1
00:00:15,316 --> 00:00:24,356
Speaker 1: Pushkin. Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah good.

2
00:00:24,476 --> 00:00:26,956
Speaker 1: Let's double it. Make sure you support the whole time.

3
00:00:28,996 --> 00:00:33,716
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

4
00:00:33,756 --> 00:00:36,956
Speaker 1: Now wiggle around to keep your whole body loose and relaxed.

5
00:00:37,596 --> 00:00:41,716
Speaker 1: I love that. That's my favorite. I knew you were

6
00:00:41,716 --> 00:00:43,196
Speaker 1: going to say that, But what I want to know

7
00:00:43,396 --> 00:00:45,476
Speaker 1: is is there a reason for it or does it

8
00:00:45,516 --> 00:00:48,436
Speaker 1: just feel good when you sing it? It felt great,

9
00:00:48,476 --> 00:00:51,036
Speaker 1: I think because it really helps me to place my

10
00:00:51,196 --> 00:00:55,036
Speaker 1: boys in the right place. And then every time were

11
00:00:55,156 --> 00:00:58,956
Speaker 1: changing the consonant, And the reason I have you keep

12
00:00:59,036 --> 00:01:01,916
Speaker 1: changing the consonants when we're practicing is so that you

13
00:01:01,956 --> 00:01:05,236
Speaker 1: get used to singing them easily in any range, right yeah,

14
00:01:05,276 --> 00:01:07,516
Speaker 1: and you'll be able to pronounce them on higher notes,

15
00:01:07,636 --> 00:01:11,036
Speaker 1: lower notes and sound good when you do it. So

16
00:01:11,076 --> 00:01:13,116
Speaker 1: you don't tense up or tighten up, because some words

17
00:01:13,116 --> 00:01:18,276
Speaker 1: are harder to enunciate when you're singing high. That's me

18
00:01:18,436 --> 00:01:23,116
Speaker 1: with Rosalia, a Spanish singer, songwriter, and producer. She's a

19
00:01:23,156 --> 00:01:27,916
Speaker 1: star in both the Latin and American music scenes. This

20
00:01:28,076 --> 00:01:31,276
Speaker 1: is backstage passed with Eric Vitro and I'm Eric Vitro.

21
00:01:31,836 --> 00:01:34,236
Speaker 1: I have to say I love my job because I

22
00:01:34,276 --> 00:01:36,396
Speaker 1: get to coach some of the most talented and famous

23
00:01:36,396 --> 00:01:39,236
Speaker 1: singers working today. On this show, I'll talk to them

24
00:01:39,236 --> 00:01:41,756
Speaker 1: about their lives, their craft, and what it takes to

25
00:01:41,796 --> 00:01:46,236
Speaker 1: really make it big in the business. So, now tell me,

26
00:01:46,316 --> 00:01:49,356
Speaker 1: do you have a least favorite exercise, one that you

27
00:01:49,396 --> 00:01:52,796
Speaker 1: don't like, one that I don't like, or do you

28
00:01:52,956 --> 00:01:55,796
Speaker 1: just love all of them because they're also I love

29
00:01:55,876 --> 00:01:59,356
Speaker 1: all of them? Naa, there's one that I think is

30
00:01:59,476 --> 00:02:02,796
Speaker 1: very tricky for me that has like a big big jumps,

31
00:02:02,836 --> 00:02:05,796
Speaker 1: but I don't remember the melo. I don't remember which

32
00:02:05,796 --> 00:02:09,116
Speaker 1: one was. What one that you were like like, way, way, way,

33
00:02:09,236 --> 00:02:12,756
Speaker 1: way way. Yes, those are hard. That's hard for me,

34
00:02:13,116 --> 00:02:15,356
Speaker 1: I think, yes, because I got to place the boys

35
00:02:15,796 --> 00:02:18,836
Speaker 1: in a high place. Since the beginning. I always forget that.

36
00:02:18,956 --> 00:02:22,996
Speaker 1: I don't know why I always forgetting you like from

37
00:02:22,996 --> 00:02:24,716
Speaker 1: the beginning, you're got to place it in the front,

38
00:02:24,756 --> 00:02:27,236
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, yeah, right, right right, So I

39
00:02:27,236 --> 00:02:29,396
Speaker 1: think it's good that I practice it, but because it's

40
00:02:29,476 --> 00:02:32,036
Speaker 1: hard for me, Yeah, that's one that I don't know.

41
00:02:32,156 --> 00:02:34,556
Speaker 1: That's why I do that exercise, because you really do

42
00:02:34,676 --> 00:02:36,796
Speaker 1: have to place it in a good placement. Yes, if

43
00:02:36,796 --> 00:02:38,956
Speaker 1: you want to do a smooth transition going from low

44
00:02:38,996 --> 00:02:42,436
Speaker 1: to high, and so it helps with your muscle memory

45
00:02:42,436 --> 00:02:46,956
Speaker 1: of that, right, you know. Yeah. Rosalia has collaborated with

46
00:02:47,076 --> 00:02:50,156
Speaker 1: artists such as Bad Bunny, Billie Eilis, Jay Belvin, and

47
00:02:50,236 --> 00:02:54,036
Speaker 1: Travis Scott. You might know her songs ConA t K

48
00:02:54,316 --> 00:03:14,556
Speaker 1: N Lamente or Piano n Tumira. Now she's a big star,

49
00:03:14,716 --> 00:03:17,836
Speaker 1: but that wasn't always the case. Do you remember the

50
00:03:17,916 --> 00:03:20,556
Speaker 1: first song you ever saying When you were a little girl,

51
00:03:21,156 --> 00:03:24,516
Speaker 1: There was this song that I heard in the TV.

52
00:03:25,556 --> 00:03:32,476
Speaker 1: I think it was called Akuarella. This was like Hello Smario,

53
00:03:33,116 --> 00:03:36,236
Speaker 1: something like that, no no no no no no no

54
00:03:36,236 --> 00:03:39,716
Speaker 1: no no, no no Nina something like that, I think was.

55
00:03:39,916 --> 00:03:42,836
Speaker 1: I sang it for the first time because my dad

56
00:03:42,876 --> 00:03:45,076
Speaker 1: he asked me to sing it in front of the family,

57
00:03:45,276 --> 00:03:47,036
Speaker 1: and I was like so shy, I didn't want to,

58
00:03:47,196 --> 00:03:49,156
Speaker 1: and he was like really like pushing, like come on,

59
00:03:49,196 --> 00:03:50,676
Speaker 1: come on, come on, sing it, sing it, sing it.

60
00:03:51,316 --> 00:03:54,276
Speaker 1: And I did it, and then I remember that everybody

61
00:03:54,356 --> 00:03:57,116
Speaker 1: in the family it's been a year that I didn't

62
00:03:57,156 --> 00:04:00,356
Speaker 1: sew them that we didn't so I shot up. But

63
00:04:00,396 --> 00:04:03,436
Speaker 1: then I sang it and they started crying. I was

64
00:04:03,476 --> 00:04:05,516
Speaker 1: like nine years old or something like that, and I

65
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:08,196
Speaker 1: didn't understand what was going on in that moment. One

66
00:04:09,156 --> 00:04:13,076
Speaker 1: and later I was like, okay, like I can communicate

67
00:04:13,876 --> 00:04:18,676
Speaker 1: through music. Wow, So that's how it really started for you. Yeah,

68
00:04:18,716 --> 00:04:21,116
Speaker 1: I think so, because I was like a little bit

69
00:04:21,156 --> 00:04:23,356
Speaker 1: shy at the same time, I was like I was

70
00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:27,236
Speaker 1: like having fun and laughing and screaming, like with a

71
00:04:27,276 --> 00:04:31,956
Speaker 1: lot of energy. I was the type of kid. Oh

72
00:04:31,996 --> 00:04:36,236
Speaker 1: that's a shot. I had no idea. I would have

73
00:04:36,316 --> 00:04:43,356
Speaker 1: never guess that. It's not surprising. No, well, I was

74
00:04:43,436 --> 00:04:46,956
Speaker 1: like that. I was like that, but when I felt like, oh,

75
00:04:46,956 --> 00:04:50,036
Speaker 1: I was being observed. When I was too conscious about it,

76
00:04:50,076 --> 00:04:52,996
Speaker 1: I didn't felt like doing it like singing. It used

77
00:04:53,036 --> 00:04:55,716
Speaker 1: to be something more like I did for fun than

78
00:04:55,876 --> 00:05:00,076
Speaker 1: something that I wanted them to see. I wasn't overthinking

79
00:05:00,076 --> 00:05:01,356
Speaker 1: it when I was a kid. I was just doing

80
00:05:01,356 --> 00:05:03,716
Speaker 1: it because I had fun with it. Right. Oh, that's

81
00:05:03,756 --> 00:05:05,996
Speaker 1: so great. That's the best way, right, Yeah. I think

82
00:05:06,076 --> 00:05:07,756
Speaker 1: so when you don't think about it and you're not

83
00:05:07,836 --> 00:05:10,676
Speaker 1: in your head about it exactly. Yeah, I know that

84
00:05:10,716 --> 00:05:13,076
Speaker 1: you say that. I think that you helped me to

85
00:05:13,756 --> 00:05:17,956
Speaker 1: not overthink. At the same time, you helped me to

86
00:05:18,036 --> 00:05:20,956
Speaker 1: see a lot of details, technical details I would never

87
00:05:20,996 --> 00:05:24,116
Speaker 1: see by myself, because yeah, it's very hard to see

88
00:05:24,516 --> 00:05:27,396
Speaker 1: unless somebody sees from the outside and tell you in

89
00:05:27,436 --> 00:05:29,796
Speaker 1: points this and that. I think I could never do

90
00:05:29,836 --> 00:05:32,996
Speaker 1: for myself. And it's so helpful when somebody's like, hey,

91
00:05:32,996 --> 00:05:35,036
Speaker 1: did you realize this? Did you realize you can do

92
00:05:35,156 --> 00:05:38,236
Speaker 1: like that? And these things. I feel like it's been

93
00:05:38,316 --> 00:05:42,476
Speaker 1: very helpful since we started doing class. Oh good, well,

94
00:05:42,516 --> 00:05:45,276
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like that's my job as a

95
00:05:45,356 --> 00:05:49,716
Speaker 1: teacher to really listen and then being able to say, hey,

96
00:05:49,756 --> 00:05:53,356
Speaker 1: you know, that might sound really good, but this might

97
00:05:53,396 --> 00:05:56,756
Speaker 1: even sound better, or just to open your mind to

98
00:05:56,916 --> 00:06:02,836
Speaker 1: trying new things. Possibilities, possibilities. It's all about possibilities, right, yeah, yeah,

99
00:06:02,876 --> 00:06:06,236
Speaker 1: And I feel like the more that we open our

100
00:06:06,276 --> 00:06:09,316
Speaker 1: mind to that, then all of a sudden, things that

101
00:06:09,316 --> 00:06:12,716
Speaker 1: we never even thought we'd try we're doing. Yes, Yes,

102
00:06:12,876 --> 00:06:15,196
Speaker 1: I feel like that when we work together that Yeah,

103
00:06:15,236 --> 00:06:18,836
Speaker 1: it is your job, it's your career, it's important. But

104
00:06:18,916 --> 00:06:21,476
Speaker 1: I always do feel like we're having a good time.

105
00:06:21,596 --> 00:06:24,916
Speaker 1: We are having fun. Yeah, we're always laughing a lot.

106
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:29,236
Speaker 1: It's a joyous experience, and that's what's so great. I

107
00:06:29,276 --> 00:06:32,316
Speaker 1: think If people lose that, they don't do as well,

108
00:06:32,396 --> 00:06:34,116
Speaker 1: they don't sing as well, and their career doesn't do

109
00:06:34,156 --> 00:06:37,276
Speaker 1: as well. There has to be a lightness. Yeah. When

110
00:06:37,276 --> 00:06:39,036
Speaker 1: you take it to serious, don't you think that your

111
00:06:39,076 --> 00:06:42,076
Speaker 1: body tends, Yeah, it's a disaster, usually much more than

112
00:06:42,116 --> 00:06:45,236
Speaker 1: when you're just having fun with it, and then everything

113
00:06:45,316 --> 00:06:48,036
Speaker 1: flows much more. I think that's one of the most

114
00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:52,036
Speaker 1: important lessons anybody can learn, is not to overthink it

115
00:06:52,116 --> 00:06:54,716
Speaker 1: and not to take it too seriously. Yeah, and nothing

116
00:06:54,796 --> 00:06:57,396
Speaker 1: that you always remind me these things, and I think

117
00:06:57,396 --> 00:07:00,956
Speaker 1: it's great to have somebody that reminds you to still

118
00:07:01,156 --> 00:07:03,956
Speaker 1: have fun, even if it becomes your job, still have

119
00:07:04,116 --> 00:07:07,876
Speaker 1: fun with it. Still remember why you started doing it.

120
00:07:07,956 --> 00:07:11,356
Speaker 1: Is there a moment that you can remember where you

121
00:07:11,476 --> 00:07:13,796
Speaker 1: knew this is what I'm gonna do. I'm going to

122
00:07:13,876 --> 00:07:17,356
Speaker 1: be a music artist. I'm gonna sing. Yes. I remember

123
00:07:17,396 --> 00:07:21,036
Speaker 1: I was at home with my sister and this woman

124
00:07:21,156 --> 00:07:24,276
Speaker 1: that she used to take care of both of us,

125
00:07:24,436 --> 00:07:26,716
Speaker 1: and I think I was around eight nine years old,

126
00:07:26,796 --> 00:07:30,076
Speaker 1: and I remember Alaska was sounding. I think it was

127
00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:38,876
Speaker 1: sounding on the radio. Alaska used to be like a

128
00:07:39,036 --> 00:07:43,236
Speaker 1: very big singer in my country, and she still is

129
00:07:43,356 --> 00:07:46,196
Speaker 1: an amazing, amazing artist that I admire a lot. And

130
00:07:46,836 --> 00:07:49,956
Speaker 1: Alaska she was like singing something very playful and I

131
00:07:49,996 --> 00:07:52,676
Speaker 1: loved it. Now I was like kind of singing it

132
00:07:52,836 --> 00:07:55,796
Speaker 1: with her when she was like sounding on the radio.

133
00:07:56,196 --> 00:08:01,236
Speaker 1: And then that woman called Maribel. Maribel said, oh, ima artista.

134
00:08:01,476 --> 00:08:04,716
Speaker 1: She says only like, oh, she's feeling herself as an artist,

135
00:08:04,756 --> 00:08:06,876
Speaker 1: like as a singer or something like that. And then

136
00:08:06,876 --> 00:08:09,156
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna do it.

137
00:08:09,876 --> 00:08:13,996
Speaker 1: And since very young, like nine years old, wow, really young,

138
00:08:14,156 --> 00:08:17,636
Speaker 1: when I really really really committed, I decided it. It

139
00:08:17,716 --> 00:08:20,156
Speaker 1: was like a decision. I was like, I'm gonna do this.

140
00:08:20,356 --> 00:08:25,756
Speaker 1: I'm gonna perform. And I started singing on stage when

141
00:08:25,756 --> 00:08:30,196
Speaker 1: I was fourteen fifteen. At sixteen, I started like really working,

142
00:08:30,316 --> 00:08:33,196
Speaker 1: like doing shows and things like that, like going to

143
00:08:33,276 --> 00:08:37,156
Speaker 1: places to perform. Are there any artists, any singers when

144
00:08:37,156 --> 00:08:40,916
Speaker 1: you were young that really inspired you, that made you go, oh,

145
00:08:40,956 --> 00:08:44,956
Speaker 1: I want to do what they're doing. There was Camaronella Isla.

146
00:08:45,556 --> 00:08:49,596
Speaker 1: It was a Flamenco singer, a gypsy singer from Spain

147
00:08:49,756 --> 00:08:53,956
Speaker 1: that I loved. I was like, oh my god, his boys.

148
00:08:54,196 --> 00:08:57,676
Speaker 1: He had a natural way to place his boys in

149
00:08:57,716 --> 00:09:11,556
Speaker 1: a magical way, like really good and it was very

150
00:09:11,596 --> 00:09:15,036
Speaker 1: intuitive the way he did it, and it really inspired me,

151
00:09:15,316 --> 00:09:17,316
Speaker 1: like I wish one day I can sound like that.

152
00:09:17,396 --> 00:09:19,516
Speaker 1: I later I realized, like, okay, my voice is completely

153
00:09:19,516 --> 00:09:29,716
Speaker 1: different than or you are a girl to start, But

154
00:09:30,356 --> 00:09:33,316
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, but I love this man so much.

155
00:09:33,316 --> 00:09:37,516
Speaker 1: I loved his music. I loved this Flamenco traditional music

156
00:09:37,676 --> 00:09:40,396
Speaker 1: from there, and I was I was like, really really

157
00:09:40,396 --> 00:09:44,316
Speaker 1: really inspired by this music and by his boys. So

158
00:09:44,396 --> 00:09:47,996
Speaker 1: I loved camaland la Isla. I loved Lola Flores. She

159
00:09:48,156 --> 00:09:51,356
Speaker 1: was a big, big artist from Spain. Now with Lola,

160
00:09:51,476 --> 00:09:54,756
Speaker 1: did you sing any of her songs or with his

161
00:09:55,076 --> 00:09:59,076
Speaker 1: either one of them? Come on? When I studied it,

162
00:09:59,156 --> 00:10:01,356
Speaker 1: like when I was in college, and did you sing

163
00:10:01,436 --> 00:10:04,756
Speaker 1: some of his songs? Yes? Because it was he used

164
00:10:04,796 --> 00:10:08,036
Speaker 1: to sing a lot of traditional Flamenco music and that's

165
00:10:08,036 --> 00:10:11,716
Speaker 1: what I studied in knowledge. For sure, He's a great influence, Kenny,

166
00:10:11,796 --> 00:10:14,556
Speaker 1: Can you sing a tiny bit of one of those songs? Mmmm?

167
00:10:17,996 --> 00:10:21,116
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Lola. I can sing if you want

168
00:10:21,276 --> 00:10:25,756
Speaker 1: something about Lola. She was like singing this how to vertra,

169
00:10:27,316 --> 00:10:36,356
Speaker 1: how to verta simpa veratoja simprella, veritatoja, how tack the

170
00:10:36,556 --> 00:10:43,036
Speaker 1: bernama and come around just to sing run sobria ru

171
00:10:43,236 --> 00:10:56,716
Speaker 1: sobriairafelii sobodi ruboia to maky sierra cafeliceria. Wow. You know

172
00:10:56,916 --> 00:10:59,956
Speaker 1: I can hear the influence both of them on your

173
00:11:00,156 --> 00:11:05,276
Speaker 1: your voice, the Frisian melodies verything. Yeah, exactly. Well that

174
00:11:05,476 --> 00:11:10,036
Speaker 1: was great training for you because you have the technique

175
00:11:10,076 --> 00:11:14,676
Speaker 1: to be able to sing fast runs accurately. But also, yeah,

176
00:11:14,796 --> 00:11:17,516
Speaker 1: you're very invested in the story, yes, and also it

177
00:11:17,756 --> 00:11:21,716
Speaker 1: really inspired me to write my songs nowadays. Like if

178
00:11:21,796 --> 00:11:24,836
Speaker 1: I haven't studied this music for so long, I don't

179
00:11:24,876 --> 00:11:29,116
Speaker 1: think I could write the music that I write today. Yeah,

180
00:11:29,276 --> 00:11:32,156
Speaker 1: and with him, I feel like you probably got some

181
00:11:32,316 --> 00:11:34,596
Speaker 1: of that strength that you sing with such a solid,

182
00:11:34,716 --> 00:11:39,076
Speaker 1: strong sound, and with her that flow, that beautiful flow,

183
00:11:39,196 --> 00:11:41,476
Speaker 1: with some of that vibrato. And I think that she

184
00:11:41,636 --> 00:11:44,436
Speaker 1: had like a quick, fast vibrato, and I think that

185
00:11:44,516 --> 00:11:47,316
Speaker 1: come out on had like more slower vibrato. Right, And

186
00:11:47,476 --> 00:11:50,196
Speaker 1: they had different style for sure, for sure. Right. But

187
00:11:50,356 --> 00:11:52,956
Speaker 1: that's why you're able to do both, because you listen

188
00:11:53,036 --> 00:11:55,516
Speaker 1: to both and sang along, and that's why you're so

189
00:11:55,796 --> 00:11:59,156
Speaker 1: adept at doing both the faster and the slower, because

190
00:11:59,196 --> 00:12:00,836
Speaker 1: when I say to you, let's do it, you know,

191
00:12:00,916 --> 00:12:05,196
Speaker 1: when we do those exercises with vibrato without vibrato, slow

192
00:12:05,276 --> 00:12:07,516
Speaker 1: it down, you're always able to do it. Not everybody

193
00:12:07,556 --> 00:12:10,036
Speaker 1: can do that. Do you think that it's not that

194
00:12:10,116 --> 00:12:13,076
Speaker 1: people can do like fast by brato if that's what's

195
00:12:13,116 --> 00:12:15,276
Speaker 1: not rough for them, or they can do just slow

196
00:12:15,316 --> 00:12:17,316
Speaker 1: by brato, or they can practice both and everybody can

197
00:12:17,356 --> 00:12:19,636
Speaker 1: do both. What do you think? Well, no, I don't

198
00:12:19,636 --> 00:12:22,476
Speaker 1: think everybody can do both. I think that everyone has

199
00:12:22,556 --> 00:12:25,796
Speaker 1: the potential, but they just have to work at it. Yeah,

200
00:12:26,196 --> 00:12:29,516
Speaker 1: you get it very quickly, and some people it takes

201
00:12:29,516 --> 00:12:31,716
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, but they have to really practice it.

202
00:12:31,996 --> 00:12:34,156
Speaker 1: And then some people they just never get it. But

203
00:12:34,676 --> 00:12:36,116
Speaker 1: you know, the way I look at it is some

204
00:12:36,236 --> 00:12:38,796
Speaker 1: people I think maybe they're not supposed to, Maybe they're

205
00:12:38,796 --> 00:12:41,236
Speaker 1: supposed to sing just how it is, because that's who

206
00:12:41,316 --> 00:12:44,116
Speaker 1: they are and makes them who they are. We know

207
00:12:44,276 --> 00:12:47,636
Speaker 1: their voice when we hear it, and so I always

208
00:12:47,676 --> 00:12:51,196
Speaker 1: try to, you know, have everyone try everything like an adventure,

209
00:12:51,756 --> 00:12:55,276
Speaker 1: mind the goal, see what's there, but also always keeping

210
00:12:55,356 --> 00:12:59,396
Speaker 1: in mind what makes you special or what makes you unique,

211
00:13:00,156 --> 00:13:02,636
Speaker 1: because that's important too. You want to sound like yourself,

212
00:13:02,956 --> 00:13:05,196
Speaker 1: but when we do it, I don't worry about you

213
00:13:05,356 --> 00:13:07,916
Speaker 1: not sounding like yourself because I know you're going to

214
00:13:07,996 --> 00:13:10,236
Speaker 1: sound like yourself. It'll just speed with a faster story

215
00:13:10,236 --> 00:13:11,556
Speaker 1: if I brought it, but it's still going to sound

216
00:13:11,596 --> 00:13:15,156
Speaker 1: like Rosalia because your tone and everything else is so distinctive.

217
00:13:15,516 --> 00:13:18,276
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, you know so, I just never want anyone

218
00:13:18,396 --> 00:13:21,036
Speaker 1: to lose that, because I think that's so important, the

219
00:13:21,236 --> 00:13:25,196
Speaker 1: personality in the voice, right, everything right, right, right right.

220
00:13:25,876 --> 00:13:29,676
Speaker 1: When I was studying Flamenco, like this traditional style, there's

221
00:13:29,676 --> 00:13:32,916
Speaker 1: so many stories that I never experienced in my life.

222
00:13:33,596 --> 00:13:36,116
Speaker 1: I felt like it was very beautiful to be able

223
00:13:36,156 --> 00:13:40,476
Speaker 1: to channel those stories on stage, and I was like, wow,

224
00:13:40,556 --> 00:13:43,276
Speaker 1: I really think that that's the challenge with this music.

225
00:13:44,116 --> 00:13:49,036
Speaker 1: Aside of the technical, Flamenco is super technical, is very complicated,

226
00:13:49,196 --> 00:13:52,276
Speaker 1: but in a beautiful way. The melodies are like complex,

227
00:13:52,436 --> 00:13:55,356
Speaker 1: like the rhythms, there's a lot of different things. But

228
00:13:55,556 --> 00:13:57,876
Speaker 1: then for me, like the most beautiful thing about it

229
00:13:58,076 --> 00:14:02,796
Speaker 1: is the expression, the stories and everything behind it. I'm very,

230
00:14:02,876 --> 00:14:05,556
Speaker 1: very very grateful that I could spend these years of

231
00:14:05,676 --> 00:14:10,116
Speaker 1: just studying for so long, at least ten years studying

232
00:14:10,196 --> 00:14:14,316
Speaker 1: this music. Don't move a muscle. I'll be right back

233
00:14:14,356 --> 00:14:23,876
Speaker 1: with backstage pass and my guest Rosalia. I'm Eric Vitro,

234
00:14:23,996 --> 00:14:27,716
Speaker 1: and I'm back with my guests Rosalia. You know, it

235
00:14:27,836 --> 00:14:30,596
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me you talk about doing these things so young,

236
00:14:31,156 --> 00:14:34,596
Speaker 1: because I think that people who do become great and

237
00:14:35,156 --> 00:14:38,916
Speaker 1: have longevity are the people that, well, they were first

238
00:14:38,956 --> 00:14:41,796
Speaker 1: of all, lucky enough to know something they really wanted

239
00:14:41,836 --> 00:14:44,956
Speaker 1: to do when they were really young. That's yeah, it's

240
00:14:44,956 --> 00:14:48,076
Speaker 1: a total blessing. But then to also have that work

241
00:14:48,156 --> 00:14:51,636
Speaker 1: ethic to really keep working towards it. Yes, And but

242
00:14:51,756 --> 00:14:53,556
Speaker 1: I feel like I was one of those lucky people

243
00:14:53,596 --> 00:14:56,116
Speaker 1: who knew when I was very young what I wanted

244
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,996
Speaker 1: to do. Because what I'm doing now is what I've

245
00:14:58,036 --> 00:15:00,556
Speaker 1: done my whole life, you know, which is amazing, and

246
00:15:00,636 --> 00:15:02,676
Speaker 1: you still do with so much passion. And I think

247
00:15:02,756 --> 00:15:06,676
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Well, I think when you really work at

248
00:15:06,716 --> 00:15:09,836
Speaker 1: getting better at something, if you feel like you are

249
00:15:10,956 --> 00:15:14,556
Speaker 1: continually getting better, I think it just makes it even

250
00:15:14,676 --> 00:15:17,996
Speaker 1: more exciting. So that's why I say I'm enjoying teaching

251
00:15:18,156 --> 00:15:20,356
Speaker 1: more now than I ever did. And I said that

252
00:15:20,516 --> 00:15:23,156
Speaker 1: last year, and I said that the year before. But

253
00:15:23,316 --> 00:15:25,756
Speaker 1: it's true I enjoy it more now because I feel

254
00:15:25,756 --> 00:15:28,436
Speaker 1: like I'm better at it now and that's exciting. And

255
00:15:28,516 --> 00:15:30,836
Speaker 1: then I think, well, maybe I could give them better

256
00:15:30,916 --> 00:15:34,436
Speaker 1: or maybe I could do even more. Yeah, hell yeah,

257
00:15:34,556 --> 00:15:37,956
Speaker 1: of course music keeps evolving, so that makes it interesting

258
00:15:38,036 --> 00:15:41,356
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, it's not the same, yes, And I

259
00:15:41,556 --> 00:15:45,716
Speaker 1: think that for example, for me, my family was very supportive,

260
00:15:45,916 --> 00:15:50,076
Speaker 1: but nobody around was a musician, nobody was connected to

261
00:15:50,116 --> 00:15:53,076
Speaker 1: the industry, and it was really hard to like figure

262
00:15:53,116 --> 00:15:56,236
Speaker 1: out how to become a musician for me. And it

263
00:15:56,396 --> 00:15:58,836
Speaker 1: wasn't like it wasn't as I was telling you before,

264
00:15:59,276 --> 00:16:01,516
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I had like a great voice

265
00:16:01,596 --> 00:16:03,636
Speaker 1: or something like that. There's kids that they will naturally

266
00:16:03,716 --> 00:16:07,916
Speaker 1: they seem amazing, they have these big voices since they're kids,

267
00:16:08,716 --> 00:16:11,596
Speaker 1: and me it wasn't like that. So I really had

268
00:16:11,636 --> 00:16:16,196
Speaker 1: to like spend this time this years years, years and

269
00:16:16,396 --> 00:16:19,236
Speaker 1: years and have a lot of patient and a lot

270
00:16:19,316 --> 00:16:22,436
Speaker 1: of like being humble, you know, like, really, Okay, failing

271
00:16:22,636 --> 00:16:25,156
Speaker 1: this doesn't sound right yet, Okay, if I'm going to

272
00:16:25,276 --> 00:16:27,956
Speaker 1: keep trying, I'm gonna keep doing it till it sounds right.

273
00:16:28,316 --> 00:16:31,916
Speaker 1: And I think that sometimes it's more about that being persistent,

274
00:16:32,116 --> 00:16:37,756
Speaker 1: being consistent too, like being there, like committed than anything else. Yeah,

275
00:16:37,956 --> 00:16:40,476
Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right. I'm so glad you're saying

276
00:16:40,476 --> 00:16:42,956
Speaker 1: that because I think for people listening, they can apply

277
00:16:43,076 --> 00:16:47,756
Speaker 1: it to anything they're doing. I think sometimes you can

278
00:16:47,876 --> 00:16:50,956
Speaker 1: kind of forget how hard it was to get here,

279
00:16:50,996 --> 00:16:53,076
Speaker 1: at least for me, I could forget for a second

280
00:16:53,396 --> 00:16:55,876
Speaker 1: how hard I had to work, how important it was

281
00:16:55,956 --> 00:16:57,396
Speaker 1: for me to get to this point where I can

282
00:16:57,676 --> 00:16:59,876
Speaker 1: work and do the work that I love the most.

283
00:17:00,476 --> 00:17:04,836
Speaker 1: So I always feel like being grateful and feeling happy,

284
00:17:05,276 --> 00:17:08,396
Speaker 1: feeling joyful about it. That's important for me. I think

285
00:17:08,436 --> 00:17:11,836
Speaker 1: that's the best mindset for me. I totally agree with that,

286
00:17:11,996 --> 00:17:14,356
Speaker 1: And I really got to know Rosalie quite well during

287
00:17:14,436 --> 00:17:17,476
Speaker 1: that first period because for months we would do lessons

288
00:17:17,596 --> 00:17:21,236
Speaker 1: five to six days a week. Yeah, almost every day.

289
00:17:23,116 --> 00:17:24,676
Speaker 1: We did a lot of lessons, and I was so

290
00:17:25,516 --> 00:17:28,116
Speaker 1: impressed with your work ethic. I wanted to ask you,

291
00:17:29,036 --> 00:17:31,916
Speaker 1: is that just naturally who you are? Like you're just

292
00:17:32,076 --> 00:17:36,036
Speaker 1: someone who throws themselves one hundred percent in I think so, yes,

293
00:17:36,516 --> 00:17:41,676
Speaker 1: yes completely, Because I'm a perfectionist, so I always liked

294
00:17:41,756 --> 00:17:46,676
Speaker 1: try to push myself to learn as much as possible

295
00:17:46,836 --> 00:17:49,636
Speaker 1: and to try to get the best result in my work,

296
00:17:50,276 --> 00:17:52,516
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. It was like a lot of

297
00:17:52,876 --> 00:17:55,316
Speaker 1: new things that you were teaching me, and I was like, wow,

298
00:17:55,476 --> 00:17:58,796
Speaker 1: this is all very new, even if I was studying

299
00:17:58,876 --> 00:18:02,796
Speaker 1: for so long a voice lessons and everything. With you,

300
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:05,076
Speaker 1: it was like, there's so many new things and I

301
00:18:05,236 --> 00:18:08,596
Speaker 1: really want to learn these and understand it. I try

302
00:18:08,676 --> 00:18:11,756
Speaker 1: to really, really really push. I commit. I think no

303
00:18:11,836 --> 00:18:13,956
Speaker 1: matter what you choose, what you do, you gotta commit.

304
00:18:14,076 --> 00:18:17,076
Speaker 1: At least that's how I approach it. Rosalia has told

305
00:18:17,116 --> 00:18:19,476
Speaker 1: me that her discipline to her career was influenced by

306
00:18:19,556 --> 00:18:22,396
Speaker 1: her mom, and that doesn't surprise me at all. I've

307
00:18:22,436 --> 00:18:25,076
Speaker 1: been observing people for years and I've seen the artists

308
00:18:25,076 --> 00:18:27,596
Speaker 1: who have great work ethics quite often learn them from

309
00:18:27,636 --> 00:18:32,516
Speaker 1: the people who raised them. She's a very strong woman

310
00:18:33,876 --> 00:18:37,836
Speaker 1: with a lot of her work ethic is amazing, unbelievable.

311
00:18:37,996 --> 00:18:41,236
Speaker 1: She's such a hard working person, and I think that

312
00:18:41,316 --> 00:18:44,956
Speaker 1: she always had great advices. She always advised me, and

313
00:18:45,316 --> 00:18:49,116
Speaker 1: she always have a perspective about things that I'm always like, okay,

314
00:18:49,196 --> 00:18:52,676
Speaker 1: let me see what my mom thinks. Always always, and

315
00:18:52,836 --> 00:18:56,036
Speaker 1: I think that nowadays, like it's very important for me,

316
00:18:56,156 --> 00:19:00,436
Speaker 1: my family the Latin Grammys in Las Vegas. It was

317
00:19:00,516 --> 00:19:03,956
Speaker 1: two years ago and my grandpa just passed, like he

318
00:19:04,156 --> 00:19:07,436
Speaker 1: just died, like the day before. I had to perform,

319
00:19:07,876 --> 00:19:10,356
Speaker 1: and I was very far from home, and I remember

320
00:19:10,916 --> 00:19:14,876
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like singing, but still I sang and

321
00:19:14,956 --> 00:19:28,876
Speaker 1: I did it, and that was I think one of

322
00:19:28,916 --> 00:19:32,316
Speaker 1: the hardest performances I had to do. My mind wasn't

323
00:19:32,396 --> 00:19:35,236
Speaker 1: there and my heart wasn't there, if that makes sense.

324
00:19:35,916 --> 00:19:40,316
Speaker 1: But the other moments, I'm always very happy, very very excited,

325
00:19:40,436 --> 00:19:43,676
Speaker 1: very grateful to be able to perform. And he would

326
00:19:43,676 --> 00:19:46,156
Speaker 1: have wanted you to, I'm sure, I hope so. I

327
00:19:46,316 --> 00:19:50,756
Speaker 1: was thinking about him when I was singing. Wow, for sure. No,

328
00:19:50,916 --> 00:19:53,716
Speaker 1: I bet he felt that wherever he is. I think

329
00:19:53,756 --> 00:19:57,636
Speaker 1: that because parents, grandparents, anybody who leaves us, they want

330
00:19:57,676 --> 00:19:59,876
Speaker 1: you to keep going and shine and do your best.

331
00:19:59,956 --> 00:20:03,116
Speaker 1: They don't want you to stop your life. I feel

332
00:20:03,156 --> 00:20:08,196
Speaker 1: like he protects me somehow. Oh yeah, he protects me. Yeah. Wow.

333
00:20:09,196 --> 00:20:13,236
Speaker 1: But that now, that performance in Vegas, did you feel

334
00:20:13,276 --> 00:20:15,396
Speaker 1: good about that you were able to do it and

335
00:20:16,116 --> 00:20:19,436
Speaker 1: do a good job? I think so, yes, because it

336
00:20:19,596 --> 00:20:22,716
Speaker 1: was it was really hard, and I think at some

337
00:20:23,236 --> 00:20:29,236
Speaker 1: point m I had to sing it. Maybe that sadness

338
00:20:30,156 --> 00:20:33,836
Speaker 1: I could kind of channel it by singing, right. I

339
00:20:33,996 --> 00:20:38,116
Speaker 1: think I really feel very excited to perform. Most of

340
00:20:38,196 --> 00:20:41,596
Speaker 1: the times. I think my heart always goes faster, like

341
00:20:41,796 --> 00:20:45,476
Speaker 1: my heart always races, always, always, and I feel like

342
00:20:46,236 --> 00:20:49,996
Speaker 1: that's because I care. I'd have to say my favorite

343
00:20:50,036 --> 00:20:53,756
Speaker 1: time seeing Rosalia perform was that the twenty twenty Grammys.

344
00:21:03,436 --> 00:21:05,716
Speaker 1: No matter how proud I am when I watched Rosalia

345
00:21:05,796 --> 00:21:09,556
Speaker 1: perform or make her music, I have to say, I'm

346
00:21:09,676 --> 00:21:12,956
Speaker 1: always excited to start our vocal lessons again. I've been

347
00:21:13,036 --> 00:21:15,036
Speaker 1: missing me now that we're not doing it so much

348
00:21:15,316 --> 00:21:18,476
Speaker 1: because I'm in the studio trying to finish this record.

349
00:21:18,916 --> 00:21:21,636
Speaker 1: I think it's almost there, so I had to focus

350
00:21:21,716 --> 00:21:31,956
Speaker 1: on production. But eddic, I'm coming back. Oh good. What

351
00:21:32,476 --> 00:21:35,316
Speaker 1: is it about doing that? Is it just that it's

352
00:21:35,356 --> 00:21:38,316
Speaker 1: so created that you love it? Or is it because

353
00:21:38,356 --> 00:21:40,436
Speaker 1: you feel like I know what I want better than

354
00:21:40,596 --> 00:21:44,396
Speaker 1: anyone else can create for me? What is it that

355
00:21:44,476 --> 00:21:46,996
Speaker 1: because I know you get so immersed in it. Yes,

356
00:21:47,556 --> 00:21:49,996
Speaker 1: I feel like for me it's so important how my

357
00:21:50,156 --> 00:21:53,476
Speaker 1: music sound, how the songs sound, and it's so personal

358
00:21:53,636 --> 00:21:55,876
Speaker 1: too that I feel like there's no way that I

359
00:21:55,996 --> 00:22:00,236
Speaker 1: can just let somebody else do it. At the end

360
00:22:00,276 --> 00:22:02,836
Speaker 1: of the day, I feel like my album just what

361
00:22:02,956 --> 00:22:06,236
Speaker 1: it's gonna last when I'm not here anymore. This is

362
00:22:06,276 --> 00:22:09,436
Speaker 1: what it's going to be here. I really care about songs,

363
00:22:09,596 --> 00:22:12,596
Speaker 1: every song to try to make it the best way possible.

364
00:22:13,276 --> 00:22:15,676
Speaker 1: I wish maybe I didn't care as much, but at

365
00:22:15,716 --> 00:22:18,196
Speaker 1: the same time, I know that caring so much makes

366
00:22:18,196 --> 00:22:21,676
Speaker 1: a difference. I think in the way things sound, and

367
00:22:21,876 --> 00:22:23,876
Speaker 1: that's just who I am, Like I cannot change it.

368
00:22:24,756 --> 00:22:27,636
Speaker 1: It really represents you, represents your point of view, and

369
00:22:27,836 --> 00:22:30,916
Speaker 1: you can really be like proud of it. I really

370
00:22:31,076 --> 00:22:33,316
Speaker 1: try to do it the best I can. I really

371
00:22:33,396 --> 00:22:36,836
Speaker 1: try to practice as much as I can. I care

372
00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:40,676
Speaker 1: for the details on everything, not just when I'm singing.

373
00:22:40,836 --> 00:22:44,156
Speaker 1: I see that in everything, in the light, the stage design,

374
00:22:44,476 --> 00:22:48,756
Speaker 1: the clothes that I'm wearing, the colors, the nails I mean,

375
00:22:50,796 --> 00:22:55,756
Speaker 1: I mean the nails, of course, everything, everything, everything, And

376
00:22:55,876 --> 00:22:57,996
Speaker 1: I enjoy do anything like that, and I think that

377
00:22:58,116 --> 00:23:00,396
Speaker 1: that's like a work ethic. And I feel like if

378
00:23:00,476 --> 00:23:02,676
Speaker 1: one day I don't care like that as much as

379
00:23:02,796 --> 00:23:05,076
Speaker 1: like that, I don't think that the result would be

380
00:23:05,116 --> 00:23:08,756
Speaker 1: as good. So I don't feel it's a bad thing

381
00:23:08,796 --> 00:23:12,596
Speaker 1: to be perfectionist. That makes sense. But at the same time,

382
00:23:12,716 --> 00:23:16,956
Speaker 1: I feel very grateful that you help me to be like, Okay, yeah,

383
00:23:16,956 --> 00:23:19,956
Speaker 1: you can be a perfectionist while you are practicing, but

384
00:23:20,116 --> 00:23:23,956
Speaker 1: once you go on stage, forget it. Forget it and

385
00:23:24,156 --> 00:23:26,956
Speaker 1: just perform, because that's how I used to do it

386
00:23:26,996 --> 00:23:28,836
Speaker 1: when I was younger, when I was a kid, when

387
00:23:28,836 --> 00:23:31,596
Speaker 1: I was a teenager. But then sometimes you can kind

388
00:23:31,636 --> 00:23:34,356
Speaker 1: of forget it for a second when you get caught

389
00:23:34,436 --> 00:23:37,676
Speaker 1: up on technical things. And it's great that somebody reminds

390
00:23:37,716 --> 00:23:41,436
Speaker 1: you speaking of technical things. After the break, we'll get

391
00:23:41,476 --> 00:23:44,436
Speaker 1: to the vocal tips of the week, influenced by Rosalia

392
00:23:44,556 --> 00:23:55,436
Speaker 1: herself right after this. Here they are my vocal tips

393
00:23:55,476 --> 00:24:05,196
Speaker 1: of the week. First, I've had really good results having

394
00:24:05,276 --> 00:24:08,796
Speaker 1: my students always do at least one forward placement exercise

395
00:24:09,356 --> 00:24:13,196
Speaker 1: lesson one where I actually encourage them to allow themselves

396
00:24:13,276 --> 00:24:16,636
Speaker 1: to sound nasal. Now, I always say to them, don't panic,

397
00:24:16,716 --> 00:24:19,556
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to turn you into a nasal sounding singer.

398
00:24:20,116 --> 00:24:22,876
Speaker 1: It's just one of the many exercises that will help

399
00:24:22,916 --> 00:24:25,196
Speaker 1: you warm up your voice in a healthy way and

400
00:24:25,356 --> 00:24:28,556
Speaker 1: also help you to increase your range. Basically, What I

401
00:24:28,636 --> 00:24:31,356
Speaker 1: want you to do is to focus the sound and

402
00:24:31,516 --> 00:24:34,076
Speaker 1: the vibrations of your voice in the front part of

403
00:24:34,116 --> 00:24:36,796
Speaker 1: your face, which is referred to as the mask. That

404
00:24:37,076 --> 00:24:40,156
Speaker 1: area is starting right around your forehead all the way

405
00:24:40,236 --> 00:24:43,556
Speaker 1: down to about the bottom of your nose. You heard Rosalia,

406
00:24:43,676 --> 00:24:47,876
Speaker 1: it's her favorite exercise. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

407
00:24:47,996 --> 00:24:51,676
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah. Now it's your turn to try. Bases.

408
00:24:51,756 --> 00:24:54,876
Speaker 1: Baritones and tenors. Start on the sea below middle sea

409
00:24:55,036 --> 00:25:06,716
Speaker 1: like this. Repeat that pattern, transposing it in other words,

410
00:25:06,836 --> 00:25:09,676
Speaker 1: changing keys down by half steps ntil you reach your

411
00:25:09,716 --> 00:25:12,076
Speaker 1: lowest note, and then going right back up until you

412
00:25:12,156 --> 00:25:44,316
Speaker 1: reach your highest note. Sopranos and elto's, you start on

413
00:25:44,436 --> 00:25:55,476
Speaker 1: an A below middle C like this. Again, repeat that pattern,

414
00:25:55,596 --> 00:25:59,076
Speaker 1: transposing it down, changing keys by half steps until you

415
00:25:59,156 --> 00:26:01,756
Speaker 1: reach your lowest note, and then going right back up,

416
00:26:01,956 --> 00:26:04,636
Speaker 1: changing keys by half steps until you reach your highest note.

417
00:26:04,956 --> 00:26:40,956
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. Try not to move your

418
00:26:41,036 --> 00:26:43,836
Speaker 1: jaw when you're pronouncing that na na na, Just move

419
00:26:43,916 --> 00:26:47,756
Speaker 1: your tongue. By practicing, moving your tongue without moving your

420
00:26:47,836 --> 00:26:50,236
Speaker 1: jaw will not only free up your voice, but it

421
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:52,796
Speaker 1: will make it so much easier for you to pronounce

422
00:26:52,916 --> 00:26:56,516
Speaker 1: lyrics on high notes. When you're doing songs. Another exercise

423
00:26:56,596 --> 00:26:59,276
Speaker 1: I always try to fit in every lesson is one

424
00:26:59,316 --> 00:27:01,636
Speaker 1: that will prep you to sing your runs and rifts better,

425
00:27:02,036 --> 00:27:04,796
Speaker 1: one that will make your vocal cords more flexible and limber,

426
00:27:05,076 --> 00:27:07,396
Speaker 1: and also really help you to level up your skills

427
00:27:07,476 --> 00:27:11,116
Speaker 1: with better agility. Try starting out with half steps like this.

428
00:27:18,396 --> 00:27:20,436
Speaker 1: If it feels hard for you to stand pitch on

429
00:27:20,516 --> 00:27:24,436
Speaker 1: this exercise because it is tricky, start really slow, trying

430
00:27:24,436 --> 00:27:27,996
Speaker 1: to sing every note cleanly, and then gradually build up speed.

431
00:27:37,956 --> 00:27:40,236
Speaker 1: A really great way to teach you to sing these

432
00:27:40,276 --> 00:27:42,916
Speaker 1: half steps would be to play them on the piano

433
00:27:43,196 --> 00:27:45,876
Speaker 1: as you sing them. Even if you don't know how

434
00:27:45,956 --> 00:27:48,956
Speaker 1: to play the piano, anyone could play half steps because

435
00:27:48,996 --> 00:27:52,156
Speaker 1: it's just one note after another. You might not have

436
00:27:52,276 --> 00:27:54,196
Speaker 1: a piano or a keyboard at home, but you can

437
00:27:54,236 --> 00:27:57,316
Speaker 1: always download a piano keyboard app onto your phone or tablet.

438
00:27:57,756 --> 00:28:00,636
Speaker 1: A good middle range for sopranos and altos would be

439
00:28:00,716 --> 00:28:19,436
Speaker 1: to start here on a middle C. For you bases,

440
00:28:19,476 --> 00:28:22,636
Speaker 1: baritones and tenors start here one act of lower than

441
00:28:22,716 --> 00:28:42,036
Speaker 1: middle c as always experiment and see how high and

442
00:28:42,156 --> 00:28:44,436
Speaker 1: how low you can go, but of course without straining.

443
00:28:44,516 --> 00:28:47,396
Speaker 1: It should always feel comfortable. If you want to try

444
00:28:47,436 --> 00:28:49,916

472
00:30:47,196 --> 00:30:49,836
Speaker 1: go pick up something, and I went into the store

473
00:30:50,356 --> 00:30:53,756
Speaker 1: to pick it up, and your song with Bad Bunny

474
00:30:53,876 --> 00:30:58,476
Speaker 1: was playing. This girl who was I was waiting to

475
00:30:58,836 --> 00:31:01,876
Speaker 1: help me, was doing something for someone else, and all

476
00:31:01,916 --> 00:31:05,036
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I looked over and she was singing along,

477
00:31:05,796 --> 00:31:07,676
Speaker 1: and I saw her lips going with it, and she

478
00:31:07,836 --> 00:31:11,156
Speaker 1: was kind of smiling, and I thought, Wow, I'm seeing

479
00:31:12,156 --> 00:31:16,676
Speaker 1: the joy that an artist's music brings to people. She

480
00:31:16,956 --> 00:31:20,716
Speaker 1: was probably enjoying her day so much more getting to

481
00:31:20,876 --> 00:31:23,756
Speaker 1: hear your songs. It was making her day go by

482
00:31:23,876 --> 00:31:26,236
Speaker 1: faster than when she came over to help me. She

483
00:31:26,396 --> 00:31:29,556
Speaker 1: was all smiles, really friendly, and I thought, Wow, it's

484
00:31:29,636 --> 00:31:33,636
Speaker 1: really beautiful to see that, not just in a life setting.

485
00:31:33,876 --> 00:31:37,676
Speaker 1: It's on the recording, it's in the videos, it's where

486
00:31:37,716 --> 00:31:42,156
Speaker 1: ever anyone's listening. Yeah, how powerful is that? Right? For me,

487
00:31:42,956 --> 00:31:45,796
Speaker 1: what makes my day is listening music. And I feel

488
00:31:45,836 --> 00:31:48,356
Speaker 1: so happy when you tell me that, because then that

489
00:31:48,476 --> 00:31:50,436
Speaker 1: happens the same thing that happens to me that I

490
00:31:50,516 --> 00:31:52,916
Speaker 1: listened so much music, it can happen to other people

491
00:31:52,956 --> 00:31:55,236
Speaker 1: with the music I do, and I feel so grateful,
