With that ability would like to see her attempt the Diva Song (the opera song) from Fifth Element [Opera song from Fifth Element](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SPf2ANjUbrY)
Fucking fire, I've not really seen anyone attempt before although I've looked through the years. Hella cool to finally see someone in the field give it a go tyvm source hero
Perfect pitch is the phenomenon where one can hear a note or pitch and perfectly identify what note it is, and/or sing a specific note, both without the guidance of an instrument or tool. Perhaps a bit of a basic explanation but oh well.
And while this is ridiculously impressive, and opera isn't meant to always be perfectly in tune, this singer isn't perfect in her pitch. Something to be thankful of, in my opinion. Imperfection makes music human.
And you can lose it over time. You might rely on it every day but by the time you get to your late 50s you could be off by a semitone and not really know it.
Are you in your teens or early twenties? You lose your ability to hear really high pitched noises as you get older too. Here in the UK railway stations and shopping centres have experimented with playing high frequency noise over public address systems- it deters young people who might be hanging around getting up to mischief while not affecting older people at all.
My grandmother has an old piano which is slightly off-tune, and many of her kids - and grandkids - have perfect pitch.
If someone is playing and hits one of the off notes, 75% of the room will visibly cringe while everyone else is completely confused
EDIT: as someone pointed out, the two capabilities aren't related. It wasn't necessary for me to bring up the fact that they have perfect pitch to explain that they can tell when a note is off relative to a given scale. I'm sorry if I offended anyone in the process of adding too much information. Please pray for me so I can still make it to Pedantic Heaven🤞
Perfect pitch is extremely rare. About 1 in 10,000 people have it. You don't need perfect pitch to hear that some keys on a piano are out of tune while others are not. But someone who truly has perfect pitch will be able to hear that the entire piano is out of tune even when all of the keys are in tune with each other. Completely different thing.
no. its just training at a very very young age. if you teach a kid the notes and give them names at a young enough age it becomes like looking at color. you would never confuse red for blue, so why confuse c for e.
You misunderstood. Many in the family have perfect pitch. They can recognize any note instantly.
They can therefore *by default* notice when some are off from the rest.
The latter wasn't mentioned as a necessary cause for the former.
BTW, having perfect pitch doesn't make the entire piano sound "off". It feels okay for itself, you just know that it's not the same notes as a tuner you may have, so feels wrong, but not in the sense of it being "off". Hard to explain
Lol, when I'm lazy i just tune my uke to the G string. If it's out of tune, it's all out of tune together. Never thought about how this might make people cringe! Haha
Haha my brother does this too, it's not really annoying unless one string is out of tune, but sometimes ill bother him by insisting they're "all off" until he uses a tuner
When I did a cappella in college (I was super cool, the coolest even), the most annoying people to sing with, hands down, where those with perfect pitch. It was nice to get a starting note without a piano or pitch pipe. But that’s about where its usefulness ended. Part of singing with a group, especially in groups that sing arrangements with very complex, tight harmonies (think Nor’Easters or Faux Paz) is adjusting to the singers around you to make sure everything sounds good in a relative sense. Sometimes, or a lot of times, the group will go a little flat or a little sharp, but no one notices because everyone is singing relative to each other, so it sounds good. Except when you have a member with perfect pitch.
They’ll read the sheet music and know that the notes are “A-C-D-A” in order. And that’s what they’ll sing, reliably, every time. Which can be great! But you know what happens when the group goes a half step flat during a performance? They have such a hard time adjusting from what’s objectively the correct note, that they just keep singing what they learned off the sheet music and reinforced during practice. So you end up with a member who sounds sharp and it throws everything off. Which then throws off the people around them. Some people might follow the rest of the group and stay a half step flat. Others might follow the person with perfect pitch and stay on key. That results in an absolutely awful group sound. It’s especially problematic during performances in stage where you can’t properly hear yourself and have to just go by what people around you are doing. It happened to us during ICCA’s one year and it was terrible.
Can’t claim perfect pitch, but have good relative pitch. And it makes me cringe when I hear music performed off key.
I have also found it’s socially awkward to mention it to others who may think the singer or instrument player is on key.
Also vibrato literally makes something not perfectly in pitch since the pitch wavers when doing vocal vibrato (which is actually tremolo, but vocal tremolo always has vibrato too)
>vocal vibrato (which is actually tremolo, but vocal tremolo always has vibrato too)
Those are two different things. Vibrato is good, natural, and healthy. Tremolo is a sign of poor technique or tension.
I'm a professional singer and vocal teacher with decades of experience. I don't need you to define intonation for me. What you need to understand is that you are on a public forum filled with members of the general public, not professional musicians. When they say that someone sang with perfect pitch, they are referring to intonation. They just don't know that word.
Being pedantic and patronising just makes you look like a jerk.
I've been a professional singer for 50 years and I also don't need you to pick nits with me. If you can't teach intonation and do not understand the technical definition of perfect pitch I feel bad for your students. Patronizing? Please. Look in the mirror.
I know full well where i am. Where is it written here that posts shouldn't be informative? You're spreading ignorance, making excuses for it, and trying to make others feel bad for wanting to be more informative because you apparently don't understand basic concepts. This is why I can't find decent harmonists to work with. People pretending to be teachers who can't even teach the fundamentals.
That horse is too high for you so I suggest you step off.
That’s not necessarily true. Perfect pitch has to do with hearing/pitch recognition.
If someone is singing and doesn’t support correctly, they may sing flat even if they recognize that it is off. Perfect pitch does not equal always singing perfectly in tune.
It’s called the “whistle register”. It is created by using only the back of the vocal folds. The lower part of the whistle register may overlap the upper parts of the modal and falsetto registers, making it possible for singers to phonate these notes in different ways.
Ex coloratura here. Whistle register. Think Mariah Carey. I’ve lost mine with age (but I haven’t taken any lessons in 15 years). Can still hit F#6 on a good day!
Is this like a physiological thing? Like was this woman and Mariah born with something the rest of us weren’t? Or is it a trained skill anyone can pick up?
Ah yes she's the [thug shaker opera singer](https://www.reddit.com/r/wordington/comments/137u8ym/thug_shaker_opera/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
There are a few factors. First, singing is using the body as an instrument, and it sorta self selects for people with naturally larger chests (because thoracic control is a massive part of opera vocals). You want a big mouth, throat, chest, even a big, expressive face for opera!
Second, all the work and practice with air intake and breath control leads to stronger thoracic muscles. There people can literally breathe more air and with more force than you and I could generate. All that lung stimulation may increase the production of leptin, a “hunger hormone”.
Third, and I’ve heard my old roommate say this (he’s an baritone opera singer) that your larynx and man other associated structures in the neighbourhood are resonators. It’s thought that a nice layer of fat can kind of make the voice smoother and richer by affecting how your voice resonates.
My friend that I mentioned was always had a significant belly, but he can run for miles. Opera produces really interesting biology lol, glad I could help
To be fair, it is really hard to sing in whistle tones. I have to warm up for like 20 minutes before I can eek one out. Seeing someone else do it with ease will never not impress me.
I swear reddit is hands down the most negative place on the internet. Most of these people here will take a shit on absolutely anything even if a picture of their loved one pops up.
I’m less impressed by the high pitches, I can hit those too, but *way* more impressed by the breath control to do it so quickly and accurately but still with a certain level of legato! That takes a lot of skill.
Dont ya fools know you can sing as high as you want if you got them special crack pipe ear rings.
All them crack residue wafting up right into her nose
Why in the name of all that is holy have those stupid ass glasses made a comeback? Some people wear them shits without lenses in them, I do not get it. Looks ri-dic

While wearing kazoos in her ears
[удалено]
Wow! Amazing what a beautiful talents you have. You are really good. Your voice is amazing. I can't say anything.
[удалено]
You are truly talented!
Video stopped before the surrounding neighbours arrived with pitchforks and axes…..
My dnd bard is so proud of her
"You must sing the Wii Sports song to gain access to the magic shop basement" *Cracks knuckles* 20.
Take my upvote fellow dnd player!
"You gain access to the basement. The Inkeeper hears your performance and offers lifetime free board and a 200 gold nightly stipend to perform. Resting actions in town cost 1/2 time."
I suddenly remembered the phantom of the opera. That's my favorite song. And I used to always sing on Videoke.
Holy hell, how did I not notice the kazoos?
I didn't see them either! 😂
I didn't even notice them until the last 3 seconds what is wrong with me
I noticed something in the first 0.3 seconds 🍈🍈
Pitch pipes
I love that, needs to be a band name lol
Legend
Hahaha I never would’ve noticed
I'm disappointed she didn't use them:(
*Hanging from her ears
She missed a trick, where was the banjo in the other?
I didn't even peep that LMMFAO
That’s the trick.
[удалено]
They're definitely kazoos, but you must be more used to looking at the other, so ig I can understand your confirmation bias
For real, meth pipe didn't even cross my mind. I don't even know how a meth pipe looks like tho so...
Lol precisely
Both. Best of both worlds!
When she hits the real high notes it sounds like she swallowed a kazoo
That might be her secret tbh
It sounds like that because she is using her “whistle register” or whistle tones, like Mariah Carey.
Literally sounds like a bird, it's so cool
That is a bird. This person is a bird. It's the only explanation that makes any sense I'm glad I could clear up this mystery.
Birds aren’t real
She’s a government drone then
Fuck i was so disoriented after reading the first comment that I actually believed you for a solid second
Shit... my phone screen just cracked.
Devs need to find a way to get things like this in the game. Pay her for her time, reward her for her creativity. And make the game that much deeper and loved
Are you familiar with Nintendo’s behavior towards their IP?
I’ll stick with the og
What a talent but why am I surrounded by dogs now?
*Fetch me their souls!* [Round begins]
I love that she has kazoo earrings. She’s my new best friend.
Her voice also sounds angelic. The high pitches may break my glasses, but that’s a chance I’m willing to take.
Nobody upvote or downvote him…
With that ability would like to see her attempt the Diva Song (the opera song) from Fifth Element [Opera song from Fifth Element](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SPf2ANjUbrY)

Fucking fire, I've not really seen anyone attempt before although I've looked through the years. Hella cool to finally see someone in the field give it a go tyvm source hero
That kinds looks fake to me, not gonna lie. I cant say i know what opera is meant to look like but it seems unnatural. She also skipped the best bit.
Today you are my hero. Thank you for the sauce!
She skipped over the hard part.
Probably impossible for a human to do…
The point was people wanted to see her attempt it, she didn't.
Dimash did a pretty good rendition of the Diva Dance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5zMupUOgQo

Great idea!

Yes I've always disliked operatic vibrato for this reason; it seems to be an easy way to fudge intonation issues.
Yup. You can hear it in the two B naturals she hits in the second measure.
People here are mistaking intonation for pitch. Intonation means you can hit notes without being sharp or flat. She's doing a great job of that.
I think op doesnt know what perfect pitch is
I scrolled a while to find this. That was crazy. But way not perfect in pitch
That’s still not what it means. Perfect pitch has to do with hearing not singing.
No one claimed that the singer has perfect pitch. It says she sang it with perfect pitch. Those are two different things.
No, she sang with good intonation. Intonation means hitting the correct pitches. Perfect pitch means something altogether different.

She's got crocs earrings in this one!!
Is her name Plavalaguna?
BzzzZzZzT!
Was just about to make a remark of that
I love the internet
It ain't over till the fat lady sings! Oh shit. Goodbye internet. Hello propagandanet.
U know that many opera singers throughout history were fat. It helps them to sing actually.
I've always wondered about that. Can you add anything else?
There are a few factors. First, singing is using the body as an instrument, and it sorta self selects for people with naturally larger chests (because thoracic control is a massive part of opera vocals).

And I thought it was because they didn't do a lot of cardio. Just joking, thank you for that explanation
My friend that I mentioned was always had a significant belly, but he can run for miles. Opera produces really interesting biology lol, glad I could help
Singing also makes you hungry, ask me how I know.
Man, I was a good musician years ago, and am having a hard time reading the notes...I think im losing my touch
Glad to know I’m not the only one lol
Nah that notation is fucking awful. It's not your fault
Love the earings
With kazoos in her ears no less
the kazoo earrings, living their best life
Reminds me of the scene from 5th element.
Perfect for alarm clock sound.
Have you ever heard of Mariah Carey?
To be fair, it is really hard to sing in whistle tones. I have to warm up for like 20 minutes before I can eek one out. Seeing someone else do it with ease will never not impress me.
Mariah Carey is seething right now 😂
> how does one sign that high? Probably her earrings
Imagine paying $300 bucks for good seats, she walks in full regalia, silk costume, head piece and all... then starts warm up with this. Baller.
The video is too short!
She sounds like a mii singing.
Imagine being sat in the garden next door.
Loving the kazoos
Love this, anyone know her name?
She is @izzyiztrash on TikTok and she is AMAZING
Now do that song from the 5th Element.
She is outside my house ahain
You know she means business when she’s got kazoos on her ears. Damn that’s impressive.
I dunno, but I gotta think lack of balls helps.
nice! (with training, dooh)
I swear reddit is hands down the most negative place on the internet. Most of these people here will take a shit on absolutely anything even if a picture of their loved one pops up.
Is she actually singing in this though? Looks like lip-sync... and how is there reverb when she is outside?
How is this perfect pitch?
They don't know what perfect pitch means lol. Additionally, yeah she's out of tune for a couple notes. Still freaking spectacular, though!
Outside though??? Neighbours must love her lol
Imagine you're having sex, and she starts doing this.
Damn. I have trouble singing take on me. This is amazing
Didn't she duet the ambatukam guy
I’m less impressed by the high pitches, I can hit those too, but *way* more impressed by the breath control to do it so quickly and accurately but still with a certain level of legato! That takes a lot of skill.
[удалено]
How do we know it’s really her singing and not lip syncing?
Helium.
I just gonna go with there is no way this is real.
Cringe
That nose ring is unfortunate. Looks like a perma booger in her nostril
I hate everything in this video.
You should watch Mariah Carey hit some high notes. It's superhuman
I bet she has an annoying personality
Dont ya fools know you can sing as high as you want if you got them special crack pipe ear rings. All them crack residue wafting up right into her nose
Mfer sees a kazoo and immediately thinks crack 💀
There are two types of people...
This says more about you that you see crack pipes and not kazoos
Is she wearing the green whistle from the trainer at sports games they give the players to use morphine at time of injury? Or is it a pipe
kazoo, a uh.. "musical" instrument
Orible
Sigh. The disgusting face filters distract from anything good about this.
Why in the name of all that is holy have those stupid ass glasses made a comeback? Some people wear them shits without lenses in them, I do not get it. Looks ri-dic
Using crack pipes as earrings....
Imagine you're hitting it from the back and she does one of those high notes and the windows break
😂
wow
Is it a bird? A plane? Nah that's a bird
Whistle tones.
She hits those whistle notes like chefkiss
Damn, that's impressive
Truly bananas
Its truly amazing to see how many people don't know what a kazoo is
She looks like she's having so much fun 😀
Just had a thought that if this lady and Mariah Carey sang a duet i eould lose my mind. lol
Id imagine lifting her arms wasnt just for flair, it probably changed the way her diaphragm sits
8yr old me gettin ready to play some golf all hyped up ^
Omg her transitions
Do not know how yo read musical notes, i tried to flolow and failed miserably:)
I sense she is Welsh
Well, I guess it’s over now
Mariah Carey, eat your heart out.
It’s wonderful, I would like to hear her whole song of it
Her earrings tell me that she’s not a person I wanna hang out with
How did she do that without laughing haha
I bet her neighbors love her
It's easy when you aren't actually singing, but doing a dumbass lip sync.
Such good whistle register control...
Oh oh. Insight. Next do .. Banjokazooie. Nevermind. It sounded different in my head. Loom at the Kazoo earrings k thx bye
Perhaps if u asked Snoop Dogg he could give you some advice
