Yeah!

Yeah.

I don't know.
4
I've heard this sound before.
5
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
.
38
True!
39
That's actually not good for musicians.
40
Aren't they actually playing here?
41
Well, I don't know.
42
Actually, I didn't...
43
That's a good question.
44
So, I think they look like legit musicians.
45
Mm-hmm.
46
For sure.
47
But I don't know if the actual music is...
48
It sounds a bit interesting.
49
Okay.
50
No one's playing the actual main...
51
Like...
52
Yeah.
53
It's very fast.
54
Yeah.
55
You can see people doing...
56
Which is fine, and someone's doing...
57
Oh yeah.
58
Which is doable, but...
59
That's really fast.
60
That's some like, Hilary Hahn type sheet.
61
Yeah, but it's too...
62
The articulation and the volume is too like...
63
Perfect, yeah, yeah.
64
Everything's too flat.
65
It shouldn't sound that...
66
I don't know, it sounds...
67
Sounds a bit process to me.
68
I don't know.
69
Maybe...I'd be curious if we recorded the violin part, but damn, they'll teach me how to play so fast.
70
Anyway, anyway, the whole point is the singing part.
71
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...
72
I don't know, is she classically trained or...
73
I mean, clearly she's using a more classical type of scene.
74
Yes.
75
But as an opera...
76
Yeah.
77
How do you feel?
78
I feel like it's in the...
79
to operatic style, like to this direction, a little bit like classical singing, but it's not fully that.
80
Like, I think she has her like own unique sound.
81
Okay.
82
She's using more air in the sound.
83
What does that mean, more air in a sound?
84
Because I feel like the viewers might not know.
85
Yeah.
86
What does that mean?
87
When you sing, you can sing like...
88
Oh, that's...
89
That's more air.
90
Yeah, you can use more air when you put like...
91
not so much closure...
92
with your vocal cords.
93
Damn, guys, that projection was huge.
94
That was crazy.
95
Yeah, you guys...
96
Whoa!
97
Yeah, I guess it's like...
98
Flortando.
99
Yeah, normally we play.
100
Yes.
101
She might be playing.
102
Exactly.
103
Yeah.
104
So it's kind of the sound.
105
Yeah.
106
I think she wants this kind of sound.
107
Okay.
108
That's why she's singing this way.
109
Would that type of sound work in traditional opera scene in a big hall?
110
No, you need the projection.
111
Yeah.
112
But I think in baroque music, Mm-hmm.
113
For example, you can use more air in some parts to express something.
114
And it reminds me also like from Vivaldi, like the beginning.
115
I hear you right.
116
And also the lyrics are this kind of Sturm und Drang, like giving the raw emotions.
117
Oh, Sturm und Drang?
118
Sturm und Drang.
119
Sturm und- Oh, Sturm und Drang!
120
Yes, I remember that word from- I've studied that!
121
Yes!
122
Sturm and Drang.
123
Oh, you remember this.
124
Professor Stephen Emerson taught us.
125
Sturm und Drang.
126
And what does that mean like specifically?
127
It's like late 18th century.
128
It's about more expressing the art through raw emotions, more than rational thinking.
129
Ah, it's more emotional.
130
We are not serious.
131
I'm a taronga, I'm a taronga When you're born, you're a taronga So what about the singing?
132
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.
133
Oh, that was Spanish!
134
When she sings...
135
Yeah, in Spanish.
136
Oh, I didn't realize, I'm just...
137
My bad.
138
There are some little bit coming, but not that much, but...
139
I think it's good.
140
It's not too wide.
141
I like asking that question.
142
Yeah...
143
About vibrato.
144
Yeah...
145
We can talk about it later!
146
I see!
147
Cool, should we try it and play it?
148
To play?
149
And sing it?
150
Yeah, let's do it.
151
This is our version.
152
Sight reading version.
153
Dude, that's...
154
Ooh!
155
That's so fast!
156
Oh my god.
157
Oh god, I got it.
158

159

167
I love you so much.
168
I love you so much.
169
Ah!
170
Wait, what?
171
That was epic!
172
Bro!
173
Should we try it again?
174
Okay.
175
I wasn't quite like...
176
Not sad.
177
Damn, that's just— Okay, that felt so good.
178
Okay, sure.
179
Should you start, like try the beginning as well?
180
We'll go from the beginning.
181
Do you want quickly that I tell you what...
182
Oh yes, please.
183
Yes, okay.
184
Oh, okay.
185
When you sing...
186
Yes.
187
Seine Angst is meine Angst.
188
His fear...
189
My angst.
190
Yeah.
191
My angst, yeah.
192
Your angst is my angst?
193
His fear is my fear.
194
Okay, his fear is my fear.
195
Seine Angst is my...
196
Mein angst...
197
Meine Angst, seine Angst...
198
Seine Angst is meine Angst...
199
Seine Wut is meine Wut.
200
Seine Wut is meine Wut.
201
What does that mean?
202
His hate is my hate.
203
Oh, seine...
204
Seine Lieb is meine Liebe.
205
Okay.
206
His song is my song?
207
Seine Lieb is mine Liebe.
208
His song is my song.
209
Love.
210
Love.
211
Love.
212
His love is my love.
213
Seine Lieb is...
214
Seine Lieb is...
215
Seine Lieb is...
216
Seine Lieb is my blood.
217
Seine Lieb is my blood.
218
Okay.
219
Okay, now you know the lyrics and how to sing there.
220
Yes.
221
Okay?
222
So you need a little bit more support.
223
So it's all about breathing.
224
Like feel it here in your diaphragm.
225
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.
226
Let the woman stand!
227
You!
228
You!
229
Yes, there is it.
230
You can call it your head voice.
231
Wow.
232
There you go!
233
And there's one trick.
234
Think about it, you're really surprised.
235
Better?
236
Wow.
237
Yeah.
238
Yes, great.
239
One thing is that when you go up, you can think that you're going down.
240
So it's like an elevator.
241
You need the...
242
Yeah!
243
Whoa.
244
That's my whole verse.
245
That's awesome.
246
I'm just like an opera singer.
247
So I sing it my style.
248
I don't try to imitate her because I cannot do what she's doing.
249
So I just do it my way.
250
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.
251
You see it in artists like Leve, you see it here, you see it in like, the Nike ad.
252
Oh yeah, let's talk.
253
So I think that's really cool.
254
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?
255
Absolutely.
256
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.
