I learned nothing, it's nonsense that every one can do it..Every one can be a vocal Elon Musk, nonsense

Que de chemin parcouru ! Cette captation me tire toujours des larmes... mille merci ET BRAVO

This is also where I would put myself. I seem to have a full baritone and tenor range even extending low and high for both but my voice seems to literally sit/rest right in between the two so now that I can sing well I can actually do both well.

Just marvellous ❤! Apart from the superb voice and acting, the German pronunciation is impeccable 👏👏👏!

💜

lol, so true I thought I was a baritone but couldnt go far A2 with volume... then started training high notes and easily started hitting C5

I find this super interesting and am trying to learn how to do it as a fellow opera singer! I'm finding that I'm having a difficult time practicing without creating quite a lot of tongue tension which ends up being quite vocally tiring as of course all of that is connected to the larynx. I would be SO interested to hear more about this from you and how you produce the sounds in a way that is complementary to an opera technique!

Where and when was the performance?? I had no idea youd ever done this one!

Caruso is actually believed to have died from a stage accident. A prop collapsed and crushed his abdomen and lower chest during a Samson and Delilah performance. It was pretty bad, just FYI, nut from the sources in his Wiki article: The day after it happened, he "suffered a chill and developed a cough and a "dull pain in his side". A few days later during a L'elisir d'amore he began "spitting blood as a result of a mouth or throat haemorrhage and the performance was cancelled at the end of Act 1". Within a couple weeks "the pain in his side was so excruciating that he was screaming". Drs finally correctly discovered the purulent pleurisy and empyema. He "lapsed into a coma and at one point, nearly died of heart failure". He did recover enough to live a few more months but eventually he got so bad "Drs commended that his left kidney be removed". But on his way to italy for the operation he crashed, and died that day from "peritonitis arising from a burst subphrenic abscess". Its basically an infection that obliterates the diaphragm and surrounding organs, its...exactly as bad as it sounds even NOW, let alone in 1921.

Do you use the same technique to sing the tenor range and baritone range

Amazing man for sure I am amazed at his talent and ability to make it sound like it’s a breeze and it’s not at the same time

Bjorling was magnificent I loved his voice such a beautiful Timbre

Very physically strong 💪

My teacher, Edward Dwyer (one of the great vocal researchers and pedagogues and a tenor), used to laughingly say that NO ONE is really a tenor. If you can develop those high notes, YOU'RE A TENOR! : )

Dude is baritone. The end. Lower voices can stretch it to higher notes but the quality of the sound is not the same and no comparison to a legit tenor that sings with proper technique (and not the nonsense they do now). As a matter of fact, I’ll say our baritone here sounds like a modern tenor. Big difference. For example, does he sound like del Monaco or Corelli? Of course not, and never will because he is a baritone. It’s pretty common to find baritones that label themselves as tenors and sing as tenors and not as baritones because they seriously believe they r tenors and viceversa; and they sound like shit. This also happens with low sopranos thinking they r lyric or colorstura sopranos and sing very high stuff and sound like a joke even tho modern audiences find it impressive. I once met a delusional alto that thought she was a lyric soprano… Opera has become a circus really.

I feel so identified by you, lol, I have and still do the same

Karen Armstrongwas a terrible soprano.Sorry.She sang because she was married to a famous german Theater und opern direktor.Same with Anja Silja exept she was not married to the big elephant.

I appreciate this so much. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I remember you from way back when I stumbled upon your Siepi imitation video, and the Rigoletto. You already sounded so good back then. Seeing your recent performance videos, it all makes sense. It makes sense just how well-rounded and deep of an artist you are. Truly amazing. In awe.

Michael has the best of both worlds in that he’s excellent as a tenor but has the stronger baritone speaking voice. I have a good tenor singing voice but my speaking voice is, to put it mildly, not very impressive. If you are old like me think of the tv show “Get Smart “

What kind of singing work did you do while still developing your tenor voice?

I feel U are are equivalent of a lyric dramatic or spinto colorstura soprano .many many big coloratura sops has a very wide range(with wide chest register

You're saying exactly what I've been trying to say for 20 years...I'm exactly where you are and where your voice lands.

No more stupid Fach system and as someone wrote and i totally agree '' Composers in scores write Tenor for example , Not Leggero or Lyric or Spinto or Dramatic ''.Every Classical Singer should sing Whatever He or She Likes.

i soo understanding this 0_о , sorry for my English but total about my situation same problem! Can I ask you in instagram please?

Bravo also for the accent. you sound like a reel french !

What if you can't sing lower than an A and can't sing higher than a G above middle C? I think you and I have extremely similar voices. I don't have the lower octave though.

He didn’t really answer the question how I developed my tenor range.

Salut , je m'appelle Calixte, j'ai 10 ans , je viens voir Lohengrin à Strasbourg demain 19 mars ,je te souhaite une bonne représentation

Fellow Springfieldian!! I studied opera at MSU for 3 years.. my sister did ballet and I did opera. It wasn’t necessary but omg I learned so much from others. Such an amazing experience

i can relate to you , i am a baritone but can sing in the tenor range, but it me years to develop it

Great!! Thank you so much!!

Michael, You are the best tenor of the 21st century! 👏I teach "Vocal Teaching Methodology" and "Singing History" at the university and I regularly show Your videos to my students. Thanks! We admire you! We understand You are very busy, but it is a pity that there are no new videos on the channel. Greetings from snowy Moscow ❤❤❤

so absurd, lol. A tenor that thinks he's a baritone by singing woofy and tongue tensed/forcing the larynx down. And the fact that he thinks he has a low speaking voice is hilarious, legitimate baritones speak lower than he does (search cornell macneil for reference).

This brought back memories of my grandmother. She was a child dancer in the 1920s and had many stories. One performance she danced right off the stage and landed in the lap of one of the brass players! Stay safe and thank you for the beautiful singing.

I got nothing. I'm a baritone attempting to be a tenor and Micheal just suggests that is fine, other than the fact I am 70 and there is no getting past the 4 octaves. I was pretty much born with

Although I'm a rock/pop singer, I have always categorized me as a baritenor. My influences have been David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, and even Elvis. I find that they range in that sweet spot. I've been active since 1985 fronting several groups, opening for majors acts, and was the 10-year frontman to the late Jorge Santana (97-07). Have been releasing well-received original music singles since 2020. You can catch more at my channel, but I'd be curious to hear if I'm in that category according to you ears! Thanks!

It's more than super true. . Most singers do not even understand overtone singing . But, they don't deserve to know it singing unhealthy, and getting hurt later on around vocal box

Julian Zimmermann did this with the natural (Baroque) Trumpet. What happens on the outside of the mouth (trumpet) is what is happening on the inside of the mouth (harmonic overtones). Michael, you should talk to him. He's a nice guy and sharp. He's becoming famous. Watch this: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2bPl2CZndymkMU&pp=ygURanVsaWFuIHppbW1lcm1hbm4%3D

Hallo.I'm pianist and Singer from Poland, but my Live going different like yours . I sing Pop, jazz , antertiment but sometimes Mozart bariton Arien. Your speach open my mind , that maibe I can do more like I do. Thank You. This is my Show if You can Look will be grate. Wojciech kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJalnpajrq-hb6c

Hello. I think I'm a baritenor too. I have never studied vocals professionally, much less operatic vocals, but I am obsessed with the nature of my voice and the sounds that I am able to produce. my spoken notes are roughly G2-C#/D3. My general range is D#2-B5, sometimes C6. working range (chest, most likely) F2-F#4. bridge at about F/F#4. I can hit the G4 note, but with difficulty, on my chest. I recently sang and played notes A#/B4 mixed. The character of my voice is not too low, not too high. I'm not a professional vocalist, but I'm obsessed with it. I can’t really find any information about baritenor anywhere. Thank you for your attention and forgive me for my bad English, I am not a native speaker of this language and am writing through a translator. thnx

Great. This video become an inspiration for me. The hope to have a career is stil alive.

Époustouflant de talent vocal et d'interprétation ! Chanter en français est compliqué, souvent le texte est incompréhensible car mal prononcé. Votre diction est parfaite, vous avez une aisance en français digne d'admiration. Vous portez haut votre art d'interprétation créative et poétique, c'est tout à votre honneur et à l'honneur de l'art lyrique. Belle et riche continuation à vous pour le plus grand plaisir des amateurs de Bel Canto du monde entier ! God bless you .

So @Michael Spyres should we target the overtone are when singing opera?

By wobbling, removing normal chest function, and singing through my nose!

I did an overtone chanting afternoon with Jill Purce in the 1970s. I'm also an opera singer but didn't realise OC was also beneficial for voice. Jussi Bjorling was my Father's favourite tenor and there were many more, lesser known before him. We still have a fine collection of his 78s. It's also a very different training nowadays with certain modules taken out. Probably why modern opera singers look as though it's an effort to produce notes.

Really enjoyed this
