AT THE BALLET "RHYTHM PERFECT" - Heath Saunders
in which i maybe have a minor mental breakdown
and attempt to sing a popular song "EXACTLY" AS "TRANSCRIBED"
look, the fact is i have no friends who i feel i can exploit in the way i would have needed to exploit them for this VERY SPECIFIC TASK of singing a trio with me.
also, like 6 hours of editing went into making that Mortal Kombat character select screen, so y'all better appreciate.
do not sue me, as i don't own any of the music here, except the background music that i produced.
special thanks to Shelley Duvall.

in which i try to convince myself that i'm not on drugs and attempt to sing a popular song "EXACTLY" AS "TRANSCRIBED" this week, i finally admit to myself that i'm going to have to do things every two weeks instead of every week, because the amount of work i put into this vlog is insane and i have too many other things to do. i also learned that i shocker really enjoy the score to Annie? i dunn...

in which i try and redeem myself for last week’s video and attempt to sing a popular song “EXACTLY” as “TRANSCRIBED” this week, i’m tuning in from a hotel room in saratoga springs and i did not have access to a piano so i couldn’t make my own piano track. fortunately, there are many extraordinary artists on youtube, including one Ethan J. Miller, who, using Jason Robert Brown’s accompaniment tr...

in which i attempt to say something profound about backphrasing and try to sing a popular song "EXACTLY" as "TRANSCRIBED" in case you don't get this from this video, i am head over heels in love with ellen greene's iconic performance as audrey in little shop of horrors. it is so nuanced and so perfect and so delicious, and i hope that she understands that this is a LOVING HOMAGE to the magical ...

in which i try to stay on topic and talk about phrasing and breath and sing a popular song "EXACTLY" AS "TRANSCRIBED" so turns out "somewhere over the rainbow" is really very literally hard to sing and i don't think i do it very well, but i give it the ol' college try.* *make a strong effort to remember all the things i learned about breath support in college, and yet fail anyway anyway, judy g...
BEING ALIVE "RHYTHM PERFECT" - Heath Saunders

in which i do a fake tedtalk about stephen sondheim and attempt to sing a popular song "EXACTLY" as "TRANSCRIBED" in the case of Being Alive, the original broadway cast performance by Dean Jones is actually rhythmically extremely accurate but basically every version that's been done since then takes some liberties with the written rhythms. (i'm looking at you, Raul.) here's me trying to perform...

in which i try (fail) to teach an intro to shakespeare lesson and sing a popular song “EXACTLY” AS “TRANSCRIBED” the difference here between the song as you know it and the written music is...deeply unsubtle, assuming the version of the song you know is the iconic performance by Barbra Streisand. (spoiler alert: the version of the song you know is the iconic performance by Barbra Streisand.) sh...

in which i try to define “written music” (unsuccessful) and sing a popular song “EXACTLY” as “TRANSCRIBED” (successful?) learning Corner of the Sky (Pippin) exactly as it was transcribed was a big challenge this week, given the song is...ingrained in my body. fun things to look out for: the three choruses are written with subtle rhythmic differences, my herculean attempt to make “thunderclouds ...

in which i explain an odd (good) review and sing a popular song “EXACTLY” AS “TRANSCRIBED” the difference here between the song as you know it and the music might be super subtle, or maybe it’s super rigid feeling and obvious to you! maybe next time i’ll try for something more extreme. the words of the review are chris jones from the chicago tribune. thanks for the kindness :) i don’t own any o...

Lame
Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤
I love the energy and passion like it should be done, but you aren't using the right technique to nail those high notes, unless you are intentionally trying to shred your voice and pass out. I find it surprising you did a run in Chicago based on this video, so maybe this was just an off night.
I have seen every Heath Saunders video on the internet
You get a virtual high 5 for that! I didn't know it was possible for a male to pull that song off. Bravo. I am no vocalist by any means, but I think I cracked the code on the "feels like something is missing" effect from every rendition. However, not being a singer I haven't been able to test my theory but am sharing since you are obviously an E.G. fan as well. On the clean "S"'s if you make your tongue feel like it is too big for your mouth, and move the lispy "S"s back further to the middle of your tongue instead of the tip, Almost like she is firmly pushing the tip of her tongue against her bottom teeth the entire time she is in the nasal "cutesy" voice. If this analysis is correct please let me know. Once again, good job. The other banter in the video was entertaining as well, thumbs up.
You were fabulous in the Lyric production! Thank you! ❤️
Oh my god the jazzy bg music is “On My Own” you are soooo clever!!!!!
Slowly working my way through all the Heath Saunders content on the internet
“I…am…a…dumbass, I should’ve realized that before” was *so* cute! 💖
Did this RUclips video just seduce me
huge dislike.
Absolutely stunning!!! One of my favourite versions
theatre nerd D:
ok but what the fuck how do you sing so high and sound so c l e a n brother help me out here
wait was the first one always gotta find THE corner of the sky, not my? cause that's :O
Wow... Bravo
This is just to say, everyone should know the seventies Motown booty-jam version of this song by The Manhattans. It sounds so natural that you'd almost assume the song was written that way.
3:48 brought tears to my eyes..what a performance
this was so good ☺️
Excellent version! Well done!
im in love with one man
Huh! The original "sit" instead of "fit" actually kinda makes a bit more sense I think
Damn I really just got diagnosed with Theatre Nerd Disorder...
Omg was that a calypso version of At The Ballet in the background
HEATHCLIFF! DID YOU NOT EVEN HAVE THE BED MADE UP?
I am loving these videos! Bravo! *Just watch the "I've" versus "I" in this song. ;)
Nice Heath - neat video work interplay in the middle section. And of course, fantastic singing.
hearing you sing Recit De Cassard from The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg would be a salve in this otherwise fucking dreary year also, i'm sure there's stuff to talk about - recitative, translation, musical theatre vs operetta, the version sinatra did as Watch What Happens that lyrically ignores the wistfulness of the music
4:38 had me shook
I love that lounge style Gimme Gimme underscoring 💃
Ok but as a fellow notation nerd (there are literally dozens of us) I’m fascinated by swing-related notation and so this hit just the right spot! My favorite unicorns are composers who notate swung stuff in 12/8, i.e. Sue Bardsley.
Hahaha this is great!
That was so much fun! So happy to learn from such a wonderful teacher! Thank you for your insight!
Even if it didnt sound noticeably different, totally worth it to hear you sing this song!
Wow, honestly shocked that the Murray Head turns on “yes” and “no” in the first verse aren’t written in the score! That’s such an ingrained part of the song to me. Excellent singing btw!
This said "scream belted" but it sounded so healthily mixed! Also was surprised by a lot of the 'as-written' rhythm as someone who's listened to a lot of covers of this song, so mission success on your part!
I’d love to hear “Something’s Coming” or some other Bernstein!
I think you are delightful!
Hi Heath! My name is Katie- and I am a fellow actor who has been hustling for work to fill my time as the extension of Broadway looms further and further away. I have taken now to teaching Music Theory lessons for fellow actors and students at the University I graduated at to help increase a love and understanding for the language of music. Your videos have always made my week and now they will make my students weeks as I use your videos as examples of specific terms and especially when working with the hardest part to teach actors- RHYTHM! Although I am sad you are going to once every two weeks- I will always keep the song in mind "You're only a day away" :)
and indeed! it is nice to meet you. i'm so glad to hear that you've found my psychotic ramblings helpful and i hope your students enjoy as well :)
Best one yet! I loved the comparisons!
I did not know I needed this but now my mood has been significantly lifted. Nice to meet you Heath!
my pleasure! 🥰
Thank you Heath - that really put a smile on my face.
Oh, Heath! You made my day - today...and TOMORROW! 🤗
Brilliant!
I really enjoyed the example of BP backphrasing vs as written. As a lover of musical theater who isn't trained in it, I would love to see more side by sides! Even just of the whole "Rythmically Perfect" idea. It can be hard without a direct comparison to exactly see what's different.
Oh this is FASCINATING and BRILLIANT.
These videos are so funny and charming and lovely. I look forward to them every week.
the amount of JOY this brought me!!!! ahhh!!!
Seeing that ending makes me wonder how many takes this took.
Yeeeessss!
