Wie lieblich - Ein Deutsches Requiem (Johannes Brahms) Pronunciation Video

I am so excited to announce a brand new, FREE line of choir rehearsal content I am launching today with Pronunciation Videos! I will be releasing hundreds of these free, public videos on ChoralTracks.com and KZbin over time.
Music educators - I need your help! Is there anything else I can do better? Would you find these videos useful in helping you learn the pronunciation of whatever text you are working on?
I specialize in the primary languages of German, French, Italian, and Latin, but I would perhaps consider other languages as well where I will need some outside assistance.
Any requests? I am happy to make these videos for choirs for free on demand if I have enough time in advance.

I think it sounds so cute when non-germans try to speak German 🙈 But you did a great job! 😊

[@kenemmer4771]

that was a rude response

Nice job! I'd love it if you made a video about working to extend your vocal range as a tenor and also developing the head voice. It would also be interesting to hear your tips on phrasing in choral singing. Love your stuff - thanks for recording!

Excellent pronunciation! 😄 And perfect tip(s) at the end! (i.e. immmmerdar) (Beware of adding a slight Umlaut sound to Wohnungen. NOT "Wohnüngen. Dropped tongue.) Any chance you could increase the text/subtitle font size a click or two? Marissa says "hi"!

If you set it to 2x speed, it's like he's speaking normally. Also, don't turn on closed caption.

I think you would like to know that there are unfortunately some inaccuracies in your instruction. It is generally pretty good for a non-German speaker, however, you pronounce the word „Wohnungen“ with a clear ü sound on „Wohn-ün-gen“, which is incorrect. It is not a coincidence either, since you repeated this both the times you uttered the word. Also, in „Vorhöfen“, your ö sound is too open, it should be closed, like in „Goethe“. Some more minor issues are „lieblich“ and „lebendige“, watch out for the „i“ sound at the end, it should be darker than it is now (more like a Schwa sound, or the way Germans call it, „Nebensilbe“ - non-accentuated-syllable sound). In „lebendige“ the two e sounds should differ considerably from one another, the first of the two must be a closed vowel, just like you did correctly in „Zebaoth“. Nice work, all in all, but the devil is in the details! 😊

Sorry, Matthew, this is not the correct German pronunciation. You should Vetter delete this video.
