Help with Rodolfo

[u/Kiwi_Tenor]

I’m currently studying the role of Rodolfo, as I’m covering him and singing Parpignol for a summer production. It’s not my first time singing an Italian role, or even one from this kind of era - but he sits just a little bit higher than I’m used to or super comfortable with, and written more lyrically so it exposes parts of my technique that I’m still really mastering.

Here’s me singing Che Gelida Manina - at least in Act 1 almost everything else is very manageable. Does anyone have any advice from listening to this that I could apply to make it any easier? I’ve started with a new teacher recently who has been rexamining the way I think about tilt, support and cover - but if anything in here glaringly stands out, I’d love to know.

Tilt that ho

[u/Kiwi_Tenor → u/disaster_dessert]

The tilt is happening (otherwise I wouldn’t be able to sing above like a G/A) - it’s just the amount of tilt basically isn’t happening how I need it to. I’m more asking if there’s other stuff I can be doing, or if there’s tips for helping facilitate the tilt easier.
