Marcomeatball is a pro opera singer turned voice actor turned youtuber who specializes in breaking down video game music both for the first time with "reaction" content as well as exploring some of the deeper emotions embedded in songs he knows and loves. His mission: To educate audiences on how to FEEL the music they love in a different way. Moving past complex musical terminology and jargon and into emotions everyone can relate to.
This piece is such a harrowing and beautiful musical composition, full of pain, radiance, and anguish. Really hard to pull off. That said this is a cover of the Scaramouche battle theme: I so enjoyed the experience of listening to this for the first time several weeks ago that I instantly knew that I needed to cover it. The purity of the vocal line and classical stepwise movements of the original are magnificent. I tried to emulate them as best as possible though my voice is categorized as a "lyric/spinto tenor" while the fantastic tenor performing in the original is more than likely a "leggiero" tenor. There are differences in weight and hue in the sub categories of the voice types, so you may hear a darker quality in my rendition than the original. In addition, the breathlessness of the original is masterfully done in creating that sense of desperation and rage. Interestingly, I also create that breathlessness but it comes across much more aggressive simply due to again the natural qualities of my trained voice. Such a fun experience singing a Mozartian melody in Genshin Impact. Thanks to @AtharavaMohite for the wonderful cover and rendition. It is certainly "operatic".
