She was kind enough to react to "Snow-Sleep" By Kardashev, so I thought I would return the favor! Turns out that her performance is a perfect example of what amazing breath support, perfectly placed resonance, and connected vocals performance should look like! Metal vocalists, there is a lot here for us to learn! If you skip this one, its your loss!

    That’s my vocal coach! Yes, she’s out of this world & a very kind, cool person. Im a disabled veteran & lost my job & she was kind enough to be patient as I couldn’t pay all of my tuition. Her & her husband have my upmost respect. If you’re looking to learn how to sing, she’s well worth the price. I went from not being able tune if it had handles on it to now, two years later, Im able to perform songs from Waylon Jennings, Stevie Wonder & Judas Priest(Im just finally cracking that octave, its not perfect yet but it will be). I even performed at an open mic event & got a lot of compliments. Thats due to Elizabeth.

      @@mknewlan67 she made it to the finals but didn’t win. But even doing that is a feat. From my understanding, the finals of the competition is more subjective. She tends to embody the character and will sacrifice “precision” (even though she can do it) cause it makes scenes in context. But some judges are more conservative and just want perfect technique according to what is written. Because of the way it’s judged you end up getting 6 of the same movements.

    Actually she admitted to being nervous there. She was next to super experienced conductor surrounded by the orchestra in which everyone will hear even the smallest mistakes and so on. Everything is 100% acoustic and the pressure is real not to blow it and more importantly not to make the conductor and the orchestra look bad. She was too young to be self confident enough to come into early career performance like this fully relaxed and above all pressure. But overcoming that pressure and rising to the challenge is where you make it or break it. She made it.

    Post Premier Comment: Damn, how awesome was this? Props to you, Mark, for stepping out of your extreme metal wheelhouse. I will say though, that I see this "classical voice" as extreme vocal technique, every bit as impenetrable and intimidating to a vocal layman as growls or Rob Halford's Painkiller shriek. Loved the humility and respect you showed, loved how you pointed out how this song, while not technically metal, is metal in spirit, and the demonstrations of "metal faces" and the gutturals you dropped on this opera reaction were fantastic! As for Elizabeth, she's a beast. Lovely, charming, and sweet, but a beast, and that is HER stage! I have no idea what she is saying, but through her beautiful tone and her signature expressiveness I can easily feel the conflicting emotions of the character even as I am befuddled by her RIDICULOUS technique! As is always the case when I watch Mrs. Zharoff, I am left feeling inspired, awestruck, and, to paraphrase Wayne's World, feeling distinctly not worthy. Can't believe I haven't subscribed yet!

      I think the lyrics would fit a death metal song perfectly. Even the title "Martern aller Arten" means "Tortures of every kind", and that's what this song is all about lyrically with the final focus on "Der Tod" -> the death.
      Tortures of every kind
      May await me,
      I scorn agony and pain.
      Nothing will shake me,
      Only one thing might make me tremble:
      If I were to be unfaithful.
      I implore you,
      Spare me!
      The blessings of heaven
      Shall be your reward.
      But you are determined.
      Willingly, unflinchingly
      I choose every pain and grief.
      Well then, command, coerce me,
      Roar, fulminate, rage,
      Death will liberate me in the end.

    This is great, thank you! Very insightful. As an old guy, and an old school rocker (I saw Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, and Grand Funk Railroad live, all in 1970) I always thought I was weird in that I loved classical music and opera in addition to my “home” in rock. It seemed an easy transition from one to the other for me, but most of my friends didn’t share my appreciation of anything outside rock and blues. I’m so glad to see people like you appreciating other genres, such as opera, and people like Elizabeth enjoying metal, among other genres outside her own area of expertise. I love Elizabeth’s channel, The Charismatic Voice. Through it she introduced me to symphonic metal, which I now love, and many singers and bands I would never have been exposed to otherwise. It’s a big music world out there, and there’s so much to enjoy and appreciate!

    If you dont think opera is metal, just remember they don't use microphones. I once played a symphony concert with Kathleen Battle, a famous opera singer, and you could literally hear her voice bouncing of the back wall of the concert hall. It was one of the most incredible things I've ever heard.

    Something else worth noting is the modulation of her vibrato! The frequency of her vibrato changes, in particular when she does those very impressive runs up and down in pitch, her vibrato changes to match the notes, so that each vibration corresponds to the next note, then the frequency widens to finish phrases. So cool.

    • @crhu319
      @crhu319 3 роки тому +1

      Yes exactly good call. That's a hell of a trick, matching vibrato to fit integrally into note timing.
      It's actually also what distinguishes brilliant harmony singing. Watch Longest Johns or UNC Psalm 100. Especially "Oblivion" by the latter. They use choreography to reinforce that timing too. Brilliant.

    Because I have listened to Nightwish for years I can appreciate operatic singing style. With art history I can appreciate it as an art form. I have to thank all the vocal analysis on UA-cam for teaching me to be truly at awe at the technique required to produce that amount of sound and control. I keep going back to Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma but usually listen to melodic death metal. Elizabeth truly rocks, I haven't heard her sing before even though I have watched her videos!

    To really appreciate this, it's worth noting that opera is not just singing, it is acting, and her facial expressions are part the story. In this aria she is playing the role of a woman who has been kidnapped and forced into a harem. She is telling her kidnapper that she would rather be tortured and die than than submit to him and be separated from her fiance. There's more to it, but that's the gist of it. It's considered one of the most difficult to perform arias in opera, and Elizabeth nailed it!

    The piece was ridiculous, and Elizabeth was amazing. Not only were some of those runs super tough, but listen to how much material is demanding the lowest end of her range! This is not where she naturally blooms in that sweet range. Have you ever tried to project your lowest notes over an orchestra or a choir? Staying relaxed, keeping your pitch true, your tone good, your diction correct and remaining audible past the front row? This may have been as hard or harder than some of the more technical stuff on the high end! This was stunning work under incredible pressure.
    And don't think she wasn't nervous. I'm sure she was, but she still got to that place where she was like OK, bring it on, let's do this! Gotta love it!

Simply the most "metal" display of Konstanze I've ever seen; pressurized, spirited, defiant, unyielding. That's a warrioress with matted hair, fighting for her life during the finals of a prestigious vocal competition.
