In fact, my life is not so young anymore.
Thats how much time were talking.
in No Good Deed fromWicked.
(The clear winner here is Alice Fearn.
I will not be taking any questions at this time.)
So I asked him.
I guess first we should probably establish who you are.
Who are you?My name is Agustin and Im 20.
A friend once called me Gus, so I go with that name since its more easy to pronounce.
Im from Buenos Aires, Argentina, born and raised.
Ive had a lot of Dont Cry for Me Argentina andEvitareferences thanks to that.
My main tongue is Spanish.
I used to love video games and TV shows growing up, so I learned English through that.
I play a bit of piano, though Im not an expert.
I dont have any formal training.
Its very interesting.Carusos Book[Carusos Method of Voice Production] by Mario Marafioti is fascinating for a reading.
When did you start your YouTube channel?
What inspired it?I started the channel, as funny as it seems, October 3rd, 2015.
One of the first videos I ever did was a vocal range for Selena Quintanilla.
I realized there werent videos for her, so thats when I started the channel.
I was quite obsessed withLes Mizand I would hear different people singing the same song over and over.
Vocally there were quite a few talents.
I recommend listening to singers that dont speak or sing in your own language.
I just love musical theater, and, Ill admit, Im quite dramatical myself.
Its a huge part of who I am.
Lets talk about Cats.
Are you excited for the new movie?Im not a hugeCatsfan, to be honest.
However, I like the show and have mad respect for it and what it achieved.
The CGI is my main problem with the movie.
It just looks off.
Youve got a Memory climax video Ive watched a million times.
There are a lot of people in there I didnt expect.
Like I didnt expect to see Celine Dion in a full furry catsuit.
The performance however was plain hideous.
Vocally totally oversung and inappropriate.
But, from what I read, she learned the song while not knowing English, so shes forgiven.
I think some key elements for the song to work is both range and interpretation.
This is not a happy song.
Which I think is what happened to young Celine.
Who do you think gives the best performance?I like Elaine Paige.
Both acting-wise and vocally.
I love how shes in total character as Grizabella and shes singing the song beautifully in pain.
That soft vibrato really adds that extra something the song needs to me.
Its a marvelous example of having the range, vocals, and interpretation of the song.
Shes not belting the song just for the sake of showing off.
I have to give a special mention to Betty Buckley.
A very close second in my opinion.
And who do you think gives the worst performance?I dont think theres an actual worst.
I have a few on my mind that arent as gracious as the rest.
Celine Dions version is definitely one of them.
Nicole Scherzinger at the Olivier Awards is also one I dont particularly enjoy.
John Barrowmans take on the song is also weird.
I feel he didnt really connected to the song.
