Who else is an alto but is still watching this and hoping to be able to sing like that?😂

I'm auditioning for the role of Christine at my school and this was so so helpful thank you so much!! 2 years later: I'm just now seeing the comments!! I ended up getting the understudy, but I also got to be apart of the performance as the lead soprano for ensemble songs and really enjoyed it!

I studied voice for over 15 years, and everything she's saying is definitely legitimate and useful. Keeping the high notes light rather than pressuring your voice. But in the end, it is what your range is capable of. You need to be a real soprano, a light soprano, to sing this song. The notes she says are difficult are only difficult if you don't have the notes in your voice. She is very helpful.

Is it just me, or the more she say “light” the lighter and brighter her background is?

I WAS SINGING THIS 2 MINUTES AGO AND THEN THIS CAME UP IN THE RECOMMENDATION SECTION THIS IS FATE!!!!!

I can't sing. I'm just to listen to her amazing voice

I'm 44 and I've sang my whole life and I've learned more from her in the last 24 hours than ever before. She's awesome to share her knowledge free of charge!! Love her! :-)

I’m a teenage soprano, so technically my voice could change. I’m really trying to train my voice to sound like Christine daee (because I may or may not be obsessed with phantom) so I really Hope this helps me!

Lyrics Think of me, think of me fondly When we've said goodbye Remember me, once in a while Please promise me you'll try When you find that once again you long To take your heart back and be free If you ever find a moment Spare a thought for me We never said our love was evergreen Or as unchanging as the sea But if you can still remember Stop and think of me Think of all the things We've shared and seen Don't think about the way Things might have been Think of me, think of me waking Silent and resigned Imagine me trying too hard To put you from my mind Recall those days Look back on all those times Think of the things we'll never do There will never be a day When I won't think of you Can it be, can it be Christine? Bravo! Long ago, it seems so long ago How young and innocent we were She may not remember me But I remember her Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade They have their season so do we But please promise me that sometimes You will think of me

I want to be able to hit the high notes in Phantom Of The Opera, favorite song

"It's not that high". My vocal cords beg to differ.

can you do one on phantom of the opera tittle song

I am SO glad you went over that ending. The "groups of 4" is what constantly struggle with. I couldn't ever get the notes right, even when I slowed down Sierra Boggess' performance & tried to copy the notes, but you simplified it for me. Thanks so much!

can you do the christine part of "all i ask of you?"

Please do Love Never Dies (the title song), because I'd love to hit the high part in that, but at the moment I cannot hit them in the right way. Thanks!

Yes im obsessed with Phantom and that song

FYI if you are doing the Broadway open call she says the last high note is a B flat but on the sheet music provided by casting it's a high C so I think this is in a different key!

Can you please do a tutorial for Habanera from the opera Carmen? I'm trying to learn it to help with singing in a different language and would love to hear your feedback. Thanks.

I’ve studied voice for twenty years and you are definitely legit! Thank you this video is very lovely and helpful.

Words cannot describe how much I appreciate this!!

I'm doing this at 1am and my brother just yelled at me to shut up through my door lmao

That last note is so hard 😭

How do I get natural vibrato and sing effortlessly

Very small tips that really make a HUGE difference

I’m singing this in the key of D Major, I’m literally dying. I’ve always sang mezzo and alto for musicals, but now I’m singing full on Soprano. 😂

The Phantom Of The Opera is definitely a hard piece (christine’s part), She sings like fricken high- This is high, but imagine doing that-

thanks this helped with my christine audition i will be going to in a decade

WOW! You have an angelic voice. So sweet. Thank you

Beautiful as always! Since you have a classical background, would it be possible for you to make some videos about classical singing? I have a huge problem with my high notes, I just can't sing them even though I'm a soprano (I can reach them tho, so I know they are there, but when I try to sing them I sound like a dying cat) and I've been training almost for 5 years. Also, how to sing coloratura and trills? And I would love a "How to sing that song" from an actual opera aria. Something easy like Voi che sapete or Vedrai carino. :)

This would have helped so much my freshman year in high school XD

There’s a couple different versions of think of me and the version I sing/ have says”think of August when the trees were green: don’t think about the way things might have been” but I absolutely love singing this song; it was one of the first songs I learned to sing in voice lessons!

Thanks for the interesting voice lessons.... For a person without any musical training, I now begin to appreciate what singers have to go thru to get it "right".

i have 3 years of choir experience as a soprano but i still want to try this song

Dear Freya, I really wanna sing this song. ''Think of me'', but Im an Alto, so its very hard for me, to even sing that song, because Im no soprano! Is it possible, you can make a karaoke/instrumental for 'Think of me'' in Alto version. So I can practice on it.

Green finch and linnet bird from Sweeney Todd: the demon Barber of Fleet Street please

My goodness. I'm not even a singer and after this tutorial even I think I could take a crack at this! Your explanations and demonstrations are crystal clear. Absolutely fascinating!

Thank you for this. Never had a real teacher for my voice before.

My goodness Freya you have an absolutely angelic voice!

Thank you for this. I am 70, went back to singing 5 years ago and your tips are invaluable.I can sing the high A but really struggle with that B! I will work to do this song justice.

Hi!!!!! I just found you and I'm completely amazed by how light and sweet your beautiful soprano voice is, and how you sing this piece so effortlessly! I will DEFINITELY keep on checking your other tutorials because your tips come in super handy! Greetings from Venezuela!

Wow! You know how I sing! I put way to much pressure on my throat, and sound “breathiness” to often. I need to learn techniques to stop that and sing more relaxed. It’s not easy though. Thank you for this video!

Your videos in combination with Justin Stoney's helped me fix my countertenor singing. My timbre was so horrible and songs like this one were far out of reach, but now I can sing it. You're awesome :D

I am just starting this song and a bit afraid. I appreciate all of your knowledge on this. I feel encouraged. God bless!

it’s useful and inspiring to see good technique demonstrated on an actual song. That makes it so much easier to learn a tune properly.

Thank you! I am auditioning for my school play Phantom of the Opera and the only school songs you can sing for auditions are "Think of Me" and "Phantom of the Opera" and I have no idea where to start in trying to sing those. This was very helpful!

One of my favorite musicals. I can't sing, so I really appreciate seeing the technicalities of how this beautiful song is constructed.

She did the phrase "or as unchanging as the sea"twice, when the second time it should have been "flowers fade the fruits of summer fade they have their season so do we"

THANK YOU SOMUCHHHHHHHH!!!! I just heard think of me for the first time and fell in LOVE but I couldn't sing it. Now you've helped me!

the phantom of the opera is the best movie EVER!!!

TIME TO BUCHER MY VOCAL CORDS

Her voice is just perfect...

My 7 year old sings this. She's working with her opera teacher and let me tell you......this youtuber is ON POINT! I love how she teaches you what vocal parts to use and the breathing breaks. It's such a beautiful fun song to sing

Freya, you are an angel. Your voice is so lovely, warm and natural. More importantly your personality shines through. I have a little request though. Could you teach us how to sing Twinkle twinkle little star?

Please can you do a video for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies?

Namaste guru Freya mam I did it try today and little bit i was successful. Love from india (delhi) -sunny

Your voice is more than words can explain

thank you for uploading this. ive just tried singing this after a karaoke video. gosh, i never realized the song is so difficult. (i had remembered it in a much lower key). thank you so much for the tips. you have a stunning voice, btw.

Great instruction. Freya knows how to end it. Christine (Freya) Bravo!

Could you do " I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady?

Her voice is beautiful

"Phantom of the Opera" debuted in 1986, the year I started at Carnegie-Mellon for Music Theatre, one of the top schools in the world for professional music theatre, eventually transitioning into theatrical sound design. In the 1980s, most musical theatre performers did not customarily use close-miked amplification. On top of that, Sarah Brightman was undergoing intensive operatic vocal training at the time specifically in preparation for this role, which was written specifically for her by her husband, composer Andrew Lloyd Weber. The role is absolutely intended to be sung with a fully operatic vocal style, as the play is set in the Théâtre National de l'Opéra (as it would have been known in 1881, the year in which the play is set), colloquially known as the Paris Opera. One could say that within the specific context of the play, the beginning of the song actually takes place in rehearsals of the fictional opera "Hannibal", then transitions to the actual performance of the opera, so in the play, there is intended to be a palpable difference between a simpler vocal style the beginning of the song and a more mature and robust style by the midpoint to the end of the song, as it represents Christine's "blossoming", but to approach the song as if one expects to be close-miked and amplified from the very beginning is, in my opinion, a mistake. This historical context of the play demands that it be fully voiced.

How I just discovered your channel?! You are a very good at teaching 😍 I'll try to put those advices in practice

I have a horrible natural voice but i want to sing soprano. Im trying to teach myself. Thank you!

I'd like to hear you sing the complete song at the beginning of each video please,to demonstrate and inspire

even as a tenor those tips were very helpful!

I screeched when I saw it omg yessss

Thank you! I wish I had this advice when I first sang this piece in school. This was really helpful.

Beautiful soprano

I'm auditioning 4 christine on broadway as an open call this is my first broadway audition I'm gonna nuts trying 2 get it right so i at least get a callback...when i first started studying voice my teacher in college said i didnt need 2 sound like a 70 ur old woman when i sing so im trying 2 brighten it up this has been a great help thank u!

Nunca vi ninguém explicar tão bem

Thank you for sharing...I was looking for ending aria instructional, and I stopped singing for about few years ago...thanks again...God bless

Can you please do one on how to sing green finch and liner bird from Sweeney Todd: the demon barber of Fleet Street?

You have an absolutely stunning voice!

wish i had a nice voice to sing :(

You've got a beautiful voice.

Wow!!! I love the way you sing. Thank you for your lovely techniques.

I wish I could learn how to sing like that :'( I lovee your voice :'(

This is very helpful. The last show I did was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Before that show I thought I was a mezzo. It was community musical theater so we had only two high sopranos in the ensemble. There were some high A's in the score and I learned that I could sing them easily. As a matter of fact I learned that the highest notes were the most beautiful in my range. So now singing a high b is coming very naturally. It takes practice. Now, I routinely sing above my highest singable voice in exercises to make sure I'm explaining my vocal range. Thank you. I find your tutorials very good.

Amazing!!!! I love that song. Remember my cousin and I singing that back in 2010. Haha. You are also great singing while playing piano, really amazing.

Hi Freya! In the broadway version the high note is a C6, so should that be sung on an "uh" vowel? Or should it be changed to an "ah" or an "a" (as in cat)?

could you do Poor Fool He Makes Me Laugh? I love that song, Carlotta is totally my fave character from POTO, but I find it really hard to sing her songs.

u r AMAZING! !! this has helped me so much because I am generally a rock and roll and blues singer and have just found my clear sweet head voice but I was having problems with mouth shape and pronunciation but this video has been wonderful thank you so much!!! You are extremely talented!!!☺

Just beautiful

The sound you describe as an open 'a' is known in English as 'the phonetic symbol 'schwa'. It is how we teach foreign learners to pronounce mother, brother, practical, property. Look them up in a dictionary to find the schwa symbol. It looks like an upside down 'e'.

No clue how I got here, but omg this is so helpful! Other than knowing I'm a soprano, my technical knowledge is nowhere to be found! So these videos are gonna help so much in building my confidence as well 😄 Does anyone know if there's one for "Phantom of the Opera"?

can you do the music of the night

Plz do a wicked version

I don’t have proper breathing control and I end up running out of breath in the middle of a part. Mostly when I’m about to hit a highnote Edit: I’m kinda getting the hang of it. I tend to push more air out when the highnote comes

Love it ♥️ I can sing but it's out of turn 🎶

This was perfect because I was trying to sing this!!

I love how you teach this song . Thank you so much. I love to learn how to sing Time to say good bye please. Thank you again,,

I'm a singer, too. But I have no experience in singing live in front of people. And my voice is really scratchy when I try to sing Opera.

I think that was great! Wish you would teach that at koocam. I would definitely pay to learn that from u to get suitable answers for my questions.

Im sorry but I've been watching and rewatching this video again and again... Only now I just realised the part "flowers fade they hv their seasons so do we" was left out 😅😂

I like so much your lessons....!!! Wonderful job...its soooo peaceful song without pressure....and it looks like difficult...but you make it easy....Amazing teacher.....

More proof that Katie Hall should have been christine in the 25th concert, she had a very youthful and light voice

Thank you for this video. Come to the U K and be my singing tutor. I have just started learning this in my singing lessons. Really enjoyed this video.

i woke up to this song one day and I've been so curious ever since! I'm a guy, but do you think I could do this?

I must watch again! Learning lots each time. Thank you!

Hi can you please make a how to sing phantom of the opera theme song.
