In this video, I (a bel canto specialist and voice expert) dive into Epica’s “Once Upon a Nightmare” from the Omega Alive live concert recording and explore the vocal artistry of Simone Simons from a technical and emotional perspective. Watch as I analyze her breathtaking performance, breaking down the intricate bel canto techniques that make her voice so extraordinary, and share my insights as a professional opera singer and voice teacher.
As always, if you have a favorite vocal performance or artist you'd like me to react to, drop your suggestion in the comments! I love hearing from you and discovering new musical wonders together.
