My sister is a retired Viennese operatic singer. When I introduced her to Dan Vasc (one of his metal covers), her immediate response was he had some operatic training (true operatic training requires at least a decade of training to achieve diaphragm control to perform true vibrato & to literally scream a song without a microphone to a theater). Her comment was based upon his posture, breath & voice control, and intelligence on vowel & consonant pronunciation to achieve the best sound.
There are not words to describe the impact of this emotion provoking delivery of everything he sings! I am crying from this astounding ability and sheer beauty of this voice. God has His hand on this beautiful soul! Dan gives it all each and every time! Tears of joy! Peace and Light⭐
Dan's dad was Italian and they used to listen to opera together. This song was a tribute to his dad and that's why Dan was so emotional. He can sing anything! 💖
Five years ago when Dan recorded this, he was in his garage with a plain black backdrop and a older style microphone. How he made this sound so good is just amazing. Since then, he has built a proper recording studio and has upgraded his mic. Talent beyond belief. I recommend you watch him sing Music of the Night from phantom of the opera. It’s like watching an opera. I am sure you will be impressed. Thanks for the reaction.
You are correct and I should have clarified that. After reading what I wrote, it sounds like he built something off site. Sorry! Dan was a guest on another channel and said he finally got his studio the way he wanted. He did something to the walls, got new lighting and additional cameras and upgraded his mic. Sometimes I write in a hurry and I don’t take the time to read what I wrote!
That song is very special to Dan, his dad was Italian and he said they would listen to opera in the car with him. Dan is the most versatile singer I have ever listened to!
Dan is amazing. I truly don’t think there is anything he can’t sing. I have never in my life been interested in opera or metal until hearing Dan. His voice is so incredibly mesmerizing that you cannot help but to be drawn into whatever song/style he is singing.
The gift that is Dan Vasc is his ability to draw people from one genre to another. Not a fan of opera or heavy metal, but I love listening to all genres of music through this man's voice. I also enjoy the reactions from vocal coaches like yourself who share their knowledge of these various types of music.
Some of those experiments with vowels and consonants may be because of his native tongue which is Brazilian Portuguese. He has a wonderful voice I enjoy hearing. Thank you for your analysis.
Clearly, one of the greatest voices in the world. And it is great that he is introducing young folk to REAL and meaningful music and not the commercial shit they're stuck with today.
From what I understand brazilian potuguese really enunciates all vowels and consonants and that is probably why he sings it that way. He is outstanding.
I have always loved Pavarotti and was fortunate to have been able to see him perform in person while living in Houston in the early 90's which was a "bucket list" thing for sure with no regrets except that I wish it were possible to do again. I love Andrea Bocelli, as well, but Pavarotti was still the king of this song for me. Dan's version of this song is so unbelievably good it gave me chills. I was absolutely blown away. Amazing Grace introduced me & drew me in, O Holy Night shook me up & intrigued me to search other songs, and then I discovered his Nessun Dorma and I was toast. I have taken the Dan Vasc journey and continue to be amazed by him. He also does a great job in his Phantom of the Opera songs, plus the duet he does of Andrea Bocelli's "Time to Say Goodbye" is quite jawdropping, as well. Sometimes, I realize during listening to Dan's songs that I haven't breathed for a min. Very few people actually leave me breathless, but Dan's voice sure does.
Thank you for discussing this piece. It's been a favorite and leaves me breathless each time. His cover of 'Angels We Have Heard on High' will definitely below you away.
I listen with my eyes closed, it makes it so much more special.. His late Father was Italian and never got to see Dan as he has progressed with his music.. Dan is quite emotional whilst singing this, rightly so, it is a beautiful love song.. but I wonder if he was doing this for his late Father too. Great reaction and nice to have you back.. I hope you also find more Dan covers to react to, so many genres to choose from and always a little Dan surprise hidden in each one
It amazes me how he sang with watering eyes. Most of us wouldn't have been able to continue. I never knew I needed opera in my life until I heard Dan. ❤
So enjoy watching your reactions. I can listen to Mr. Dan sing this over and over. He did songs from Phantom of the Opera. Music of the Night, All I ask of you. These two are favorites.
I watch your face as Dan simultaneously touches our souls. It is like going go a concert with a best friend and watching his face light up with joy. Sharing the experience transcends the soul. I am a WWII refugee. I always loved classical music. But, Dan takes the DNA of classical and gives it new life with metal. I am now a classical-metal afficionada. At 80 and disabled, we are best friends in the love of music.
I just became 81 YO and possitively LOVE Dan Vasc. He has become my wakeup and sleep time lisrening must have. At night it is Love Me Tender but to wakeup wuth glorious feelingz give me Amazing Grace. ❤❤❤❤❤
Look at Dan's face just after that first final crescendo, and compare it to Pavarotti's face at the same point. It's like "Oh yes, all of that just came out of me!" SO much in the zone! :D
Ken, your feedback was awesome. TY!!! Incredible pipes, indeed. For more, check out his Phantom of the Opera songs. Beautiful. BTW, you have a nice voice!!!
Ken, i nearly broke my phone ... when i saw you were reacting to this one with Dan! ❤ I always enjoy your react/analysis and when Dan Vasc is the subject ... yeah! I'm HERE!😅❤ Thankyou! 😊
I’m a Dan fan and that’s what brought me here. I love seeing people to react to Dans music. He sings anything from Metal to Opera, Amazing Grace to Wuthering Heights. I never liked Metal until I heard Dan sing. He’s given me a whole new appreciation of different music genres. Loved your reaction. ♥️♥️♥️
Some say Dan could sing a phone book and make it a hit. I love that he "tastes" every kind of music and makes it his own. His development over the last years is remarkable and incomparable, he obviously works so hard on it. But his real talent is the way he puts his emotions into every song and therefor touches the listener in a way, I haven't experienced ever before. I liked your reaction!!
A force of Nature - perfectly controlled and directed, worked exhaustively to obtain its results. This is Daniel. 😊. His notes and syllables are drops of healing energy and power... and are always ready to be distributed gracefully to all people. He is a warrior of the Light who found his path... and this is so beautiful! Thanks for the reaction. Greetings from Curitiba - Brazil.🇧🇷
Agree! I discovered Dan 5 months ago and now I “need” to listen to him every day…He is full of love and energy and we can feel this. Greetings from Curitiba too😉
As far as I am concerned, he could sing opera all the time. his voice pinned me to the back of my chair and then I came up off my chair. I love this man, big fan
I love when Dan does other styles than metal. His Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar is an experience! Thanks for your learned reaction to one of my favorite singers.
Dan could probably sing the entire phone book and make it sound awesome! I’ve been listening to him every day since first hearing Amazing Grace! Dan’s voice sounds so rich, masterful, and so beautiful. I could listen to his singing anything and be in awe! ❤
Watching Dan is pure pleasure and joy. Everything that comes from him is flawless. His musical quality is completely unique and adorable. I’d love to see you react to his Phantom of the Opera Music of the Night, it’s absolutely stunning and deeply touching. Thanks for another great reaction!
Amazingly talented young man....quite awesome. Love his rendition of 'Bring me to Life', was worried, needlessly so, when listening to his version of 'Sound of Silence', after Disturbed superb cover, but wow, just as good! And 'Amazing Grace', my favourite hym, never sung better. God bless, He definitely has Dan Vasc with such spectacular vocal cords! Literally nothing this guy cannot cover!
I had No Idea!!! HE'S already so talented he oozes it! But, I don't have any knowledge of Opera. Yet! He just made me cry!! He's incredible!! I think he's just this side of spooky! I'm still just reeling from his performance! Ahhh!!! HE'S GREAT!!!!!! What a GIFT!! WHAT A GIFT! WOW! 😎😎😎
Thank you for the analysis...he seems to attack this song without pause as others do. Showcasing tonal, range and voice control. I like this one more than pavoratti's versio...glorious and majestic. Please do review Music of the Night. Perfection!
Hello again Ken. It is always so interesting to hear opinions from those who know specific genres on a professional level. Thanks for your expressive reaction to this masterpiece. As you continue your dive into Dan's many videos, you will be thoroughly entertained by his variety and creativity in different types of music. I am always jealous of first-timers because of that! More Dan please! 😊🎶
I've gone back and I've listened to a lot of your reactions and I think you're one of my favorite as far as coaches that react. There's a lot of coaches that react that get to my nerves big time they think they know everything and realistically they don't know a darn thing😂. But you're great keep on searching for all of Dan vasc you'd be amazed on his versatility, range and Power.❤
Ken, I appreciate you more than I can say. You are the best! And I have to say that I have been waiting with baited breath for you to react to this one. You did not disappoint! I subbed to you immediately after I saw your first reaction to Dan. Please keep doing what you are doing.
I've learned of Dan through his original intro song he made for a popular UA-cam stream about pop culture and nerdom. The first time I tuned into that stream, the song hooked me and I've been watching the show every single week for 2 years next month.. This week's stream actually starts in a couple of hours. I've seen him appear as a guest in streams in that circle. And he's usually makes appearances in a bunch of their livestream chats. I love some of his covers that he's done.. I love seeing how much better his production has gotten over the past 4-5 years. It's quite polished nowadays.
Thanks for the knowledgeable and appreciative analysis. I’m a passionate opera fan and have just discovered Dan (through Amazing Grace, which astonished me.) I think his voice is glorious, and his Nessun 12:34 Dorma more than respectable. Very impressive guy! I suggest you try Angels We Have Heard on High. In the 3rd verse he’s “backed” by a male choir - all him 😊. I love that he so obviously loves to sing.
Hi Ken! Loved your reactions and your analysis. Hear Dan singing Dawn of Victory feat Fabio Lione and Black Wind Fire and Stee feat Luis Mariutti (guitar bass). Is insane. ❤ Rio-Brazil
Thank you for the wonderful reaction! I've loved this song for a long time but I really wanted an expert's opinion and, boy, did you deliver!! So cool to hear your thoughts!
l love dan's voice and his vocal range and breath control be mad crazy he does everythin from opera to metal to broadway he be the lead singer in his band called fearless l listen to him both solo and with fearless on spotify and amazon music
Dan said on a livestream that he’s had about 10 years of vocal training, with various teachers/coaches/courses. (The livestream was a replay from a long time ago, though. Not sure if he continued with the training these last few years. The number of years might be more now.)
I like his forays into everything. His tends to bring something unique to everything even when he is faithful to the original music he still adds - like the reprise at the end here.
Thank you for your reaction to this particular cover by Dan. I discovered his channel a few months ago and now it is mostly what I listen to while working. I love most music genres, with metal and classical being my favourites. The variety of Dan's covers suits me perfectly as I can stay on his channel for the 9 to 12 hours that I work. Nessum Dorma is one of my all time favourite songs as I had an uncle who could sing it really well. But I have to admit, not as well as Dan does. Keep up the good work. I always find your videos to be very interesting and informative.
I get the feeling that if Dan had wanted to be an opera singer, he would have thrown himself into learning it and doing it perfectly. But Metal is where his heart is, and that's where he's put most of his training. It takes a special skill to do those screams, growls, and other metal voicings without blowing out your vocal chords. The fact that he can do that AND still sing opera brilliantly is mind-blowing.
I love Dans voice and the way he sings ! Dan can realy sing very good, not only Metall also Opera ! He is very talent to sing wherever he wanna ! I love your reactions like always ! Greatings and love from germany 🥰♥️🥰♥️♥️🥰
❤ absolutely love this song. And Dan does it wonderfully!!!!! He is such a talented young man. His father was Italian, and introduced Dan to lots of classical music. So grateful he did. Check out his video of Gethsemane from "Jesus Christ Super Star"...❤
I would listen to anything Dan sings, but your expert explanations and pointing out all the things he does with his voice is magnificent. Thank you for this. ❤
ken............don't now if you have time to read your comments. have to tell you how much i enjoy your reactions. from the first time i heard you exclaim "sweet creamy eggnog" over the sound of a vowel in "i'll make a man out of you" to your chiding yourself about "geeking out" during this reaction. dan has said that when he first heard john schiltt of petra singing, was the day he decided to be a singer. You might want to check out his cover of petra's "beyond belief" feat. john schlitt and john lawry (a career goal of his to sing with them) makes him look as happy as he makes us when he listen to him. Keep on showing us how these beautiful sounds are made.
Great reaction. Enjoy your take on Dan's performances. He has said he is a fan of Phantom of the Opera, check out his video of Music of the Night. Also his performance of Gethsemane Jesus Christ Superstar cover. These are awesome. Hail ❤️🤘✝️
This was a tribute to his Father. His Father was Italian and would sing this. It really shows in his voice and face.
My sister is a retired Viennese operatic singer. When I introduced her to Dan Vasc (one of his metal covers), her immediate response was he had some operatic training (true operatic training requires at least a decade of training to achieve diaphragm control to perform true vibrato & to literally scream a song without a microphone to a theater). Her comment was based upon his posture, breath & voice control, and intelligence on vowel & consonant pronunciation to achieve the best sound.
My mother trained for opera and I could tell right away that he had trained as well.
There are not words to describe the impact of this emotion provoking delivery of everything he sings! I am crying from this astounding ability and sheer beauty of this voice. God has His hand on this beautiful soul! Dan gives it all each and every time! Tears of joy! Peace and Light⭐

Appreciate your background knowledge!
Exactly what I wanted to know!
He's still recording his videos in his garage, though for mixing and mastering, he does send them out to qualified people who he trusts.
You are correct and I should have clarified that. After reading what I wrote, it sounds like he built something off site. Sorry! Dan was a guest on another channel and said he finally got his studio the way he wanted. He did something to the walls, got new lighting and additional cameras and upgraded his mic. Sometimes I write in a hurry and I don’t take the time to read what I wrote!
The fact he's mentioned in the same sentence as Pavarotti, says it all! :-)
That song is very special to Dan, his dad was Italian and he said they would listen to opera in the car with him. Dan is the most versatile singer I have ever listened to!
He is sooooo good! Goosebumps and tears everytime,
Dan is amazing. I truly don’t think there is anything he can’t sing. I have never in my life been interested in opera or metal until hearing Dan. His voice is so incredibly mesmerizing that you cannot help but to be drawn into whatever song/style he is singing.

There is NOTHING this man can’t sing!! He’s a treasure ❤
Listening to Dan is like being wrapped in a warm blanket.
The pure magnificent talent of Dan Vask. He can sing anything.
Clearly, one of the greatest voices in the world. And it is great that he is introducing young folk to REAL and meaningful music and not the commercial shit they're stuck with today.
From what I understand brazilian potuguese really enunciates all vowels and consonants and that is probably why he sings it that way. He is outstanding.
Hi Ken, I love this rendition of Nessun Dorma. Love your reaction to it too LOL. To me this is a typical case of Dan doing Dan things. 😊
I have always loved Pavarotti and was fortunate to have been able to see him perform in person while living in Houston in the early 90's which was a "bucket list" thing for sure with no regrets except that I wish it were possible to do again. I love Andrea Bocelli, as well, but Pavarotti was still the king of this song for me. Dan's version of this song is so unbelievably good it gave me chills. I was absolutely blown away.

Sometimes, I realize during listening to Dan's songs that I haven't breathed for a min. Very few people actually leave me breathless, but Dan's voice sure does.
His National Anthem is one of my favorites. His "in your face" approach really makes me want to run through a wall.
Love this rendition. Really shows just how talented Dan is & what a glorious voice he has!
You always deliver a great reaction. I love that you teach us and not just tell us that Dan has a beautiful instrument. Thanks!
Once again - so nice to listen to someone who knows what Dan is doing talk about what Dan is doing ;-)
I get goosebumps every time I hear this. He is truly magnificent in all ways. A great response Ken.
Ken you have a beautiful voice as well, I love the smile you have when Dan hits that note! 😊
Dan is extremely versatile! Dan sang this about 5years ago. He really does have a magnificent voice. Thank you for your reaction.
I have so waited for a voice coach to react to this. I love it! TY
Thank you for discussing this piece. It's been a favorite and leaves me breathless each time.
His cover of 'Angels We Have Heard on High' will definitely below you away.
What an amazing voice❣
Love everything he sings, sheer perfection

I never knew I needed opera in my life until I heard Dan. ❤
I never now I needed power metal until I heard Dan! ❤@@umarae27
@@umarae27 If you haven't seen An American Trilogy yet you must. That makes me sob every time and was recorded just after his father passed.
@kathywalls6342 oh I have, believe me.
Dan is Awesome 😊😊
So enjoy watching your reactions. I can listen to Mr. Dan sing this over and over. He did songs from Phantom of the Opera. Music of the Night, All I ask of you. These two are favorites.
This is so beautiful, I have tears. And Dan held that last note as long as I ever heard anyone hold it. What a gift to the world he is.

Ken, thanks for another Dan Vasc reaction. He is brilliant!!!
I love listening to Dan sing opera......love everything he does, but this is my favorite.
Dan should be out and about in this genre more often. It suits his voice and vocal color so much. I love it ♥️
"vocal color" - I like that!
A force of Nature - perfectly controlled and directed, worked exhaustively to obtain its results.
This is Daniel. 😊.
His notes and syllables are drops of healing energy and power... and are always ready to be distributed gracefully to all people.
He is a warrior of the Light who found his path... and this is so beautiful!
Thanks for the reaction.

Dan is from Brazil, yes?
As far as I am concerned, he could sing opera all the time. his voice pinned me to the back of my chair and then I came up off my chair. I love this man, big fan
I'm glad that someone who knows about classical music appreciates that metal singers can handle classic works well in a classical way.
Thx Ken 👍👍👍
The man is unbelievable! Old rock n roller here. Beauty n talent. He moves u
Das ist das beste was ich je gehört habe ❤❤❤❤❤. Was für eine Stimme, Stimmfarbe ❤❤

I love to listen to this and I am in no way an opera fan. I'm really surprised that I enjoy it as much as I do. Obrigada Senhor Vasc.

It was one of his late father's favourite

Welcome to Vasc-Nation, we’re a friendly and passionate family. This rabbit hole is a pleasant, delightful and surprising trip.
One thing for sure, aside from the great voice worthy of the Opera stage, Dan is better looking than all of them ❤️😘‼️‼️‼️
Dan has made me appreciate opera. Never would have thought it possible. 😂
Hi Ken! Loved your reactions and your analysis. Hear Dan singing Dawn of Victory feat Fabio Lione and Black Wind Fire and Stee feat Luis Mariutti (guitar bass). Is insane. ❤ Rio-Brazil
Love this version!
Thank you for the wonderful reaction! I've loved this song for a long time but I really wanted an expert's opinion and, boy, did you deliver!! So cool to hear your thoughts!
I love opera. I love this song. I love Dan's voice.
l love dan's voice and his vocal range and breath control be mad crazy he does everythin from opera to metal to broadway he be the lead singer in his band called fearless l listen to him both solo and with fearless on spotify and amazon music
I’m glad I don’t know opera because I felt Dan’s version in the depth of my soul. Such incredible power in his rendition.
Dan said on a livestream that he’s had about 10 years of vocal training, with various teachers/coaches/courses. (The livestream was a replay from a long time ago, though. Not sure if he continued with the training these last few years. The number of years might be more now.)

also phantom of the opera is beautiful he does an operatic version and a metal version
Dan studied contemporary singing, classical singing, piano, music theory and music composition.
You have such a great channel, and quite a sense of humor too. I’m so glad you are a Dan fan, this was a fun reaction!
I love Dans voice and the way he sings ! Dan can realy sing very good, not only Metall also Opera ! He is very talent to sing wherever he wanna !
I love your reactions like always ! Greatings and love from germany 🥰♥️🥰♥️♥️🥰
Amazing! Listen to his song from phantom of the opera.
There’s Gethsemane too!
Loved it. So beautiful!
❤ absolutely love this song. And Dan does it wonderfully!!!!! He is such a talented young man. His father was Italian, and introduced Dan to lots of classical music. So grateful he did. Check out his video of Gethsemane from "Jesus Christ Super Star"...❤
He is the greatest
This is the only song of his that I prefer to listen to rather than watch on video. The voice is incredible.
After watching each of his videos for the first time I also love to just close my eyes and listen to every nuance of his voice !
I would listen to anything Dan sings, but your expert explanations and pointing out all the things he does with his voice is magnificent. Thank you for this. ❤
ken............don't now if you have time to read your comments. have to tell you how much i enjoy your reactions. from the first time i heard you exclaim "sweet creamy eggnog" over the sound of a vowel in "i'll make a man out of you" to your chiding yourself about "geeking out" during this reaction. dan has said that when he first heard john schiltt of petra singing, was the day he decided to be a singer. You might want to check out his cover of petra's "beyond belief" feat. john schlitt and john lawry (a career goal of his to sing with them) makes him look as happy as he makes us when he listen to him. Keep on showing us how these beautiful sounds are made.
Dan has an incredible operatic voice! Wow!
He can sing any genre of songs. Love him! 💖🙏❤️🎶💖🎶🌹
Great reaction. Enjoy your take on Dan's performances. He has said he is a fan of Phantom of the Opera, check out his video of Music of the Night. Also his performance of Gethsemane Jesus Christ Superstar cover. These are awesome. Hail ❤️🤘✝️
You should check out his cover of The Music of the Night from the Phantom of the Opera.
Great reaktion! Thank you! Please more Dan! Maybe 'Burn Butcher Burn'? 😉
I thought it was stunning. His power is just phenomenal.
I think you will appreciate his Hallelujah chorus.
This song and emotions in it break me each time... You can feel the love and loss here...
OMG...I'm in shock!
Yes Dan nailed it. Also you might want to check out Adam Lambert's version of Nessun Dorma during a Queen concert in Italy last year. Not too shabby.
