Thank you so so much for this video. I’m a vegan and training as an opera singer. I’m 21 and everyone involved in music keeps telling me that I’ll never be able to sing properly if I don’t eat meat and other animal based products. I recently discovered you and I adore your voice and your technique is so freaking amazing. Thank you for proving that one could be a world-class singer, healthy, and vegan! Sending lots of love your way

Lisette, I used to sing, and I succumbed to all of the things that you mentioned. I miss singing a lot, but having been away from it for several years I have a new perspective. I just wanted to say how brave you are to mention these things. I wish that I had this series of videos when I was starting out in my career. I lost a lot of weight as well, and my voice suffered from it, and even when I was below my “ideal” BMI weight, companies would constantly have meetings with me about my weight. It was crippling for me. I was torn between pleasing those that hire me, and what my voice needed to thrive. - I’m so grateful for your support video!!! You really are a blessing to not only opera and singers, but to the world in general. Thank you!!!

I also wanted to say... I would have loved to have you as a mentor. I am a full lyric tenor, but I feel like your guidance is exactly what I needed. It’s too late for me, but I appreciate the time that you took to make these videos. And thank you for being sincere and truthful!!!

Hi Lisette! I know this video isn't that current anymore, but I just wanted to thank you for being so kind and honest in it! I'm going to be singing in a performance tomorrow (my first since the pandemic hit) and your advice has helped me feel much more at ease with it. Love all your videos, and thanks so much again!

A weird question! If you're allergic to dust how do you get along in old opera houses, sometimes wearing the same costume that was worn by many singers before doing the same role with the same staging, often the backstage is very dusty. What do you do?
@LisetteOropesaSoprano5 жыл бұрын
I try my best to just deal with it; it's not so bad for me most of the time, the theaters are usually pretty good about trying to control it. But if necessary I have to blow my nose onstage! haha

@@LisetteOropesaSoprano🙏🙏🙏omg thanks for responding me, and so quickly! I love this series of videos and you inspire me to start running now even though it has been probably my least favorite activity throughout all of my life. When we see singers on stage they seem so peefect and it's easy to forget they were students like us, with the same struggles. Thank you 🌸

I have a question about weight loss and singing, did you feel a difference when you sing in terms of sensation or anything in particular after weight loss? I am a young singer and lost around 20 kilos in the last 8 months and when I sing nowadays, there's a difference in feeling when I sing.

MabelJoan yes but I lost it quite slowly over time so I had a chance to get used to it. Try to engage from a lower place in your abdomen and keep your alignment long, your breath supported!

hi, first of all thank you for these videos, they're very helpful. I have a question.I'm 17 years old and i want to be an opera singer. I love coffee so much and i nearly drink it everyday.If i have rehearsal or a concert i don't drink it that day. Do you think it's okay if i avoid it only before concerts and rehearsals or should i just quit it all together. I want to do what's best for my voice and i'm ready to stop drinking it if it will affect my voice badly in the long run. Thank you so much
@LisetteOropesaSoprano4 жыл бұрын
Hey there, I don't have problems with coffee except it can be drying so I just try to stay extra hydrated when I know I have to sing, and don't drink coffee maybe right before a performance. Also, what are you putting in your coffee? It's possible that other things in it like milk and/or sugar could be affecting you. Hope this helps!
@denizbilim4924 жыл бұрын
@@LisetteOropesaSopranoThis is very helpful. By the way, i don't add anything to my coffee. I drink it black. So, i don't think that's a problem for me. Thank you so much

Is being a dancer bad for an opera singer? I'm 17 and I currently do ballet and contemporary. Is that bad? Some people tell me dance and opera shouldn't go together...
