Diana Ankudinova . who many coaches, professional vocalists, and Reactors around the globe consider in possession of the most unique mesmerizing memorable amazing atavistic tribunal primordial shaman goddess voice in the world -any age. At age 14 her incredible and legendary performance of an old ritual wedding folk song titled “ rechenka” ( River in English) Is -to this day-considered by many professional vocalists and coaches around the world as the most unique and mesmerizing live performance by a vocalist -any age , in the history of Russian talent shows. EPIC and more iconic than Wicked Game And along with “ Human” ( lowest possible female notes she’s a rare dramatic contralto ) and “ Wicked Game” contributed to her winning not only the kids “ you are super” contest for orphans and adopted children 2 consecutive years but 60 other contests and awards that catapulted her to international fame with millions of avid followers worldwide. And Famous composer Igor has accompanied her on the piano. And you might want to read a little about her tragic younger years abused and beaten by her birth mother and put up for adoption at age 3. You may want to continue your Ankudinova journey by reacting the year prior to “ rechenka” when she was 13! She entered her first kids contest in Russia where she sang a song that required masterful yodeling. It was a masterpiece, a tour de force, some say one of the best yodeling performances on any talent show but in this performance it was the controversial aftermath that prompted the audience to give her a 5 minute Standing Ovation. And at 13 her rendition of “ Me Voy” in Spanish. was amazing and when I suggested to my Spanish speaker friends they were in shock and disbelief informing me her Spanish was perfect and her interpretation was emotionally impactful and almost brought tears. After reacting to Rechenka and Wicked Game and Human Please react to “ yodel time” And you’ll witness a yodeling masterpiece. Some recent songs ( she’s 17) worth reacting to are “by your voice” ( her newer version on her fan club channel 4:06 duration) “ Wave” and a masterpiece titled “Tomorrow is a lie” ( 4.26 one posted by HTB with Igor at the Piano. And wait to you hear her at age 13 on a riverboat cruise ship giving an hour performance highlighted with her amazing performance mostly in English of a 1920s cabaret song by the famous composer Irving Berlin called “ Puttin On The Ritz” . Not only does she kill it with her vocal dynamics but I will not spoil the SURPRISE that will knock you off your chair ( a 12 second teaser that if the late great Fred Astaire were watching would be smiling down at her from heaven. If Diana wanted to , she could become a world class....( I won’t spoil it). Or you might want to continue at age 10 when she performed a cover of the classic Beatles song titled “ Oh Darling” that remains to this day as I my favorite Beatles song Cover. Yes, I love Angelina Jordan but there is no voice in the world that compares to Diana and she acts out almost every song with her expressive movements. Keep reacting to Diana and your subscriber base will go through the roof! All love in isolation, Al

I see you've got a basic Idea of how Diana flexes her timber. A mighty muscle group for sure. Why would she even bother? Worldwide fame most likely because no other female human currently on the planet can do it. I was hoping to hear your opinion about her silky smooth transitions up and down the scale and how she accomplishes that feat, but nary a word. All the best and good luck.

This is a vocal contest of the Russian NTV channel for children with a difficult fate. The competition is called "You are super!". Diana won it at age 14. This year, the channel announced the Super Season of the contest, she participated in it for the second time and won the Grand Prix.

I'm Russian and Native American. I went through a similar situation as Diana but I ran away at 12 and raised myself and became a Physicist in advanced Electronics. Being forced to grow up faster makes you more serious and gives you drive, which Diana Koo' Nova for pronunciation as Igor say's. She has been through alot her voice coach was a Shaymin that's tribal in Russia becausr she couldn't speak from her mother's abuses, her song at the river was a plea to her mother for forgiveness from what ever did to make her angry and acceptance for her and her boyfriend. She has learned how to compress her tongue back in her throat to relax her vocal cords for the tones she does and she's really good at it. All she needs now is to win AGT champions. Anyway it's callef yawning and I truly think she could win AGT champions.

[@johnkaehler4237]

I am so very surprised that you explained it about putting weight on the back of the tongue to go into the deeper register of the larynx not many reactions have explained that but I myself on a few things that I've sung just for my own entertainment sing like that because I have trouble with the higher notes because I crack a lot so I tried to keep in the lower registers but not even really that deep because if you start low you can always go higher and even use accents on the higher notes it's liven up the piece. I may sound like I know what I'm talking about but that's just the way I sing and I used to do it a lot with the radio and karaoke also with guitar hero as I couldn't play any of the instruments and am disabled so the only thing that I can do is sing. But you're absolutely right and she has mastered that and chest voice she has such an awesome resonance so breathy and very practiced she has a history of yodeling as well. Her normal speaking voice is much higher. But I urge you to go listen to Human, Dernier Danse, Rechenka

Hello, how about you check out Diana before she was famous, before she was on TV, just singing at karaoke. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYCadqyibJmGrc0 She does two songs in this video, first an Edith Piaf song in French and second a yodeling song in four languages (English, German, French and Russian). Diana has range like Yma Sumac and versatility like Bjork. She is far more unique than Gaga or Shakira or Cher. Please do reactions to BabyMetal. Thank you.

Hello!

[@SingingwithLauren]

Hey Bernardo!

[@sliderjock8121]

Ding, ding, ding....congratulations, Lauren! You're the first, out of 6 or 7 other vocal coaches, to identify how she's achieving her vocal timbre effect--"tongue clench", lowered soft palate for nasal outflow. She's basically doing a female Kermit the Frog, but musically, like Gaga and (more pronounced, in my opinion) Cher, before her. It'd be interesting to find out if either of those two women influenced her adopting the "swallowed" timbre. But, imagine--this teenager nailing a style/timbre choice, all on her own (I can't conceive of any Russian vocal coach teaching this!), that she must have known would drive Russian audiences nuts! Now, watch her performance of the Russian folk song "River" ("Rechenka"). This little gal has mastered the yodel to a head shaking mastery!

[@SingingwithLauren]

hehe why thanks! And yes i do agree, VERY similar to these to. I think you're right that she probably figured it out on her own lol.

[@Alex-gn6ii]

I thought she also has a bit of Shakira in her sound in addition to those you mentioned. Does she also use the same technique for effect? I'm pretty good with identifying sounds, but I don't have the technical knowledge to name it

[@sliderjock8121]

@@Alex-gn6ii Yes, it's an effect and mimics Shakira, who also tends to tuck her tongue down into the back of her throat, to add the same "e-r-r-r-r" color to her voice--as I said above, it's called the "tongue clench". You can do it, too--pull your tongue down into your throat, then try to talk or sing up through your nose. You'll probably notice you sound a little like Kermit the Frog. The voice actor who does that puppet's vocals uses the same tongue swallowing technique and tries to release the sounds up through the nose. Hope this helps you understand what this talented youngster is doing. (I bet the first time her Russian vocal coach heard her sing a tongue-clenched phrase, she fell off her piano bench!)
