    omg Laura is hilarious, this is too freakin real, this reminds me of every soprano in my voice program who gets tasked to sing a musical theatre piece and doesn't know how to act, or gets another classical aria that they can probably sing just fine but they cAN'T ACT ughhh drives me cra-zazy! (as Seth would say)

      +Jordan Nickel-Dubin lol to be clear, i love her (in a "you're a little cringey sometimes but i feel it" way) and i do think she's got a lovely instrument. but oh my god, so much with the oversinging! and she's the worst offender when it comes to shitty british accents - every time i watch the phantom dvd and she goes, "when you WEHHHHNT EENTO THA SEEEEA TOOOO FEHTCH MY SCAAAAAHF" i CAN'T, i just, i just _can't_.

  • @johnmmn2
    @johnmmn2 12 лет назад +4

    If you play the piano I believe it's essentially the same thing as rubato. It's a stylistic thing where you intentionally either sing certain notes before or after the beat (ie. for different time values than they were written).

    @OscarMoeRuffus It's when a singer sings behind the beat of the music. When used properly it sounds dramatic and soulful, when used inappropriately it sounds like a big, ugly mess and ruins the line of the music.

    Yeah, thank you so much! I love musical theatre! Like for me, I think it's because i come from the choir background, you know that My teachers and everybody tells me that I'm just singing and I'm like... what do you mean? and they're like acting? I used to think if you go in and sing and wail and belt these crazy insane high notes, that's how you book it, and that's how you get the job. I'm 20, it took me this year to realize it's all the acting. how can you make it you? No one really showed me

    Musical Theatre is different from let's say Opera in the fact that you can take more liberty with the music. Now, that doesn't mean you don't have to sing what's written, but there are moments when you should take liberty and fill it with an acting beat. Or sometimes you are so caught up in the song and in the acting of the song that you naturally take liberties in the acting and even how the song is written. Does that make sense?

    What do you mean behind the beat? Do you mean that the voice is softer than the beat or that she's singing off pace with the beat? I'm curious about what back phrasing is, too.

    @soopersalad2509 6 лет назад +7

    also i hate when back phrasing is bad it's like they can't reach the high notes quickly enough so they take a long time to reach it OR they sing it really fast so it sounds chirpy and it ruins the rhythm of the song ugh. i also hate scooping lol but laura scoops in the She Loves Me recording.
