Joyce is always right on. She hears it and feels it and is able to communicate clearly and kindly. Such a wonderful example of the perfect teacher.

As for the Caballé reference - I've heard of her actually telling the maestro that she DIDN'T need to breathe in the usual spots, as she had so much breath that she could hold on for longer than expected... this to the maestro's amazement.But brava DiDonato for being such an engaging, energetic and knowledgeable teacher.

Every suggestion she had for this young man was spot on. Didn't solve every problem he has, but that wasn't her job in the moment. I myself would like to see what's causing his eyebrows to move so much--it must be tension somewhere that be isolated and resolved.

If you listen to his spoken voice you will note the "fatigue" of the sound. He speaks almost with his false vocal cords.

Joyce was not disrespectful to Montserrat. She was being playful. Montserrat had the most superb technique and was no slave to conductors. Joyce was making the point that she was insistent that her technique would not be subservient to the whim of a conductor. Montserrat has a wonderful sense of humour and would enjoy Joyce 's gentle imitation, I'm certain.

If he's attending a class he must be seeking instruction, and if she's hosting a class she must be offering instruction. He must need instruction on breathing because she starts addressing it around 11:30, but only with subjective imagery and not with concrete directions.

@misterhoeflak 10 жыл бұрын

@jaketaz2848 11 жыл бұрын

I would rather say "take a longer, slower inhalation", because it is verb-based and direct. You can try it yourself, start singing without thinking and then go back and do the same thing but with a long breath that is slow enough to be silent. You will note an improvement, as would anyone because it exploits a biological function that is the same for everyone and no interpretation is needed. If you don't know any classical songs, try it with the Happy Birthday Song.

@jaketaz2848 11 жыл бұрын

he stops singing around 2:30, DiDonato addresses the first technical issue 9 minutes later around 11:30. I don't quite understand the logic of addressing this after 9 minutes in, when it's a problem with the root of every sound he's created. and after doing so, using a tent pole image with no instruction beyond "imagine this". I appreciate DiDonato's singing a great deal and consider her one of the best currently working, but fame isn't a teaching tool, instruction is.

@AuntAgatha0fullmoon 4 жыл бұрын

If you have seen any of her masterclasses before, she explicitly states that she is not a pedagogue. She attacks her technical issues pretty much purely through image work, and considering the success rate with her masterclass transformations, I would say it works. Also, I'm not sure what you're saying about 11:30. She pretty much immediately started talking about text, which is pretty fucking important if you ask me lol. Her focus in every masterclass is always musicality, breath, legato, text, and stage presence. This might not work for you, but it's a bit much to say that it's not an effective (considering all the masterclass videos of hers out there demonstrating this) and fascinatingly rich pedagogical system from which to approach operatic artistry.

@rlaflamme865 2 жыл бұрын

It's called timbre. Could be altered by sound recording, microphone etc. But in this répertoire anyway the voice has to be agile, swift, no place or time for big wide heavy voices. 🤔

he's pushing too much and singing the coloraturas too heavily, you can totally tell because he lost his speaking voice, singing a high tessitura with too much air pressure kills your speech level voice

When she starts talking about technique and images, it becomes very subjective. I don't agree with her images. Each person has to find their own. However, she is entertaining.
