00:01 A level = Diction guide - Recitative « Allons ! Il le faut ! »

04:31 (A) Air « Adieu, notre petite table »
08:02 B level = clearly spoken text - with pictures and english translation

A level : in the first part, step by step, I have made the choice of a quite sustained voice : a little moving in the frequencies, but freely, not the same way as in the aria. You can make it your own way, of course.
- B level : In the second part, I have simply “spoken” the text. When you know the text by heart this way, you don’t need the first part anymore ! The images are intended to help imagination and memorization. (With english translation)
For the french [r] : you can flip it (just one flip, don’t make a heavy roll), especially for classical singing. I suggest this choice because it’s historically correct, more understandable, and because it’s easier. Here I used the french spoken [r], so you can hear what it sounds like from a native.

Speaking or singing in french is not only about phonetics or how to sing vocals and consonants, it’s a particular flow, with legato and subtle stresses.
