How kind and brave that you have shared what is going on with you. Your authenticity is shining through in a whole new way, and it's lovely to experience. Wishing you well and sending you healing thoughts.
I experienced this exact phenomenon during my own cancer journey. I learned piano because my voice was just not working at all and it kept me sane as I was undergoing treatment and recovery. Thank you for sharing your bravery and vulnerability with us! It is such a gift and will be an inspiration to future cancer survivors!
I wish I could reach through that screen and give you a hug!!! Your awesome, you opened your heart and soul to us and it will many others who are going through their own valley. So glad to hear you have a great medical team and family surrounding you as you heal. Sending you love and prayers. Your a brave woman ❤️
Hi Claudia. I wish you all the best. Such a wonderful lovely lady. I’ve marvelled at your wonderful insights. I hope you are ok. Sending you much love. X
How awful for you that you have to go through so many medical procedures. As a fellow singer who had to go through chemo therapy at a young age (25-26) I can relate and this really hit home for me. All I can tell you is that rebuilding your voice along with your body is a huge adventure and after years of recovery my voice is better than ever before. Also I've found that your understanding of music deepens with experience so going through something like that ultimately helps to make you a better musician. Stay strong and good luck with your treatment!
I've been traveling and haven't been able to respond to your posts. It's a relief to hear your voice! You sound wonderful! Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!
Dear Claudia, thank you for sharing this video with us here! I admire people who are so courageous, strong and open. I wish you all the best on your journey of defeating the disease!
@@sophiahernando2303 I think the answer depends on whether they look like they're having a good time and really expressing themselves when they do it. If they are giving effective, meaningful performances, then the answer is, they still make it sound classical because that is how they like to express themselves. If they look/sound awkward and uncomfortable, it's probably because they are trying to imitate a style that doesn't feel organic to them (yet), so they keep reverting back to what feels comfortable and organic (classical vocal production). You know, when I have a student with a background in classical music, who wants to learn how to sing in contemporary styles, the hard part usually isn't the technique. It's helping them really give themselves permission to sing in a style other than classical, because at first it will probably feel "wrong" to them. As well as uncomfortable, because they probably spent years learning to sing opera as well as they do, and they will feel like a bit of a beginner all over again when they start exploring a new style. But if they can get past that, not only will they have a great time singing contemporary music, but it will probably also help their opera singing in a variety of ways.

Lovely to see you again Claudia.
Just returned to this channel after a while... Refuah Shlema!
First time hearing you sing pop. I did'nt know you can also do nonclasical style songs
One amazing thing about the voice as an instrument, is that once you learn the basics, you can sing in most any style!
@@ClaudiaFriedlanderwhy do most opera singers when they sing in contemporary style, they still make it sound clasical?
