Hello DD, I think there is a need to update Ms. Rachelle's vocal range into her profile. Contralto?! She's a soprano!

The whole vocal range needs an overhaul. I don't think she's a soprano though, she mixes her voice very early and when its not mixed her voice is so heavy. I still think shes a contralto, or perhaps a low mezzo.
ReplyDeleteHave I fallen in love
ReplyDeleteUgh sorry but totally can't share in that emotion. All of couse only my personal opinion but....Lovely voice and obvious range but the facial contortions are not only unappealling and distracting, you can also hear them. So just listening doesn't help either. And though the tone is incredibly warm, the delivery is one of calculated showing off with very little feel for the song.
ReplyDeleteI mean, if anybody declared their love in that manner to me, I wouldn't believe them for a second. But...I would be glancing around where the camera is at, they are actually addressing.
Haha there is always a smile when reading Opie's comments. She certainly isn't one I would love to look at sing and I agree that they can be heard but I love it. And though I myself am a bit of a writer, I think sometimes its good to show of your voice and the lyrics don't have to be the bible. But as you said it is all opinion that we disagree not technical stuff or things that can be proven write or wrong.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Just differing tastes. There obviously is no denying her technical range and ability. I just wish she'd ''deny'' it a bit more. ;-D
ReplyDeleteI know her range changes with every thing I read the biggest I saw was 6 the smallest was 4, I think five is probably true.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite clueless on the range thing in general but she reminds me of Bobby mcFerrin and he has an incredibly range too I understand.
ReplyDeleteI have to look him up
ReplyDeleteOh I don't think anybody should even compare themselves to such unusual talents. You'll end up never doing anything. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd that dude is impressive. Aside from his vocals, look up his wiki entry. Damn!
This is so calm, so beautiful, so simple it is amazing
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could share this mp3 I have of Alison singing My Ain True Love. Talk about amazing simple and really really bautiful singing!
ReplyDeleteI plan to upload it to youtube soon as I have a pc again.
Ok I did but it sent it to the new fangled other folder in messages it said.
ReplyDeleteOn facebook? I have no idea what that means and see no message in my inbox.
ReplyDeleteYou could also try my youtube channel if you have a youtube account.
Okay found it. Tune's on it's way! Let me know if you got it? :-)
ReplyDeleteIt should be an attachment but I forwarded a mail originally sent to DD. Maybe you have to open that original mail?
ReplyDeleteJust to be sure I will try a different method. :-)
It worked and that was beautiful music
ReplyDeleteCool!:-)
