Dan Callaway, voice teacher Boston Conservatory at Berklee, says in one of his vids that "correct singing is offensively easy" - that's so true. We always hear stuff like "Operatic singing is very demanding physical activity", "Opera singers work as hard as blacksmiths" etc. So, of course, from the beginning of our lessons we prepare ourselves that hitting high notes is gonna feel like squatting with 200 kg in a gym. And when someone offers us ways to decrease tension, we answer "Hey, no pain - no gain! We don't need to reduce tension - we just should get used to it thru the years of hard training" - so stupid.
And people don't even bother to watch, for example, video of Angelo Loforese singing "Nessun Dorma" at the age of 93, and ask themselves a question:"If singing were equal to a hard manual labor, would a decrepit old man have been able to sing?".

I can definitely admit, I am one of those people who tenses toward the top. This is definitely helpful! Sometimes its about getting out of your own way.
Congratulations and I wish you two many blessed years together.
Amazing! I've used this exact example with my choir during warm-ups to help them find a balanced sound, so happy someone else discovered this as well!
Genial tus ideas, José. Realmente creativo tu enfoque.
My god, I’ve been dealing with this so long and have gone in and out of this my whole life trying to decide what is right or wrong. This is very helpful. Thank you
Great, funny and educational video!🗣️🗣️🗣️😊🤌
I live, sing and work in Italy, and our chorus master always insists on a round, dark sound. Although when it gets too dark, the pitch wavers and more Sponge Bob is required. There has to be a balance, as you say.

Thank you very much for these great suggestionens! ❤
Interesting and very clear video ! Speaking as someone who grew up singing more Pop music, I actually suffer from having more of SpongeBob than Patrick, so I’d say it’s on every singer to identify their own personal problems rather than focusing on a particular extreme first :) However I’ve had my fair share of issues working on the oscuro of the voice, so indeed a good balance is always the best.
Beautifully put!
Very helpfull thank you!
Thank you ❤
Gracias maestro
In your view, what's the suitable ratio for "SpongeBob" and "Patrick"? 60%+40%, or maybe 70%+30%? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for these insights. You pinpointed exactly the problem with bringing a concept too far with the yawn: pulling down and retracting the tongue... Really liked the concept of the snore that reminds me of David Jone's fricative breath. And you are so right! We should aim for an animalistic way of expressing ourselves to let go of necessary tensions or frights.
THANK you!
when you snored a lighting struck nearby. I am totally focused on your video. I am never distracted.
This is truly complete with clear physical demonstration of concepts. Technique can certainly vary but these are certainly what I believe to be correct. A question on finding chiaroscuro balance: I try to maintain position of the larynx where it normally sits at rest or lower. But attempting more brilliance, even with the highest palate and snarl, the larynx moves a little higher than rest position. Is this OK, or I need to move back to ingolato?
Also, with the tongue, some classic singers arch and touch lower teeth rather than laying flat. As long as it is neutral and not tense.
I am sure Fisichella must be an admirer of Antonio Paoli. This tenor recorded the first ever Opera in full, I Paglicci, under the direction of Leoncavallo himself and performed Otello hundreds and hundreds of times. Paoli sang like what you're describing, in the middle of chiaro and scuro, often going shamelessly and confidently chiaro in the middle range. He may have learned his techniques and methods from García (Manuel García, the inventor of the laryngoscope) and his family in Spain and France. The problem is that today his kind of singing could be considered not too elegant. I don't agree with that but I may be in a minority there. Very interesting!
great video Jose!
It's the tension for me. It really hinders me from hitting the high notes. Also, sustaining a high note is very hard.
Where are you based? Germany? Austria? I'm considering moving abroad sometime next year. It would be wonderful to sing for you
mi maestro me dice que debo empezar siempre por el sonido claro ya agregarle el oscuro y no al revés ya que es muy dificil poner el esquilo a lo oscuro
Ive always used Patrick to help me figure out space never did I think Spongebob was his vocal counterpart yet as I kid I imitated both of them. Haha 😜
Mel Blanc of Bugs Bunny fame was the best in his time 😊
How do you feel about John Vicker's??
I enjoy very much vickers. Although at times for me he struggled with a bit of excess weight and effort in the sound especially at the top which cause him to be somewhat inconsistent. However he had an exciting sound and he was a fantastic artist. Big voice, big presence.
@@Tenor_Simerilla For the Wagner rep he was amazing. There is a recording of him sing Italian arias which is very interesting.
Veramente creativo e moderno nella spiegazione, questa spiegazione però non la consiglierei a dei principianti perché rischia di confondere, per quanto dei concetti molto difficili vengano spiegati in maniera molto semplice e comunicativa per qualcuno alle prime armi rischia di essere forviante, ma lo consiglio veramente a chi ha già una base, Bravo!
HI , PLEASE MAY I ASK U YOUR STAR SIGN. THANKS. BEST REGARDS. GEMINI (?)
