(Isabel laughs)
(upbeat piano music)
- Indignant.
(Emily singing in Italian)
Yeah, I loved that. Did you like that?
- Yeah, I think I maybe did a little too much
on the final "tra."
But I think that overall, I mean, those Ms are so fun.
I'm gonna be playing with those a lot.
But yeah, I think,
I think the indignance of it
added a little spark,
because it's so, so sad for the first bit,
that it just adds a little fire.
So, I'll play around with that a lot, too.
- Yeah, because he definitely, you know,
he can definitely be angry with.
I mean, this is, right, so at some point or another,
when you're pleading with somebody, you do get angry.
Especially, you know,
once you do this with another person on stage,
depending on the reactions you get,
if he's giving you nothing, you can take a mile,
because you can go sad, you can go really angry.
You could try the gamut of feelings
to see which one is gonna make him perhaps turn around.
Let's just do one more phrase. Your pick.
- Um. - Do you want us to-
(Isabel laughs) - Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Okay, so, I think one of my favorite parts of the aria,
but one that's also pretty difficult, is the, um.
(Emily singing in Italian)
- Yeah. - That one.
- Yep, I'm gonna tell you right now,
for all those oohs and ohs,
if I say open your nose, does that mean something to you?
- Hmm.
Yes, actually, yes. (chuckles)
I've never put words to that,
but I know the feeling, mm-hmm.
- Yeah, it's like, you know,
when you feel hot air coming out of your nose when you hum.
- (hums) Mm-hmm.
- Keeping that open, those particularly.
So, try your "pur."
Crescendo, decrescendo up there if you want.
(sings in Italian) Keep your nose super open.
- Okay.
(Emily singing in Italian)
- Nice. - Whoa!
That was so cool! I've never done that before.
But that just like opened so much up. That was awesome.
- Yeah. It was like, wa!
(both laughing)
- Yeah, I felt that. That was really cool.
- That's so beautiful. Ah, thank you for letting me play.
- Of course, thank you so much. This was awesome.
- Yay! Awesome, Emily, thank you.
(Ian singing in Italian)
- Sing all the short notes. Keep going.
(Ian singing in Italian)
Take time.
(Ian singing in Italian)
Yes!
(Ian singing in Italian)
Good. Now, what I want you to do, Ian.
That is the note everybody's waiting on, right?
- [Ian] Yeah.
- Okay, so we need to make sure we set ourselves up well
so we can deliver on that, right?
(Lawrence singing in Italian)
Now, I said the term before, bloom.
And that, I means that we never hit the ceiling.
(Lawrence singing in Italian)
This idea that that bloom happens on that.
But it doesn't end (sings in Italian).
It ends on (sings in Italian).
Sorry, I'm screaming into the mic.
But, so, (sings in Italian).
Settle yourself. Breathe. (breathes)
(Lawrence singing in Italian)
So, the C isn't the most important part of that.
It's what comes afterwards.
Does that make sense, what I'm saying?
- Yeah, yeah. - And the true
impact of what the high C is
is made more when you can phrase all the way through that.
- Okay. (romantic piano music)
(Ian singing in Italian)
- Easy.
(Ian singing in Italian)
Yes!
