I've just walked into the talented part of youtube. And I feel very small now.
She’s not just a singer…she is a proper musician and on top of that she’s coaching to bring out the best in the student. Love her, what an inspiration.
One cannot emphasize too much on how good of a teacher she is !
"controlled loss of control" amazing teacher!
Joyce...you have such a generosity of spirit when you are with people...... you lose yourself in their talent.......beautiful to experience.....
Amazing young singer, And of course Joyce Didonato is incredible !
Joyce DiDonato is so awesome!
It takes a life time to learn Rossini style of singing ,this requires more than bel canto,the voice should be spirited,and amalgamated,and needs a lot of chest power as well,especially for a mezzo,brava Joice keep it up ! Saluti Gino
What a great soprano with a great future. Joyce is also wonderful with her advice and ease of encouraging singers with good criticism for improvement...
there's no breath police!!! oh damn, i feel the police coming sometimes...
I Loved that irish moment they had lol
"There is no breath police!" Amen. My belief is better to take an intentional breath that to try to sneak one in. That said, the bel canto composers seem to make that easier to finesse than, say, Mozart's fancy work with a Donna Elvira or Konstanze. But the message is the same. I've heard this singer more recently, and her lower resonances have filled out beautifully.
Mi tradi still haunts my dreams😂💜
learning opera is so awesome
teaching 30 years and never found a way to explain it the way she did just now. I just got schooled!
This was wonderful. Joyce DiDonato was amazing and so was the young soprano. None of my teachers would have given the throat clearing a pass though. It is better to rub the tongue clockwise two or three times over the roof of the mouth to initiate more saliva and swallow, hydrating the chords before starting to sing. It is a way to stop nervous coughing and throat clearing which are so hard on our chords. Bravi, though! What a beautiful, delightful young singer and a pricelessly focused master singer/teacher.
Sandra Summer-Parks I know that I should not clear my throat as much as I do, but no one ever ever stops me. It's painful listening to my lessons. I do it a lot
This kind of videos are very enriching, especially when they include such a great artist like Joyce DiDonato. But please, don't ruin them cutting off some parts and editing them.
Great teacher, and have to say, love Rachel Kelly. Definitely going to see her soon.
i’m very fascinated by the way opera singers speak from what I’ve heard. such soothing voices with such clarity and diction. very interesting. idk i’m just very fascinated. it probably differs from opera Singer to opera Singer though but I’ve noticed that a lot of opera singers speak this way. and classically trained singers in general.
I would love to have a master class with Joyce, for I am a training coloratura!
Ms DiDonato is such a gracious teacher
Love love love Joyce's attitude, her honesty.
the beauty she speaks with, this made my day much more happy.
OMG i love this message and of course the results!
I LOVE Joyce's master classes... (and I'm a pianist... go figure... great musical advice.. on any instrument... teaches all musicians!)
Sheer commitment from an Irish singer. Bravo! Bellissima!
Wow, amazing Rachel! :)
You are a wonderful teacher Joyce !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!8.15 min
"And that top note.....OMG! "
Thats DiDonato.
Joyce DiDonato has catapulted my interest into opera. Now, I'll just be a little more musically rounded; & that's that.
So wonderful!
What a wonderful teacher
Glorious voice Rachel Kelly .
great lessons,amazing:
It's very meticulous teaching. Pleasure to watch.
so much fun, ROH is the coolest opera house in the world!
Great Job!
SOPRANO HASTA LA MEDULA! ..
da anni i soprani corti cantano il repertorio del mezzosoprano...
no comment.
Joyce is the only masterclass teacher who's about as good as Thomas Hampson.
Rachel's voice is incredible.
Wow, thank u
I believe that by "smearing" she means that while studying the aria it will help you to draw the basic/important parts of the music so as to secure homogeneity throughout and then add details such as trills.
DiDonato was using the smearing technique to engage natural resonance in the young singers voice. They had just talked about how the singer was pushing her lower register to give it weigh. By over-doing the legato it can bring focus and tone into the singer's lower range.
I am interested to watch this, the singer does indeed have a fabulous voice. Why does she continually clear her throat I wonder? I too have this issue, I feel like my voice is croaky and cough to clear it throughout practice (although I try not to, it can't be good for me!) but I also have that breathy sound in the lower register. What is the word "smeary"? that Joyce says? Does she mean to slide to each note, like very legato? I want to practice this.
Master is master. You can immediately tell the difference between Joyce and her student.
MOLTO BELLO UNA BELLA VOCE
We don't get Non più mesta!!? What! I want to hear what Joyce is raving about!
The young girl
Can we hear the rest of the aria???
the braaaaaaaaaa
I know! Most singers have the worst taste in clothing, unfortunally LOL
Why have they cut it short? We didn't get to hear the best part!
Daedalus M'Baye because in general there isn't time in a masterclass to sing a whole piece and give the singer real working time with the master teacher. This singer clearly chose to just work on the recitative (which is plenty to work on just by itself, as you see!)
Yeah, what a thing to cut!
and 15:37 is the best part
*NaCqui all'affanno
Yay, I can see me at 7 secs. My claim to fame :P
ps, questa ragazzina ha una voce bellissima del soprano.
random viewer strolling by
joyce sounds so young.. wtf? is that what opera does?
Miscellaneous well, she speaks as she sings, with that clear resonance, so she sounds younger despite being almost 50. Good technique in speech as well as singing keeps the voice clear and healthy.
i wonder how many young singers are not singing their good type of voice. Beautiful voice but is she a mezzo ?.
I find myself wondering the same thing. Her lower register doesn't have a lot of power or focus, while her high register is quite sparkling.
That's the true..
I think she is a soprano. Many sopranos have darker lower registers, which doesn't mean they're mezzos. The mezzo sound sits in a different place.
Perhaps she is more comfortable in the lower tessitura of mezzo repertoire, though. Granted that (eg this piece) Rossini's mezzos sing nearly as high as his sopranos but the general range and where most of the music sits is a bit lower. I'm one of those on-the-fence voices too - lots of high notes, but more comfortable living in middle and low with occasional forays into the upper register, rather than sitting high all the time, so I call myself a mezzo. Perhaps Miss Kelly is one of these voices as well. In the end, the labels are pretty flexible!
Maybe her passage to head voice is on Eflat :)
I'm mad at this pink bra... But other than that, this video is EVERYTHING!
Veronica Williams I'm pretty sure that's the dress having straps. And really, who cares what she's wearing? She looks lovely and sings lovelier!
8:42
I find it funny that we never hear non piu mesta.
she sounds more like a soprano soubrette
@Charlie Charlie you mean for the darkness of her voice? Do you listen all the interfere inside her throat? Abd what the sound is clear what's the sound? The color not the extension is what gives you the category of the voice. There are so many wrong assigned chords, from the best places in the world.
Another soprano singing as a mezzo-soprano?
"ahahahaah"
"ahahahahahahahahh"
"ahahahaah"
"ahahahaahahah"
(...)
it's soprano ,not mezzo soprano
Hannah K A mezzo is not a type of soprano
Hannah K But they are _not_ a type of soprano.
Hannah K No they are not. They are a different voice type.
Hannah K You poor confused thing.
Hannah K Yes, but they are a different voice type. It's soprano, mezzo-soprano then contralto.
bla bla bla
ennuyeux ... sa voix est plate tel l'encéphalogramme d'un mort...
