grandissima personalità che abbiamo

play00:51

potuto apprezzare anche durante il

play00:53

Festival di Sanremo come coc conduttore

play00:56

la personalità ovviamente è fondamentale

play00:57

nel mondo della musica perché si

play00:59

riflette proprio in tutti i suoi aspetti

play01:01

dalla presenza scenica ai testi al modo

play01:04

di portare la voce Insomma proprio su

play01:07

tutto Marco Mengoni me lo avete

play01:09

richiesto tantissime volte perché anche

play01:11

voi riconoscete il fatto che comunque è

play01:13

l'unico cantante che strizza

play01:15

l'occhiolino al mondo della musica Black

play01:17

qui in Italia dal punto di vista vocale

play01:19

proprio eh E quindi me lo richiedete

play01:21

tantissimo Non avevo ancora fatto il

play01:22

video ho deciso di farlo oggi una delle

play01:25

cose che mi scrivete di più diciamo ci

play01:27

sono due fazioni di Marco Mengo quella

play01:30

che lo adora e quella che invece non lo

play01:32

Ascolta perché dice che urla Adesso vado

play01:35

a spiegarvi un po' tutto quanto Ok

play01:37

Allora Marco Mengoni ha un timbro e

play01:39

soprattutto un modo di portare la voce

play01:42

molto particolare e molto riconoscibile

play01:45

sentiamo subito che è lui in una canzone

play01:47

giusto si tratta di un cantante che è in

play01:49

grado di raggiungere note discretamente

play01:52

acute Per essere un uomo e che

play01:54

dall'altro canto invece evita o comunque

play01:57

non risalta il proprio registro più

play02:01

grave non lo sentiamo quasi mai cantare

play02:04

nella parte più grave del suo registro

play02:06

gli piace di più stare nell' Cuto giusto

play02:08

ci ci accorgiamo di questa cosa la sua è

play02:11

la classica voce che può essere definita

play02:14

brillante alle volte è tagliente alle

play02:18

volte possiamo sentirla medios alcune

play02:21

volte la sentiamo addirittura un po'

play02:22

stridula fra un attimo vi spiego quando

play02:25

succede Lui ha una pasta leggermente

play02:28

graffiata e alle volte sceglie di

play02:31

utilizzare questo leggero growl che fa

play02:34

proprio l'eco al suono anche della

play02:36

musica Soul che lui non fa mistero di

play02:40

amare si sente anche nelle sue canzoni

play02:43

la mia parte preferita della voce di

play02:44

Marco Mengoni è il registro di petto

play02:47

quando non spinge in volume e Dagli

play02:50

sbagli che ho commesso ho visitato

play02:52

luoghi per non doverti rivedere e più mi

play02:56

allontanavo e più sentivo di star bene

play02:59

mi fiderò Perché non è una promessa e

play03:02

nessuno dei due ha mai detto lo giuro

play03:04

Per

play03:06

apprezzare quello che

play03:10

e

play03:12

stupide mi fiderò delle tue mani la

play03:15

notte mi

play03:18

fiderò per averti preso in giro anche

play03:22

solo immaginando occhi che non sono i

play03:26

tuoi Beati loro poi perché la trovo

play03:30

molto comunicativa ed emozionante e te

play03:35

ne andrai così veloce per

play03:39

proteggerti invece per tornare al

play03:41

discorso di prima mi piace meno quando

play03:44

spinge e sono sicura anche a voi perché

play03:46

quello è il momento in cui tutti mi

play03:47

scrivete e non mi piace perché urla

play03:49

perché spesse volte spinge sugli acuti

play03:53

creando questo suono un po' strozzato

play03:55

che non è piacevole da sentire e che lui

play03:58

potrebbe creare molto meglio visto che è

play04:00

un cantante molto dotato Insomma ne

play04:02

viene fuori un suono distorto ma non un

play04:04

distorto piacevole Un un distorto un po'

play04:07

strozza ino ascoltiamolo proteggiti da

play04:10

me da me se

play04:14

sei come fare che seo non l'avessi

play04:21

capito

play04:22

Maledetta la mia gelosia che mi

play04:27

sfugge di mano

play04:30

siccome lui ha un range acuto

play04:32

discretamente esteso Basterebbe che lui

play04:35

si focalizzo di più sul sostegno

play04:38

generale della voce per evitare di ingol

play04:41

troppo di spingere qua e anche sul

play04:44

controllo proprio in generale della

play04:46

propria voce e come dicevo prima essendo

play04:48

un cantante molto musicale molto dotato

play04:51

sicuramente ci metterebbe pochissimo a

play04:53

realizzare questi cambiamenti e che mi

play04:56

domando anche come mai non sia di già

play04:58

intervenuto Anche perché sarebbe molto

play05:00

salutare per una persona che comunque

play05:02

professionalmente fa il cantante e deve

play05:05

cantare un sacco e anche canta cose

play05:07

molto difficili lui tende a stringere la

play05:10

gola quando quando canta quando voi dite

play05:13

che urla è perché lui spinge e stringe

play05:16

la gola Non la lascia bella aperta e

play05:18

cosa succede Avete presente quando

play05:20

mangiucchiate la cannuccia del succo che

play05:23

la cannuccia diventa piattina Provate a

play05:25

immaginare che fatica che fa la il succo

play05:28

l'acqua liquido ad USC da quella

play05:30

cannuccia per l'aria è la stessa cosa e

play05:32

il risultato è questo suono strozzato

play05:34

che dicevamo Prima no inoltre il

play05:36

controllo vocale lo aiuterebbe anche nei

play05:38

reifs e runs che lui fa alcuni li fa

play05:41

bene altri quelli magari un po' più

play05:43

intricati e quelli che decide di

play05:45

realizzare nella parte acuta della sua

play05:47

voce spesso risultano

play05:56

[Applauso]

play05:58

imprecisi

play06:14

ti senti da solo io sono ciò che ero R

play06:19

tornerò

play06:21

all'origine e torno a te che sei per me

play06:28

essenziale

play06:36

[Applauso]

play06:39

[Musica]

play06:41

appartengono anche a te le note non sono

play06:44

proprio precise ma sono alle volte

play06:46

leggermente statine è anche lui l'unico

play06:49

cantante del mainstream che comunque fa

play06:54

reifs e runs e ci prova Diciamo in

play06:56

Italia e quindi mi piacerebbe sentirlo a

play06:59

farle perfettamente bene Quindi se anche

play07:01

tu hai questo piccolo problemino magari

play07:03

con i rifs e i Run ti consiglio il mio

play07:07

consiglio è quello di studiare benissimo

play07:10

quante più scale musicali possibili non

play07:13

solo studiarle ovviamente a mente

play07:15

ascoltandole ma proprio di cantarle

play07:17

cercando di essere più preciso possibile

play07:19

partendo in modo molto lento essendo più

play07:22

preciso possibile nel beccare le note

play07:24

proprio che siano intonate una per una

play07:28

facendo questo a ripetiz ione Questo è

play07:30

il principale esercizio per imparare ad

play07:32

improvvisare e a cantare anche i rifs e

play07:35

i runs in modo preciso altrimenti rifs e

play07:38

Run sbrodola sono brutti evitiamo di

play07:41

farli credo che se lui sistemasse questi

play07:45

due dettagli sarebbe molto più

play07:47

apprezzato ancora come vocalista e molti

play07:50

di quelli che dicono che urla invece

play07:52

passerebbero dalla parte di quelli che

play07:55

lo amano tantissimo credo che avrebbe

play07:57

una vita vocale più longeva e anche che

play08:01

si potrebbe prendere a piene mani il

play08:03

titolo di unico cantante mainstream

play08:06

attuale di Soul in
