    I so loved hearing Andrew explain how he "found" his high notes...the reinforced falsetto and gradually figuring it out while listening to recordings....this so reminds me of my own vocal discovery. I learned how to cover the sound, and therefore the real top notes, by listening to Tom Jones. The man has pipes! Andrew's Che Gelida Manina master class with Sal Fisichella is one of the best things on UA-cam! I hope I have the chance to hear him live very soon.

    Dear Andrew what you say around minute 20-26 I just discovered like one year ago and it is so gold and I can completely understand your sensation.. and in deed I think the best way is role plays with mental sets that can help you to get certain sounds.. and other think are movement as you say to let the brain learn what it actually doesn't need to make a good sound instead of thinking rigidly what it should do and not forget..

    I had a wonderful falsetto all the way up to soprano F6 until I was 18 and D6 until I was 21. Now I have almost no falsetto. Maybe 3 or 4 notes middle C to Eflat or F directly above. I could use a lot of help. Hoping to find someone in Italy, Germany or Austria who can help. I'm a more mature singer. I'll leave it at that 😊

    I particularly liked the part where he talked about the 'H' thing. Singing an 'H' always means that air escapes/is expelled but nothing is heard, because there is no musical note that can be sung on an expulsion of air. Notes are always sung on vowels, not consonants.

      To "stretch" the larynx (physically it lowers and rocks foward a little bit) will inadvertently stretch the cords appropriately, since the vocal cords are housed inside the larynx itself

    Yes, they can sing loud and a few can hit high notes but in the long run trained Opera singers are soo boring. Bad diction, no dexterity, monotonous. Most important, opera have no relevant contemporary message. It's always the same old hits that goes around. Unfortunate after Pavarotti there has not been any world great singer coming out from the opera community except a few celebrities and a few one trick ponies. After Pavarotti artists like Bocelli, Il Divo, Sarah Brightman, Katherine Jenkins, Il Volo, Jonathan Antoine.... filled the gap.
