Oh those delicious and controlled diminuendi on the high notes! Love seeing your videos - especially in these times, where the art is so hard to get. All the best from Denmark, hope you get lots of concerts in real life soon :-)
For me it's the other way around. There are enogh arias to make me wish I was a tenor and not some weird baritone-bass mix... Anyway, there are very beutiful arias for every voice type.
Thank You Maestro. What a beautiful singing and technique. I am currently learning this role for year end opera. I am currently struggling with the high F voice quality and intonation, but your singing has inspired me with some ideas.
In two weeks time, I'm performing this in a televised new years concert, and I've barely been in front of an audience since the beginning of the pandemic, and I'm freaking out, so I hope you don't mind too much, but to get going i'm just going to try to copy everything you do until I remember what being an opera singer feels like, and then I'll take it from there 😬
You have a lovely and resonant voice; however, I feel you are always going at 100%. This may suit the characters that you play, but I think you can find more control and elegance. This will be great practice for the Verdi repertoire which I am sure you will sing very soon!
He is almost certainly not a tenor. Not sure why people are saying he is. That said it’s a shame he is manipulating his voice and removing its natural maturity warmth fullness purity and beauty. It’s a shame because you can tell he is certainly trying to manufacture a mature masculine timbre, but the ironic thing about the voice is it becomes most mature when it is freed and not manipulated
he is absolutely a tenor, there is massive amounts of acoustic evidence to it not only in just his operatic singing but even has done pop singing performances sounding like any bigger tenor voice, not to mention his speaking voice is too high to be a baritone.
@@youngornitier what an absolutely generalized, one shoe fits all diagnosis. Where’s your Met debut program? Internet know it alls… I sing heavy tenor, have an extremely low speaking voice, and my second passage happens after most of the “tenor” tenor’s I know, and they all tell me they wish they had my weight up to a Bb4…do you see how arrogant and all knowing that all sounds? That’s you, bud. Back to being sarcastic for effect, but if I went off of your standards, I would only sing You’re a Mean One Mr Grinch because of my naturally lower speaking voice.
Leonard Warren could sing a high C, and he was a lower baritone than Lucas. The notes you have in the practice room have little bearing on your voice type.
@@cristovaomendoca8164 Both of which are Verdi Baritones, lol. You can't use inherently darker voices to judge what makes someone a lighter voice. This seems to be a problem unique to baritones, as you would never argue that Samuel Ramey was not a bass because his voice wasn't as dark as Frick's or Moll's. While they are all basses, they are almost two different voice types! Also your argument doesn't make sense if you have listened to more than 5 baritones. Herman Prey, Heinrich Schlusnus, Ettore Kim, and Thomas Hampson (someone many also argue is a tenor) all have higher voices that Lucas, yet all of them have had very long careers as baritones. Plus, you and I only ever heard any of these singers on recording, making all this speculation meaningless.
Beaucoup trop de force malheureusement vous avez des beaux aigus mais les fatigues et les pertes de souffle à chaque fin de phrase et la perte du tempo sont très pénibles et enlèvent beaucoup de crédibilité en ce personnage. Il n'y a pas de force à donner dans cet air, seul le texte est à déclamer et cela suffit amplement et si ceci peut vous inspirer voici un exemple chez Ernest blanc ruclips.net/video/ZQU7JkOb42Y/видео.html&ab_channel=liederoperagreats très cordialement
Нет! Не тенор! Он - лиричный баритон! Именно поэтому, его тембр немного именно немного напоминает тембр тенора, есть лирические баритоны с более теноровыми голосом!
@@魚-c3d well there is no resonance in the low. Listen to Gino Bechi, a real high baritone, who probably had the C. He has ten times the weight and power
@@魚-c3d listen to Warren, Bechi, Bastianini or even Tibett and you will seen the difference. This guy is a tenore corto, nothing wrong, but should give it a try as a tenor
Don't listen to the amateur voice teachers on this thread. Your technique is good and your sound is natural and honest.
You are REAL maestro Mr. Meachem 👏
🙏 thank you
Beautiful Maestro! Exquisite restraint and delicacy combined with a robust lower range.
Bravo, bravo, splendida voce!
Today I just wll study this aria, so I'm so surprising!!!
Bravo!!

We have plenty of great arias

Can’t wait to see you at the Met again! Hopefully in this role next time! Fantastic!

Si, senor!! Un cantante excelente.
Wonderful!
Bravo!You are the best!
Wow! Beautiful.
Wow bravo, so nice Mr Lucas...
Great voice compliments!
SO GOOD!!!! I hope to get to see you as Escamillo one day!!
Great, thank you :)
So talented
Almodóvar like Jussi bjoerling !!!!!bravo !
👏 bravo
An exceptional performance, I admire you a lot I send you hugs from Ecuador
we stan the Robert Merrill claps
Excuse me, could you make a video about how to find the right voice cover, please

Nicely done. Good low Bb for a lyric. Could use a bit more legato at the "Toredor" section. Some high "E"s a bit funky, others O.K.. high Fs are nice.

There is little bit of Ramon Vinay in your voice👍
If he had 10% of Vinay's voice, he'd be 200% louder.
You have a lovely and resonant voice; however, I feel you are always going at 100%. This may suit the characters that you play, but I think you can find more control and elegance. This will be great practice for the Verdi repertoire which I am sure you will sing very soon!
Do you offer any lessons over zoom? Also can you learn opera in English?

Mi piace di più cantata da un basso perché il baritono qui gli viene una voce da ....'papa'... Un po' come nel Don Giovanni di Mozart. Meglio in basso
Vocalità gonfiata.
Intonazione precaria.

You are a tenor though. Definitely tenor colour. Maybe baritenor.
The diminuendos shouldn't be produced by choking the sound.
