As a male, I'll comment on the two male entries.

Actor, am I correct in thinking that you probably listen to the OBC more often than other English recordings? I can sense some of Terrence Mann's voice in your recording. He played Javert with a much lighter voice than other recorded Javerts. I much prefer the stronger, more staunch deep baritone of Allam and Quast, but that's just a matter of taste and your recording was very well done.

SweeneyHyde, the biggest problem with your recording was the poor backing track--with a better backing, you would have sounded even better! Try to push the emotion more in your voice though--Javert's Suicide isn't a one-note aria, it's an emotional journey and rollercoaster in song.
Sweeney Hyde

I have listened to all the entries and I have enjoyed doing so.

I'm just curious as to one thing...why did happyguava just record herself and not someone else with her in A Little Fall of Rain...

Yes I made them that way (I hope I didn't overdo it). I can do that with some software I have (Magix Music Maker).

Omfg...Fantine!

Your "L'un Vers L'autre" is gorgeous!!!

*Falls in love"
Fantine

It's terrible Confused

I'm listening to it now and Marie's voice is far louder than mine Confused I couldn't fade it out. I should delete it. I might....
Quique

It's fine, in my opinion. Yes, you could hear Marie's voice, but yours is easily discernible on top of her's. You should leave it.
bwaydisaster

Hey dolls!

I just wanted to let you guys know that I really appreciate criticism...so give me lots of it! Wink

And yea, I know I'm incredibly nasal, I'm working on it Very Happy

Well done everyone, never posted on this board, I think I might start to.
eponine5

I missed all the voting and everything! d'oh!

Well done to everyone anyway! Could you maybe upload the links again now that the results have been announced? I'd love to hear them.
Fantine

That's too much work. People have known this was coming for months and the clips have been put up for a week, so anyone who missed it... Too bad.
eponine5

Okay then... but just to clarify, the reason why I didn't listen to them was because I've been on holiday since late July and until yesterday.
Quique

^ Don't feel bad. I missed out too. d'oh!

I neglected the dates, and before I knew it, the voting was over, lol.
Fantine

That's because these things always take waaaay too long. So voting only lasted a week.
Aimee

Well done to all and a big round of applause to Fantine for organising it yet again.
