Opera Singer Reacts to Dimash Kudaibergen (Your Love) - Dimash Journey #7

hey everyone and welcome back to the channel I'm Angela Zahra and I'm a professional opera singer and voice teacher and today I am reacting to by request by special request from our community post damash is newly released single your love and I would like to thank I'm gonna read a long list of names I apologize if I pronounced anything wrong cicada info Oliver Alvarez Verna Engelmann bunsen Lea Lea moola stormy George him Murray Josey Paul Zak David Sanabria Audrianna home with s Gio Silvia Reagan's Stern Jorge Hernandez and and ER for suggesting your love you have broken the cycle of chronology and we are in 2020 would do much we'll all go backwards to 2018 and 2019 but um it's gonna be exciting to hear new damash present-day damash okay so let's get started as always um I am taking your suggestions writing everything down and whatever you recommend we will get to it eventually and like and subscribe okay [Music] so it's really interesting to hear him like this I mean he's sounding very broken I can't quite understand what he's saying because he's still in such a soft place and I'm also right next to a very busy city but the vocal fry' that he is using and the dropping off of phrases is really creating a nice atmosphere for the beginning of the song I usually really cringe when I hear vocal fry' but his is not bothering me he's not sitting on it he's just sort of very gently resting and then moving past it instead of just sitting down here or like this thank goodness [Music] [Music] doing that from such a low place without almost any vocal fry' and so gently coming up that's really I mean croteau is just like in heaven listening to him sing this [Music] where do you live what do you do it [Music] do you get do you see [Music] [Music] it's really interesting sink because the last video that I watched was diva dance from the 2017 Bastile concert and what I'm seeing overall you know in the shift from three years is that he seems much more comfortable much more at ease with keeping a general sound going instead of fire working through you know as many different colors as possible it's possible to sing in different styles and still maintain similar colors throughout so that you maintain the sense of this is the same person singing and I like hearing more of that core dommage sound throughout whether he's at the bottom of his range singing with a very very gentle mixed voice or belting it's really nice to hear similar colors throughout all of those different stylings yeah let's keep going and his English is like I mean it's always hard when you're singing in a language that is not your own but it's really clear to see that he has vastly improved and it's wonderful to hear [Music] it's really nice to see him physically going down before that super high belt let's go back just watch you know and he's moving dramatically for the performance but he's moving in such a way that it's only enabling him to sing even better [Music] and he does it again it's such a healthy thing to do when you drop down like that physically like into a squat position while you're singing it will release your ab muscles do I mean do a squat and try and tense your abs it's not a natural physical reaction so he's relaxing his abs and letting his diaphragm just do what it does naturally I'm always telling my students you know you can manipulate your diaphragm into ascending faster or you can just keep an open position in your body transit transfer energy elsewhere and let your diaphragm do what it does best because I promise you your diaphragm lowers and ascends all the time 24/7 until you're dead and it's better at ascending and descending then you are when you when you consciously try to manipulate it so he's transferring energy elsewhere into his legs so that his diaphragm can just do its job and you know I wish more singer saying that way that's all I'm gonna say about that thank you too much [Music] [Music] okay those Tecate like oh yeah they're so clean uh and it's not because he's an alien it's because he's spent a million years in a practice room achieving that I mean and I just listen to the diva dance which is the first time his diva dance I mean I've heard the song before but it was the first time I was I had really heard just how crystal clear and perfectly in tune his staccato is and it's not because he's an alien it's because he has practiced and practiced and practiced because that is just straight-up muscle memory on such a tiny tiny apparatus I mean your vocal cords are so small I gotta listen to it again I know I keep rewinding I'm sorry [Music] [Music] his belt has gotten a lot more consistent for me I've heard in the past you know him having a belt that was a little bit more chest heavy but also quite a lot more nasal and then i've heard about that was incredibly round which while wildly impressive is a is a hard color to maintain on a belt and it's not the healthiest color to maintain on a belt it's doable but physically you're sort of like pushing against two opposite physical gestures when you about you on a high laryngeal position and a wide smile when you sing an around head voice you want a very oval position and a lowered larynx so it's just kind of doing this to your voice when you belt with an incredibly dark sound and now his belt sounds a lot more balanced the color is even up and down and I think that he's found a really perfect mix one that's very impressive and beautiful and also one that he can maintain for you know decades [Music] I really appreciate that even when he's on his knees he's refusing to let his spine curve inward and let the floating ribs hit the diaphragm it's it's so tempting to want to curl inwards when you're singing dramatically and it's very tempting to want to aid your diaphragm in its ascension as you're singing these high belts but he is refusing to let that happen he's insisting that his diaphragm does its job you know without any sort of physical manipulation or interference and it's hard to do because you're kind of going against even though you're letting something happen it's so hard to let something happen naturally and not interfere with it right he's not letting his brain take over thank goodness [Music] Wow the color was so perfect right on that end just even just even and clean and it's not that he hasn't been even in the past but I think that in the past he's been playing around with what he can do of course I mean that's what you do as an artist you experiment you see what works you see what doesn't work or you see what you like and what you don't like you see what you're able to do sick you see what you're able to do you know touring and singing you know in rehearsals 14 hours a day and this to me sounds like somebody who knows not only exactly what his voice can do but exactly what he wants his voice to do if that makes sense what he wants for a healthy voice still wildly impressive as always but a very very sophisticated performance in a very even performance which I really like to see from him and a beautiful song critize should just stop writing for anybody but him and that's that's that's my opinion on that as always thank you so much for watching if you found this video informational or helpful at all please like and subscribe there
