Dimash + Zarina "Question of Honour" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach/Opera Singer

welcome back to the charismatic voice today is another dimash monday but we're not just going to be listening to dimash we're also going to be checking out a new singer zarina altenbyeva and the two of them will be performing a question of honor together now this was recorded in 2017 between episodes three and four of i am singer for dimash so he had quite the performance schedule already going at that point and the song is originally performed by sarah brightman but it's interesting it was rearranged for her but the beginning and end of the song actually come from an opera la vallee italian opera really gorgeous and the aria i think is ben nandrollontana so if you really like the beginning or end of this song you should definitely check out that opera and arya but right now let's check out how this has been restructured to be a duet for these two amazing singers let's get to it [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] uh zarina has a very deep sounding voice this is this is sung often by a soprano but often it's a young dramatic soprano or a spinto soprano that sings it and uh it is important to have a voice that can really carry that has a lot of depth at the same time spinto sopranos often are a little bit similar uh sometimes some mezzos in their depths of timbre especially in that middle area and zarina has that gorgeous lush tone i'm really curious to hear more i want to hear more of those high notes but already she has really gorgeous diction and she sounds like she's got a nice flare for drama so really really true operatic voice there let's keep going oh i should have talked about the scene uh i know i love voices so much sometimes i don't see what's happening but i think we have ice skaters she flew in as well um did you know that sometimes when you're flying it's really hard to keep your breath support under control just fyi it feels like you don't have enough stabilization sometimes so just keep that in mind flying in to a scene is not easy um and it looks like tons of lights this is a really big production uh so let's go back just a little bit and i'll try and pitch into the protection more too more slime things [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] what an entrance for dimash i mean i you have to think about it you just flew in one of your singers what else are you gonna do the way that they dropped the beat and his first initial entrance was super fantastic it was um very nicely done on pitch and it was in full voice at one point then a beautiful beautiful falsetto it showed a lot of energy uh right away and also just very precise i want to go back and catch that one more time uh i'm sure you guys saw the stupid smile on my face when this started singing oops let's go back further so that would have been a full voice and then he flipped his falsetto there as he zooms like a little tiniest takari too sis takati are super good they're really really clean but they seem so effortless for demolish [Music] you know uh that's zarina singing it's a question of honor and that's interesting how her timbre folds in with dimashes and and the chorus of people singing right now uh that's oh i'm excited to see how they blend [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] ah i'm gonna pause for two seconds we're gonna go back i do think that they have blended voices pretty well you can still hear each of them but they are they are taking care i think to my ears i'm guessing zarina particularly needs to work on making sure that that vibrato lines up a little more with dimashes because she naturally has more vibrato in her voice um and so it sounded like she was thinning it out to really try and meet dimash's voice and he was also giving his voice a little bit more resonance i love that you have both dancers in this that are wearing like the white sneakers too so you can really see what their feet are doing and then you have the ice skaters this is just such a huge production and there's there's fountains everywhere people flying also zarina's dress is gorgeous so man i'm thinking they flew her in in that dress too that dress has got away so much it's not easy to sing in a costume that weighs a ton like you're just like oh like it makes your lungs kind i just want to collapse you really have to be holding yourself up in great posture to continue to get great breath so wow kudos to her beautiful dress probably a little bit difficult on the breathing [Music] [Applause] [Music] what's wrong or right if black is what your day is so heads up uh obviously the audio is off there um you see her mouth not moving at the same time as the audio is going that doesn't mean that it's fake [Music] most of the time when you clean up recordings in the end uh you have to re-sync them with videos i do the same thing on mine even here in a youtube studio right i just like the audio from this mic better than the one i have on top of my camera so uh yeah i always do re-syncing as well and this is a very small production when you have a production that's this big you have a ton of audio that you have to re-sync so that doesn't mean that it's fake or it's been retouched it just means that it wasn't re-synced here very well um now i also was listening to this part because the first high part i thought i think that's dimash but that might be zarina and then even when she started singing the low part i was like i'm pretty sure that's arena but it might be dimash so let's go back and listen to that again now that i know who was singing what uh here [Applause] that's dimash on top i can't tell what's wrong all right if black is what our day is [Music] i am so into her deep more mainstream pop voice it's very rare that you have opera singers that can also have that nice pop tone i like it a lot let's go back let's hear that just a little bit more if black is white [Music] nice oh that dress [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay before it ends here um this is this is interesting i'm looking at like how they've arranged a plot here and i feel like they're echoing something from the opera admittedly i've never done all of lavali i am familiar with the arya and she's talking about uh essentially in the arya she says fine that i'm going to go far away and i think it's because her father or the woman's the character's father has said she can't marry the man that she loves so i think that they're pulling from some elements in the opera and adding it to the staging right now which is particularly fantastic and that's why they've brought her from so far away um i also i i did feel like the vibrato got a little bit uh a little bit out of control on the top it was just really extra fast then again that's a higher note and and having a really healthy vibrato can help opera singers from essentially having too much tension my brother actually helps to release that tension on top so i was like maybe a little too much vibrato for my tastes but you know i can't say that there's anything wrong in the technique it just sounded like it had like a little slutter and those are those are difficult to work through so uh you know jury's out on that vibrato for now let's go back though oh you know i think the main reason the vibrato bothered me is because she had a much more steady vibrato in other places of her voice and then just on that top note it just is suddenly much faster so i would have liked it to have a little bit more control [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] i really i think that zarina probably has an extremely powerful voice in person the way that it feels structured it's hard to tell sometimes with microphones you think yeah it's a good sound but you have a microphone that's right there i bet she can project to a huge hall that voice sounds like it really packs a punch it was really cool to hear them in this end together too because like i thought they they definitely met those voices in the middle more and we're getting a lot more blend very victorious ending as well you know this was one of the first moments that i think i've heard dimash go full blown opera we heard it just a little bit here at the end when he was joining in the arya bin and and it just seemed so easy for him i have to think it would be incredibly easy for dimash to really sing opera and i know that he was offered an awkward position at one point and just wanted to take his career in a different direction so a major respect for him again wow i overall i just really loved the show of this piece it was interesting to hear how they've turned it into a duet i did feel like it was a very effective duet as well sometimes when you turn a solo piece into a duet you feel like uh it could have been just one person but i liked the way that they overlapped the voices and really had dimash and zarina singing similar things at different times and it gave yeah i gave a really nice perspective on that but the show overall was super impressive the flying in the journey of her uh eventually making it on her way to dimash and then you have the fountains the ice skaters uh the the dancers other people flying i think we had a full orchestra in there somewhere too just it was a massive massive production i bet that would have been incredible to be there live with them so thank you so much for this recommendation and please please keep those recommendations coming i do keep track of them so you can put them in the comments down below and also i hope that you'll be joining me for premieres mondays tuesdays and fridays at 8 a.m arizona time and if you want to get to know me better or maybe even help me pick out what videos i'm going to be doing next from some of your comment recommendations i often need help doing a little bit of research on videos or you know if i have a bunch of them to choose between i go to my patreons for that or my patrons so if you look at patreon the charismatic voice um you can join there i think it's uh you can even join into our discord channel through there and we do things like play games uh have extra video chats just have a really good time in general so i welcome you to that and i hope to see you somewhere soon [Music] thanks
