Seeking a Portuguese Speaker to Help with a Singing Instructional Video

[Edmundus1581]

Greetings!

I’ve been taking singing lessons for several years with the same teacher. He’s a very good teacher but “classical” is not his primary expertise.

We have recently been very impressed with studies in the Vaccai method from this singer. (The YouTube channel here, not Placido Domingo himself!)

When it gets to 0:50 the singer gives some technique instructions about ears, face and cranium and when I watch it with my teacher I can see him paying close attention, trying to work out his tips. It seems like my teacher is very interested in his points.

We are guessing that it’s in Portuguese because, as far as we can tell, the singer is from Brazil.

So, as a bit of fun, and also to assist myself and my teacher, is there anyone out there who can translate those instructions, please?

Thanks in advance.

@gertabelle. You may enjoy this, or even be able to help?

Thank you, @Beryllos. Yes, it’ll be my pleasure to do some translating here, but it’s going to take a couple of days, is that okay? The sound isn’t working on my computer and I have to get that fixed.

Thanks so much, @BartholomewB and @Beryllos!

Of course, take whatever time you need. It’s worth waiting for

So, I take it as confirmed that he’s speaking Portuguese then! Progress already.

I’m completely useless in this regard, I’m afraid. I can understand a bit of Spanish, and I’m fairly fluent in five-year-old-with-speech-impediment.

But I’m useless with Portuguese, sorry.
