Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
6
Today we have our friend Sana, right here.
7
She's an opera singer.
8
We decided to react to the very viral and popular song that popped off recently from Rosalia.
9
And what's the song called?
10
The...
11
Berghain.
12
Berghain.
13
Berghain.
14
Does that mean anything?
15
Yes, it's the nightclub in Berlin.
16
Oh!
17
Oh, wow, I didn't know that.
18
We haven't actually seen this whole video in its entirety, but we see so many clips of it, and people tell us to react to it, so we're gonna react to it now.
19
Looks like a German apartment.
20
A fancy one.
21
Oh, yes.
22
A really fancy one.
23
Oh, fancy.
24
Wow, okay, wow, wow, wow, wow.
25
Oh wow, wow, wow, wow.
26
Okay, wow, um...
27
Okay, I feel like Vivaldi.
28
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
29
I love Vivaldi.
30
I'm actually very impressed they can even fit an orchestra into a single apartment.
31
That is so tight for an orchestra.
32
How do you even...
33
I can imagine the musicians being like, Oh...
34
Yeah, yeah.
35
Just like, try not to poke each other's eyes out with their bow sticks.
36
And also this, the girl here, she's getting blasted by a trombone.
37
True!
38
That's actually not good for musicians.
39
Aren't they actually playing here?
40
Well, I don't know.
41
Actually, I didn't...
42
That's a good question.
43
So, I think they look like legit musicians.
44
Mm-hmm.
45
For sure.
46
But I don't know if the actual music is...
47
It sounds a bit interesting.
48
Okay.
49
No one's playing the actual main...
50
Like...
51
Yeah.
52
It's very fast.
53
Yeah.
54
You can see people doing...
55
Which is fine, and someone's doing...
56
Oh yeah.
57
Which is doable, but...
58
That's really fast.
59
That's some like, Hilary Hahn type sheet.
60
Yeah, but it's too...
61
The articulation and the volume is too like...
62
Perfect, yeah, yeah.
63
Everything's too flat.
64
It shouldn't sound that...
65
I don't know, it sounds...
66
Sounds a bit process to me.
67
I don't know.
68
Maybe...I'd be curious if we recorded the violin part, but damn, they'll teach me how to play so fast.
69
Anyway, anyway, the whole point is the singing part.
70
I'm not the hell with me, I'm not the devil, I mean, so one of the things, when I saw this clip go viral, is so many people praising her for her kind of like classic...
71
I don't know, is she classically trained or...
72
I mean, clearly she's using a more classical type of scene.
73
Yes.
74
But as an opera...
75
Yeah.
76
How do you feel?
77
I feel like it's in the...
78
to operatic style, like to this direction, a little bit like classical singing, but it's not fully that.
79
Like, I think she has her like own unique sound.
80
Okay.
81
She's using more air in the sound.
82
What does that mean, more air in a sound?
83
Because I feel like the viewers might not know.
84
Yeah.
85
What does that mean?
86
When you sing, you can sing like...
87
Oh, that's...
88
That's more air.
89
Yeah, you can use more air when you put like...
90
not so much closure...
91
with your vocal cords.
92
Damn, guys, that projection was huge.
93
That was crazy.
94
Yeah, you guys...
95
Whoa!
96
Yeah, I guess it's like...
97
Flortando.
98
Yeah, normally we play.
99
Yes.
100
She might be playing.
101
Exactly.
102
Yeah.
103
So it's kind of the sound.
104
Yeah.
105
I think she wants this kind of sound.
106
Okay.
107
That's why she's singing this way.
108
Would that type of sound work in traditional opera scene in a big hall?
109
No, you need the projection.
110
Yeah.
111
But I think in baroque music, Mm-hmm.
112
For example, you can use more air in some parts to express something.
113
And it reminds me also like from Vivaldi, like the beginning.
114
I hear you right.
115
And also the lyrics are this kind of Sturm und Drang, like giving the raw emotions.
116
Oh, Sturm und Drang?
117
Sturm und Drang.
118
Sturm und- Oh, Sturm und Drang!
119
Yes, I remember that word from- I've studied that!
120
Yes!
121
Sturm and Drang.
122
Oh, you remember this.
123
Professor Stephen Emerson taught us.
124
Sturm und Drang.
125
And what does that mean like specifically?
126
It's like late 18th century.
127
It's about more expressing the art through raw emotions, more than rational thinking.
128
Ah, it's more emotional.
129
We are not serious.
130
I'm a taronga, I'm a taronga When you're born, you're a taronga So what about the singing?
131
I think it's interesting It's because she has her own sound, own choices But then she also changes to the more pop-ish sound Oh yeah, okay, the second verse felt more pop-ish Spanish, yeah.
132
Oh, that was Spanish!
133
When she sings...
134
Yeah, in Spanish.
135
Oh, I didn't realize, I'm just...
136
My bad.
137
There are some little bit coming, but not that much, but...
138
I think it's good.
139
It's not too wide.
140
I like asking that question.
141
Yeah...
142
About vibrato.
143
Yeah...
144
We can talk about it later!
145
I see!
146
Cool, should we try it and play it?
147
To play?
148
And sing it?
149
Yeah, let's do it.
150
This is our version.
151
Sight reading version.
152
Dude, that's...
153

154

156

170

171

172

173
Okay.
174
I wasn't quite like...
175
Not sad.
176
Damn, that's just— Okay, that felt so good.
177
Okay, sure.
178
Should you start, like try the beginning as well?
179
We'll go from the beginning.
180
Do you want quickly that I tell you what...
181
Oh yes, please.
182
Yes, okay.
183
Oh, okay.
184
When you sing...
185

186
Seine Angst is meine Angst.

205

217
Okay.
218
Okay, now you know the lyrics and how to sing there.
219
Yes.
220
Okay?
221
So you need a little bit more support.
222
So it's all about breathing.
223
Like feel it here in your diaphragm.
224
and then just like let the air flow but you can go to your like head voice like you need your chest and then you need your head voice and the balance like the chiaroscuro like the dark and the bright bright balanced at the same time so you can like play with like think about that you're a siren like an ambulance or I've heard this sound before.
225
Let the woman stand!
226
You!
227
You!
228
Yes, there is it.
229
You can call it your head voice.
230
Wow.
231
There you go!
232
And there's one trick.
233
Think about it, you're really surprised.
234
Better?
235
Wow.
236
Yeah.
237
Yes, great.
238
One thing is that when you go up, you can think that you're going down.
239
So it's like an elevator.
240
You need the...
241
Yeah!
242
Whoa.
243
That's my whole verse.
244
That's awesome.
245
I'm just like an opera singer.
246
So I sing it my style.
247
I don't try to imitate her because I cannot do what she's doing.
248
So I just do it my way.
249
The more I listen to it, the more I'm like, really appreciating and liking the inspiration, and how people these days are paying more homage and looking more inspiration to the past.
250
You see it in artists like Leve, you see it here, you see it in like, the Nike ad.
251
Oh yeah, let's talk.
252
So I think that's really cool.
253
So I guess the question that everyone is dying to know is, as a representative of the opera community, do you approve of this song?
254
Absolutely.
255
Great job.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
