    Hey guys! It's been a moment.. Back in February my channel got hit with demonetization, and it affected me greatly. Especially because I spend hours and hours editing, not counting the "research" time. I re-applied for the YPT, but I knew that that was it for my channel. I tried to stay "lowkey" as much as possible but a few days ago I received a mail that told me I did not met the requirements. I have a few ideas still that I want to try to execute, but it's really time consuming. If you can me help me with anything I'll appreciate it very deeply. I created a Patreon and a PayPal account so it can be more simple. Thank so much!

    4:34 No, we need to talk about this one. See, that note was not part of the original recording, Jeremy threw that in. This rehearsal was so energetic and fun that everyone was going crazy and adding their own stuff to the song, making it so much more beautiful. And Jeremy... he didn't need to add that note, which meant he didn't practice it or anything. You can tell he felt that note in his heart, and he let it loose.

      Jordyn Chené Harper-Morris Oh really??? OBSERVE THE EVIDENCE:
      EXHIBIT A: His high notes. The comparison of Ben Platt, Jeremy Jordan, and Corey Cott singing the climax of Maria show that JJ and CC keep the tenor fullness to their voice, Ben’s gets pencil thin and is “pushed forward” through the mask, the way a baritone’s mixed voice does.
      I have a hypothesis that Ben’s signature hyperspeed vibrato is actually a side effect of being a baritone, the vibrato is needed to ease the tension in his vocal cords when he wants to bring more resonance into his voice, but that’s an academic essay for another time.
      EXHIBIT B: Ben’s low notes, the most compelling evidence.
      Let’s continue on the train of having Jeremy Jordan be the example of the Quintessential Tenor. JJ’s voice starts to lose fullness at C below middle (C3), to the point where he’s uncomfortable singing live below an A2 (half a step below the lowest note in Waving Through a Window).
      Ben Platt on the other hand, HOO BOI. Fully voiced F2 in his first hot tub video with his brother and a gorgeous F#2 on the ending of New on his album Sing to Me Instead (this is the low note that Javert hits during The Confrontation, or if you prefer, lower than Audrey 2 ever sings during the entirety of Little Shop of Horrors). Not even a hint of vocal fry or artificial darkening. It does take effort, but like I said, he’s a baritone, not a bass.
      Exhibit C: Ben’s speaking voice, a controversial choice to look at in the world of vocal classification, but the absolute smoking gun if you know what to look for.
      Mandy Patinkin famously has a speaking voice that is incredibly huskier and deeper than his light lyric tenor singing voice, but if you listen closely, Patinkin tends to drop off into breathiness and fry the deepest sections of his speaking voice.
      On the other hand, Ben Platt speaks softly and entirely in his nasal resonance, a side effect of his extensive vocal training. Soft and nasal is the recipe for high notes in a tenor, so you’d expect his voice to be sitting pretty solid in the tenor comfortable range, right??? WRONG, Ben Platt’s speaking voice sits around G2-B2, smack dab in baritone territory, with absolutely ZERO vocal fry and a high larynx. Checkmate, atheists.
      CONCLUSION: Ben Platt is an extremely well trained baritone with an incredibly developed singing voice that is the result of the highest caliber of vocal coaches, a lifetime of experience, and God-given talent. Or you could just call him a baritenor and stop caring lol.
      Be safe, make good choices, stay healthy, and wash your hands! 💛

First of Ramin Karimloo's is Beauty Underneath from Love Never Dies and second is Confrontation from Les Mis. Those your marked as Gethsemane are right.
