For those who dare to go beyond the shower!
With the new season of American Idol coming up, Youtube has a number of karaoke arias, duets and ensemble opportunities for you budding amateur singers. So if you dare, leave the confines of the acoustics of your shower and now you can sing anywhere! Your living room, the park, for a laugh in a public rest room, in the middle of a business meeting.....a perfect opportunity to start a scene with your I-Pad!! Maybe you will be the next American Idol!
Vesti la Giubba from "I Pagliacci"
A duet, "La ci darem la mano" from "Don Giovanni"
Or get a few friends together for the "Brindisi" from "La Traviata" with a theatre organ background!
We can't leave out that over-exposed aria, "Nessun Dorma" now could we?
For the totally adventurous coloratura soprano, "Der Holle Rache" from "Die Zauberflote"
And not to leave those Mezzo's out, the "Habanera" from "Carmen"
