Another fabulous one. Perfect how you break a song down. Sometimes going back to basics, can be hard work and may put some people off, but not me! If a singing job is worth doing, it is worth doing well, and if hard work is needed then so be it, it doesn't bother me! PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! THANK YOU. By the way, I have passed your link to a vocalist friend in America. We are in France, you in New Zealand. You're an international star!

Thank you so much! You are a wonderful teacher and your voice is absolutely mesmerizing!💐❤💫

why the hell is female voice track with this song; this is male voice aria, such is also the character

OH MY GOODNESS! I have sung this aria a few times but never been happy with it. I always felt there was something lacking, so I was looking for a video of it being sung "properly", and found your site! I realise now I have not been phrasing correctly in some parts, so I was immensely interested in your video. I kept pausing and trying to emulate the things you talked about - pronunciation etc, but when I sang it with you, it was the ICING ON THE CAKE! I truly feel I have just had a personal lesson with you. My thanks are absolutely meant and I have now subscribed. I class myself as a Crossover Lyric Soprano, though my main genres are top movie songs and songs by "the divas", and musical theatre (my first love). But I do sing some, what I describe as "light" opera, and I now feel that up until now I have missed out, and that I now feel you are my personal coach. YOU ARE FABULOUS IN YOUR APPROACH.

thank you so much for helping me throughout the piece, it was just like sitting in a live session !!!! I am so much confident about this piece .

Do you know what key this in? Im trying to find a karaoke version to sing for a competition but they all seem way high or low.

So I didn't really know what perfect pitch is but I have it. I'm autistic and I read that autistic people are up to 500x more likely to have perfect pitch than neurotypicals. I used to play piano but I played almost everything by ear (and thought that was normal lol). I remember sitting at a friend's house and she was playing a song and I started playing along on the piano just based on what I heard. She was amazed and I was like "can't everyone do that?" No, apparently not. 😅 I want to buy myself another piano and get back into playing because it was so much fun. And now I have extra motivation to do so! This time I'll try to learn to read music as well. Thank you for the video!

We’re so back!

So happy to see that you are settled. You look relaxed and happy that is an excellent breathing exercise and I’m going to start it immediately and add it to my routine. I’m so glad you’re back online.

❤

Thank you so much this really helped ❤

I am in Montreal, Canada. I love this song very much and have been looking for how to sing it correctly for many years. Today I finally found it. Thank you for your selfless dedication, which gives me the opportunity to sing this song well😂😂

Thank you very much. It is great tutoring 😊

❤❤❤❤❤❤Thank you beautiful

Excellent😂the cat is a master

Hi Lois. I find the visual and audio quality of your presentations to be excellent. Would you please share with me which Video Recorder you use for your presentations, as I would like to look at purchasing one the same for my own use. Thanks very much. All the best. JohnTruth

Hi Lois. It was quite by chance I saw this video come up on youtube just as I was getting into adding Ave Maria into my performance repertoire. I have to say a big thankyou to you for the time and effort you put into dissecting every aspect of singing this song with good diction and breath control. I will never be a singer as gifted as Mario Lanza (whose highly emotive performance of Ave Maria is on youtube for posterity), but thanks to you, I can now put an even better effort into singing what are very simple verses of lyrics, but which need very careful mental consideration as to how to project the appropriate emotive impact into performing this song so that it moves the mind and soul of those listening to it as one surely intends. In my performance, I also play one whole verse through on the Harmonica between each sung verse. I find that the melancholy sound of the Harmonica really adds to the emotive impact it has upon my audiences. Have a great day !

This helps a lot but I'm still struggling. Do you have anymore tips?

Hi, I love this. Can you also please teach this song in German? Thanks!

Lovely video! Thank you for putting these beautiful arias in a lower key. I have to sing soprano all the time (choir) but am really a mezzo and I thought this was out of reach. 🌹

feels so weird i have perfect pitch and i didnt even come from any musical relativity or anything

As Italian this is very easy trallallerotrallala 😂 “ Tra voi tra voi saprò dividere…” From “libiamo nei lieti calici” I hope you’ll sing that soon

Thank you Lois for this fabulous breakdown of ‘Caro Mio Ben’. Your lessons on song repertoire are invaluable to me. I have only just reached the point in my singing journey of being able to sing the higher notes of this song with relative ease and freedom. So I much appreciate your guidance on this and other songs that I look forward to singing. I also play piano, so I plan on accompanying myself.

Brava 👏

Thank you for breaking this down. My vocal teacher challenged me to do this song since Im a heavy rocker guy! I took him up on it and its been a great experience learning something different and new since i never heard it before and never spoke Italian! Your breakdown is amazing and very easy to follow. Even an old fart like me stuck in my ways can do something different. Love your voice too.

complimenti per la pronuncia italiana

Hello Another fabulous video, thanks. This video is called Tutorial n° 1. Does it mean that there is n° 2 one ? I have'nt found it. Can you tell me ? Thanks again for those precious "conseils" as we say in France 😉

Hi, I’ve just come across this video before I go to sleep…. I can’t wait to practice along with you in the morning 😁 what a wonderful video to create for dreamers like me 🙏I’m going to absolutely belt this 😆

❤you are always so sweet and kind to teach us for free all the singing and speech tricks. As a foreigner myself have difficulty with this and your video helps me a lot
