What a beautiful voice Layla Claire has.
Gorgeous voice. Icon
What a treat to see two of my favorite divas, Dame Kiri and Ms. Fleming.
Was privileged to hear Miss Claire at the Grant Park Symphony this summer. She's fantastic!
He was my diction teacher for a year at MSM. LOVELY MAN!
How wonderful we can get coaching from experts like this- so helpful
Wonderful--thank you so much!
grazie .BRAVISSIMA !!!
Gracias por este video!
She wasn't vague. She said breathe and keep your tongue down at the back. She didn't repeat it the second she said yo breathe, that's all
I get such a kick out of Kiri's recording of Nozze di Figaro with Herman Prey and Mirella Freni- Best opera recording ever! Dietrich Fisher-Dieskau as the Count and Ewing give priceless comic performances too.
MORE to come!
MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!!!! please please please!!!!!!
amazing! amazing!
it's just as "breath" AND "be happy :D"!!!!
Kiri's beautiful with a voice to match
thank you for sharing ! other viedo with kanawa's class
Great.
Without a doubt, Kiri Te Kanawa is the most beautiful soprano voice I have heard in an opera house. Recordings don't do her voice justice.
Que precioso esse tresor
👌🤩🙏..for Kiri..her "porgi amore" 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Layla is wel on her way there
good
Nice voice.
Is there more!?
open O in Italian is not an A!
@sirdelrio I agree that the "expert" wasn't spot on in his pronunciation, but there is definitely 2 Italianate O sounds-open and closed, the same goes for E vowels as well. Of course, both open and closed vowels need to be extremely pure, unlike English intermediate vowels.
where can i find the next video？
Emptying the lungs fully is good advice actually. Most singers are hyperventilating and don’t realize it.
He actually told her to say Ricardo instead of Ricordo. The same with tesoro, it's not tesaro, god dammit. She was actually doing it right. Never trust an english language native to teach you a romance language.
This is a horrible singing lesson from beginning to end. The Italian O is closer to an AW sound.
I like the lack of gimmicks. Breathe, smile, sing.
A superb teacher with a gorgeous voice. Notice she NEVER mentions keeping the larynx low and immovable and she talks about smiling. The OLD school way.
Спасибо дорогая!!!!Надо возрождать старую вокальную школу
Lol watch a video of any "old school" singer up close and you will see the larynx is in a lowered position. The lowered larynx elongates the pharynx and creates a bellowing, rich, and dark sound. I might add that lowering the larynx via depressing with the tongue (alla Kaufmann) is counterintuitive and harmful. It creates a dark sound that is throaty and muffled to a degree. Most teachers that advocate against lowering the larynx will use this one-sided point to support their argument. To lower the larynx correctly and maintain the balance in the voice takes tremendous muscle coordination and IS a pinnacle of the old school way.
jacob lahr I totally agree at last someone said it keeping the tongue flat makes the base of the tongue curl up and block the back of the throat, hence the throaty cavernous sound it produces
Old school singers would NEVER smile. That's like one of the three basic cardinal rules of the old school. Also, they would never vocalise on an M since that just makes the note small and nasal. This is a total shipwreck.
pobre laringe esa niña1
It how you sing it, not how you speak the vowel. Soprano's would die if they didnt modify vowels.
hobo1975 lol this is as vague as you can be! she says to keep it simple, but to breath and sing has little meaning
It has meaning to the experienced singer she is helping.
soccorso .
Che cagata hanno detto sulla lingua itsliana hahahahaha … tesAro 😀
he pronounced 'ricordo' as 'ricardo', terrible.
The diction teacher is AWFUL. An O is an O, an A is an A.
no wonder singers sound funny in italian: ricordo, ha! no! it is as you did it first, mister expert. With an O, flat O, no intermediate sounds as in your native language.
Kiri was a truly wonderful, world-class singer and artist, however, this is very questionable teaching.
"Whenever in doubt, just smile"
"When you breathe in, just push that tongue down in the back"
I'm sorry, but, those two comments alone are in total violation of the tenets of voice science and classical voice pedagogy.
Agree. Meowing doesn't help to build the voice :-)
I caught that as well
I know! This is horrible. Creating a small nasal voice supported be tensions. 🤦🏻♂️
The smile is to encourage the mouth shape and sound for good pronunciation. If the suggestion and the reaction from student are hey that's so much easier (as in the video) , whos to say it's bad.
There is so much wrong in this video... on the other hand, Te Kanawa was never a good singer.
Opposite to you, right? 😂😂😂
Just stop this pathetic baying below every video on yt with people far more talented and successful than you, it gets boring 🙄
