pretty sure she's a Broadway star

Its called her fiance was killed in a hit and a run and he was pushing her to break free of collecting checks from Broadway.. Since his death 10 years ago, she has yet to accept a long term theater gig. She has maintained wanting to make great INDI R&B music

Sean Yates She got into Musical theater again last year in Waitress. (Idk waitress as well as others). She wanted to bring the people she loved closer in her live Since Tyler’s death. Also I see you like everywhere

@@syworld82 She did waitress and that other one recently

I FUCKIJG KNOW SHDHDHDJ

Shoshana is a Mezzo Soprano. She can sing low and high notes. She auditioned for Glinda because her voice fit the role. Her personality and physical appearance is more Elphaba. They loved her audition so much that they casted her as the Elphaba standby.

Hi. Genuinely curious, what do you mean with sounding higher than they are? They are indeed higher notes on average than what she sings in belting. Head voice gives them that round and pleasant sound allowing for a different more mellow phrasing, though actually you can make head voice, if we mean the register (m2 or partial fold function), sound like belting if you use more compression, twang and open vowels. By alto range we might mean up to F5 in head voice and C5-D5 in belting, but altos too can actually sing over F5 in head voice.

Oblomov hans Shoshana though is a classically trained mezzo soprano. She was trained in one of the most prestigious musical conservatory programs. I always say musicals type casted her but her voice showcased why type casting annoys me. Fyi bless the lord in godspell and Elphaba in wicked were both written for a Mezzo Soprano's They just got type casted and viewed as Alto roles. Shoshana,however, is probably the only elphaba that honestly had Glindas range.

She is actually a self-professed soprano.... which is obviously presented in this Porgy and Bess. She just sings more pop and such. She's a very versatile singer. I've worked one of her shows, in which she told the audience that she is a soprano

Austin Peek yes, Shoshana is actually the only (as of now I’m working on it) soprano in my family all of us are Altos or Lower. My voice isn’t matured but I’m gonna be a mezzo.

not if you're trying to book anything that you could actually play

La Talullah The range of characters and vocals it shows though is Amazing. I'd be like yeah let's book her

I see you like everywhere When Shoshana Bean is in the video lmao

Sean Yates yeah you clearly don’t know that much about musical theater lmao...

You need to make it 15 bars, at least for broadway. Kinda hard to do with all these songs

There's no Maureen song in this.

too busy playing a witch on Broadway

I think it's that she is white, but go off

Tim Stetar lol sometimes it’s his concentration face

What is THAT supposed to mean?

"If she wanted"...? She is an acclaimed Broadway performer. I mean, this comment is just.... 😤🔫

she is singing legit. Did you miss the "Bess You is My Woman" part? The comments on here are hilarious

Sing "legit" means to sing classically sounding. It is a term that vocalists and music majors use.

WishUponAStar tilt your thyroid. whimper like a dog. you'll feel it tilt. you thyroid tilted at first, and then you going thyroid vertical. you can get it back. whin or complain like a little kid. or whimper like a talk. feel underneath your chin.

your thyroid is a gland. It is not part of the somatic nervous system, therefore it does not respond to commands. What you're feeling is your vocal folds. To control your vibrato you need strong breath control and correct placement of the pharyngeal muscles and tongue. It is mostly about relaxing the throat and having good diaphragmatic and core muscle support

He meant the thyroid cartilage, rather than the actual thyroid. If we allow the vocalis muscle (which composes the vocal folds) to decontract, such cartilage is actually tilted town by the tensor of our vocal folds as they lengthen and thin. Thinning gradually allows for less resistance of the folds to airflow, which helps keeping high notes under control.

La Talullah I feel I have terrible technique but I have good vibrato

ooo havent heard most those songs. Sound amazing. Those belts!

hahaha so true

Aida, The Life, Once on This Island, Rent, The Wiz, Dreamgirls. There's actually very little Audra in this medley.

This is la chanze's resume minus porgy n bess

@@MuzzyBarker Audra was in Dreamgirls tho. the Actors’ Fund Concert of it

@@asnalelo.165 There remains very little of Audra in this.

Cool Kid it’s the intro of chicago right before all that jazz

@@mkbryan0409 OML bless you

Nah, not really. She is white, and in a professional setting, she is much more socially conscious than that.

Because these are all songs traditionally sang by African American women

and one by an African American man

Even with Obama as President?

Well, she can sing them, clearly. she would never be cast as these characters, is what is really meant.

I know right!?!?

I'm w/ you her performance would be stunning!

But Aida is an African princess so...

So you just... Recommended blackface, which speaks volumes. Basically, the point is there are plenty of roles she can still play that doesn't require her to appropriate another groups culture, so she is aware enough to not play them

?!

Andrew Koehler what's not to understand?

"pulling faces" Are you meaning that she should stop feeling what she's singing. I don't think that phrase means what you think it means. But if you have a video of you singing, I guess we could better judge?
