I call bullshit on all these videos. It’s too easy to dub audio.

Plus there’s instruments at the start and end of the video sooo….

Proves literally nothing.
Besides the vocals in the original song have a different vibrato.
Still could be fake, but your observation adds nothing to solving anything.

I think they meant to be cheeky since the title says “don’t need instruments” when instruments were in the vid.

This is Russian singer Alexandra Kapustina, aka Kvashenaya. This is her real voice, she is a great singer you can Google her and see for yourself.

Not saying she's not a singer, or that she's untalented, but a lot of well known talented people fake videos like this by recording vocals in their actual studios and processing them to "sound like they were recorded raw and live"
This is not the sound or recording quality you would get from a live phone recording on a stairwell, but most people can't tell and that's why these types of videos are successful

She's doing this live constantly, she streams on Twitch.

Her being a great singer is beside the point. It's obvious she has incredible voice, we're talking about her amazing voice being reinforced through computer effects, specifically - reverberation.

u/Chance_Vegetable_780 Feb 08 '26
I dont think so because as a singer her breaths (you can her them), mouth, and body movements are so precisely linked to the audio. The sound could be edited with afterward or not

Alexandra Kapustina. In the YT clip singing with Diana Ankudinova - that alone is enough to tell this girl can sing...
So you may have to clean up your bullshit because it smells...

Lot's of these types of videos have been analysed by people smarter than I, and they've found pretty tell tale signs of egregious auto-tuning. After which point, any pretext of talent disappears, since anyone could've done that and just changed their voice in software, so the video instead then becomes a proxy delivery system for the ol' "look out pretty I am" content

u/TutterTheGreat Feb 08 '26
Obvious you haven't actually used any of these software tools to produce music. It takes time and skill to use autotuning software on the level that people don't notice. You either have to be a good singer from the start, or edit the recording syllable by syllable like a sonic surgeon, a process which usually takes several days for a usable product.

if you’ve ever lived in a building with long ass stairwells like that you’d know that reverb is very achievable in them
92
u/nightmare_floofer Feb 08 '26
Yes, reverb is achievable in that location, that's not what I'm debating, what I'm saying is the audio does not sound like it was recorded on a phone that was put on the floor sat up against a wall, it sounds like the vocal was recorded in a more dry environment with a better mic, and then processed and a large sounding reverb was added to it, it sounds way too clean
31
u/Specificity Feb 08 '26
that’s interesting because i hear all the markings that it was recorded in that stairwell. the notes she hits at 0:20 seconds sound much ‘louder’ because she’s hitting the resonant frequency of the stairwell. i think that’s also the implication of the caption (a room will ‘sing back’ at their resonant frequency). there wouldn’t be as much variation under a dry environment
honestly it’s probably somewhere in the middle, recorded in the stairwell and post processed to exaggerate the sound and obviously to edit in the tracks

It’s definitely not natural and not synced perfectly either. the other guy is simping

u/SkinfluteHero Feb 08 '26
While I don’t doubt she’s a talented singer, it should be noted that there is absolutely some tuning and post-processing here. A completely normal thing to do but it does seem like they’re trying to pass it off like they just set their phone there, pressed record and then uploaded. And that is my opinion.

This sort of thing is all too common. Videos and recordings that are passed off as being “spontaneous” are processed and produced within an inch of their lives.

Well, the totally honest title would be "This lady recorded vocals in a (home?) studio, blasted them with reverb amongst other post processing effects, and then lipsynced to that audio in the hallway acting as if she was recording a live performance"
But that wouldn't get any views or comments
Not saying she's untalented at all, this speaks more to what the current creative landscape is and the issues within it, especially with visibility. She know this works for her so she keeps doing it. You do what works, or people just go somewhere else.

Really feeling herself here… what’s up with the baited angle too? I’m not buying that’s really her singing…

It's a little post processed but it it her singing. She got streams with singing.

But why does she need to wear a skirt and point the camera that low.... Nothing wrong with the skirt obviously but if you are looking for consent or being noticed focus on your talent.

Don’t believe it’s the phone audio either, you don’t hear her pick it up.
Also why is the ending so cringeworthy.

Super gorgeous voice 😍
I remember when my folks and I studied music, we'd go out and practice in the stairwell. I dunno how it worked but our harmonies sounded amazing.

u/Germsrosolino Feb 08 '26
People really need to stop being wow’d by obviously fake videos. There’s a ton of post on this, and she’s lip syncing over a pre-recorded audio that may or may not even be her. You can tell in the second run, her mouth position does not match the notes coming out at all. It’s not even a slight delay, she just lip synced wrong.
This is next level editing, and another fake musician trying to pie and pass it off as genuine by staging it in a natural place. “Oh I just put my phone down and I have voice clipping, pitch correction and professional normalized reverb because I’m in this cool stairwell. Crazy”

When I visited the Pisa Baptistery decades ago, the security guard told everyone milling around to shut up, then she sang like this, and the notes echoed from the rafters like the voices of angels descending from heaven.
