Hello, i discover your work and it is very complete, good job. I'm not qualified to determine the level needed for a career in theater, musicals, or singing, but I can assure you of one thing: the technical quality of your videos (in terms of sound quality, image quality, editing, and mixing) is far below your artistic level, which really approaches professional or already is. These technical flaws do not showcase your vocal work or your commitment to acting (on stage in any type of performance). I think this is a major limiting factor in your development if you aim to gain visibility. I advise you to seek out forums, semi-professional groups, or competent teachers to acquire equipment and technical basics, starting with a microphone and a camera (without necessarily going for the most expensive options). For stage performances, the editing and lighting of your video 'It's All All Coming Back to Me Now' is a good minimum. The handheld theater mics are adequate but may not be suitable for singing like yours, which is very lyrical and with large volume differences. Consider using a microphone stand on stage. For your face-cam videos, focus especially on the sound, including that of the actor delivering lines in the background. Generally speaking, for singing, you could look into how to mix your voice, perhaps by adding a bit of reverb (a commonly given first piece of advice). For those two last aspects, a good example could be the "All By Myself" cover by - Lucy Thomas Music? I hope this can help if you wish, and good luck!
HOLY MAZZILLO, Abby!!!!!!!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your honestly hot vibrato!!!!! I don't know if you've been doing the trill technique (which according to voice scientist Joyce DiDonato is the healthiest way to avoid an all-too-common "wobble" vibrato) but it definitely sounds like you're on the right track! Keep at it, girl! ...Speaking as a... blind, BAGPIPER dare I mention myself! (and Mazzillo by the way is the name of my favorite deceased Italian bagpipes maker. A 1970s recording of him playing a set can be heard on my channel LOL).
4 years ago I was ubvolved with a local community theater production of PIPPIN. We had auditions, cast the show, started rehearsals for music, dance, and blocking. Then we had costumes made and sets constructed and got to the point where it was TECH WEEK and tickets had been selling rapidly. And 48 hours before curtain on opening night...COVID shut us down PERMANENTLY and it was DONE>
Gorgeous!! I love your new headshot!! Just curious, the "Wizard and I" (which was beautiful) was that an audition during COVID? Just wondering where you were behind plexiglass lol. Great job on every song!!!
HOLY MAZZILLO!! I like your vibrato. Sometimes, rate-wise, it's amazing (around 6.5 movements per second), but other times it's kind of slow at around 5 or so. I don't know if anyone told you this but apparently, according to one of the top opera singers Joyce DiDonato, a slow vibrato is actually not good for the voice. Yet, a whole lot of voice teachers have these "wobbles" themselves and are tragicly teaching people to develop wobbles instead of vibratos, because they take wobbles completely for granted and think this is how vibrato should sound. This is why styles like Theater and mostly opra are pretty much dying out with fewer and fewer people interested in them. But I'm not a singer, a bagpiper in fact. In bagpiping, the faster finger-vibrato a piper has, the more dexterous their fingering is. Whoever says that slow vibrato is a must should be screwed! I swear that if vibrato gets slow enough, which it sadly is across several singers, most singers are going to sound like a firetruck siren. If I were to gently suggest anything, I could let you know that some of my favorite singers - Denise Leigh, Abby Fischer, Emma Matthews, Alexa Chernyshova, Erika Miklosa, let's give credit to the great Idina Menzel for good measure! etc - got their amazingly dexterous voices by learning the trill technique, at least for the opera singers. Joyce DiDonato has a video that talks about how to develop the trill technique and I'm sure with a little practice this will make your voice sound more amazing. No offense, don't take this too hard. It might also be helpful to know that evolutionally, people had faster vibratos as singers, and a slower and slower vibrato almost reminds me of the unhealthy food epedemic... partly because most of us are sighted, maybe? Perhaps we don't have as good an ear as someone like, Denise Lee? Her voice is just stunning. Although, on the positive side, some of your notes have a super amazing vibrato hovering around 6.5 to 7! So I should praise you for that! Don't worry, it's not a consistent wobble. I just want to point this out before a wobble takes a toll on your voice because wobbles are irreversable in most singers. A wobble starts out around 5.5 oscillations per second. (and Mazzillo by the way is the name of my favorite deceased Italian bagpipes maker. A 1970s recording of him playing a set can be heard on my channel LOL).
I found you when I was given "Princess" as a judges challenge in a competition, and you sang that so beautifully! But this! Omg, so so good, you really need to audition for Elphaba!! Awesome!
