I was told when I was younger that I couldn't sing Opera. Now, at 60, and listening to you I may have a chance. 😌 Thank you!
it's never too late to pursue your dream!
Keep going love!
You got this!!
You are enouraging me.
You got this dear! Don't give up! Just do it for yourself ❤
Why is that when I'm alone I can sing strongly, but in front of people I sound like a speaking mouse?
My sister is like that too. I think it's just nervousness. (:
But me i can sing at all
The more you sing in front of strangers the easier it gets trust me😉
Yeah, you just need to build confidence. My singing is also weak if I'm self-conscious about who can hear me. If I block out those thoughts and just belt it out, then I can sing well.
OMG Ms too
I've never been classically trained, but I've been so drawn to opera ever since I was young! I love singing opera 😍 this will help so much!
Samee
I came here because i want to sing "Queen of the night" 😂😂😂
@Eunice Del Mundo hell yes!! 😍
Same lol
Goodluck to that
Omg same hahahahah
Same hahahah
Phantom of the Opera. That's all I'm gonna say.
MJangel 11 YYEESSS
MJangel 11 yes
MJangel 11 omg thats one reson i came here😂😂👌👌
MJangel 11 yasssssssss
That’s not an opera. It’s a broadway musical
I cant even sing, why am I watching this :D
Sabrina Baumann 😂😂
Because you WANT to sing and SHOULD! I am watching this and I am a tenor!
Me too
Sabrina Baumann samee
I can reach difficult high notes but I don't sound that good xD
Wtf does that mean ?? Probably nothing oh well
(I WISH I COULD SING UGH I LOVE OPERA AND SOPRANO SO MUCH)
I’m only here so I can learn to get a range of Christine daee
Yes !!
*_Sing for me!!!_*
_AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHUHUU_
LMFAO SAME
Everyone tell to me that i have soprano voice, but my problem is i'm a shy girl, i can't relax and focus when i sing high notes. i think i just can sing high notes alone in my bathroom 😄
Karimah Sungkar Me too😥
Karimah Sungkar then just gimme your voice girl
I do the same
Karimah Sungkar y’know, I started taking singing lessons now and one thing that I do when I’m not in a comfortable place is close my eyes and just focus on my voice, and the feelings I want to convey through it: feel the music in your body, I guess. That works for me, might or might not work for you but maybe try it out? (a fellow soprano) ;)
Karimah Rima M E LEGIT
"What kind of Soprano are you?"
*Me:* "Hah, the man kind"

SPICY MEMES no i also want to...
That is the goal 😂😂😂
Just realized I sing in an opera voice to my cats. I'm going to make an opera called, "You are such a cute fluffy adorable kitty lemme hug you precious fuzzy wuzzy baby"
Thanks, Freya for being so generous with your knowledge. It helps for those of us who can't afford lessons.
Not me wanting to learn opera because of The Penthouse
Same😔
same gurl!!! ayy penthouse fans!!!
Mee too
Yes I recognise that I have great voice after singing Opera and now I don't know how to start ,or how to learn 😭😭😂plz help!!
@@minkookminkook9120 woah you are lucky I can sing every type of song even classical and high notes too but I don't think opera is for me🥺
I do always tend to darken my sound, it's something that was engraved in my brain, simply the way I was trained. Even though I am not a beginner, this video really helped... anyone can benefit from this video, love it, thank you :]
Charlie D. th-cam.com/video/aQN1zuaosIc/w-d-xo.html here’s a dramatic soprano with a deep voice. It’s not bad to have a deep singing voice!
I started singing metal, I didn't have the darkness and heaviness at first and then I practiced and developed. It's pretty much engrained, but my lighter side has diminished a bit now.
I can sing soprano one...
If there’s a roach flying at me
😂😂😂
Im a soprano1 frl lmao but I wanna do better whistle tones hehe
Now that's a mood

Phoebe zwuup 😂😂😂
Who’s here with a dream to be Christine 👋🏼
I just wanna sing "Les Oiseaux dans la charmille"
love that aria!
I want to learn opera because of penthouse
Get clear about what type of soprano you are?
Heavy and dark( )
Lighter and brighter ( )
High and annoying (√)
Im a guy and my voice is naturally deep, but i can sing soprano really well for some reason. I hit really high notes up to the E. I'm here because I wanna give encouragement to those struggling!! You got this! Just do some body warmups to which, may sound strange but give them a go and see how you do after...yawn to open up your vocals, cough slightly to engage your diaphragm, and do some jumping jacks! :D
Im a boy and I always dreamed to sing like a soprano.
Maybe try to sing countertenor ?
I'm a girl and I always dreamed to sing like a baritone.
I'm a lady abd always dreamed of singing with the baritone, but alas I'm a lowly soprano.
Where do you practice singing these? Cause I really dont want my neighbors to call the police on me 😥
same problem... like do i hike a mountain and practice there XD ahahaha
Practice in your car
😂😂😂
Same except I have a very judgy brother....
@@ruby5787 sad we dont have a car ;-;
In singing classes over a year and I love this lesson. Tell me a lot as starting point and your use of adjectives is so very specifically helpful. Thank you!
Im here after watching penthouse 😂
Same🤣😂
Playing a character who is an opera singer in a musical, so I need this lol
I just wanna know how to sing like brendon urie
😂 trueeee!!!
PHAAAANNNNNTOMMMMM OFFFFFFF THEEEEE OPERAAAAAAAA i really like the point of no return
we are doing phantom of the opera and i need to get good at opera so i can be christine haha
You don't really need to "get good at opera" as you put it to play the part of Christine. That is, at the end of the day, musical theatre. So you need to work on your range if you are not already doing so but don't push your limits until your voice, and you, are ready.
What you said is so very true! I couldn’t agree more 💗 I’ve just started Opera and Classical signing and I’m a high soprano. My voice is so similar to yours, it’s very light and bright and I feel like I can literally “fly” on very high notes. I love it! My previous teacher told me I should have darkened my voice, forcing my jaw to open in a very unnatural way and it felt horrible. I’m so happy my new teacher is encouraging me to express myself in the most safe and authentic way, letting my voice be just as it is. She told me exactly what you said in this video ☺️ Thank for sharing your precious experience 🌌🎶💗
With higher notes your jaw needs to be open. Not just relaxed
Anna Baker exactly .. need space
Being a singer and currently studying vocal performance (opera) in college, I can tell you that open does not always mean relaxed. I STRUGGLED with soo much jaw tension and part of that was because I grew up watching singers sing like that.
The biggest key about reducing jaw tension is the breath support and your core. They are directly related, so if your core isnt working, you have to compensate... which, for me, was my jaw
Hi army 🖐️
Freya Casey , maybe that advice is good for light high voices but it's not very good for big low voices. You can see how great singers open their mouth at low and high notes. And if you take a look at Jessie Norman, you'll see how she open her mouth at every note😆
@@thefreyacaseymusic totally agree with that! I've sung many opera roles, and I'm so grateful for this video. There is SO MUCH MISINFORMATION about opera/classical singers because it's in the spotlight now. I'm just so glad you're here! I'm a light lyric coloratura, and I absolutely love creating jaw tension by over extending especially on pure "ah" vowels. It is something I still have to consciously think about. I find more space in my dome and very slightly by opening my jaw a bit more (but the space is mostly above my shelf/cheeks) when I'm warming up from C6 - F6. I find it easier to not create as much space when I'm sing that high and just singing a pure rounded vowel like a laser beam as you said. I think of vowels like golden snitches.: )
I’m a dedicated choir student who was picked for events etc. I’ve done choir for a few years now, so I have a strong foundation. I have absolutely no idea how I ended up here, but I did. I aim to be a better singer and this is how I’ll do it!! >:DD
I'm good in a regular voice but I really want to be able to sing opera
SAME!

Hi Freya, just 'discovered' your channel last week, it's very interesting! Thanks for all the work you put into it.
Absolutely love your channel.😊🙏
I actually came here after watching Penthouse. Is it weird? ¿😹
No it's fine because me too bruh😉🤣
Me too lol
Thank you. Lovely, I appreciate hearing the difference in heavy and dark vs. light and airy.
These videos are very helpful! I struggle with making a darker sound when i sing and to hear the difference between the two helps a lot.
Isn't it normal that the vowels change a bit the higher you sing? Thats what I was taught : (
Stella Maris yes.
yes . I facing the same problem too
Stella Maris same I fell like this goes against everything I was taught
absolutely
Yes stella,you are right
Thank you for this editing that starts with this video. Fantastic. Thanks so much.
I'm so glad I found Freya! Your tips are really helping me and motivating me to do more singing. I'm 26 and haven't took any singing lesson and I do like opera and am enjoying singing (practising) Ave Maria as well as e.g. Adele's songs (1st video of yours I have seen was actually Rolling In The Deep:-) Singing is so fullfilling me, I don't know what I would do withou youtube cos there is literally everything I have ever needed to learn, from piano playing, drums, guitar, singing. Wow... Just a HUGE THANK YOU to you and all people who take their time and do videos like this, so I can really learn something interesting. You are an angel
I love your tutorials so much! They're a life saver
thanks for the tips! Your voice is beautiful!
I love your videos - thank you! I have learned a lot.
Here after watching phantom of the opera
LOVE that you're doing this! I was thinking about this just yesterday! Lol.
I actually relaxed my face and tht helped me I used chest voice so I have no control over my head voice. So thank you.❤
Only thing I wanna say is THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart ❤️
Gosh her voice , lovely
This was so informative thank you
Me here after watching penthouse
Me af
I’m a legit soprano in musical theatre so I want to enhance my craft and get into classical music
My goal is to be Christine Daaé on broadway or a national tour or even a professional production one day!
Thank you so much for your explanations. It has been quite a while since I wanted to sing Opera because all of my mother’s side of the family is an Opera singer or has great vocals. I don’t know if you know him but my grandfather is Matteo Manuguerra which was an Opera singer ( he died before I was born ). My grandmother, which had a very powerful link with me through music, died a few months ago and I just feel the need to learn Opera so I will feel closer to my family and to my grandparents :). Again thank you so much for your videos !
Beautiful Voice!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful Freya!! I love this!
I am Soprano 2. So much help for my voice, I love it appreciate ❤
I'm here because I love Tarja Turunen and Nightwish and want to sing symphonic metal and techno. 😎
I loved this. Thank you.
I had training a few years ago but I forgot most things again, hope this helps me remember
Thank you freya i love you 🌸🌼💖
do more of this plz!I love it and you ❤❤❤💙
Thank I love Opera
i’m an alto and my vocal teacher gave me the piece “caro mio ben”, which i’m hella struggling with - especially since i’m not used to hearing myself sing such high notes in general :’)
I tried it once... Now trying different cough syrup!
🤣🤣
Hi. First of all keep up the good work on the videos these are the only ones I've come across that help budding opera singers. I would like to know how much of your advice applies to Tenors especially the upper register tutorials? Thanks Steve
Many thanks dear master. Ello from Colombia!
I took classical for a short time. I found out that at the time which was years ago that I'm categorized as a Mezzo soprano, but at the time and I don't know anymore if I can t get to whistle. But back then i could get into whistle a bit.
Lovely
This is very helpful
I was inspired to learn opera because of Vitas's cover of Skyfall by Adele, but I know that I and no other human being could ever even fathom having a voice like his.
Except maybe this guy:

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 SO MUCH !!!!!!!!
Very good instructions 👍👍👍
PENTHOUSE BROUGHT ME HERE😭😭😭
Same bruh🤣😂
Im looking for a video for tenor or baritone do you reccomend one? thank you very much
learning this instead reviewing
I'm inlove with phantom of the opera
This is vague misinformation, I’m an opera singer myself. No offense to this video, I’m saying this out of the love of singing.
If any of you are serious about learning how to sing it’s simple. Anyone can do it with hard work and patience!
1) learn how to take a deep breathe on command (like how you do when you’re preparing to fall asleep). Then learn how to exhale (like you’ve taken a big yawn and you’re slowly breathing out. Naturally allow your ribs to relax).
2) You must develop the voice!! Like you develop your biceps. Simply learn to sing everything using the muscle groups you use for talking. First chest muscles (thyroid arytenoid). Then you will be able to learn to lighten that chest voice and sing with Head voice muscles (cricothyroid). Believe me, I’ve learned to sing with the placement technique and it was very harsh and stressful for my voice. Now I sing using these muscle groups and I sound free and in control.
3) Most importantly listen to the right singers, people who didn’t shy away from using their whole voice (dimitrova, Obrastova, del Monaco, ponsella, etc) to get an understanding of how those notes should sound. You should never sound like Kermit the frog, or feel like your have a big poop.
Must be learned in this order for optimal results.
Thanks!!
I have never been able to do that thing with the tongue getting into that V shape )
when are you going to do editions for other voice classifications? Like Mezzo?
Thank you. 👍
Im brazilian in love with ur videos! I also follow Natalia Aurea! Keep doing this amazing musical contribution for us!
yes! Finally!💗💗
Wooo ... no idea why I typed in opera tutorial at 7 am in the morning on a holiday...but the 5 mins
Why dies she feel passive agressive hahaha
Can you please do opera tutorials for mezzos?
Thank you for this tutorial mam😁😁
I just came here to sing " my heart goes on " more perfectly 🙆♀️💜
Hi I wanted to ask what exercises I can do to improve the timbre of my voice to sound more operatic and with more color?I am a baritone/future tenor(F2 to G4). But my voice doesn't sounds like it fit for opera and I really need some help to change that.
3:48 I knew my opera chances were over by then😂😂😂
I like the darken Opera. Can feel the pain
I started singing opera in 7th grade as an alto. Now I’m a whistletone
5:15
I have a weird voice! I'm 26 years old and my voice is childlike, mumble-like, LOUD( no volume control!), and I can make a very good Steve Urkle impression! But I STILL WANT TO LEARN OPERA! HOW DO I KNOW WHAT KIND MY VOICE WOULD SOUND GOOD AT AND HOW DO I PRACTICE IF I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT?
Is it ok to sing while I'm in sitting position but good posture?
My chorus teacher says that if you sit up straight with feet flat on the floor also backs away from the chair it is ok. However, for harder songs, it is better to stand while singing
I mean, considering professional opera singers are laying on their backs while they are dying on stage, I think youll be fine. But definetly try standing when practicing... this way you know how it will feel when you actually perform it
@@mallorywilliams418 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Auditioning for the wardrobe in beauty and the beast wish me luck!!
Can someone explain to my why I sound like kermit the frog when I sing pop songs but like Maria callas when I sing opera????
Great voice. Would be great to hear more singing.
Again, we amateurs have NO IDEA what the larynx OR the pharynx. Show a PICTURE. Many coaches talk about it but don’t show it. Love you!
