I want to thank both masters for such an incredible information. And personally thank mr Romero, if it wasn’t you sir, we wouldn’t watch any of these gems, please keep doing it invite other great tenors, share with your own experiences and so on, you can’t imagine how you’re helping us! So just wanted to say thanks!!! Thank you a lot!
Jose is an inspiration - what a triumph of perseverance! Operatic tenors are the bravest of all, the art of figuring out that high range. To me it's like a gymnast, lots of trust and bravery.
Yesterday evening I tuned in on this conversation from Maastricht/ The Netherlands. What an uplifting impact after another 'one of those days' of frustration you mentioned in your meeting here. So thankfull for that! I am not the youngest tenor here and quite sure that learning and staying learnable is absolutely required to continue functioning and delivering quality as a classical operasinger. Everything you discussed is so very much recognizable. Still experiencing obstacles and overcome them again by just hanging in, stay disciplined and kick my own butt. Other than that, as far as I am concerned, is the highlighted singing technique perfect. I couldn't agree more to every topic that came forward here. What a great inspiration you are Jose and how wonderfull to witness this conversation with one of the best, if not the best singing teachers of the moment. Jack LiVigni is a mastodon. Certainly for tenors. Thank you very much Jose, such a good job from a great tenor and a wonderful representative of this fantastic art of singing!! Today I'm going to work again with great pleasure and inspiration in the run-up to my recital concert in September. Bye!!
Such an inspiring channel, and great to hear two intelligent experts in the vocal arts enthusing about this complex field. Thank you both for putting in the time and energy to make this happen. Especially interesting to me was the "meta" discussion about what teaching is, and the role of the teacher (at the end of the video). I have found that it's frequently the case that I hear something from my teacher and don't really understand it until later - often when my developing voice "shows me" what they were talking about. It's a subtle business, and as Jack pointed out, a constantly frustrating and simultaneously rewarding journey.
There’s a lot of wisdom in this video. I’ve always LOVED the idea of the finalized voice being made of different parts all honed and brought into each other, and there generally needs to be more of this sound exploration that you two talk about in institutions! Less fear of making weird noises and more encouragement to make these noises and figure out the vocal instrument
Jose's expression reminds me of my own self - I always look with a mixture of respect, admiration and gratitude at those who help me move further in singing, solidify my knowledge, realize something etc. ☺

I'm almost on the verge of crying, because of you saying that the singer is fundamentally its own teacher. I switched lots of coaches, but they never really taught this idea of laryngeal tilt and chord closure. I heard stuff about “you don't breathe correctly”. Like what does it mean? The reason I got emotional, is you talked about this frustration that builds over the time. I experienced this enough. I as well thought to myself that I never going to control my voice the way I want to, and will never be able to sing and actually enjoy it. And now after years of going on and off I stumbled on your channel. I tried to yawn and phonate and I made the sound. The ease and relaxation... And you know what? I already made this sound before, it just never really clicked for me before. And I didn't trust my body and what I felt. I remember thinking: it cant be THAT easy, it cant sound THAT way, it’s just felt wrong. You and Jack said specifically about this: it’s frustrating and counterintuitive. But you made it clear: you have to overcome this frustration. I wish I could have this knowledge several years ago, haha. I'm getting older and probably will never be able to make a solo career. But who knows. Words cannot express how grateful I am to you and Jack. This stuff is godsend. Thank you.
If you’re a tenor, try singing a G natural in falsetto on the ‘u’ vowel and crescendo using the stream of the breath, never forced. Repeat for all vowels. This exercise helped me immensely years ago. It took forever for me to realize that my “reinforced falsetto” was actually my upper register because it felt so weak hearing it in my own head. Proper high notes should feel easy. Remember, never force.
1:16:10 He said A natural is the 1st high note, Ab,G,Gb is the passagio I actually clearly feel thet I can generate a lot of Power with A upward, but as he said the 3 notes below that are soooo Hard for me, I don't sing opera but what he said resonate so much with me .. A4 and E4 are like from different planet 😅
Great video! Jack talks about lowering the epiglottis. To my knowledge, the epiglottis is attached to the larynx and the hyoid bone. Moving the epiglottis down thus means to eather raise your larynx, or depress the tongue. It doesn’t seem that Jack wants you to do either of this. Am I missing something?
Oh, watched the first few minutes... frustration really is an ally and we must try and devote the hours and figure out the technique. I'm gonna watch the rest tomorrow. Thanks !
OMG!!!!!! This information is MONUMENTAL!!!!!! Two wonderful Artist discussing the art of singing!!!! I will definitely be referring to this video for the rest of my singing career!!! Question Mr. Simerilla, when are you coming to Vienna???
I would love a "tenor" talk with a high lyric baritone like Thomas Hampson for example. There are certain types of baritone that almost resemble tenor voice. Now I think I am baritone but always there are the question "perhaps I am a undeveloped tenor".
What a great conversation thank you! 🙏🏽 Jack is amazing and a great ‘air traffic controller’ QUESTION: why must the larynx be low? I never understood this 🤷🏼♂️

So great! I would love to see Phillipe Hall on or Matt Edwards(he’s not a tenor but it’d be cool to hear from a classical trained singer talk contemporary and the benefits of classical technique).
Fascinadísima con tus videos José. Gracias por compartirlos!😊
This is absolutely life-changing. THANK YOU
What a treasure to have Jack on here Jose. Appreciate the wealth of knowledge that he brings.

Yes! Singing is VERY MUCH counterintuitive. Thank you so much!
Everything jack said is so true. He truly is a real expert. The one helped me the most is the tongue position. Thank you so much !!!!
This is so encouraging and inspiring ❤

@@RonaldOudmans thank you for the kind message. Glad it was of help!
I love how you guys are so passionate and excited about what you’re talking about. You encourage me to continue to “figure it out” myself!

these videos are more valuable than gold THANK YOU!
Thank you both so much!
Fantastisch. Soviele praktische Hinweise, die man nachvollziehen kann und die richtig sind.
Amazing,,,, 😊😊. Thanks maestros
MERCI , TRÈS passionnant 👍👌👌⭐️
WHAT AN AMAZING DUO. I have finally understood passagio/tilt since I started watching their videos.
This was such a fantastic listen. Really inspiring to hear the passion you both have for the voice. Thanks!
Thank You so much for this lovely and extremely useful, enlightening conversation!
Great interview! I appreciate this so much. Thank you 🎉
Thank you so much for sharing all this helpful information with such a passion and energy! Two great people and professionals, respect!
great stuff as always, thank you so much Jose and Jack!

Thanks a lot! Still trying to figure out the clue of the falsetto to achieve the high notes.

It took forever for me to realize that my “reinforced falsetto” was actually my upper register because it felt so weak hearing it in my own head. Proper high notes should feel easy.

@@GermanOperaSinger Thanks a lot. I'll try.
I'm not an opera singer (far from it) but I enjoy singing popular music with the best technique possible.
1:16:10 He said A natural is the 1st high note, Ab,G,Gb is the passagio
I actually clearly feel thet I can generate a lot of Power with A upward, but as he said the 3 notes below that are soooo Hard for me, I don't sing opera but what he said resonate so much with me .. A4 and E4 are like from different planet 😅

Did Mr Li Vigni say comPOsite? Is it an American pronunciation or did he mean COMposite?
comPOsite is the American pronunciation of the word
Hi José did technique come natural to you the first years or are you a hustler like us?😂
@@utilitydisk def had to hustle!!! And still hustling…
So great! I would love to see Phillipe Hall on or Matt Edwards(he’s not a tenor but it’d be cool to hear from a classical trained singer talk contemporary and the benefits of classical technique).
