But shouldnt a countertenor as well sing with a full vocal cord closure? A "h" before words will avoid the glottis. That means no good squillo but airy sound.

@@thevoicepath you're not placing the "h" before every word. Sometimes you have to improvise to achieve what you're trying to accomplish. That means breaking the rules for that moment. It's called "being creative!"

@@zacharylavender1568 I dont understand why to create problems to solve them afterwards.

@@thevoicepath you say it's creating a problem and I say it's solving a problem for the moment. We agree to disagree. And it's ok. Please do not make this a big deal. It's not. Enjoy your day!

Yes, I see what you mean by this suggestion. I tried this in my countertenor voice.

Interessant wie unterschiedlich die Meinungen sein können:) Ich finde sie als Dozentin außerordentlich hilfreich. Den Text ins Legato einzubinden ist eine Fähigkeit, die Wunder für die Gesangslinie wirken kann. DiDonatos Legato ist meiner Meinung nach eine ihrer großen Stärken als Sängerin. Und mit wieviel Hingabe Murrah am Ende die Leute im Publikum ansingt hat mich wirklich berührt. Was ist denn falsch daran ein Countertenor zu sein? Ich verstehe, dass manche Leute Countertenöre einfach nicht mögen, aber wenn er das Gefühl hat, dass das sein bestes Fach ist, macht es doch Sinn dabei zu bleiben. Er klingt auf jeden Fall sehr vielversprechend.

That's not what Joyce meant.

20:30 to end. Is it an "insult to his talent"?

You were reading my thoughts..

Hi, Rex. Please know, that couldn't be further from the truth. My approach to most teaching I do is to bring a kind of lightness to a study and discipline that notoriously takes itself VERY seriously (for good reason, as it's unbelievably challenging.) I find that most singers, if they can occasionally laugh at the process or themselves to a certain extent, will then start to gain a freedom in their approach where the learning and growth will begin to happen exponentially. It's not the only approach to be sure - but it is mine, and often times it brings beautiful and unexpected discoveries. I understand your take on my bringing up his day job - but I did it for a few reasons: #1 to drive home a big point that there are many people out there with HUGE talent that haven't yet broken through. (I was a waitress for 10 years while trying "to make it") My sincere comment that he should make the commercial had NOTHING to do with my belief in his potential to have a huge career in opera (which I believe not only is possible, but should happen!), but it was more to make the point of how effective the combination of his beautiful singing and his personal story would be on demonstrating what the idea of "Comfort" is all about ... which he then went on to gorgeously and profoundly demonstrate in real time. So please be assured that my belief in Keymon as a person and as an artist - is total.

20:30 to the end. Is it condescending?

Telling the truth is not condescending. And Joyce is the one of the most generous people out their. Sometimes teaching require more than kid gloves. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I read it as levity, as criticism with a wink.
