How To Sing That Song: "Think Of Me" (Andrew Lloyd Webber - Phantom of the Opera)

[@ashleyhinds8364]

I'm auditioning for the role of Christine at my school and this was so so helpful thank you so much!! 2 years later: I'm just now seeing the comments!! I ended up getting the understudy, but I also got to be apart of the performance as the lead soprano for ensemble songs and really enjoyed it!

I studied voice for over 15 years, and everything she's saying is definitely legitimate and useful. Keeping the high notes light rather than pressuring your voice. But in the end, it is what your range is capable of. You need to be a real soprano, a light soprano, to sing this song. The notes she says are difficult are only difficult if you don't have the notes in your voice. She is very helpful.

[@anadeleon30]

Who else is an alto but is still watching this and hoping to be able to sing like that?😂

[@estherganzon6700]

Me and of course I cant do the highest note :(

[@aidonitsa3420]

Mezzo..but still...😭

[@sarahsantana7914]

OMG YES

[@beybeyrizz]

An alto can definitely sing this. Well depends on your actual range, but I know a lot of altos who can absolutely nail this song even better than me, an underdeveloped soprano.

Yes im obsessed with Phantom and that song

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

@@thefreyacaseymusic i agree. Also can i ask you something? Whenever i do my vocal warm ups my voice is always hoarse. I know i dont strain my throat when singing and i try to take care of my voice by keeping hydrated throughour the day , drinking ginger tea with lemon and honey . But my voice still gets hoarse even with notes that are not diffivult to hit. I would really love and appeeciate if you could help me in this

I am SO glad you went over that ending. The "groups of 4" is what constantly struggle with. I couldn't ever get the notes right, even when I slowed down Sierra Boggess' performance & tried to copy the notes, but you simplified it for me. Thanks so much!

[@acemelecio140]

Lyrics Think of me, think of me fondly When we've said goodbye Remember me, once in a while Please promise me you'll try When you find that once again you long To take your heart back and be free If you ever find a moment Spare a thought for me We never said our love was evergreen Or as unchanging as the sea But if you can still remember Stop and think of me Think of all the things We've shared and seen Don't think about the way Things might have been Think of me, think of me waking Silent and resigned Imagine me trying too hard To put you from my mind Recall those days Look back on all those times Think of the things we'll never do There will never be a day When I won't think of you Can it be, can it be Christine? Bravo! Long ago, it seems so long ago How young and innocent we were She may not remember me But I remember her Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade They have their season so do we But please promise me that sometimes You will think of me

it’s useful and inspiring to see good technique demonstrated on an actual song. That makes it so much easier to learn a tune properly.

Thanks for the interesting voice lessons.... For a person without any musical training, I now begin to appreciate what singers have to go thru to get it "right".

[@sofiazapiolamadden5045]

FYI if you are doing the Broadway open call she says the last high note is a B flat but on the sheet music provided by casting it's a high C so I think this is in a different key!

There’s a couple different versions of think of me and the version I sing/ have says”think of August when the trees were green: don’t think about the way things might have been” but I absolutely love singing this song; it was one of the first songs I learned to sing in voice lessons!

[@barbarasage9975]

Thank you for this. I am 70, went back to singing 5 years ago and your tips are invaluable.I can sing the high A but really struggle with that B! I will work to do this song justice.

I have a horrible natural voice but i want to sing soprano. Im trying to teach myself. Thank you!

[@emmamadsen3111]

Yes please keep learning! Most people who think they have a terrible voice just lack proper technique since they don’t have a teacher. I advise you to be careful teaching yourself so you don’t harm your voice. But keep working at it

[@CarolineForbesAndTaylorSwift]

Just make sure you record your voice and listen to yourself to see what you need to work on. Whenever you are by yourself in the shower or just anywhere with good acoustics, just play around with your voice to see what feels comfortable and how high or low you can go.

[@kirascontent]

I’m a teenage soprano, so technically my voice could change. I’m really trying to train my voice to sound like Christine daee (because I may or may not be obsessed with phantom) so I really Hope this helps me!

[@phantomfae_2323]

Kira Grace I also may or may not be obsessed with Phantom. I want to play Christine in a play someday 😀

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

[@charlottewallis7225]

Might be a bit late now but as a fellow teenage soprano with voice lessons: PLEASE be careful with your upper voice, or you may risk damaging your vocals forever. Please only do the big E6 rarely, if at all, and hydrate afterwards and eat/drink(?) some honey. And if you have a voice teacher, only attempt with his/her permission. If you damage your voice at a young age, you risk the notes you are trying to reach! Also as Freya said, relax while doing the notes Just some tips. Good luck!

I’m singing this in the key of D Major, I’m literally dying. I’ve always sang mezzo and alto for musicals, but now I’m singing full on Soprano. 😂

[@lhbuttercup]

This is very helpful. The last show I did was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Before that show I thought I was a mezzo. It was community musical theater so we had only two high sopranos in the ensemble. There were some high A's in the score and I learned that I could sing them easily. As a matter of fact I learned that the highest notes were the most beautiful in my range. So now singing a high b is coming very naturally. It takes practice. Now, I routinely sing above my highest singable voice in exercises to make sure I'm explaining my vocal range. Thank you. I find your tutorials very good.

[@bexsimpson2604]

[@camrynosterman4423]

She did the phrase "or as unchanging as the sea"twice, when the second time it should have been "flowers fade the fruits of summer fade they have their season so do we"

[@devyl1516]

I think that's the movie version by Emmy Rossum. Freya sings the original lyrics from the original musical theater, sung by Sarah Brightman.

[@gcvrsa]

"Phantom of the Opera" debuted in 1986, the year I started at Carnegie-Mellon for Music Theatre, one of the top schools in the world for professional music theatre, eventually transitioning into theatrical sound design. In the 1980s, most musical theatre performers did not customarily use close-miked amplification. On top of that, Sarah Brightman was undergoing intensive operatic vocal training at the time specifically in preparation for this role, which was written specifically for her by her husband, composer Andrew Lloyd Weber. The role is absolutely intended to be sung with a fully operatic vocal style, as the play is set in the Théâtre National de l'Opéra (as it would have been known in 1881, the year in which the play is set), colloquially known as the Paris Opera. One could say that within the specific context of the play, the beginning of the song actually takes place in rehearsals of the fictional opera "Hannibal", then transitions to the actual performance of the opera, so in the play, there is intended to be a palpable difference between a simpler vocal style the beginning of the song and a more mature and robust style by the midpoint to the end of the song, as it represents Christine's "blossoming", but to approach the song as if one expects to be close-miked and amplified from the very beginning is, in my opinion, a mistake. This historical context of the play demands that it be fully voiced.
