It's amazing how hard these people work. For years and years and years, like olympic athletes. Never giving up, continuing to go for it, trying and trying. It's just so inspiring how hard people work to become the artists they eventually become. I mean, they work this intensely starting at around age 10 to 12 and continue with this kind of attention to detail and this intensity, constantly. It makes me appreciate them all the more when I see what it takes to become a top singer. Wow.
So true... I want people to notice how hard every single one of artists works on their craftsmanships.. it always amazed me.. and sadly so many places to share still...I hope someday classical music has another renaissance. so many musicians have the chance to share whatever they have. Thank you so much for noticing.. it means a lot; truly...
Do you mind if I share your comment in the Korean Music community? If you say no I will not share. PLease feel free to say now ^^ I would understand ^^ Thank you again.
They don’t start at 10. It’s more like 13-15 for females and 16-17 for males. If anything is happening before then it’s mainly choral or cutesy musical theatre. Boys don’t have any clarity before 15 due to puberty changing literally everything.
Only that hard work and suffering doesnt lead to artistry. That' s a fraude of the capitalism. What we hear in this Video is exactly that, hard work, but surly that isnt Art.
I enjoy watching these masterclasses a lot. Joyce, besides being very skilled at teaching and singing, is just a bundle of good energy. She really gets extatic when a pupil does something good. I love that.
Thx for correcting people's spelling. What an enrichment to the life of everybody. Well. I wouldn't call these classes generally useless. It depends on pupil, teacher and setting. I have the sensation that for some singers it can be a push in the right direction. Receiving thoughts they never had or approaches they never thought of. For others though it may be just confusing and making them insecure. Plus, these events also serve as an opportunity for networking. Which is also quite important I believe. PLUS: DiDonato is an intelligent and skilled teacher who has very good imagery when explaining something.
Don't forget the pianist...they are always forgotten he's marvolous! It's an open eye when she's giving her lessons a wonderful person and singer ofcourse, otherwise you can't do it!
This is amazing...it really is an art!! The work...the discipline!! The accompanist is a gift too...they are so patient and humble as well and brilliant in their gift to play. What an amazing and exceptional teacher!! I've heard opera, but never knew how much training goes into it.
Joyce is such a gifted teacher... BORN to teach! Amalia could not be more charming. Adam is lovely. 21:57 just makes me smile so big, no matter how many dozen times I play it. To understand opening, lifting, buzzing, etc. I watched the video (helps to watch ALL of them in this series) a few dozen times, with headphones that were turned up until I could easily hear the difference. Magic. She's taught a very gifted soprano who sings beautifully (I think my favorite out of all the master classes) how to touch an audience in the feels, lifting her performance skills and technique in such a way that lifts talent into mastery. These master classes will stay with these students for the entirety of their careers... if they're smart, and this one is. On a side note, WOW Joyce's hair cut and wardrobe - omg - love love love.
I agree. I think Joyce's master classes are the best. I watched some by Kiri and i was shocked at how forthright Kiri could be. She told one singer "ok now you are just droaning on and on. Put more life into it." Rene Fleming is a bit boring. Her exercise with the blowing through the straw is boring. But i think Joyce's masterclass with Jakub Orlinski is the best one.
There was something just so special about this master class. I've watched it several times. Joyce brings out the best in her. Amalia is wonderful. I can't wait to see her in something.
Fantastic!!! I’m Brazil they get these young, fresh, clear voices and put them inside these horrible heavy boxes… Watching this is so refreshing!!! This is how it should be!!!
@@tokkia1384 Whoa. Just watched it. Amazing. His voice, especially legato, improved 100%. The way she walked him around the stage, hilarious! Thank you!!
What a God given gift, so rich a soprano voice, physical beauty and stage presence. Her voice goes straight to touch my heart strings. Would love to hear her sing the Micaella aria in Carmen and the Lui aria in Turandot!!! Great future for this amazing soprano. Pray that the Met will discover her.
Gorgeous!!!!! What a rare and girgeous gift to be guided corrected advised taught educated polished refined by Joyce DiDonato...what a gift from God...like a warm hug from the baby Jesus Himself!!!
I think there's a video on TH-cam of Robin Follman doing it. She was an opera star for about 25 years and starred in about 50 operas. She stopped after being assaulted byva conductor and dealing with a lot of stalking, and removed almost all references to herself from the internet. She is a soprano who has it all, and was always in high demand! She has several videos of her doing Mimi, where the acting and singing are just superb. Check it out.
i also was thinking i wanted to see her on stage...which is rare for these classes. I'd cast her today! I'm a tenor, and how marvelous it would be to study -- like these fortunate people are -- with Ms. DiDonato.
JOYCE IS A HUMBLE GRACEFUL MERCIFUL PROFESSIONAL BRILLIANT COMMUNICATOR SHE NEITHER DEGRADES INSULTS HUMILIATES NOR DEVASTATES NEITHER JUDGES WITH DISDAIN NOR CORRECTS WITH HUMILIATION TACTICS...SHE COMMUNICATES WITH THE DEPTH OF LOVE PASSION AND LOYALTY TO THIS ART AS IS HEARD IN EACH PERFORMANCE ...
Amazing! I learned so much just with watching this video ! What would I learned if I would have the chance to get a lesson with her? A Dream would come True, she is just great and the singer as well ❤️❤️❤️
That just might be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I once tried to counsel a mezzo in the very way who pushed her middle and lower voice, but we had limited time. I wish we'd had time to do more work!
I'm reading so many negative comments from Italians, but tell me: Have you heard a really great Italian soprano in the last 20 years? I haven't. Give me some examples and I'll find them on TH-cam.
Eleonora Buratto is a very good soprano. Also Fiorenza Cedolins. Yes,it is true that italians love there italian music,singers😊But well..you are right becouse in the past 20 years was only russian or.. sopranos or mezzo..
It's coming from America and Russia these days, it seems. Is it that it's become more popular in America than it is in Italy, so more people are studying and starting pretty young? Robin Follman is a great example of a wonderful American soprano. She has starred in over 50 operas all over the world and she's American.... etc.
The Mimì: In the old days, she would have had a 30 minute lesson every day with Joyce for two years, and she would be ready for a career. Sadly, this doesn't happen nowadays. She could be a star.
this tehnique are good for hight note but in medium registrer its difficult to kept that.This girl its hold her pozition and wathever, she singing what she learn that,also she is very talented person.
Kareem Abdel Hakam it’s visualizing you’re breathing not with your lungs but using your diaphragm and you’re not finishing the note not with a closed off low sound but lifted with resonance and sending it up.
Another way of thinking of it is that composers love writing dropping, dying phrases for dying sopranos - but your soprano job is to send that dropping, dying phrase outwards and upwards over the orchestra and to the back of a very large theater....
Remember the voice is a wind instrument, Joyce is visualising the sound as spiralling on the top of the air column. Think of a ball at the top of a fountain jet. Amalia was letting the ball lower and fall, Joyce says the jet widens and narrows but the ball must not fall.
UGH why didn't Joyce address the fact that when she would sing a word that ended with a rolled r like "rancor," she wasn't connecting the tone to the rolled r--there was space between the two, i.e. 24:38. But she got her to open her sound, which was amazing.
Brava! Hai molta voce e vedo bene per te i ruoli di donne forti, combattenti: la regina in Turandot, La fanciulla del west... Segui la Donna cucita vitruviana!
Her jaw is shaking in the top note near the end. That's not a good habit. It should resonate and vibrate freely. Anyways it sounds fantastic. She is very good.

Do you know how much do these opera singers get paid for these useless masterclasses? Of course she s extatic ...
Tomba 2 and Chris Pi - the spelling is ecstatic.
@@CJCappella well, compared to the mistakes made in this video...
Thx for correcting people's spelling. What an enrichment to the life of everybody.

Don't forget the pianist...they are always forgotten he's marvolous! It's an open eye when she's giving her lessons a wonderful person and singer ofcourse, otherwise you can't do it!
For many singers, the pianist is simply a karaoke player.
Heartfelt lesson. I almost cry for what she sung after her lesson.
This is amazing...it really is an art!! The work...the discipline!! The accompanist is a gift too...they are so patient and humble as well and brilliant in their gift to play. What an amazing and exceptional teacher!! I've heard opera, but never knew how much training goes into it.
Opera is amazing! It requires passion, talent and above all dedication.

Yes, that girl is amazing. Chills every time I hear her slide down. This video is legendary now.
Simply Magical!! wouah I love that singer and teacher

She isnt a teacher she o le manipulate those Young singers with her superficial garbage.
This shows what an incredible teacher she is. At about the 20 min mark something amazing happens

Fantastic!!! I’m Brazil they get these young, fresh, clear voices and put them inside these horrible heavy boxes… Watching this is so refreshing!!! This is how it should be!!!
So good. Joyce is one of most accurate, skilled, and kind master teachers any woman singer could wish for. 💖
Thank you for watching! We're glad you enjoyed this Master Class.
She teaches men/people with lower voices too ! The masterclass where they sing Una Furtiva Lagrima with a tenor is absolutely hilarious !
@@tokkia1384 Whoa. Just watched it. Amazing. His voice, especially legato, improved 100%. The way she walked him around the stage, hilarious! Thank you!!

I love how surprised and happy the soprano is when she suddenly nails it. So genuine and refreshing!
"and now melt..." such good teaching. And we did melt
We are delighted that you enjoyed the master class video.
I love that student---and the entire class. Joyce is AMAZING
I’ve watched this 20 times and I still love it. It is such a moving process to witness.
They both are super nice and sweet, their generosity exudes and goes through the video. I hope she does very well in her career.
She made me cry!
Gorgeous!!!!! What a rare and girgeous gift to be guided corrected advised taught educated polished refined by Joyce DiDonato...what a gift from God...like a warm hug from the baby Jesus Himself!!!
What a glorious voice, and what a gift to the world Joyce is! Best of the future to you both! xo
You are amazing Joyce, I can’t wait to make one of your masterclasses ❤
I so love Joyce and her classes are so amazing.. I can watch her teaching forever
We're glad you've enjoyed this Master Class!
This soprano is very good and indeed, already she's got a lot in spades for the future.
Christiaan d'Hooghe Sounds like a sensual Carmen in her middle voice. Exciting! Makes wonders when she open up the sound too.
Meaning the chiaro in her voice and overtones for her chiaroscuro sound.
Christiaan d'Hooghe6
Christiaan d'Hooghe you must know no good soprano than...
@@Tkimba2 check out Kasondra Kazanjian on TH-cam
I've been looking for this aria for such a long time and I've found it here!!!
I think there's a video on TH-cam of Robin Follman doing it. She was an opera star for about 25 years and starred in about 50 operas.
She stopped after being assaulted byva conductor and dealing with a lot of stalking, and removed almost all references to herself from the internet.

I can’t even listen to this music without crying. How singers do this is beyond my comprehension….
What a treat to see her teaching. And the sound she produces is SO AMAZING.
This teacher is a joy to watch
No wonder why her name is Joyce ;)
Bravo for the pianist too, also in the teaching part: Very musical, attentive and beautiful piano sound .
i also was thinking i wanted to see her on stage...which is rare for these classes.
I'd cast her today! I'm a tenor, and how marvelous it would be
to study -- like these fortunate people are -- with Ms. DiDonato.
Love it! So much to learn from this masterclass!
Her timbre is dark and slightly veiled with a big vibrato but oh so nice to see how it can be opened up to bloom in its full glory!
I've learned so much from watching this! Thanks, Joyce! :)
Joyce is amazing as a singer and as a teacher, you can only love her!
I love this singers voice! It made me cry! Fire!
14:30 is amazing! Soaring, pure, easy....
Very interesting approach and there’s an immediate result.
Amazing Joyce! Fantastic
Thanks for listening!
Great Voice Beautiful ❤️💕
Love her Masterclasses.WOW👍❤️
JOYCE IS A HUMBLE GRACEFUL MERCIFUL PROFESSIONAL BRILLIANT COMMUNICATOR SHE NEITHER DEGRADES INSULTS HUMILIATES NOR DEVASTATES NEITHER JUDGES WITH DISDAIN NOR CORRECTS WITH HUMILIATION TACTICS...SHE COMMUNICATES WITH THE DEPTH OF LOVE PASSION AND LOYALTY TO THIS ART AS IS HEARD IN EACH PERFORMANCE ...
Great. !Such concerned instructor for her student!!!
Bravissima Amalia!

Watching Joyce's masterclasses makes me wish that she'd be invited to give the Charles Norton lectures at Harvard one of these years
She has such a teachable spirit!
BRAVO JOYCE!!!!!
Adorable professor!!!
Amazing! I learned so much just with watching this video ! What would I learned if I would have the chance to get a lesson with her? A Dream would come True, she is just great and the singer as well ❤️❤️❤️

WoW!
Wonderful
The pianist though :)
Captain Caveman?
Di Donato, ma cosa insegni che non sai se tu sei un soprano o un mezzosoprano...
How I'd love to take lessons from her... but not with that pianist: he's so hot I'd get distracted 😶
He's balding.
What's that got to do with his attractiveness?
No, I am not 15, and as for the question - you should address it to Nielssen himself. No disrespect meant to him.
LOL same
Opera is not for the weak. You sir, are weak.🙄
Props to the hottie on the piano XD

Robin Follman is a great example of a wonderful American soprano. She has starred in over 50 operas all over the world and she's American.... etc.

Ma non è migliorata!!! Cosa dici?

What does "the breath is going deeper and the note is going higher" mean ?

21:43 (wait for it) ... OOOOMMMMGGGG!!!
Beautiful interpretation, but Voce Ingolata....great pianist!!
" open , open open " , open what ?
open nasal passages i.e. the mask. that is why Joyce is having her sing on an ng.
She wants her to place the notes/sound in the resonance cavities in the face - which is where she points to her cheeks.
@@keymonmurrah4420 lol
Do you realize that's bs?
Loooool
@@Tkimba2 what do you mean? You are sounding uneducated....
Is this class "how to constrict your voice" ?
Yes. It is.
Is this the contest for the most stupid comment?
incredible, the technic of MASCHERA just be resolved by Didonato's NG, AWESOME 👍
Perle Nere.
17:44 this punch line is soooo underrated 😭😭
آفرررین 👏 💛
So basically Joice is traying to make the student sound more nasal. Nice!
Ya wtf is this

Her first note to her is what’s holding me back with my recital music 🤭

Her jaw is shaking in the top note near the end. That's not a good habit. It should resonate and vibrate freely.
Anyways it sounds fantastic. She is very good.
Its vibrating because it’s in a new place for her. It’ll take care of itself..
