The path of learning*

3 Videos that i watch daily before i go to sleep everyday.

Mainly they are the 3 songs nessun dorma, ave maria, and time to say goodbye haha.

Sung by, jose carreras, luciano parvarotti, placido domingo (the 3 tenors), andrea bocelli and sarah brightman.

Thanks to these 3 videos i have been able to learn much on the aspect on classical singing haha. The sound they produce is very eh, fat, rich, mature and vibrato kind. Hmmm, maybe because they are for solo singing. In a choir i guess its different, cause every voice has to blend in so no one can always over sing i guess.

But then again for the overall choir sound to sound gd, the individual singers must be gd first.
Its really interesting what i can learn from them just by hearing, trying to mimic the sound, and observing their body movements. The dropping of jaz, etc, etc haha.

Zzzzzz hope one day i might be able to sound like them!!

The sound is extremely pure but different according to them. Hmmm..howhow??

When he sings the high b flat, he really opens his mouth, not a very wide sideways sound but a very full sound. It sounds extremely heavy yet its not flat. Hmm...it helps that he has a fat body lar, but his throat is really really open. Gd stuff. Haha.

When he sings a very high note for a baritone, he doesnt sound young and strangled, haha he can have vibrato for his high notes leh, awesome stuff!! Hmmm..anoher example of dropping jaw and opening of the throat. Also the lifting of the eyebrows. Interesting sound produced i ll say, its v high yet supported and clear.

Whenall 3 tenors sing the high b flat. It sounds v v mature. Hhahah hopefully one day (soon!!!!!!) i ll be able to use natural voice to sing it. Really amazing man...Once again the dropping of the jaw, and the full support of the diaphragm. Hmm, jose tip toes haha, maybe its some method of reaching it better.

But Luciano stil sounds the best haha. Well hes the fattest of the lot isnt he? Hahaha.

Ahhhh the transition from a chest voice to a high note, drop jaw, raise eye brows, increasing the space in ur upper pellet. Damn gd technique...shall try all these in toilet later haha.

I guess like classical singing is v different form pop, rock, jazz, blues. iTs us a pure sound with no slides in it i guess...oh and some vibrato too. Hahha yup, anyway hope one day i can sound like them haha.

Zzzz need to go dl videos of basses singing.
