@67lawliet My teacher used to tell me to have a "yawny feeling" to relax and drop the jaw, which helps with tone. I suppose she is doing the same thing. :)

@AgnesRegina She's defintely one of my favorite voices. I have never sung with her, but have sung with people who have sung with her...and everyone says how down to earth and fun she is.

[AgnesRegina]

@baritonebynight It was beyond priceless! I was so surprised when she started singing her song that I just died laughing.... and her acting was amazing. Someone has it up on youtube, actually. I can't remember the title of the video, it may just be her name, but with a bit of hunting you will probably find it!

I think "A" in "Alleluia" (0:26 and 0:30) is not sharp enough.

I do not know what note it is, either.

This song is masterpiece, and the performance is masterpiece as well.

[baritonebynight]

@AgnesRegina I'm so glad to hear that Ms McNair is still singing classically. I would have loved to see her as the Dutchess!

[67lawliet]

she looks like shes yawning most of the time. I understand the classical voice requires an open mouth but it just looks strange. nice voice tho

[AgnesRegina]

Glorious. Is there ANYTHING this woman can't sing?! I saw her not a month ago as the Duchess of Krakentorp in "The Daughter of the Regiment" and she sang "I'm tone-deaf," which is fiendishly difficult. It was amazing. I love you Sylvia!!

[mrstotty84]

WHY, why would someone dislike this??!!

[DabAndrew]

@somewiseguy84 I did , and it was, lol

[Alex79bcn]

Very beautiful voice. I'm studying the piano part and is a model to pursue too.
