Joyce is a total inspiration

Merci d'écrire le nom de l'accompagnateur !

[@smurf902]

May I ask that you identify the students' names? The countertenor is quite thrilling!

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

I believe his name is Austin Hayes. He's very good and very handsome

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

Austin is quite wonderful, but to be bolder in this aria and others be really must develop stronger chest voice and coordination.

[@joshdaniels2363]

IDK, his chest voice sounds pretty strong to me for a fach that sings 99% of their notes in head voice.

[@marcelbureau2753]

I thought master classes were for advanced students that took enough serious singing lessons to at least know their voice type!!! I did not think that it was possible for a tenor to come sing a bass aria in a master class session!?! The other singers sound like students in their first year. Are you sure it is not Oxford Got Talent !!!

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

John Johnston doesn't sound like a basso to me. He seems afraid of the top and cracked in a funny spot in his voice, not where you'd expect. It's a nice voice. I think it'll change with maturity

[@marcelbureau2753]

Of course since DiDonato is an underdeveloped SOPRANO because of lack of technique cannot identify (see\hear) that the singer is an underdeveloped tenor.

And you are the world renowned who??? Making a living in opera houses world wide, yet you are the authority on this? You're an idiot. If you have nothing constructive...let me make it clear...CONSTRUCTIVE to say...maybe you shouldnt say anything...keyboard warrior. I love all/most voices for what they bring to the stage and it all comes with respect! They studied their backsides off, went to numerous auditions, learned music they hate-give some respect! What is your background?
