Hello Pablo,
Well, very well done, on your bit of Schubert! It's a
very lovely quality indeed. I particularly like your
use of your head voice. What I think you could try, is
right at the beginning of the song is just using that
same head tone as you use on the second phrase. Hmm
haven't explained that very well: Well what I mean is,
when you start, the voice is a trifle thready and airy
(this may not be the case, but it's how it sounds on
my computer!)I'm hearing quite alot of air escaping
through the cords, and you don't really want that.
If you think of really getting a biting tone: one with
lots of squillo (ringing sound), you will find your
beautiful tone is a)More so and b) you will find you
will sustain the line very much better. I suppose you
could think of it like a laser if you will. That first
Liebe for me, for example,just feels as though you're
gripping slightly, and the consequence of that is that
your larnyx will jam up: the sound won't spin. This is
is why I suggest you using a heady sound. It'll feel
thinner to you, but should give you a lovely buzzy
sound. Also I think (and this is purely personal
here!) you could use just a wee bit of portamento
especially on ending phrases. Lots of people hate it
it seems these days, but it's stylistically correct.
I'm not suggesting that you swoop around, but that you
could just join the tones together like shining
jewels!! It wouldn't be offensive with your lovely
quality.
That's my observations for the moment. But honestly, I
think you've a great deal to be pleased with. Very
pretty sound, and interpretation wise isn't as
'lukewarm' as you suggest. Do we get to hear the rest
of it sometime: it would be nice.
Take care,
Ian Voice wrecker to the stars!
