"Chicago" veteran Ryan Lowe joins Seth with a performance of an unusual duet-made-for-one from "The Phantom of the Opera" and displays his unique talent for reaching the high notes that mere mortal men (and even women!) can only dream of.
It's so weird how he doesn't just hit the notes but his voice changes and he actually sounds like a woman.
~:~
this depresses me because a man can hit such high notes and i cant omfg
That Raoul turn got me
The Phantom Of The Opera key change thing between Carlotta and Christine ALWAYS got me too!
Here after seeing him in Chicago. What I wouldn't give to relive the moment in "razzle dazzle" over and over again.
I just saw the show tonight and came here. Blew my mind!!! This video is still blowing my mind.
People believe me because I hang out with musicians who know, but I agree with Seth. It drives me crazy!!! The conductor had never heard her sing before and yet he AND the entire orchestra magically knew to transpose it? Sketchy...
Don't the orchestra only join in when it becomes the actual performance though?
Beautiful high baritone and very lovely countertenor. So much entertainment to see this spin on this duet.
He's very obviously not a baritone.
@@KajiVocals how do you know he's obviously not a baritone?
JmeaHD His chest voice timbre, the way he sings, his lower notes, his tessitura in general points to a tenor and I can hear his acoustic shifts around the same place where a tenor would have them. Baritones have way richer voices.
@@KajiVocals can confirm, I am a baritone and my voice is soooooo rich, it's soooo thick like the tip of my dck
This guy is majorly talented
He doesn't have that counter-tenor color in his sound, even the timbre is of a perfect soprano. And the control, the coloraturas, the crescendos and decrescendos... Wow.
i got to see/hear him in chicago over the summer. OMG! this guy is frickin awesome!
Just saw him in Chicago on Broadway. Astonishing! And what's here is even more so. Awesome that he can literally play both parts in the Phantom. Super talented and glad I had the pleasure of seeing him live.
I'm a really low alto, and I always sang (and still sing) male solo's for auditions. Kinda jealous of this man and his beautiful voice
As a male singer, I can tell you that with a lot of practise, this crazy high, dramatic extension is totally achievable. It's tough, but you just gotta go for it.
contemporary countertenor
Definitely!! Once you figure out how to hit notes, it’s like riding a bike!!
*cries in bass*
Can a regular tenor achieve it? What's the best place to start?
That was the best thing I have ever seen from a broadway actor. my god that was amazing!!
I have just seen Ryan recently as Mary Sunshine in Chicago (New York, 2024). He was amazing!
That? Was completely mind blowing!!! I am so impressed and SHOCKED. Yay!!! Bravo/a!
Absolutely phenomenal!
Castrati roles are now often sung by a Countertenor or a Mezzo-Soprano/Contralto. Search for Philippe Jarrousky or Xavier Sabata.
His voice is amazing! And he recently celebrated his 18th year of playing Mary Sunshine! At the risk of being that person, I think he's not a sopranista, but rather he is a mezzista. He has a sweet, warm timbre and the way that he trills is more indicative of a mezzo. Also, he says that he has to push to reach a high C, and a sopranista shouldn't have to push. For an example of a sopranista, look up Alan Richardson.
This is a real thing and it is almost like a head voice but much much stronger and powerful. I know because I am one lol I tried singing an opera song and it came out not in a falsetto but a strong high voice if that makes sense. It takes a lot of breath and I'm nowhere near this guy but it's real!!!!
Cole Chase-Beach I also can do the same thing
Leggiero Tenor. Male equivalent of the Coloratura Soprano.
Aria*
Highly developed falsetto?
Brava/o!!!!
YUUUSSSS!! Thank you for addressing the POTO transposition! And it doesn't need much more than a sassy eyeroll or judgey stare. But ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!!
He is my dads good friend and I met him backstage of Chicago on Broadway (he has been Mary sunshine for 15 years) he is so funny and awesome
I am impressed with his voice. Bravo
My reaction to this performance:
Whoa. Wow. OH MY GOSH. HOLY HECK. GOLLY GOSH DARN. Wow.
He has a beautiful higher voice! I prefer it over his lower register! Awesome singer!
Absolutely astonishing!
10/10 would *TOTALLY* go see him as Christine.
OMG...and the tone is so PURE amazing voice amazing voice!!!
Anyone else gets chills over their whole body?
Whoa, even after hearing them talk about his unusually high voice I was amazed when that came out. Totally amazing.
Just saw him in Chicago last night. My God what a talent.
OMG he is amazing!
actually just to make it clear, the only time the vocal folds aren't ripple-waving is when air is blown past them without any closing muscles being engaged. The falsetto position is actually when the cricothyroid muscle is engaged solely, making the folds at their most taut position, thus creating a "less-full" sound. Counter-tenors sing with a longer vocal-fold position but with increased mass and subglottal pressure to supply body and core to the sound. I just needed to clear that up.
WOW! Truly amazing!
It's called Countertenor
He's talking about musical theatre terms smarty
primohomme Nah, he's probably a tenor with a high extension. It IS vaguely Wagnerian, though...
Yeah Countertenors don't typically have such a dark voice quality up in that octave, it sounds like an alto with an upper extension by pure sound colour alone, but seeing that this is someone with bushes and a tree, I'd say male soprano
He worked very hard with a phenomenal opera teacher to get that. I've known him forever.
contralto?
Made my day.
Brilliant! That is so much fun. And pretty! Applause from me.
yes, I agree with you the vocal chords produce the sound (it can only be produced by them) i never said they didn't, what I meant is that when sounds are produced in falsetto they aren't as full, rich or resonant as when produced when the chords are vibrating, in falsetto the chords are more relaxed, the chords don't vibrate they produce the sound differently, whit less air pressure, that's why falsetto sounds thiner and more fragile, and is not the case of Ryan Lowe he is a countertenor.
What!? How....? I was waiting for a woman to come out from behind the curtain!
Sigh... I think I am in love. I wonder if Ryan knows my friend Varla Jean Merman?
Bravo!!!! Beautiful voice!!!
those note was fucking huge.
My bro at his best. Proud of u bro! :-)
Wow ❤️
absolutely amazing.
I'm amazed they don't know the term countertenor. Just saw Chanticleer last week. They categorize their (6 of 12 singers) countertenors into alto and soprano.
3:12 I knew that, yet nobody believed me!! Thank you so much!
Crazy good talent
I think I'm in love....
Ryan is so great at counter tenor. So cute
HOLY SHIT THIS MAN IS TALENTED AF
HOLY CRAP
I wasn’t readyyyyyyy Lmaoooo
That was amazing!
He is singing in a high head voice, but technically it isn't falsetto, that's way you can hear it different, because his vocal chords are actually vibrating which doesn't happen when singing in falsetto register.
AHMAZING.
oh my god is this real
W H A T
unbelievable
@mradaChris i'm a countertenor. my falsetto is full, but it's that... falsetto. i can do the same note in plain voice and it has been proven scientifically that the vibration of the chords is different (not the whole chords are engaged). where you place the resonance is another story, but until you show me a guy, untouched, with an endoscope showing he's using full voice on soprano notes, it is *falsetto*. girls using head voice have the whole chords vibrating. period...
The actual term for "Male soprano" is Countertenor
Oh my goodness.
Really good
How long has he been in Chicago now? He’s still in it right?!
I met him. What the heck. I met him?! He's amazing.
@eustazio Nick Pitera is one of my favorites!
Best Christine!
He's still in Chicago. Is his role as Mary Sunshine a record or something??!
It’s so weird the tempo it’s bad but he’s such a good singer.
He could be very good doing Handel's Gulio Cesare
@eustazio I think falsetto is too negative a term to use to describe Ryan's higher voice. I like what puccinilover used, "head" voice. There is nothing false about Ryan's voice and it is full sounding too. Most people use "falsetto" because they base it on the note being sung (e.g. it has to be falsetto because it is too high for a male). I'd suggest in using scientific methods to ascertain whether it is falsetto or not.
LOVE.
omg!
High male voices are often called counter tenors :)
Im not alone! I can do this
He and Nick Pitera have to do a video collab!
Soprano in the form of the show. If you see him in Chicago you'll know that it's soprano.
FUCK ME!!!!!!! THAT was AMAZING!!!!!!
My goodness! For a moment I was certain he was lip syncing! This is impressive!
Jimmy Sommerville's voice is falsetto, too.
Its called countertenor, I know because I am one. Handel, Mozart, and several other composers have written many operas for Men with voices as such.
oh..shit..
my god seth if you don't know about countertenors, believe me you will have lots of new obssessions when you start youtubing them!
#countertenor ❤❤
@eustazio Well I think that women and men make the same vocal productions regardless. So there would be a falsetto for women and head voice for men. Vocals are only different in length. I think using scientific methods is the way to go. I have yet to find an adequate video showing the difference between a falsetto voice and a non-falsetto voice. I'd love to hear your full falsetto voice and analyze it with a spectral analyzer.
at 5:38, I think my glass window cracked....
It is like drinking clear pepsi
He’s got a cute laugh
Alright, that's just freaky
I'm not really certain about the mechanics of falsetto, but if a falsetto singer's vocal chords aren't vibrating, then what exactly makes the pitch??? The mouth, the nose, the throat? Ridiculous the vocal chords are the only things that can make pitches. Without them, the falsetto would be a whisper, which is all air, no pitch. But there are pitches with falsetto, obviously.
Its called a counter-tenor
He's adorable, but it's so wrong to have both those arms and THAT voice.
I'm pretty sure that if all persons to comment on this video thus far commented without a mind-set involving self-obsession with their own flawed intelligence on the subject of the male voice.... There would be zero comments on this video...
@spazzylunchbox Nick Pitera puts Nick Pitera to shame.
I thought he was lip syncing for half a second. Woah!
This is absolutely ridiculous.
HOLLERING!
@RyanBernier93 not true. most countertenors use falsetto, and when i say most it's all of them but the one who are endocrinal castrati or lying for self promotion!
Yeah...no offense...it's definitely an exaggeration to say "most guys" can, eventually, hit these notes. Some, maybe, and that might still be a stretch.
Is not soprano
