Internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato gave a master class at Juilliard on Friday, January 25, 2013. She worked with four voice students and followed up with a brief Q&A period.

I am a lawyer, not an opera singer, but somehow, what Joyce di Donato says about self criticism is really helpful not only for my job, but also for my life. She is a really wise woman and, of course, a great singer and actress.

I am a pianist going through a painful period. Seven years later finding this treasure means the world to me. To Ms.Didonato, I wish to personally thank you! Dear Joyce, I have saved this to my library because you remind me in this class of what I need to have front and center at all times prior to, during, and post practice and performance -- even when my audience consists of two- my Pomeranian and myself.

Whenever I get sad thinking I will never sing opera on a stage because I'm not trained on reading music and I'm not studing in a conservatory, I come here. Joyce is SO encouraging and lovely... now I ask my "inner voice" to be patient and to remember her words: "I've done a lot of work"... and "I'm working on it" :)

I've always respected Joyce as a performer. My respect for her as a caring human being just exceeded my respect for her as a singer. She never rushed an answer to anybody. Her opinion/advice was thoughtful and articulate. You can apply her advice to anybody, especially those of us who have that critical voice in our heads.

I find I have a similar conversation with many of my students. I also find helping my students recognize these negative voices and to help them leave them behind is a difficult task. Thank Joyce for revealing your truth and helping everyone who is lucky enough to listen.

She is a great artist and woman. Not only is she smart, generous, humble and genuinely nice, but she also offers intelligent opinions and lessons and knows how to express them in an interesting way both to professionals and "mere" opera lovers like me. In general I find masterclasses too specific and often too technical to bother watching them at YT, but this one really teaches us about art, career and life.

If you watched the clips, then maybe you've noticed her insisting repeatedly that she's not a voice teacher and doesn't want to interfere in the students' vocal development. She mostly worked with them on interpretation and dramatic intention. And, in that respect, she did make a difference, especially in the young mezzo Rachael Wilson - unfortunately, that video has been removed. You're being sarcastic for no reason. Nobody claimed she could transform a voice, least of all herself.
