Thanks Bill! I'll add more such tag tutorials at the end of upcoming videos. PS: If you're keen on learning all the parts, I provide audio learning tracks (= breakdown part by part) for all of the songs on my channel on my website (see video description for the link).

Everytime i see your videos i want to apply to a singing school and sing with a quartet ^^

Thanks. You know, I'm just a regular Baritone. The three lower parts (Lead / Baritone / Bass) fall in my full voice range (low F to high E), the Tenor is mostly sung in head voice. Good thing the melody in barbershop isn't sung by the top part, haha! :)

What a delightful way to start a day!

Hey Julien, this is great! I loved all of the historical information about the song, and I especially love that you broke down the different parts! I’ve never been able to harmonize with anyone because I can’t focus on my own part. The fact that you can is awesome, and that you’re willing to explain it is even awesome-er... if that’s even a word. Thank You again for sharing your gift with us - it is always delightful to hear you sing!!!

My word ...how perfect

Your vocals always make me smile, Julien. I especially like the bass. I always told my husband, who had a fantastic voice, that the bass singer always gets the girl!

Yes, just the chorus from the Polecat songbook. This is a different arrangement + it has a verse.

What an awesome rendition to give us high spirits! Can you please do Lupang Hinirang Barbershop quartet (Philippine National Anthem) next please? Anyway, keep it up and we'll see you next time!

I'd like to see what you can do with "Griftwood" by Ghost. Keep up the great work!

I'd argue that many folks who sing the tune don't pay attention to the words.

I may be an outlier, but I prefer a more metronomic presentation of these songs. Also, this is one of your better songs with regard to vibrato. The less the better methinks. Can you discuss these?

@JulienNeel

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your feedback! My two cents on the above: - I think such a song in 3:4 with rather cheesy lyrics, needs some rubato for storytelling and for musical interest more generally, like emphasizing certain climactic moments. I was otherwise rather metronomic, I think? - Vibrato isn't an ornamental effect, it's a consequence of how I try to sing: supported air flow, balanced air pressures above / below the vocal folds, minimizing unnecessary tensions, etc.). The classical singing approach enables me to project my voice and give it a fuller and relaxed tone than over-pressure singing (which gives you a straight but tenser tone that won't carry as well). Hope my response doesn't sound too pompous! I'm just singing by instinct, I'm mostly self-taught.
