here are much to hypercritical, as if their digs make them better people. There is plenty of room for all types of singers. I quote something from a poem I once read: "If only the songbirds sang----the woods would be a very quiet place!"

-king the consonants voiced and the text clear. I do appreciate your opinions. Just keep in mind that this is NOT an easy profession, and everyone has their off days. :)

@Brunildilla Do you even know who Renee Flemming is...? She is like...a super soprano! Do you sing yourself? Because if not, you must realize how hard it is to sing with emotion in your voice AND on your face, but also keep the music within the dynamic and color that it was written in. This is a HARD thing to do, especially with an orchestra; because you have to project your voice over them AND let the audience in the furthest part of the room hear you.

@Brunildilla "Your way of singing Mozart is too aggressive" What are you, some kind of Time Lord ?" ALL you KNOW is what has become customary! Mozart may well have adored this, as I do.

Renné, if you want to know and learn how to sing Mozart, you should listen her....listen GUNDULA JANOWITZ.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brunildilla]

Therefore, I invite you not only not to pursue these kinds of repertory which you were not meant to be, but also to listen to Gundula Janowitz who is one of the best references, in my personal opinion among many others, will always be the biggest Mozart exponent ever. She not only possessed all the features I mentioned above but also a brilliant technique, a sublime and angelical voice, effortless sound emission which was absolutely in style. In a nutshell a glorious and perfect performance.

[Brunildilla]

Sadly, you do not offer none of the features mentioned above. Your way of singing Mozart is too aggressive. Your voice is too haevy, and it is possible to notice that you make a big effort for singing. You're completely out of the necessary style, your acting is absolutely overshowed and among other things. To BE CONTINUED....
