lol I like his speaking voice. The accent sometimes throws me, but the voice is soft and resonant. And he has the sweetest laugh.

Alfie's voice is just unfair. Natural talent plus hard work. There is no substitute.

LOL So many people here are debating how high Alfie can go. What that top note was. Meanwhile, he spends half this clip explaining to Matt he spent his time working on the bottom of his voice. Not to show off, but because that's what the songs and the character demanded. That's a true artist. It's the story and the music. And that's why his "Bring Him Home" goes straight to the heart.

Alfie boe is just amazing! Love his voice!

I am in LOVE with Alfie Boe! He seems like such a sweet, funny and kind person. Not to mention is a supremely handsome and beardy with a voice like a god. Also, it doesn't hurt that here he's wearing a soft gray t-shirt and track pants....could he look anymore delicious?! I think not. *swoon*

Wierd to see Matt Lucas relatively shy and modest here when his character is so cruel and despicable (yet very entertaining). Despite this clip being short, Alfie Boe's tips were still very helpful

I have yet to see someone do, in my opinion, Jean Valjean better than Alfie Boe. I watch the 25th anniversary now and I still get chills.His voice is not one you come across often, and he is absolutely amazing! Colm Wilkinson is right up there with him, but Alfie Boe is still my favorite.

To set the record straight, Alfie went from TVR as a body shop apprentice mechanic to a year with D'Oyly Carte Opera Co working in the chorus on tour. He then went on scholarship NOT to a performing arts school but to the Royal College of Music where he got his degree having studied and sung opera. He then went on the National Opera Studio where he got his masters. Although Alfie hits a top C often (look at performances of Living Prayer, Che Gelida Manina) as stated by Alfie the top note in Les Mis is a high B at the end of 24601 which is the last bit of Who Am I. The note on the word Flight at the end of the prologue although startling because of the way it is sung, is not as high as a B. And to assume that a man who has a masters degree in music doesn't know what note he is singing, seems rather ludicrous. For more details read Alfie - My Story - it's all there.

I would want singing lessons from Alfie Boe

...it took me like 6hours to get Alfies little joke about "high baritone, drugged up tenor" 0:53. Didn't register the first time I heard it. Had to come back to watch again to be sure he said that...

I love Alfie Boe so freaking much im literally shook by his performance

What a blessing...a singing lesson from Alfie Boe!! Amazing grace!!!

It would've been so funny if it was like: "Do you know your vocal range?" "uh,no, but, yea, but, no, but, yea, but, no......"

"So if i go backstage theres gonna be lots of chocolate around?" "Yep that sounds fantastic"

The 10th anniversary is the BEST.

Alfie is a very good teacher!

I love Alfie Boe!

This is great! Thanks!!!

Tips singing directly from Alfie Boe!!!

Alfie looks like Jesus.

The way Alfie sings it on stage, the highest note is the B at the end of Who Am I? I can't remember what note he hits at the end of Valjean's Soliloquy, but it's not as high as the B. I haven't watched the show in a while so my memory isn't perfect, but I'm fairly certain he's right. I'd expect him to be anyway, given that he's sung it so many times! :)

More! Please!!!!!!!!!

What a cool clip.

Alfie Boe...... Omg if i got a singing lesdon from him i would probably die.

Alfie seems like such a cool and calm person

i guess we'll never know the tips from his teacher.. :(

Oh my god, I've never heard him talking before! Alfie boe, a northerner!? Now I love him even more!

Never realised Alife Boe was from oop north! Love him all the more now.

I'd payed like 1millionofdollars to have a lesson like this.....

he's so cute omg

Aww, where's the second part of that? I was enjoying that.

ALFIE ALFIE ALFIE ALFIE ALFIE!!

Oh my goodness, he does!

Matt

He has the most perfect nose. And Hair. AND BEARD. Ermahgerd.

Oh wow. Thank you very much. It ends rather abruptly, is there a second part?

wow what a goood lesson

"What's the hardest part of the show for you vocally?" Is Alfie really expected to answer that question.

MATT LUCAS IS THE BEST!!!! HOOOIOOOOOO

This was really interesting. Too bad it is cut off at the end so abruptly.

Same here.

"where will she end this child without a friend." at 4:00 the word "friend" is middle C....and that's low for him...wow!

lol Matt keeps teasing him about that. Alfie just laughs. But he is very funny and very sweet, and his kindness is legendary among his fans.

started off that way... but from there he went to a performimg arts school to learn how to sing "properly"

That top b ....Matt oh yes we can all that Alfie ..😂😂😂😂

@Nicole Coyne nono, not the bit at the end of valjean's soliloquy, the but where's he's like 'took the silver took my flight' after he first meets the Bishop which goes up to the high C

Alfie Boe is a tenner... no shit 🤩😹 lol

I'm a low bass and this makes me feel both good and bad about my voice. On one hand that low note is not at all low for me. On the other I could never ever hit that high note.

"We're inviting you to no longer live with us"

He has like the perfect beard.

Alfie is unsurpassed as Jean Valjean, even though all the others have been amazing too! Blow ya sox off stuff!

"What about chocolate or Ice Cream?" And that cheesy grin!!

Nope, it's definitely a C, John Owen Jones and Ramin Karimloo both go to the D, which is (strictly speaking) correct as it within the chord. But I believe you're correct in saying that it's optional. I believe an F is what's written? Regardless, he still sings it, as such, a top C is his highest sustained note within the show.

***** Although he hit a C, I'm pretty sure that it's written in as an A. I once saw the show live and heard it like that (I could be wrong, of course, he may just not have been able to hit the note well...it's hard to tell because the only two Valjeans I've heard legitimately hit an exact note are Alfie Boe and the man I saw live).

Alfie! How could you forget about your top C in the prologue?

Where’s the rest of this

"how about chocolates and ice cream?"

@OscarNilsson910806 Alfie's teacher?! I want ALFIE!!! LOL

All this for him to sing baked potato 😂

Actually the highest note valjean has to sing is the high C in the bit with the Bishop after he steals all the plates and shit lol Alfie what you doing

*dashes off to buy some pineapple juice... :-) Hey, if it helps Alfie, it can't hurt trying it on me, right?

Lolz I always tell ppl not to eat chocolate. Kz it chokes me up :( but omg why didnt i find this soon?

If you really listen to stage versions (not concerts), that C is more of a yelp than a legitimate note.

WHAT WAS THE EXERCISEEEEEEEE TELL ME PLEEAASSSEE!

I drink pineapple juice all the time now :)

Matt Lucas didn't know how to sing properly? looking at him I thought he's been performing for years he was so good

Matt Lucas was in Bridesmaids

This should be interesting...

Sorry Alfie, but I do believe you sing at top C during the prologue. "Took the silver, took my FLIGHT!"

sure the highest note is a high b?? in the prolouge he signs a high C quite sure...im very sure...

I'm a counter tenor but need help

Just watch that you don't damage your teeth with all the pineapple juice. It is highly acidic, which eats away tooth enamel.

damn i wish i could marry aflie !!!

His speaking voice is so unlike his singing voice :D

i want to have Alfie's forearms. lol!

It's a C.

um...he hits a high C in "who am i" as well.

From what I heard, Alfie didn't have a teacher. Apparently he worked in a car garage and sang along to opera on his CD player, and his coworkers encouraged him to go on.

I'm biased. I was a better thenardier......but matt is more a reachful artist...we cant have everything.x love. ash.x

Don't you mean CONTRA tenor?

Is his beard like the perfect beard? Or is it the perfect beard? Was your use of the word 'like' really necessary? Are you trying to confuse me or is your use of the English language poor?

god I fucking hate Lucas as Thenardier. he is not nearly dark enough in the role
