Mi tradi still haunts my dreams😂💜

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

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.

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!)

I know! Most singers have the worst taste in clothing, unfortunally LOL

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 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 :)

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!

@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.

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.
