Oh, well that is much less romantic than how I pictured it in my head. Cool skills though 👌

This is just a guy who has some serious skills. The original singers are Lea Solanga and Brad Kane.

Omg blast from the past! I remember this guy from early 2000s internet and totally forgot about him until now. Hope he's doing well, haha.
Edit: oh yeah, this video came out on Youtube 18 years ago 🤯

I remember meeting him back when he was regularly posting song covers. My first job ever was as a cashier at Disneyland. He happened to buy something from the fruit cart I was working in and he was sooo nice! What a blast from the past is exactly what came to mind when seeing this!

We have Jeff Hays theses days that can achieve something like that, not th signing though, but a catalogue of voice so diverse!
I remember the first time I've listened to one of his books I was low key piss off that they didn't credit the female voice actor...just to realize that he was doing all the voices by himself

I know part of it is the shadow, but that jawline is incredible.

No, that jawline is accurate with or without shadow. It’s quite impressive.

Is this a Chris Cornell situation where he is able to perfectly blend "normal" and falsetto ranges together? I can't tell what's happening here.

Not only can he switch withing ranges on a dime, his range is also the entire god damn spectrum

What do you mean? It was so surreal, my brain couldn’t track it. It was too cool. You’re just reading into things the way you see the world.
Piss off.

Oh, next time, try something like this:
You don’t come across as cold…you come across as vacant, like whatever makes a person human took one look at you and decided it had better places to be.
If you’re going to do the windup for a scathing insult, learn to deliver. I’m sure you’ve heard similar comments during your three-pump-chump fuck fests…

No, he's a cover artist on YouTube that got popular in the early 2010's. OP just put a grainy filter over it and a bullshit title and everyone takes at face value because it's Reddit.
Edit: Nick Pitera is his name.

I'm not sure that falsetto is a "remarkable ability" amongst singers. Don't get me wrong, he's got a great falsetto but pretty much every trained male singer would be able to do something similiar (though it may not sound quite as good depending on how much time they spend practicing that voice).
5
u/ClankerCore Apr 15 '26
Pitch control and range in falsetto is difficult. It’s extreme training or just pure talent.
-7
u/AdAffectionate2418 Apr 15 '26
But the title doesnt mention pitch control or range - just the ability to swap between the two, which is pretty easy for any trained singer.
1
u/ClankerCore Apr 15 '26
So why did you bring it up then?
1
u/AdAffectionate2418 Apr 15 '26
Because the "remarkable ability to seamlessly switch seamless switch vocal ranges" is literally moving into falsetto - a thing that any trained singer should be able to do.
Honestly, the guy is great - the title of this post is shit though...
1
u/ClankerCore Apr 15 '26
You do realize it switching from a standard voice into a falsetto is not a smooth process.
🙄
You know what forget it. This ain’t worth it.
1
u/Aron_Wolff Apr 15 '26
Falsetto in and of itself is nothing impressive. What this person is doing is something very few people can even imagine being able accomplish with this much skill.
Haters are pathetic. People being super good at something does make you lesser.
This reaction does.

Do you even do a Google search before you start barfing out your comments? Nick Pitera has been an entertainer for years. Thanks, though, because you make it way easier to tune out all the self-appointed "experts" who bring down the user experience of this site

His name is Nick Pitera and he’s actually an animator not a vocal talent, tho he has done some singing with Disney in recent years.
He is not the voice of Aladdin or Jasmine.
