Hi! I've been working on this for the past 2 weeks plus the time to properly research for the clips and everything so sorry for not being so active. I like how this turned out, I'm proud of it. I'm planning to do one for belting (women). I have most of the notes, but now it's just editing + downloading the clips and that one is going to take a while, in other words I'm exhausted already! Haha (I appreciate suggestioms thanks lol) 06:00 Glinda's make some noise
Gah, I love someone who can do both soprano and belt like nobody's business. I'm seeing Solea Pfeiffer in concert tomorrow night and I feel like she fits that definition perfectly, as do Phillipa Soo, Jessie Mueller, and Christy Altomare.
Yesss!!! Gonna add rachel zegler, abby mueller, shoshana bean and laura osnes. They're all so incredible, it's not easy to be able to master two completely different vocal styles
So does Megan Hilty. She originally auditioned for Elphaba a few times before eventually getting called back for Glinda. Up until then she had really only ever played belting roles.
Kristin Chenoweth along with Madeline Kahn are my favourite theatre sopranos of all time. Perfect technique and wonderful stage presence. Extremely projected in all registers too - which is very impressive considering they are both very small-sized (in terms of vocal fach) sopranos.
Kristin is from my hometown in Oklahoma 🤷🏽♀️. She has verifiable credentials unlike fake pedagogy Dr’s 🤣🤷🏽♀️. All you can do is send exerts from old books, you have no credentials and no credibility 🤷🏽♀️. I know how to change diapers, I’m a mother and grandmother 🤷🏽♀️. Hope no one gets offended by this 🤣🤷🏽♀️🍼
I've managed to make some kind of sound that my pitch monitoring app claimed was a C6. But it rather put one in mind of a strangling goose to be honest. Get me below G4, though, and there's no stopping me.
Those last notes from Divine Brown were just gorgeous. Often when people sing incredibly high it tends to not sound that nice, but oh my goodness that was beyond beautiful!
I don’t really know a lot of these of women but they are all so amazing! Divine brown shut this ish down with the last octave jump from head voice to whistle register and that gorgeous staccato 🤤
I love vocal comparison videos, but sometimes they’re so difficult to watch and enjoy as the editing is really jarring and all over the place. But this was a complete pleasure from start to finish! And with the tiny bit of comedy mixed in, was just the cherry on top! Well done and thank you! 😊♥️
Check out her ‘No Questions’ and ‘One Long Last Look’. Her best ever singing, and live. Perfect BELTING and head voice. Her voice is crystal clear there, projected and beautiful. She doesn’t have that aspirate quality she often had there either. Vowels are clear and undistorted.
I got so excited for the second part of Linda Eders whistle tone, I’m obsessed with that performance. Wish we’d had some more young Julie notes though!
@@takemyhand1988 Oh. But she still sounds like a light lyric coloratura soprano to me. But hey, as singers progress further their voice can develop. So she maybe could be a lyric coloratura soprano due to maturing of the voice
I think it’s possible for people to learn how to sing, but it depends on the natural voice you have. People who are able to not only reach the 6th and 7th registries but do so without too much strain have a special gift sent from God. My ears have been blessed after listening to this video 🥰✨
This is so amazing, I have so much respect for all these women, but especially the ones who have mastered both belting and floaty legit soprano stuff. Go watch Abby Muellers three dreams roles video if you want an example lol.
omg i love this so much!! idk if you'll make a part 2 but phillipa soo has some rlly good high notes, in the amelie bootleg at 53:31 she goes up to an e5 and then g5 hehe :D
It always amazes me when a singer can do both. I think Solea Pfeiffer, Phillipa Soo, Jessie Mueller, and Christy Altomare are particularly good at having that super wide range.
This was quite impressive, how you found, identified and edited together all these high notes! That being said, I have to be That Guy and mention a few places I think were a little off: 0:43 Liz Calloway's note here is a C5, not a C#5 2:50 Shanice William's first held note is a D#5, then her second moves up to the F5 you have labeled 6:40 This one's a bit more debatable, but based on the key signature as well as how the note was sung I'd pin Donna Murphy at an Aflat5 rather than an A5 Still, overall this was great and I very much enjoyed it, thanks for making it!
Man, I miss my Eb6 and above 😭 Something happened to my voice 2 and a half years ago and it’s still a mystery as to what happened, because while I gained SOME of that extension back, even that isn’t as comfortable and clean as it used to be and I can’t sing up there for too long or I’ll blow out my voice for the rest of the day…I HATE IT
@@ian1856 I would agree more wholly with this, except it happened pretty suddenly at the time…I was dealing with the worst cycle of insomnia I’d ever had so rarely had a voice to use at all that summer thanks to a severe lack of sleep. So when the insomnia finally calmed down again, I figured I should take it slow getting back on the vocal horse so to speak. Sadly it was gone and never came back in its fullness, and I’d never really had trouble with that stratosphere before that. Not that I disagree with you per se, I slightly tend to sing from my throat anyway, so I’m constantly reminding myself to breath from the good ol’ diaphragm and even after all that work since then, getting that extension back is at a standstill and still feel vocal fatigue when I sing classical soprano for too long, WOOF. I can only surmise my voice just…shifted. But I always accept any and all advice :):)
I hear you. Mine did the same thing. But now because of I have this psychological block on anything above a F#5. I can sing it just fine until I’m looking at the music. So I know the notes are still there (at least some of them) but my head doesn’t think they are.
I lowered the key to all Glinda high notes, now i can play Glinda by hitting some G5s! Also I realized me and Erika Henningsen(the queen herself) are both mezzos! Cool
@@ryandavidzuidema A lot of them are natural baritones. I’ve studied a fair lot of barbershop and gospel quartet basses and TRUE basses are one in a 100. That field is full of baritones who sing bass.
@@KajiVocalsUsing “fachs” as a way of identifying singers of a different genre may seem a bit unnecessary. The classical voice type rubric is already incredibly nuanced in the way that it can be used to classify a person’s tessitura. What I believe the original commenter was explaining is that, even though it’s a bit harder to hear certain individuals singing a bass part, it doesn’t mean they aren’t singing it. They may not have the range or projection to sing it at a level that is relatively easier to reach for a Bass or Basso Profundo or even an Oktavist by Classical Standard, but they’re still singing it. Of course, music is an art, so every opinion on it is ultimately subjective, even ranges, but I hope I understood you and that you were able to understand where I’m coming from!
High is relative. For the most part high would indeed be past the primo passaggio in modal voice, and then past the second bridge (B4-C#5) in head voice. For sopranos at least.
That B6 is not head voice. Flageolet. The highest head note recorded (overall by any singer) that I know of is a Bb6 by Chrylyn Bell-Myers and she has an abormally high voice. If you listen to her Bb6 and compare it to Shoshana's B6 you'll hear a difference.
i wish it was a fire alarm tone if it was then i would absolutely laugh my head off and it would be so funny for me and pretty princess holly would laugh her with me when the fire alarm goes off at my school it would very funny to hear it go off it would hilarious and I would go ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha when the fire alarm goes off it would be so funny that I would just keep laughing and laughing so funny that I could be standing there laughing at the school car park laughing at the fire alarm going off with the high Note sound 😍

as an opera fan it's interesting to hear the differences and similarities in technique (and just music overall!) between opera and musical theatre
Kristin Chenoweth along with Madeline Kahn are my favourite theatre sopranos of all time. Perfect technique and wonderful stage presence. Extremely projected in all registers too - which is very impressive considering they are both very small-sized (in terms of vocal fach) sopranos.

Kristin was a whole trained opera singer. She studies bel canto!!! She is great despite her vocal fach
@@mat_o8975 I’m aware. She even performed La Traviata from what I’ve read before. I have a couple videos on my channel that showcase her voice.
There’s literally a clip of Madeline Kahn singing on the official page of SNL but I can’t watch it 😭
Was madeline here
Kristin Chenoweth's voice is just phenomenal
I love Lauren. She’s still hitting those notes pregnant.
The "ready sopranos" before the C's GOT MEEEE

Imagine being able to hit these notes *cries in alto*
Also, holy fuck Shoshana I didn't know she can go that high
She can go even higher she has a C#7 and a F#7

Fun to see Rachel Zegler in here! I love her voice. Everyone is so talented, makes my voice feels tired just listening!!
Christy’s C6 🥺💕 I was there at the stage door one night, and she sang Happy Birthday to three different ppl individually! Such a sweetheart!
I just love how completely effortless Kristen Chenoweth sings.
Barbara Cook's notes were all just so beautiful, feels like they were meant to come out of her
I love vocal comparison videos, but sometimes they’re so difficult to watch and enjoy as the editing is really jarring and all over the place. But this was a complete pleasure from start to finish! And with the tiny bit of comedy mixed in, was just the cherry on top! Well done and thank you! 😊♥️
Thank YOU! 💜
The fact that you included scenes from Elisabeth makes me so happy. Thank you!
I'm LIVING FOR THIS VIDEO AND THESE NOTES, but I'm APPALED by the lack of Kelli O'hara
How could I forget her!!
My thoughts exactly! We love us some Kelli!
omfg the random clip of imelda staunton sent me i love her
It's so weird when one get's mis-categorized. Here we are, going up the scale, and there's Chenowith at singing a step down all of a sudden. (9:25)
Barbara Cook...effortless, control and clarity
Check out her ‘No Questions’ and ‘One Long Last Look’. Her best ever singing, and live. Perfect BELTING and head voice. Her voice is crystal clear there, projected and beautiful. She doesn’t have that aspirate quality she often had there either. Vowels are clear and undistorted.
Agree. The quality of vibrato is absolutely amazing.
I love her but 2:05 this ain’t it 💀
I got so excited for the second part of Linda Eders whistle tone, I’m obsessed with that performance. Wish we’d had some more young Julie notes though!
Anyone you can sing C6 or higher like it's no one's business automatically earns respect in my book.
Fun fact Shoshana Bean was classical trained as a light lyric coloratura soprano.
@@takemyhand1988 umm, didn't Tyrese just mention she is a light lyric coloratura soprano. 😅
@@danielng7795 the comment to me said that she was trained as such even though her voice was not really that.

There are videos of her singing classical music on RUclips.
Makes sense , I mean her approach especially in headvoice say's it all
Did not expect to see Imelda but loved it!
Me, with a low alto range and trying to re-find my head voice: *sad eyes*
Omg you must have seen everything to put this together
I did. I need to sleep till next year lol
This video is insane! Thank you for your hard work...
Thanks for watching it, Maicon 😘
On one hand I love being an alto on the other I miss being able to hit all these notes before puberty hit.
If you are a mezzo you can still hit many of these notes
At least up to the sixth octave
Julie Andrews is an international treasure
Kristen Chenoweth is famous enough but I feel like when we talk about vocal talent in general she gets overshadowed much too often
Ikr
I should have been sleeping now but here I am, waiting for this video.
judy kuhn's Bb5 is something that can be so personal

Who knew that even belters can sound so operatic?
These are just styles! Both can be developed and perfected on the same voice. Most women are natural sopranos too so there's that.
It always amazes me when a singer can do both. I think Solea Pfeiffer, Phillipa Soo, Jessie Mueller, and Christy Altomare are particularly good at having that super wide range.
Celine Dion is great belter and she has also operatic head voice
Amber Riley is also a big belter who first trained in opera.
@@theslaytoendyourfavesSame with Laura Bell Bundy from Legally Blonde and Hairspray.
