Hey guys welcome to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is in the
singing. I have been wanting to do this for the
longest time so I'm finally getting around to doing it and thank you all for
you know requesting that I do do this but it's Lara Fabian in the song is
called "Adagio" and she is just a force to be reckoned with and now I know Lara's
has like 20 million records sold or something. I think she's the biggest
Belgian selling Belgian artist of all time and of course comes from Canada as
well. There's a lot of great Canadian talent as we all know but let's just
dive right into it and take a listen. I've not seen this particular video
though I have seen her many times and now let's rock here we go.
And she's beautiful of course.
Cool hair.
Great emotion.
Good sensitivity.
Good control.
Lot of air.
Now right up front she has a lot of interesting different inflections. She's
using some opera a lot of pop you know she's she's going in and out of a lot of
different styles. I do that a lot too because I use a poggio I use Bel Canto
as sort of the base of everything I do when I sing and then I contemporize that
sound and if I'm singing something rock I'll apply it to rock if I'm singing something pop I'll sing it you know
I'll do it in a pop style and that's precisely what she's doing here too but
she is using a lot of air and unfortunately guys in her later years
here she.. it's cost her a lot of her voice and range and tone and power and
control and stamina because of again overusing a lot of air and not
understanding how to use something called glottal compression to compress
that air and control it so it doesn't control you okay let's continue here we go.
Good tone.
Spot on pitch.
the time No
Fantastic performance.
Nice open throat vowels there.
You know she's got a little bit of Celine Dion in here though Celine uses a
lot more nasality in the sound. They have kind of some similar tonal
qualities you guys agree on that a little bit. Well of course they're both Canadian
but
Great, great note.
Now if you listen closely I can't tell for sure but it sounds like she was in a
belting chest register and she smoothly went up into a head voice register but
her head voice sounds like her chest voice so she's able to transition really
easy without us knowing that she did that and be able to stick both notes in
the chest and head voice registers check this out.
Hear that.
It's nice.
Look at all the passion in that. I just want to back this whole thing up back to where
those notes were again so you could just hear the build-up of her passion and
she's just effortlessly pulling this off. It's not like this is an effort for her
she's just like throwing down.
Killer man.
Cool I wanna hear that end one more time, that was killer.
That's where she kind of like tripped over her dress or something.
Oh it was the microphone.
Good vowel placement.
Killer man that was a killer killer performance. Now one tiny thing at the
end, she got caught a little bit on the way she placed the vowel and I'm gonna
back this up one more time. Again this is just stellar, top of the universe
performance stuff so but I do want to point little things out along the way so
you guys can go oh wow he's right wow she really did do that.
She lost control of the breath a little bit at the very end, lost a little bit of
strength in the abdomen in the diaphragm. When she went to stick the vowel, she
should have been able to relax into a state of vibrato and instead she kind of
got caught for a second and couldn't stick the vibrato and pull back out of
the sound. Check this out at the very very end. Watch this, check it out.
See even if she did (sings)
she should have been able to come back into vibrato instead she went (sings)
she kind of trails off on the vibrato at the very end. Let's listen to it one more
time. I mean like I said it's like top of the world, greatest ever performances but
I do want to point things like this out cause we're all human and it's kind of
interesting that everybody has to work at this.
She didn't quite land the vibrato at the end so but killer, flawless, standing ovation
performance right. Yeah, good job Lara
and again it's another thing to you know
we're grading one song and there's this huge performance going on but man just
she's just an icon and legend and so many people.. just has revered her as one
of the greatest Sopranos. She's actually kind of more of a contralto soprano cause
she does a lot of stuff in her upper mid voice, belting stuff and a lot of
Sopranos can't really belt in their upper mid voice quite like she does so.
