when she sings "I'm erasing myself from the narrative" it's like ... I just want to cry because she's so good at singing this song. This song is one of my favorites

[@lent_ils]

do you think maybe she didn’t think about sustainability because they were recording the film? maybe she did it differently for her normal performances? i just wonder if that could affect her choices somehow 🤔

[@HannahBayles]

Yes for sure! I'm sure the fact that it was filmed affected her performance in many ways. I know for a fact she's got great technique so I'm not worried about her based on this one performance!!

[@allisonjohns4623]

@@kiras2250 I agree, the expression on her face makes it seem like she's doing it unintentionally to me.

[@belenjohnson637]

I think maybe it was just when she was acting. She definitely does a more smooth push in the cast recording of the song. I have listened to it many times lol. She sounds slightly different in a few places on the recording versus the film.

[@belenjohnson637]

Also from I know about the night of that performance she was also grieving a family loss and it was a more emotional night for her so that could’ve affected her performance when it was filmed.

[@carr0760]

They also filmed this performance after doing a regular 8 show week, and had to run it multiple times. This should have been their very necessary rest day, but instead they had to do more performances. Every single one of them was physically and vocally exhausted (aside from Groff who had already left the show and just came back to film).

[@chadoakley8505]

so I'm a theatre tech person who can't sing worth a darn... but I love your reaction videos, I'm always in awe of singers... This is remarkable reaction to great singing... but as a lighting person, I have to comment on how well it is lit and the color blending between her dress and the blue light that surrounds her, without losing any natural tones on her skin... and if you get a wider shot of this scene you will notice that they also matched the color of the accent lighting on the stage to the color of the flame...

[@alexagalbreath9235]

Yes! I did lighting in high school and I wish I had been given proper guidance, because lighting is used so beautifully here.

[@ashleighmarshall4431]

This song is so good. Lin is amazing for writing it and Phillipa performs it to absolute smooth perfection.

[@justsomeartstudent]

Please do a reaction to Alex Brightman! He is my absolute favorite Broadway actor! He's been in School of Rock, which I think is the most like the way he likes to sing, but it's a little raspy and shouty because of the intensity of all the songs. Then there's Beetlejuice where he does a specific voice. I think it would be really neat if you could watch an interview where he talks about the voice, because it's something only he can do without damaging his vocal chords. And then he has a solo song called Marie and Me, which I think is the truest to his real voice. Love your videos so much!

[@sylvielane7333]

yes I agree

[@jeromejuwu6397]

FUN FACT: they used a special kind of paper for the letters eliza burns, so it burns from the point she lights it up until the song ends so she can exit in a total blackout

I LOVE how instructive this is! You give us so much insight in how she's doing what she's doing and other ways that she could perform it that might be easier (or gentler on our own voices) than how Philippa Soo does it herself in this performance.

I love how she brings a lot more weight to her voice when she stands up. Standing up or sitting down are usually a really powerful physical actions in theatre as they usually mark a turning point to the character's emotions and bringing this to a turning point to her voice as well is great acting being done. She makes very good choices.

[@merryberry6576]

Hannah, I never felt that you were being nit picky. I found you so incredibly helpful! I am a singer who loves this song and wants to tackle it and everything you mentioned were things I was struggling with in the song. So it felt like I got a mini voice lesson in this song!! Thank you so much, I recently realized, thanks for a voice class, that I’ve been singing with a lot of unnecessary tension and stress and that it should feel relaxing and never tight in your body as you sing. I’m currently working on that now and it’s really hard but feels so good when I remember that it should feel as good physically as it does emotionally 🥰 thanks for your help, now I feel more capable to do this song justice 🤩

Something I really like about your videos, is that you realize that your audience values your reactions and your insights. I have seen many people doing reaction videos, apologizing for stopping the video too often and talking too much. Which makes no sense, if I wanted to see the full original version, I would go watch the full original version. You on the other hand, apologize when you just watch the video without commenting anything. I like that you realize and respect your own added value that you bring to the table by reacting/talking. Thanks for all your great videos.

[@Cyla1721]

This song is not easy to do. It's become a bit of a personal project for me. As a very happy Soprano 1, this song sits right on that edge between my head and chest voice. I'm constantly struggling with that edge. I've actually learned I can only practice is while I'm still only semi-warmed up (I know, horrible), because otherwise I end up really hurting my cords. Someday I will master the balance between emotion and breathing. Besides that, this is the first video I've ever seen of you, Hannah, and I think you're so precious. I already have a bunch of your other video queued up to watch.

That song at the end where they reconcile after the death of their son, and then the final song narrated by Soo, had tears streaming down my face.
