Oui ,peut etre baryton leger .? Cela se dit ,en tout cas magnifique valentin

[@Homoclassicus]

What a fantastic voice! Like silk on the ears... amazingly elegant and effortless singing, too.

[@sprezzatura8755]

Bari-tenor?

[@jean-pierredevent970]

I have a feeling this is a in between voice who could train as tenor too. I think that because he sings dark and full but not really in front, like he artificially darkens everything. It's a a superb beautiful sound but he might have even more possibilities, I mean.

[@vicm5277]

I agree, this sound reminds a little of a dramatic tenor sound. However, some true baritones really have those tenoral qualities and I find those have the most beautiful baritone voices. Thomas Hampson is another example of a singer with that kind of sound. The question to ask is how well would the singer feel, and be able to sustain, singing in a higher tessitura on daily basis.

Magnifique de virtuosité!

[@aureliensimonot4404]

Peut-être mais le français est quand même assez approximatif...

[@СветланаКоломыйченко-ц1ж]

@@aureliensimonot4404и на русском языке почти у всех плохое произношение. Но я на это не обращаю внимание. Лишь бы пели хорошо.

Tenor

[@juhosten3463]

It's funny. In UA-cam you either are the darkest and deepest bass baritone or a tenor. Nothing in between
