This is a selection from my Junior Recital, June of 2009. I'm 21 years old and working on my bachelor's degree in vocal performance. Let me know what you think.

Hey, good choices for a recital obviously, but in the future you should try and show off your leggiero voice with something more operatic and higher notes! I'm also a tenor, but my voice is a bit heavier so I envy guys like you sometimes...

Great voice, you're gonna do well!

[pjcurtis1]

Thank you for your insight. I'm definitely planning to venture higher for my next recital.

[annapetjanna]

you put a little too much pressure on on every note, as if every note has an accent.

(if that´s the right word) but you have a lovely voice!

Omg, I LOVE the way you vary the final "fever and pain." Very nice.

@Eauphelia His is probably actually the one in AbM. I'm looking at it right now...

[UsagiLovesCookies]

I think the only thing I could say is that try to connect more... I have a problem with that being a clarinetist and clipping notes when I sing and trying to be TOO exacting with the beat, but I actually wasn't listening for quality... I'm singing this song this semester so I thought I poke on by and listen. I'm glad it's in the same key o.O But the early mornign hours denote high soprano voicing.

[TGTSTS]

Beautiful! Just make sure your vowels are elongated, rather than widened. For example, "love" could be "l-aw-ve," with your jaw dropped slightly. Also, try connecting phrases and making it more legato. Just some pointers that have worked for me when I sang this song. :)

Keep it up. You sound great!

i like it

[paulwilsonmusician]

wow :O amazing

[Eauphelia]

Sorry, wanted to say it has to be in a sharp not b flat, since your version is in g sharp major... Stupid enharmonic change. ;)

[Eauphelia]

Beautiful voice! But why are you singing (and playing) a b on the word "more" in the phrase "with pride no more swell". Doesn't it have to be a b flat? In my score which is in g major it's an a. Maybe you made a mistake in your transposition to g sharp major. Or did you do it deliberately?

there is life, energy, emotion in your sound

i admire those who have this - they are special singers
