How to Sing O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini | Aria Tutorial for Beginners

[@OrionBaker-c6p]

Don't laugh but I am 81 years old and I so love this aria. My voice is still passable although I was never a professional singer I simply love to sing. So doing this piece is on my list of things to do. No one is going to hear it but me. This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you

[@singingtips1]

Hello, and welcome! 81 is as good an age as any to be singing your heart out, and I'm delighted you're here singing with me. Let me know how you get on with it! 😁🎶

[@OrionBaker-c6p]

@@singingtips1 I will. Thank you

[@ankewynmalen1186]

Oh, I won't laugh, I am 84 and want to do the same thing although I never developed a singing voice. I have been hard of hearing since my mid-twenties but could manage in life until I turned 60 when I started wearing hearing aids. As is common with deaf people, I found music to be annoying and interfering noise because I could never recognize a tune! Five months ago, I received a cochlear implant which means I have to re-learn to recognize sounds which includes recognizing and understanding speech. I find listening to music helps enormously and I listen every day and many times to 'O mio babbino caro', again and again. This aria makes me so happy and who knows, I may even try to sing along before too long, only in private of course! Thank you for teaching us.

[@singingtips1]

@@ankewynmalen1186 What a wonderful story!! I love that you are re-learning about sound, and that music is helping you. I really hope you'll feel inspired to sing along! I hope you find your new sound world to be a truly happy adventure. 😁🎶

@@OrionBaker-c6p Wow, that is amazing! I have never been able to sing, but about a week ago I started trying again (been trying for years on and off 😂) and listening to myself. I noticed that the only songs I actually wouldn't be mortified to have someone hear me singing are all old jazz standards like Smile, Misty, Unforgettable, Fascination etc. I came here because I've never tried this genre. When I saw your comment, I was so encouraged. I thought I was being crazy trying to learn by myself, FOR myself, at 61...but I'm not alone! Thank you so much for sharing your story! If you won't quit, I won't quit...Promise! 😊❤️🎶

Buenas noches, Me encanta cantar. A los 18 deje el canto y ahora con 58 he retomado mi pasión Me pareces una gran profesional y me encantas. Te he descubierto hace unos días. FANTÁSTICA. Pedirte un favor no hablo inglés. Intento seguir las clases y los subtitulos solo se pueden ver en inglés. De que manera, se podrían activar en español. Muchas gracias por darme la oportunidad de saludarte y agradecerte esa forma tan directa de expresarte, tan clara tan didáctica y además desinteresadamente. Un placer de verdad GRACIAS. ❤❤❤

[@singingtips1]

Hola Maria. Muchas gracias por tus comentarios. Estoy muy feliz de que hayas vuelto a cantar y de que mis videos te resulten útiles. Sí, puedes traducir los subtítulos al español. 1. Usando tu teléfono, toca el video. 2. Seleccione "configuración" en la parte superior derecha. 3. Seleccione "títulos". 4 Seleccione "traducción automática" y "español". Realmente espero que esto ayude. ¡¡Por favor hágamelo saber!! ❤️

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.

@@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394 Hi, and welcome to Singing Tips - I'm really glad you're here. Thank you for your lovely comments. The feeling of having a "personal" tutorial is exactly what I am trying to create. I hope you will find more of my videos useful to you. I do also offer membership now, which means I can give more specific help if needed. Thank you for singing with me!! 🎶😁

[@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394]

​@@singingtips1 Oh, it was a great pleasure. And thank you for the info about offer of membership. That does sound the biz! After I had written to you,, I told my husband I had found a fabulous new site, and sang O Mio for him, A cappella, because he REALLY loves the song. I am sure in the short time I had spent "in your company" that my voice sounded more powerful! I am totally inspired by you and am sure I WILL find some of your other videos helpful.. You are the eighth wonder of the world!🌹

[@MidwestMike100]

Another fascinating breakdown of another of my favorite arias. I realize some singers may take some artistic liberty, but I took particular interest in your explanation of the part with the rising crescendo (accurate description?), beginning about 25:55, and the following note/word, which often-times seems to get neglected. Many singers seem too caught up in making the rise and the high note the emphasis of that phrasing. Still, I somewhat enjoy some of their takes also. I like that you refer to, and have knowledge of the original scores, to help understand what the composer may have been looking for and feeling. Bravo!

[@singingtips1]

@@MidwestMike100 Thank you so much - it's great to hear that you appreciated those subtle nuances, which are so often hard to describe! I hope you find other songs and arias here which you find engaging too. Glad you're here! 😁🎶
