Matthew… I’m the crazy lady who stopped you after rehearsal in Charleston a couple nights ago. I simply must tell you again how beautiful your voice is. My son (Andrew) is the spot light guy for you! He is a rising senior at the University of Michigan, majoring in orchestral performance. He’s a clarinetist! He was selected for an apprenticeship there at Spoleto. What a fabulous opportunity for him, and what a gift for me to have been able to sit in on your rehearsal.
Insane singing my dude, I dont know if you remember me this is Alec from NEC I listen to everything you put out. doing amazing things man I cant wait to one day hear you live!
Beautiful! You seem very natural and comfortable on stage. Please post more. I’m an old lady. I hope to live to see the great success which is surely coming your way. God bless you!
Matthew you are a wonderful singer! I loved your comment about pharyngeal expansion on the i vowel. To my ear your voice is beautifully balanced. May I PM you?
Absolutely wonderful singing, congratulations! Totally sold as your new biggest fan. I have a proposition for you, would it be alright if I private message you?
Please be careful with the high notes, you have to protect them, not only making them in the throat, but hold the larynx a little more down with your head straight and the sound will be perfect! Very nice sound for sure already!!!!!!!
Your space closes off on closed vowels like [i], [u] and [y], which gets pretty clunky as you shift between those and more open vowels which are more clear and spacious sounding. That’s my only critique and probably why you weren’t a winner. Generally you have a beautiful sound and a really nice approach to your passaggio. And what an exciting top. Hope to hear more!
evan abeling thanks for the input and the compliments! Considering closed vowels like [i, u, and y] are “closed” and I’m singing as close to pure vowels as possible it makes sense right? The space is in the pharynx for those vowels not in front. I would say assuming the reason I didn’t win being that would be a slight reach. You need to take careful comparison to those who won and why they won. If you’d like to talk about it in person I’d much prefer.
Yep, you can hear it from the first "e" he sang. I was like "he is just a high baritone and will sing a 0,002 s, throaty high notes or will have a big, big passagggio to cross to get to the high notes". Anyway i'm stuggling at it as well, doing pretty well on open vovels of "a" and "o", but my "e" is very crappy and i probably won't ever be able to do anything with it.
@@matthewwhite4495 Don't take tips from everyone. You're a potentially great singer. Seek out the very best teachers, do what you do for the love of it first and foremost and be earnest and you will have a great career.
