Una lezione presso la Scuola dell'Opera Italiana

[@liligibson8457]

I finally learn to open my mouth so loud to sing the high note. It is like I am going to bite somebody LOL. I used to feel shy to open my mouth to sing in public, but now I am used to it.

[@alexgomez2]

Fantastic teacher/singer. What a beautiful experience to have a REAL singer demonstrating rather than just talking.

[@robertodilizio6225]

3:59 My favourite female voice timbre! ♥️🎶

[@LavenderLila]

with other words you like singers their voices stick in the throat?- its called: inglotta and not good at all. For singing with squillo you need a a shine though.

[@nathandavis3002]

Whos the fantastic lady who starts around 3:25? Incredibly deep rich voice she has

[@xxsaruman82xx87]

@@richardvergara She's a mezzo, dummy

[@mhaxrodrigo2183]

Her voice looks like alto

[@42bwawa12]

wow they are such an amazing mezzos... very surprising!

[@LavenderLila]

actually she is a dramatic soprano who used to sing her whole career as a mezzo- fair enough because she had a very good low voice. BUT: Her nature is soprano.

[@juanadelacruz782]

Dolora Zajick is amazing! Wonderful!

[@jimbuxton2187]

What a wonderful class!

[@arinavonderjahnhuette8161]

Wunderful, like a warm Bach in summer

[@doredoremimifa7627]

What a treasure!!! Thank you so much!!

[@joaoaurelio1534]

That lesson was awesome, dont know wath this project is but seems like a masterclass. And she taught many great things, very pratical, sometimes masterclasses arent worth the money and all that.. a singer that has her voice fresh all these years sure knows technique that makes you survive and shine

[@Zashorigin]

With this comment the one and only stupid is YOU! I can tell you know a lot... what a fucking diletant!

[@joaoaurelio1534]

Sylvia Maisonet yeah i think i'll second that. lol i had one teacher that would talk about this. Well first, for me, i create some tensions. But in certain ocasions, i think it can be used. It also depends on the physiognomy of the person. I just think that the singer keeping a healthy and "in shape" voice is a good detector of what to do for longevety. I thank you for sharing your wisdom, it was quite informative. I had no idea her voice was that small...lol

[@Zashorigin]

Everyone knows?... like what you're saying is an absolute truth. Well, I completely disagree with you both. She's not saying to spread the sound. What she wants is more space which obviouss the student doesn't have and when she does it, you can hear it in the sound. It was clearer, more head and high placement, lighter and more overtones besides been completely natural. Nobody speaks high only dropping their jaws.

[@SylviaMaisonet]

The space has to be in the back of the mouth (the singers dome) not the front.

[@boeserwolf1573]

hobo1975 zajick and a small voice ? you should get a set of new ears....

[@jasonstearns2666]

I just don't know why Zajick encourages spreading the mouth. She didn't do that. Wide mouth singing is wrong. Long mouth, but not wide is the right way to sing. Spreading the mouth like a big smile makes the sound edgy and thin. It closes the pharyngeal space. Only the greatest singers adhered to this. Nilsson never spread her mouth. Nor did Caballe.

[@davidsongarrett8087]

Well Dolora is in the same league as a singer with Nilsson and Caballe. One of the greatest Mezzos ever; so she knows what she is talking about.

[@draganvidic2039]

Exactly. This is painful to watch.

[@eilinodea209]

So confusing!! Isn't spreading the mouth wide like this exactly what an operatic singer is NOT TO EVER do?

[@phillypianotuning]

@@eilinodea209 yep, which is why modern opera voices are so terrible.

[@marylamadura2293]

@ approx 1:28 - what is the song from which she's demonstrating the glorious high note?

[@mugrad25]

and she did it piano and so relaxed.

[@mugrad25]

[@helenespierman151]

So we have Zajick counseling singers to open their mouth. This is Jan. 2019; up until a couple of years ago, Zajick was my go-to Amneris, Adalgisa, and Azucena. But -- guess what: This lady with the enormous voice started to sound like a little mouse in the octave from middle C to the C above, and she kept her mouth closed to sort of squeeze out the sound. IMO In her early years, whatever she was doing encouraged a vocal production that made her middle voice too heavy, so that the bottom overpowered that part of her range. Keeping one's mouth closed helps the upper "resonance", and that was her solution. As I said, I haven't heard her in person in a couple of years.

[@jcribbs5819]

this is an amazing video.

[@brunaazzurra]

il mezzo soprano Dolora Zajick corregge le note con vocali che risultano schiacciate , non perfettamente voltate e non uguali di colore. la mandibola che lei muove continuamente verso il basso aiuta , in un primo momento , a trovare la posizione ovale che devono avere le labbra. è efficace il sugggerimento di fare l'acuto con la vocale"e" raccoltisssima al posto della prevista " i " prevista dal testo. il risultato perfetto è immediato... . bellissima voce il mezzosoprano alunna

[@allstatebass]

Yes! I love that she's teaching them to sing youthfully and with forward placement. That's really important for flexibility and, frankly, longevity. :-)

[@matthewmagguilli2702]

Joshua Green I don’t think she’s teaching them to sing with placement. I think she’s teaching them to sing wide. However, I do think she’s teaching them to sing with flexibility.

[@ER1CwC]

⁠​⁠@@matthewmagguilli2702 I think she’s trying to get them with placement by singing wide. The masky school of singing.

[@김범석-t2j]

If Maria Callas could see what that false teacher does, callas would yell at her saying you are an enemy of opera

[@CastaDiva181]

Peccato che l'apertura a sorriso sia fisiologicamente scorretto in quanto manda in tensione la laringe...tra l'altro il respiro profondo dove sta? E poi scuola dell'opera italiana con una che nemmeno lo parla l'italiano?? Mah

[@gavin8277]

As bel canto singing beginner, I don't think opening the mouth in such a big range is a good idea as it disperses the sound. I am just feeling lucky that I am having a good teacher now.

[@gavin8277]

Resonance for bel canto in that high pitch should be using not only pharynx, but also head to maximise the relaxation of the whole upper body. The way demonstrated in the video applies too much tension on the throat, though it does create a strong pharynx resonance. Just a personal opinion regarding this as a bel canto beginner, open for criticising.

[@puccio1795]

la maestra mantiene costante il rapporto tra il suono alto e "l'aggancio" mandibolare tecnica sconosciuta a tutte le allieve presenti ecco perché è un discorso tra sorde e mute quella che canta mozart è stonata in modo costante causa la sbagliata posizione del suono che non è "a fuoco" qulla del samnson ha tutta la voce indietro e afona la maestra può spiegare anche in turco ma non ne cava un ragno dal buco

[@giusepperometta2634]

Pazienza ci arriverà .......

[@edithgonzalezosorio7707]

Como quisiera encontrar una buena maestra como usted aquí en Mexico, y tener la oportunidad de estudiar mas, algún día espero poder viajar al extranjero.

[@kgjhskgskgskgskdgfsk]

This is horrendous... So many people watching this video will get a bad impression. You should NEVER open your mouth sideways.. The tone loses its resonance and direction. There is no way you can sing over an orchestra with a mouth like that..

[@ReverendMaryEMicari1]

no no no

[@dennisdeemii]

it's true. the point she was making re: vowel modification WAS true. the tilt of her head, though, is bad pedagogically. I say that with the caveat that IT worked for HER. So who the hell am i lol Same thing with Jessye Norman re: overextension of jaw and overworking of mouth. BUT it worked for her and she sang beautifully forever. rip

Sorry, ich wollte nicht da das Kommentar einfügen, irrtümlich habe ich da gepostert, deshalba auch gelöscht. Ich bin auch Sängerin, diese eine Stimme klingt wirklich gut. Tolles Werk! Gratulation!

One,one Andrés one the teacher said to student " open the mouth" and student don't heeding o my God, It's bad student, from a tree time she heeding, is absolutly bad, is only heeding over from maginific guide teacher. Please student, please heeding y easy. Bravoo for master class.

[@vincenzopierovisconti1838]

Dolora,tutto ok,però insegnale anche a inspirare giusto.Non tutti respirano già bene.!comunque ,bravissima!

[@puccio1795]

il problema non è la maestra ma le allieve che vengono da tecniche precedenti dove proprio l'uso corretto della mandibola è sconosciuto la voce e tutta dentro e non si proietta in avanti a poco servono queste lezioni quando le basi tecniche di formazione sono diverse non si può in una lezione una tantum cambiare abitudini muscolari pregresse se non capisce questo cara azzurra non possiamo intenderci su termini a cui corrispondono tecniche di emissione che le sono sconosciute

[@brunaazzurra]

+fred puccino riascolti questa lezione che dura meno di 6 minuti( 3 alunne in 6 minuti scarsi) e rifletta di più ,,, queste ragazze non stanno provando per debuttare il giorno appresso.... questa è solo una lezione e queste ragazze stanno incontrando una cantante che vuole insegnare la posizione che deve avere la bocca quando si canta e io direi anche, e soprattutto, che lavorerà su come si volta completamente la voce e su come si pronuncia ogni singola vocale se si canta nel medium o se invece si canta nel registro acuto , ovvero quando occorre alzare sempre più il palato e la mandibola si abbassa auotmaticamente. non vedo tentativi di fare agganci mandibolari e aggiungo che in questo post non ho sentito voci stonate non recuperabili, basta con pazienza riuscire a far "voltare " in maniera totale e non a metà la voce, nè, ho sentito voci indietro. la saluto

[@bodiloto]

+fred puccino parole sante !

[@MrSkylark1]

Where are the dynamics, pianissimi? Bidu Sayao would have ruined her voice with this technique. Suggested the soprano listen to Eleanor Steber/Mozart.

[@alexgomez2]

MrSkylark1 MrSkylark1 Bidu Sayao didn’t even dream of having a career of the magnitude and success as Ms. Zajick. Sorry to bring you the bad news. Dolora is considered the BEST mezzosoprano of this century so far if you didn’t know. Besides she’s obviously focusing on technique and voice production not style or interpretation as many modern teachers do. You may have the best dynamics and NEVER make a career.

[@dennisdeemii]

eleanor steber is the BEST! No one could touch her technically.

[@stephanebourgeaud-lignot2639]

Ok .. .students, please watch this video and do exactly the opposite ... ! Every student in this video sing the same way ... just as their teacher. No diversity in the voices, in the results ... Is the aim to make sound volume ???? And above all that, the french pronunciation is wrong ! Singing (making music in general) is not about copying ... but about expressing ourselves our own way.

[@draganvidic2039]

Horrible teaching making the voice more white, nasal or squeezed. Especially in the ”Mi tradi”. Voices should develop a cavernous sound instead.

Se non insegna a cantare le vocali limpide e squillante è inutile tutto il resto.

[@vitabella6481]

Contraltisdima is right, if she is a singer coach or not. its just bad and absolutely not helpful if the teacher does sing to show how to do it like DZ does. Its very dangerous that the students try to imitate the sound of the teacher and this is so bad since Every voice and every body is different. I can also see that Zajik who I appriciate very much as a singer, is showing of herself. Thats even worse...

[@Tkimba2]

@@vitabella6481 are you crazy? The teacher MUST know be able to demonstrate how it is done. Far too many teachers can't do it and say"oh I did it wrong now but you know how I mean" or they're old and can't do it anymore, so they should stop teaching.
