0:04:14 > 0:04:18- I literally don't know - what I'm doing with music theory.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20- That's why I'm here - to learn.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- One or two have no idea, really.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- It was very difficult.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02- ..and guarantee a memorable concert.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- I've never sung songs - like this before.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07- Much more difficult.

0:05:10 > 0:05:15- These pieces are sung by - professional choirs the world over.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- We're singing in Latin, German...

0:05:20 > 0:05:22- ..French, Hungarian.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23- Domine.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24- Domine.- - Domine.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27- It's a lot of work - with some difficult high notes.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- # Domine

0:05:29 > 0:05:30- # Domine #

0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Sometimes it's difficult - to keep up...

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- ..but I'm here to work - as hard as I can.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- # Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah #

0:05:45 > 0:05:49- As part of the week, the boys - receive one-to-one training...

0:05:49 > 0:05:51- ..from Miriam Bowen.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54- # Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah #

0:05:55 > 0:05:56- Open your mouth. Say ah.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57- Open your mouth. Say ah.- - # Ah #

0:05:57 > 0:05:58- That's it.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Harri has huge potential. - He's natural.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04- We need to work on his confidence.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- That's affecting his pitch - right now.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08- # Ah-ah #

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- I'm glad I've had the chance - to work with Miriam.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17- She encourages me to hit the note - at the middle.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18- # Ah-ah #

0:06:19 > 0:06:20- It's still sharp.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25- That's a minor thing. - That's rectified quite easily.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28- # Santa #

0:06:29 > 0:06:34- You can detect right away that - Rhys has been singing for years.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Very experienced, confident...

0:06:36 > 0:06:40- ..and whatever you tell him to do, - he does it right away.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Fab sound - but you're closing your eyes!

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- One of the things Miriam told me...

0:06:50 > 0:06:54- ..is to keep my eyes open - and show emotion in my face.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- We want to see what's inside him, - his feelings.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- If his eyes are closed, - you can't see.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Minor things, but for a singer...

0:07:08 > 0:07:10- ..they're so crucial.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18- # Are you going - to Scarborough fair? #

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- The Academi has been designed - to challenge the boys.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- The work is non-stop.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Rehearsals and lessons - during the day...

0:07:31 > 0:07:35- ..and a full rehearsal with Tim - during the evening.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39- The timetable is intense.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41- They're long days.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- We've been singing since 9.00am.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49- I'm enjoying it - but it strains the voice.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53- I didn't expect it to last so long.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- These boys are young, straight - from school or still at school.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06- My throat is starting - to feel strained.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Some of the boys - are starting to feel tired...

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- ..but, sorry, boys, get more sleep.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Every year in the Academi, - Tim invites a special guest...

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- ..to do a master class.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34- This year, world-renowned Rebecca - Evans will conduct the class.

0:08:34 > 0:08:39- A special experience for the boys - to learn from the best.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48- The boys are so lucky - to have the chance to be here.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54- It's a great pleasure for me - to hear boys enjoy singing.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Not everyone gets the opportunity.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Only four have been chosen - from the group.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Luckily, I'm one.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- It's the first time I've - sung a solo in front of the choir.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Most have never heard me sing - on my own - I'm nervous about that.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28- It's long, it is long...

0:09:28 > 0:09:30- ..but you must work from here...

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- I learnt more than I expected.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37- I learnt about the shape - of the mouth and how to sing.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- It lifts the soft palette.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44- It was nice to see the positive - influence it had on the boys...

0:09:45 > 0:09:47- ..when they worked with Rebecca.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52- # Dee-dee-de-dee-dee #

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Rhys was fantastic today, fair play.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58- He's so young - but he wanted to learn.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Smiling helps sometimes.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05- I need to feel more comfortable - and relax a little.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Being relaxed is so important.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14- They don't like dancing...

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- ..but we had a lot of fun together.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- I don't think I'll go far - as a dancer.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24- More relaxed.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28- It was brilliant to see someone - with so much experience...

0:10:28 > 0:10:32- ..working with the boys - and making such a difference.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- The five Northwalians have been - chucked in at the deep end.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48- I'm enjoying it but it is hard work.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Everyone is focused.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Everyone's practising.

0:10:54 > 0:10:59- By the weekend concert, they need - to know these pieces perfectly.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19- I'm nervous about that.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- It's intense because there - aren't enough solos for everyone.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28- # It's alright to feel afraid #

0:14:06 > 0:14:08- I hope I'm given a solo part.

0:14:09 > 0:14:10- That was my aim.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19- There's no time to waste.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23- With the concert days away, - decisions must be made.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Elder Grant is Mitchell.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Three full days of rehearsals to go.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11- The boys need to learn their lines - and sing without copies.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- We'll show the Southwalians - that we can do a job.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28- To ensure that the concert - reaches the highest standards...

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Rhys, you're the first - to your knees.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Whilst any speaks - that fought with us.

0:15:43 > 0:15:49- What I've been working on is - how to embody what they're doing...

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- ..which is not an easy task - for people who don't do this.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Usually, Jonathan and I work with...

0:16:02 > 0:16:06- ..professional singers, - performers and actors.

0:16:06 > 0:16:12- We're trying to guarantee - the same standard in the Academi.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Go back a bit, you guys.

0:16:15 > 0:16:20- We push them in every rehearsal. - I don't want passengers on stage.

0:16:20 > 0:16:27- I want a group of men working - together to make special music.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Since he joined Only Boys Aloud...

0:16:33 > 0:16:35- ..Harri's aim was to sing a solo.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Following the excitement - of being chosen...

0:16:39 > 0:16:43- ..the reality and responsibility - hit home.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48- In his final lesson with Miriam, the - high notes are a cause for concern.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- A good note there, Harri.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53- A good note there, Harri.- - It was a hard lesson.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57- I've never been pushed vocally - like I was just then.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- # Pretty lady #

0:16:59 > 0:17:01- # Pretty... #

0:17:02 > 0:17:03- Go back up.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15- # Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah #

0:17:16 > 0:17:17- No, no, no, come on.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- # Pretty lady #

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- I want pretty lady on the same note.
