That's waay too much honour, but thanks for watching and your reaction! 😀

Thank you!

I'm not native speaker, not quite sure if this is positive or not. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed a bit.' Sincerely, Christof

Thank you my dear friend! ☺️

Dankjewel, Nathalie!

I aged well, thank you 😂

@@ChristofChapsis You really are amazing and so talented. Would you say how old you are? I really glad I found you and will subscribe.

@@kevin62387 This was in 2019, so I was 28 at the time. I really appreciate your kind words! ☺️ 🙏

@@ChristofChapsis So you're 33 now or will be soon. Stay young!

@@kevin62387 Correct! 33 haha

Bedankt voor je mooie woorden, de beelden, maar vooral voor wie je bent ❤️

He is the brilliant one. I'm just reproducing his masterpiece, at least I tried haha. Thanks for watching! :D

Dag Kurt, Dankjewel, "Unchained Melody" , love that song. Ik stak deze in een Rebroff/Chapsis jasje: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5m7maKKmKpjbJI (samen met de fantastische pianist Tom Dicke). Maar misschien wil je graag de originele versie ook eens horen, één van mijn fantastische fans/volgers van 't eerste uur nam al mijn optredens op. Ik upload spoedig dus ook nog een versie in de originele toonsoort! Dank voor het luisteren en je fijne reactie! Christof

Bij deze , staat online 😃

Thank you for listening!

Thank YOU for listening, I actually meant! :D

Absolutely. Vocal mechanisms are gender neutral. In fact, you pointed out one of the most "wrongly" expressed parts of this video. I was writing my thesis/master research at the time which was also linked to my own vocal-technical progress. If I would re-do this video, I would be more prudent in my choice of words. Thanks for watching!

@ChristofChapsis I studied voice in the late 1980s in Washington, DC USA with Todd Duncan, the opera singer handpicked by George Gershwin to be his original Porgy in the grand opera Porgy and Bess. This past May 7th, I sang the "Star Spangled Banner" at a professional baseball game and am expecting to sing again at a professional football game this fall. I would study with you to prepare because of your amazing voice and understanding of Dimash, but I need to do it in person. Best regards, JK Washington, DC USA kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKHOp3iKeKieqtksi=sSWhLHGwSSV9OEBq

Let's do that, what a big voice! (And splending personality, but that's bewteen you and me eh haha) :D

@ChristofChapsis Yes, I'd like to pay you for some lessons. If I get the US National Anthem football gig, I'll want to do even more. But in the meantime, we can do some. I plan to send you an email by the end of the week. Best regards, InfoArtist JK USA

I understand. Not only that voice, the original one has backing with the same "bop swedadiwap" that is an octave higher. We chose to find some authenticity . I could NEVER beat the original, much respect' Thanks for sharing this and for watching!

Hello dear singer, I'll try to answer with the information you gave. Flageolet is without a doubt beneficial for other registers, but what could be the problem here is that you start taking head voice/flageolet mechanisms too early/too low. Of course you also need some mass coming from the "other side", your chords at thicker length. I THINK you should work on strenghtening your low register in combination with your current exercice scheme. Slowly those two ends will come together, which will create a well developed mixed area for strong, powerfull high notes in the upper register (a bit different depending on the voice nature reserved for you). Be aware of what you are training during your practice.

@@ChristofChapsis Thank you so much for the thoughtful response!

Thanks Robert for taking the time to listen. Spot on analysis, my voice entered adulthood (Unlike me 😂)

I have no personal experience with that route of apprentice, but I gained a lot of controle in my vocal fry area THANKS TO flageolet training, so it would make sense. Try to do slides, starting in your cracky fry, all the way up in a thin sound (vertical projection) and keep the sound SMALL. This triggers me as avocal coach as well , keep me up to date! 😃

I summarised all registers in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3XZp6OFd8Z9sK8si=uVcatRS4Nl_A6BPC

Well, the word "patience" is always involved when flageolet passes by. It needs the EXACT amount of airflow otherwise you get no sound, cracks, yells , tension etc. Don't give up!

And this is why I'm getting a bit shy ,,,,😝🥹 Thank you!

Always keep in mind that you can move an audience without extreme high notes. Don't and never get too obsessed with it, because they won't come that way, I know that from personal experience haha. That been said, it's good that you keep singing a song even when you can't YET sing everything that's written. You will get there when you keep the persistance. Thanks for watching! Christof - Vocal Coach Master of Music

Absolutely! Vocal mechanisms are genderneutral 😀

You can send me an e-mail at [email protected] Not necessary, but include some specific things you want to work on. Thank you! Christof

Thanks! This is of course work in progress, but Robert is progressing soooo quickly, what a persistance!

Hello, apparentely you don't like the video. If it was just about me, I would not ask, but Robert isone of my studnts. We both know this is not the end result'. May I ask why you commented this? Sincerely

@@ChristofChapsis It's ok my friend continue with your practice.. you are doing great?! Not easy but with lots of training you will be there someday

@@howlim9587 I'm not the student 🤦‍♂️

This comment neither 😔 but if that's your opinion: I can handle the truth!

Minus oscar, and a filmography that is in a leaugue of its own. Thanks for watching!

💕

He will. Dat zal hij zeker doen ;) x

So sorry and thanks for watching!

It was you who sang that B5 .... :p

@@ChristofChapsisAnd you bear considerable responsibility for that too, Maestro. So, thank you, despite all the shattered ornaments. 😬

Thank you, Robert! Was a part of my final graduation piece. You can watch the full version (40 minutes) here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpOtgH6OnJhkZpI

Just turn up the volume and enjoy your trip down memory lane. Thanks so much for watching and reactin :D

And we'll continue the vocal journey! Looking forward to it 😃

It should gain more attention in the world of vocal education; that's for sure. Thanks for watching and reacting! =D Cheers, Christof Vocal Coach

I don't think your comment was offensive, but just to clarify. Of course these are just snippets from the lessons. I can't just "learn" someone to sing like Dimash, I totally can't, but he can be an enormous inspiration for every vocalist in terms of always trying to improve and get better. I never stated that Dimash didn't commit his whole life regarding vocal/musical training, he is extremely talented and a very hard worker. All kind regards, Christof

You forget only one thing: a lot of playback to preserve his voice. Nothing against anyone it is only reality. Dimash is marvellous.

@@MrFiore I think not sir, with all due respect. He knows full well how to protect his voice, and what you suggest would be a professional, cultural and religious anathema to him.There are several venues that require it, the Kremlin for one, and he abides by their requirements. He went through a phase of YEARS of waving the microphone in front of his mouth because of those accusations, to prove he was actually singing so disturbing, his fans thinking it a new mic technique. I grew up in Kazakhstan, my sister and friends went to uni with him, our parents friends from working on various charities together. He has.been in school and under a coach since the age of 5 the 3rd generation of professional musicians and vocalists, both his parents are, his mother an opera star, what you suggest unprofessional by their standards and unnecessary if properly done, the voice cared for professionally. He practices a minimum of 3 hours a day, more when performing or on tour. I sang onstage on Broadway as a professional from age 4, living with an aunt in Manhattan, my family in Kazakhstan (my Dad is a petroleum engineer there) we as " kid performers" rehearsed with a coach for 2-3 hours a day, did 6 shows a week and 2 matinees and in a lifetime of it, I've never known a professional to do it. Perhaps in the pop, rock genre, no other. Great artists like Dimash LIVE for performing, he wouldn't think of it !

Christof's student here, and I'm not offended either, but heartily agree with your explanation of Dimash's astounding vocal excellence. I recognize that even if I were similarly gifted, at 66, I'm far too old too have any hope of ever coming close to Dimash's abilities. Rather than seeing his skill level as a destination for me, I embrace it as a "direction' instead, a standard to pursue and aim at, even though I know I'll never actually attain any real likeness to his unique vocal skill. I do know that I can, however, with the help of an excellent and encouraging coach, learn to be a much better singer than I was when I began this journey. Sometimes we just need to see (or hear) just what the human voice is capable of. What a remarkable gift it is. Thank you for your feedback and for sharing insights into Dimash's background and dedication that I hadn't learned elsewhere.

@@SCVocalStudentReacts No time like the present, that's what life's all about right ? I wish you the best on life's journey and the hell with us if we can't take a joke ! 🤣
