Mozart’s “Il mio tesoro” from Don Giovanni 

I am learning this aria at the moment and really enjoyed the performance, thank you!

Absolute legend and inspiration - hope our paths will cross in the future x

Dude this is a difficult song and it doesnt matter for a masterclass. You have an amazing voice! I knew that muscle will eventually do well. It is a good step. Wish you all the best~

Yes! Agreed. May I ask with whom you’re working right now? Thank you!

Thank you Aaron for your performance here. I stumbled across your WTF videos today, which are tremendously fun. I found this particular performance very impressive and inspiring. Yes, perhaps there was some manipulation, and you were probably working harder than you needed to. But your talent is here so so evident, and you were 20! The fact that you could get through this difficult aria at all, not to mention at such a high level and with so much vocal personality - just two years following your voice change - is amazing... especially given that your voice is not light. Anyone in their right mind would be jealous hearing this. Unfortunately, there are some people here on RU-vid who make it their mission to enlighten everyone else about vocal technique. I actually agree with some of what they have to say. But they have clearly just read what a select few vocal experts have to say (I doubt many of them sing themselves), and have so much time on their hands that they fanatically go from video to video commenting on how people are ‘underdeveloped,’ ‘small-voiced,’ ‘ingolata,’ lack chest voice’ (in the case of female singers), etc.. The fact that they can say that about your performance here goes to show that they are not listening charitably, are just looking for opportunities to be negative, and have no conception of what vocal development looks like. Anyone with even a bit of a clue would know that this is an astounding performance for a 20 year old. In any case, thanks for this performance, and I look forward to hearing more!

Thank you for your comments. We're glad you enjoyed it.

@@carnegiehall you're welcome! I look forward to hearing more from you and your amazing instrument!

Thanks for listening! We're glad you enjoyed this master class.

We're glad you enjoyed this video, thank you for watching!

She should have some knowledge of the great singers of the past, in general.

"All male voice are the same, and should sound the same except for a couple of tones higher or lower and slightly darker or brighter timbre. Only makes her own lack of technique more evident" I agree with you on this statement. Mrs. DiDonato has modern singing technique, which is understandable for her to say that... The ingolata voice will ruin your career. Now he is young and can sing like this (forced) but he must solve his problem of tension on the gola, improve his thoracic capacity (nonexistent) and to get better his central voice better, he must stop the highs and ornaments with the voice. ..this creates more tension. He should sing simpler songs to improve his technique. Mozart does not have simple music.

To me his timbre sounds baritone-like. Do you think he could have "heldentenor" potential?

@@OGrauMusic I always found it to be madness to have young singers start off with singing Mozart! As if everybody begins with a light voice.

@@danawinsor1380 It's impossible to tell. The darkness is created through tensions and a depressed larynx. So of he manages to open up his voice naturally, more or less any timbre can come out. And that's what's so exiting with belcanto - everybody has a unknown sound in their body waiting to be unleashed.

La señora dice mucho blablabla sin sentido, y da muchos pésimos consejos.

Ingolatissima!

I'm afraid that I have to agree with you

oltre che ingolata, penso sia sbagliata per il ruolo di Don Ottavio. C'è bisogno di una voce leggera non pesante come questa
