Lesson transcript:
The people that inspired me to start singing, first and foremost, were my father.
My dad used to sing around the house all the time.
It was amazing what he would do.
His record collection was extensive, covering a wide range of genres, including:
Artists included:
It was just incredible.
Coming from a large family allowed me to extend my education into my brothers' and sisters' music. They were into rock bands and folk music, exposing me to various styles as I grew up. Eventually, I grasped onto certain singers that truly inspired me, giving me the courage to try it for myself.
On a classical level, my key influences were:
That performance was a real groundbreaker for me. I played that role at 19, heavily influenced by Carreras's rendition.
I never expected to perform alongside him at the Royal Albert Hall. It felt like a dream come true, and I learned so much from simply listening to him.
One of the key lessons I learned early on was that you have to listen. It's crucial to constantly absorb the influences around you.
Then rock music emerged, and Freddie Mercury became a big influence as well.
In jazz, I loved Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Rock and roll filled my heart and soul.
He had an amazing tonal quality and loved classical music too. A perfect example is his song "It's Now or Never," which mirrors "O Sole Mio." His ability to bridge genres showed his love for music.
Elvis taught me a lot, not just how to sing or create tonal quality but also how to love music.
There's no single music form or art form; everything exists in one big room.
There's no separation for me between classical and rock and roll. You could stand Mozart next to Keith Richards; they were both rock stars of their time.
Ultimately, you need an artist to connect with, someone who inspires you to explore and embrace different types of music and make them your own.
Alfie Boe est un ténor originaire de Fleetwood, sur la côte du Lancashire. Il a chanté sur bon nombre des plus grandes scènes lyriques du monde, a mené la distribution des Misérables dans le West End pendant près d'un an et s'est produit au Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert au palais de Buckingham. Il a placé quatre albums dans le top ten et obtenu des ventes disque de platine au Royaume-Uni, avec des tournées à guichets fermés dans des salles telles que le Royal Festival Hall et le Royal Albert Hall. Dans son cours, il partage les exercices vocaux quotidiens et les échauffements qu'il utilise avant de se produire — de Jean Valjean à ses prestations pour la reine — le savoir-faire qui maintient une voix puissante en forme. read more
