Hi and thank you for opening the floor for suggestions!
Iād love to see a methodical approach to classic vocal training materialāspecifically a structured course on the Vaccai exercises, as well as a deep dive into the standard classical arias found in the well-known "24 Italian Songs and Arias" and similar anthologies that are widely taught in conservatories. These form the core of classical vocal education, and a step-by-step guide on how to approach them would be incredibly valuable.
It would also be great to explore how a classical singer learns a new piece: what exercises they do, how they analyze the piece musically and vocally, and how they build it into their voice gradually.
Another idea would be a dedicated āPractice Roomā section in the menuāa space just for daily vocal routines, warm-ups, technical exercises, and drills. A go-to place for focused and consistent practice.
And while it might be a bit niche, perhaps one day there could be some content exploring vocal placement for Byzantine chant or even training in Gregorian melodies. I realize this might be beyond the typical western classical focus, but it could be a fascinating and enriching addition.
Here are a few additional ideasāeven though I know tonebase already covers some of them, it might be great to expand or revisit them in new ways:
"Interpretation Classes" ā Beyond technique, a series focused on interpretation: phrasing, diction, emotion, and how different singers approach the same aria differently depending on style, period, and language.
"Mindset for Singers" ā A mini-series or challenge on building vocal confidence, overcoming performance anxiety, and developing consistency in practice.
Language-Specific Diction Labs ā Especially for Italian, French, and German. These could be combined with IPA training and sung examples.
Repertoire Builder ā A course series that helps singers at different levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) gradually build a well-balanced repertoire, with practical tips on choosing and preparing pieces for auditions, competitions, or recitals.
Thanks again for listeningāreally looking forward to whatās coming next!

Vivaldi , Mozart, Bach, all for soprano and mezzo soprano, but not limited to that. if its not too much. i dont want to seem selfish or greedy . Perhaps whistle tones again sometime. love the idea of more diction. even though i took the diction courses required of me there are a lot of unpolished things.

Hello!
I would like much more soprano rep... My fav at least a couple of Italian Opera Arias for Soprano, so that I can see if I'm working right on my own.
A dream would be Joyce DiDonato and Cecilia Bartoli mezzos, Lisette Oropesa and Diana Damrau sopranos as well as Luca Salsi baritone here on the platform.
Thanks, ciao ššāš»
