VERDI, Giuseppe
Falstaff
“È sogno? o realtà?”
Juliane Banse, guest professor
Gabriel Alonso Díaz, student
Laurence Verna, accompanying pianist
Professor Banse begins her session by advising the student that, when entering the lower register, they should try to maintain the same position, control, and air pressure as before, without changing anything or forcing. To this end, she proposes an exercise.
They return to the beginning to achieve a correct entry and focus on maintaining that high sound quality. The professor continues with instructions on voice placement for certain syllables to improve the sound. In the following section, the student must exercise more control to avoid losing support and correct positioning and breathing. To gain control, she suggests taking advantage of short notes and consonants.
Juliane Banse continues to review each phrase in detail, providing instructions mainly on placement, support and focus, relaxation, breathing, etc., to achieve vocal control and the best possible sound at all times.
