    Enya - Only Time - vocal cover

    Hi everyone! It's been awhile. I thought back to when I did my cover of Enya's "May it be" from the movie "Lord of the Rings" and I wanted to give another of her songs a try. I decided to tackle her biggest hit "Only Time". I had to get producer Thomas Schauffert involved to get the right sound...

    Maleficent Movie - I sing both roles: Aurora and Maleficent

    Hi guys. I brought my twin sister in to help with this video. LOL At first I wasn't sure which way I wanted to sing this song, the original like princess Aurora or like Lana Del Rey which seems more like Maleficent. Then I decided to do both. That's when I had to call my sister. ;) I hope you...

    All of me - John Legend

    Hi everyone. My first attempt at singing "All of me" by John Legend was, as my teacher says, too bright. It was with my usual high Opera resonance. I re-sang it and tried to tone it down and just go with feeling. I hope it came out OK.

    Queen - Who Wants to Live Forever - Vampire style

    Hi guys. I love this song by the unbeatable Freddie Mercury. I made my video story from the feeling I got for this song while watching Highlander. I felt that a vampire might feel the same way after snacking on many lovers over the decades. hehe It was interesting that after seeing a picture I...

    Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

    Hi everyone. While we were in the middle of the snow storm I just had to make this video in a winter wonderland. Hallelujah was written by Leonard Cohen and made more famous in one of my favorite childhood movies, Shrek. I finally found the desser in my Nuendo software and that helped with the...

    Dust in the Wind

    Hi everyone. A classical version of a progressive rock song from the Seventies. Because I'm so young I first heard this song from Sarah Brightman's album. Then I listened to the original. Both are great but my voice is definitely more like Sarah's. She did it with a very mysterious sounding...

    Stubborn farm girl in La Wally

    Hi everyone. My latest assignment is "Ebben! Ne Andro Lontana" ("Well, then? I'll go far away,") the principal aria from the Opera "La Wally". In this scene the young lady, La Wally, tells her father that she has decided to leave her home forever and to go out into the cold of the Alp...

    Elena Video

    Hi everyone. I put on my best Fairy look for this version of "Scarborough Fair". I was imagining an older version of this song as explained below. The lyrics suggest a tale of a young man who instructs the listener to tell his former love to perform for him a series of impossible tasks, such...

    Handel's Lascia ch'io pianga

    Hi everyone. My latest Opera assignment was Lascia ch'io pianga, a soprano aria by composer George Frideric Handel which has become a popular concert piece. The melody for the song began its life as an Asian dance in his 1705 opera Almira. As an aria the piece was first used in Handel's 1707...

    Sarah Brightman's "Only an Ocean Away"

    I just uploaded my cover of Sarah Brightman's "Only an Ocean Away" video. I made this back when I was 13 (i'm 15 now) but Youtube had the sound muted claiming copyright. I know I'm not the only artist doing covers but that's how it goes. Now that I'm a Youtube partner I'm gonna see how it goes. :)

    The Phantom of the Opera - Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

    We got this out just in time for the Halloween holiday. We got the perfect "family crypt" for "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" from "The Phantom of the Opera". I thought of losing my dad like the songs says and easily cried during filming. My mom can't watch it without crying. LOL. Have...

    The Fifth Element - Diva Dance - singing and kicking butt

    Hi everyone. This video took sooooo long to make. It took quite a while just to get the song down but then the video took forever to make and edit. After learning all the hand motions from the Diva in the movie we did some "alien" make up and filmed the singing in front of the green screen...

    Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

    Hi everyone. I found this great classical version of Metallica's song "Nothing Else Matters" and thought I'd try something a little different. We had so much fun bringing the video camera into all my classes to get the footage for during the instrumental parts. Be sure to watch 'til the end...

    Green screening at it's best

    Well, at least for an amateur. The song is Ombra mai fu and is the opening aria from the 1738 opera "Serse" by George Frideric Handel. The opera was a commercial failure, lasting only five performances in London after its premiere. In the 19th century, however, the aria was rediscovered and...
