New Blog

I am a privately trained Heldentenor [German Heroic Tenor] and have been singing for thirty years. 


The Heldentenor voice is much misunderstood. Think Lauritz Melchior, as opposed to say Italian Dramatic tenors such as Corelli. Heldentenors are rare voices and because of the dark colouring are usually mis-placed as heavy dramatic tenor or tenor-baritone. But these are incorrect. I will be covering the differences in colour and balance between voices, and their uses. 

This blog will contain my personal observations and comments. I will particularly focus on Voice and breathing, I will also spend time on presentation and technique.

I trust these views will be of interest.
