      Tara: you truly make great and expert reactions to singers. I heard you one time comment on duets with same registered singers and made me wonder who can best have a duet with Lea. A 'concert from home' during the early parts of the pandemic showcased a Broadway medley between Lea Salonga and Regine Velasquez. Might you consider reviewing it (ruclips.net/video/CiQS0hgrURk/видео.html)? Thanks for considering.

    Lea is such a vocal coach favorite. She is very technical in every sense of the word yet so emotive and a very capable singer.
    also a prime example of vocal preservation. At her age she is still singing with finesse although her vocal quality changed obviously, her technique is pretty much in tact.

      Learning how to hold your breath is common in singling lessons. Honestly, 25 seconds isn't even a crazy amount of time for holding your breath--it's just long if you're also singing, and thus letting air out the entire time.
      I got up to like 45 seconds, yet I could only hold out a note for like 15 before it became a mess.

    Glad you brought the mix thing up, as it is so important to singers.

    I'm now interested to hear your reaction to a Musical film Version of the Phantom of The Opera - Past The Point of No Return with Emmy Rossum playing the part of Christine.

      @Happines With less S nah, Lea didn’t really have mamba mentality. She was faced with the critical judgment of being a woman of color in general. Producers in Broadway wouldn’t accept her just for her being Asian, and the audience, because of the general bias for a white person rather than a person of color, would’ve picked her to death and declared her incapable of singing on the big stage if she made a single mistake. So Lea made sure to never make a single mistake. She made sure there would be purely no reason for them to say these things, no reason to say she’s not good, no reason to say that she’s not fit for the part. And the crazy thing is she wasn’t doing it to compete with others. She was doing it to survive and live her dream as a Broadway singer.

    Besides all her vocal excellence, I noticed perfect breathing technique with NO gasping or unnecessary breath noise. She started each phrase with slow breath intake using the available time and then set her abs/diaphragm so as to start with no breath sound. This enabled her to carry over that last phrase with ease. You are right, Tara. It was as close to perfect as can be done! Thanks for your technical discernment and clear and concise analysis!

    Hello Tara! I'm a highly trained lyric baritone. Because of neck damage and deterioration I have to take nerve meds, which affect my vocal control, so I'm not able to sing anymore, which makes my wife extremely sad (she's a fantastic cellist). But, I understand pure Bel Canto practical application in the real world, and how it applies to any kind of singing (except maybe rap), and frankly, you're one of the best at describing its techniques. Thank you for your expertise, and more, that you share it openly.
    It's a rare person who shares their knowledge. I do so recognize others who do. And one thing I've found is those who are truly gifted typically are the most eager to share.
    And I concur on the ending. Perfect presentation, consistency, and focus. Wow!
