In this discussion, we have to remember that there are many different ways to sing. Some vocalists will say that they switch to mixed (chest and head) voice at F , F# , while others say that they dont sing in the mask/head at all. In interviews with Stefan Zucker, Corelli would insist that he didn't sing in the mask. Gigli, said that he didn't like to teach others to sing because he himself barley covered his tone, yet he could sing all day without harming himself. Pavarotti said that at F, F# that his vocal cords only vibrated in the center...not at the ends. Pavarotti is the only vocalist that I've heard say this. Caruso said that when he would inhale that his stomach went in and then a contrary motion on the exhale when he was singing.... others say the exact opposite. It's like in tennis, Federer has a one hand backhand and Djokovic has a two hand backhand. Who's right...they both are. The truth is, there is more than one way to do something. You have to discover what works best for your body. And there is no need to attack other who use a different technique. Getting back to tennis. Federer said he uses the one hand backhand because his back wasn't flexible enough for the two hand back. This same logic can explain why some singers indeed use the mask on higher notes while other don't. Sometimes our bodies will steer us in the direction of the most suitable biomechanics for us. We must be diligent and listen to our bodies so that we choose the technique most suitable to our physical makeup.

Passionnant !! Merci Maestro VILLAZON !!!!!!

What a lyrical and warm voice he had!

All these haters need to take multiple seats. If you disagree with his methods, you can say that without being an arse-hole.

I am a big fan of meastro Villazon,thank you so much for this workshop

This comes in handy as I'm discovering my passagio now.

So beautiful I have watery eyes and a lump in my throat.

I AM A TENOR FOR MY SELF, AND THE TENOR IS A GREAT TENOR, BEAUTIFUL VOICE,

Queremos el documental completo

como se llama este documental?

I find it hard to believe that before 1830, no male singers could sing above the passagio range in full voice. I hear male vocalists doing it in other musical genres all the time...and those musics tend to have old roots, such as eastern music. Perhaps it was simply not UNDERSTOOD in a way where they could teach the technique until that time in the west, but for sure people were doing it.

Обожаю тенора виллазона особенно его дуэт с молодой Аней Нетребко

This guy CRUSHES. Wow.

Mr. bean xD

Hello, thank you very much for sharing and congratulations. Please, where would you find the passagio of a Baritone? Kind regards.

gracias por el gran video

Its very difficult to sing from the F

The sound dies in the Handel aria.

I've listened to different Tenors, and how they sing. When I took voice lessons, I was always told that I should hit the high notes in the head voice. (She was teaching me tenor techniques). However, when I hear them hit those high notes, (*these are opera tenors) They sound like they would hit them in their chest voice, or some mix mechanism. It is only past high A-flat that I hear the acoustical change that indicate a head voice. But even then, it doesn't sound like it's head voice. What techniques are they using?

Rolando Villazón from México

I found this video in my recommended and have enjoyed it. I'm in a process of developing my mixed voice and it has been pretty complicated haha. I've spent many years using my chest voice to reach notes as high as an A4 very often so now it's a weird sensation to not have the full vibration on my chest when approaching those notes near and past my passagio. I believe my passagio to be located in the Ab4 area. Either G4 or Ab4.

Does anyone know where I can get the full length of this video? Or just the name of the documentation?

THat bridge or passaggio lies at the wrong place when we use A4=440-442Hz (12-TET). Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini should be performed at A4=435Hz (Former European pitch).. There is too much early register shift at 440-442Hz. Want to get really smooth register breaks,, Try Verdis suggested A4=432Hz (12-TET)

The pasaggio in Bel canto, not means a change in the voice or in the fonation. but a change in the resonance space we are using. When you can use the diferent boxes of resonance we have, Pasaggio not exist.

Could someone please tell me the name of this documentary?

Is there a full version of this commentary? I can’t find it anywhere.

Para aquellos quienes buscan el nombre del Documental, parece ser ésto: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sm1js

What happened to the audio during the Handel piece? I love this guy’s voice.

I don't think Villazon's technique was the problem. His record label and management rode him like a race horse, and put him away wet as we say at the track. A shame he didn't learn to say no.....

Does he mention, that the passagio is F4-G4?

Hola! Muchas gracias por el vídeo... Una pregunta: Estas lecciones de Rolando Villazón, son parte de un documental más largo... Se podrá encontrar online? ... porque está muy interesante.. Y cuando se corta; uno querría seguir escuchando lo que explica... Es super didáctico!

Llegué a este video después de ver otros donde analizas técnicas de LM, Christian. Entiendo mucho de lo que dices y tambien entiendo, como fenómeno, que te ataquen pues estás tratando con "fans" y ahí no entran razones. Capto que te apegas al análisis de sus técnicas, carencias etc. Yo no me tomo a ofendido; me gusta mucho como cantan LM y Christian pero no me ciego a tus apuntes. La pregunta sería, ¿Qué cantante (s) pop latino ofrece mejor técnica según tu apreciación? En México está Gualberto Castro que a sus 70 y tantos sigue con muy buenas facultades pero se nota que es una voz educada, cuidada. Me gustaría vieras alguno de sus vídeos en vivo, preferible los recientes, de 10 años para acá. Saludos

Derbez en cuando?

Saludos desde los EE. UU. Muchas gracias por todos sus vídeos. Pero una pregunta: ¿Hay algunos vídeos suyos para enseñar como cantar con la resonancia de la cabeza más especificamente? Eso me ayudaría mucho. Gracias

Started really well and then faded into generic content. Villazon is/was a great singer and successfully modulated through the passaggio with virile strength. What exercises or awareness does he promote for this transitioning?

Can somebody please tell me the name of this documentary??!!

What’s the name of this song ?

Un coacervo di luoghi comuni sul canto...

my primo passagio is at c4 but my secondo is at Eb4 when i try ascending from g39(fully chest) but when i lighten voice my passagio shifts or breaks to head vice at f4/f#4 to directly to a4 ! what does this all mean ? i can sing d5 Eb5 with a really intense mix sort of voice which sounds feminine but my lows are really warm and masculine which decieves me whether i am a bari or not!

Please somebody help me with my doubt. (knowing that we have to feel in our chest too) With middle voice we have to feel vibration in our nose, isn't it? But, I'm a little confused, with high notes we have to feel the vibration in our nose too? or we have to go up between our eyebrows or head?

some one can tell me the name of the complete documental??? please

My vocal range is G2-B5(D6), my Passagio lies between F4-G4, and my tessitura is F3-G4, based from my speaking voice, and my head voice goes from G4-B5, while I can scream up to C6. Am I a baritone, baritenor, or a tenor, plus my timbre is mid-light, mostly light like young steve jobs and I'm 21.

Kalba įtempęs stygas,net aš pradėjau jausti!

I'm a teen singer, my middle voice starts at E3, my chest voice extends down to E2-F2 ish. My Passagio is about E-flat 4 (Sometimes it's E4). My voice goes into full head voice at around high A-flat. (That's when it becomes a lot lighter) E-flat 4 to G4 is my zona di passagi. I am only 16 as of the writing of this comment. What kind of operatic voice do you think I'll develop into? (I know the voice can change unexpectedly, but if my voice maintained what I've written, what operatic voice do you think it will become?)

okay so i don't know my vocal type at all... my lowest note is usually F#2 and I can reach F2 or E2 on good days (or like, when i just wake up cause im really groggy or something). I have NO IDEA how to mix and I'm really frustrated about that. I can belt (or at least I think I'm belting..? up to G#4. After that I go into falsetto (or at least... I think it's falsetto... and my highest falsetto note I have is F#5). anyone have any thoughts?

Keep pressing 1 or 7 whilst watching video for some mild amusement.

I'm not sure but I can't hit F#4 on head voice with out having trouble so I guess my passagio starts at G4

0:41 wow a F#5 right there

latrell Cruz you are a dramatic tenor

Can someone help me know what type of tenor I am? Low tenor? Lyric tenor? Tenor Leggiero? CounterTenor? My range is F2-B5 (without whistle register) Basically my full chest voice is F2 to G4 and then i naturally switch to headvoice. But i can push it up to Bb4 using nasal resonance. If i mix, i can belt notes up to Eb5-F#5. Notes after Eb5 become very heady tho. And then my falsetto goes to B5 ( i have touched C6 a few times) i have a medium weight to my voice not very dramatic. I can comfortably sing with full resonance in a low tenor and a lyric tenor range. I can sing In baritone range with support but not as great resonance as a low/lyric tenors range. My voice sounds similar to a Lyric mezzo/ contralto in her lower range. My voice is light but does have a dark timbre and a rich lower register. My falsetto is light and airy. I also lose resonance at Bb2 and I lose support at G#2 when i go really low. Im not the BEST at melismas also but i have great vibrato even in my whistle register and falsetto.

what if your passagio starts at Eb5 and ends at Bb5 (F5 is the last upper chest range before becoming a full mixed voice)? Am I a Countertenor?

Where is f4 f5 by willason?))))))

no se escucha el area de Hendel

Mr.bean plus long hair

Can someone help me please . I have a problem , I don´t know what type of voice I have . I go with three teachers and two say that they can´t determinate my voice , the other says that I´m a tenor but I need to increase my vocal range , I read on internet but I´m confuse because in one page says that a tenor range is from C3 to C5 , others from C3 to A5 , B2 to G4 , and my range is from B2 to F4 normal and to F5 with falsetto , I know that the color is important but with my vocal range I have more possibilties of been a tenor or a baritone? , because thats other thing I read that baritone range is from G2 to E4 , From A2 to F4 and even to B4 , sorry for my english , I´m learning.

After you heard the high notes from trained operas singers you forget them and move on to the next video.

Alguien tiene el video - documental completo?

Hey Guys Can i know my vocal type My voice ranges From B2 to B4 My passagio is At G4

What am I? I have a range of Eb1-D4 Falsetto is from F4-C7

Who is the man in the video?

Tengo 16 años, me gusta cantar, no se mucho sobre estas cosas al respecto,La nota mas baja que puedo producir es un C2 pero es airoso si hablo de ser una nota solida es E2 y donde recien empieza mi voz de cabeza o falsete (nose la diferencia) es un G4/G#4.Mi voz de cabeza falsete llega hasta un C6, incluso un poco mas alto hasta un F#6/G6 mas o menos pero suena chilloso y no me gusta porque me fastidia un poco la garganta.Bueno quisiera saber que tipo de voz tengo.

my idea for rock singer or hard rock singer is "loop the part of a classical song"nessun dorma for example.. repeat always the same part,chorus,don t care about the whole song,you need the big hit.. btw you can achieve nuances in a 2 time.. most coaches teach you about whole song for breath feeling but for me is important learn the high notes. maybe you can be a monster in high c and a weak in other part,but in rock you destroy all the dudes.. loop classical,the part you want,master it..

Who is this tenor?? Dont know, not popular in the world)

Acho que o vídeo seria muito bom se fosse possível ouvir algo além da narração, a partir dos 3 minutos no vídeo!

This may be interesting in a historical context, but for students it's completely useless!! No description of what he actually does with his voice- it’s an ego trip, unfortunately. I do admire him as a singer, though

I want that voice more than i want Luciano Pavarotti's voice

Fix the audio of the video!!

No se escucha la voz del tenor cuando canta?

Really? bring the chest voice up into the high notes?

Why am I watching this? I'm a baritone.

Mute the audio and watch him sing.

y el baritono ?

His voice is the same to Jonathan Antoine's

Mr. Bean

Chest resonance, mask resonance, all is about resonance not about voice.

why am I not hearing the music??? C'mon youtube this is educational WTF????

Sem som.

I appreciate the full voice sound of the tenor singing high C but I don't think that it is good for the voice. I think the old masters had the right idea, sing falsetto on the high notes. The voice will last longer and be healthier.

Farinelli was a castrato not a tenor

When we speak of great voices, Villazon is near the top!

Incredible. Learn technique from a voice wrecker who wrecked his own voice within only five years.

Chest voice from F4 - G4 is for baritones 🙄🙄 If you want pure tenors, and not high baritones, then it should be A4 - C5

my teacher sent me this- man what is this o.o

Pool

This is simply wrong. Mens voices do not have “zones”. They have one register: the Chest. This goes all the way to the top. Thereafter you simply Open up the voice and sing in pure head. (NOT falsetto). See Rockwell Blake’s discussion of this. Only female voices have “zones” (head, middle, and chest).

justamente todo lo contrario a lo que dice Kraus o Loforese...

So can you believe opera directors, professionals really believed Villazon can offer advice on vocal technique??? What a joke this industry is

There is no passagio.

Ma chi e questo che parla per technica vocale. Tenore diletante.

If Mr. Bean were a tenor.
