they're singing in playback... but that's very good indeed.

@md663290

No, they are NOT singing in playback ! What made you think so ?

[Roseburg93]

Wonderful singing. Could have done without the glove puppet though.

[BERTIO5]

I totally agree. The puppet is definitely out-of-place, particularly with this religious piece. Most probably the TV director and the puppet master, as typical representatives of the French excellency in foreign languages (LoL) didn't understand one word of the lyrics, so they coudn't feel it was ill-placed...

I'm doing this song at my school

Puppet shows up to upstage kids' choir singing a great hymn; but when you remember it's FRENCH tv, then you realize it's perfectly normal...and classless.

[Moeowsandy]

2:40. sorry. rihgt in front of the chior master.

[Moeowsandy]

the mic is at 3:40

@HEisgreat777 try singing scales for instance, C E G C G E C, and on , and then go up an octave- this will extend your voice, i can sing anywhere from alto 2 to soprano 1

[md663290]

@BERTIO5 when the camera takes all the choir, we can't see any microphone, and the sound quality is too good for mic placed far away form them. And when someone make a pronounciation mistake, we can't hear it... but 'I'm shure they recorded that track and they are a very good choir!

@HEisgreat777 How far have you warmed up your seconds? None of those notes should be too difficult for a Second in reality but often they "think" it's too high. I currently conduct four choirs (an all women's church ensemble, two teen choirs and a kid's show choir) and have about 30 private voice students. It sounds like you need to be warming up your Seconds a bit more, every properly trained 2nd can hit a G w/ out difficulty.

@TheSternchen8 Ja, sichergehen.

[TheSternchen8]

@bachluther ansichtssache ;)

[bachluther]

@TheSternchen8 Nein, ich widersperchen. Ich glaube Sie sind sehr am aufrichtigsten und sehr schoen! (Entschuldigen, mein deutsch ist nich so gut!)
