Male Voice Types

Thanks for the video! Maybe next time do a soprano version!

Tito Schipa totally got me! It's not only about his beautiful voice, but also the way he was singing!

Also I would like to add that the fach system doesn't really matter as long as you can sing the role and sound right. A real good singer can use proper technique to push their voices to sing a role in another fach. For example, Caballe can sing both Liu and Turandot, etc.

Besides there are too many differences among singers even within the same fach. Pavarotti, Stefano, Jerry Hadley, etc are typical lyric tenors with lighter timbre. Carreras is not a typical lyric tenor due to his darker timbre. Also I find it very unconvincing that both Franco Corelli and Plácido Domingo are both spinto tenors (not saying you’re wrong) Domingo I believe is a textbook spinto in his earlier years. There are many videos on fach system and most of them used Domingo as an example for spinto. The piece you picked, E Lucevan le Stelle is a good example. This is exactly how a spinto tenor would sound like. Corelli I believe is more on the dramatic side. I think his voice is too big to be considered as a spinto and he won the HighC battle against Birgit Nilsson (whose voice was huge) consistently. I always think he's more of a dramatic tenor.

I couldn't think of any Kavalier Baritone either. I think Escamillo and Don Giovanni would be two typical Kavalier Baritone roles so maybe pick someone who performed both roles? For Verdi Baritones, I would also add Piero Cappuccilli and Giorgio Zancanaro. They are both great singers. (Oh certainly don't forget our favourite baritone Plácido Domingo)

One of my favourite bass singers is Samuel Ramey, but I am not sure how to classify him.

Thanks for the video, amazing educational content.

I think that the examples are not the best.

The video is very interesting, but I think that the examples are not the best.

Jerome Hines is hard to drop into 2nd octave. I probably think that his vocal cord （ability to close) is not well, although his high notes appear to be bass type

Nice presentation. Some kavalier baritones I could think of is Gino Bechi and Lawrence Tibbett. Robert Merrill had quite a big voice he was a successful Verdi baritone. Interesting in depth section on the basses. Siepi is often seen more as a basso cantante. Of course the greatest challenge with bass is that it is extremely difficult to sing low notes over an orchestra. So the lowest bass categories are not meant for opera, you wouldn't be able to hear these notes over an orchestra. I always though that the contrabass was more of a reference to the resonance that singer produced, instead of the vocal range?
I really enjoy Boris Shtokolov, whenever I hear his voice it always feels like a pleasant surprise.

Why the second lyric basso profundo video is too long

Do you think the Baryton Martin is a rare voice. My current teacher categorizes me as on . But i'm not fully sure

Quick point: The passaggio of Schwer Heldentenors/ Baryton Martons is E4, which is why they sound so similar. Schwer being the dramatic voice, whereas the baryton martin (or "leggiero baritone") being, even when properly trained, the more modest voice. Most baryton martins just fully convert to baritone anyways (Battistini, De Luca, etc).

F4 is Echt/ Italian type dramatic tenor. F# is spinto, and so on.
