Two diverse, but related questions on expression:
From MegaFreddie07: "Joyce, I am a voice major in university and aspire to have a career like yours ... I just LOVE your videos, you give such great advice. I am singing my first recital next week and there are a few songs with quite a vague meaning ... I find that arias are much easier to act, but pieces by say, Vivaldi can be quite hard to interpret. Do you have any advice on how to be expressive in these types of pieces?"
And from Tookah Sapper: "Hi Joyce, I have a question for your next vlog! How do you give so much meaning and intention to those daunting coloratura passages?! As a young singer, sometimes coloratura just ends up feeling like a vocalise. Any advice you have would be so wonderful!! Thank you so much! Tookah Sapper P.S. - My name is pronounced like "I took a nap." : )
