homão da porra

Hello! I follow your channel and regularly watch your videos. Care to share why he is not a good teacher for you?

@@paulryanarcolascountertenor ​ @paulryanarcolascountertenor Sure. And thanks for watching and following. // Based on this video: 1. He makes students who obviously are beginners (1-2 years of study) pay a lot of money to participate in a class where they don't belong; 2. He says nothing useful, quite the contrary: there is no tangible improvement; 3. He makes himself look good teaching students who know very little (fraud alert); 4. He pretends to be Italian while he really isn't (fraud alert) // Based on what I've been told by people I trust: 4. He is a cruel person who tries to hurt people when he doesn't like them. // Based on common knowledge: 5. He ruined many a singers' voice. // Yet, he successfully continues to sell his snake-oil knowledge. Where are his great students?

A useless teacher?!? Come on, I love your content, but I would strongly disagree with this. Mr LiVigni is one of the few teachers in the world who is truly competent in the Italian teaching tradition, as is very clearly evident if you were to watch the countless hours of him talking about the subject. His recorded lesson on KZbin that he took with Salvatore Fisichella (who I know you know is one of the last truly great Italianate tenors in the world) is fascinating, and he still goes to Fisichella as his primary teacher. Not to mention his most recent videos on KZbin, which are pearls of wisdom in a time filled with bad vocal pedagogy. Masterclasses are inherently poor ways of teaching anything and come across as sales pitches because there is practically nothing you can actually change with a singer in such a short amount of time. If anything, you should get angry at the inherent problems with masterclasses. Either way, please do some more research on Jack LiVigni. I’m in a similar boat with you in terms of being generally disillusioned with modern voice teaching, and he is such a breath of fresh air.

Afro Poli. His reputation precedes him. Consider the source and ignore.

Another one of these….tension for miles. Fix the jaw and tongue tension Jack! Col fiato is all I hear from everyone in this video. Sul fiato refers to a proper onset where the voice is immediate and vibrant right out of the gate with no waste of air. This means mentally directing the vowel into the body where the air is expelled in an opposing direction at onset. This requires mental preparation and coordination of your body. Col fiato is when it’s not sul fiato. In col fiato the direction of the vowel flows with the direction of the air instead of opposing it. Col fiato voices are shallow,bright, reedy and spread. There’s your free lesson.

....eh, actually more like Keven James

I agree. It's one thing to be critical and another thing to simply be rude.

Well said. And after his direction, I think there was a phenomenal improvement. I would say close to perfect.

Did you miss the part when they said he was a beginner and had only been studying for some months? Maybe try not being a dick..

You realize YOU'RE the reason young people are less and less inclined to go into the operatic arts right?

Get a life.
