Mark Vincent joins Paul Cashmere for a revealing Noise11 interview covering one of the most significant periods of his career, from performing the John Farnham classics “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and “Dare To Dream” to preparing to share the stage with legendary tenor José Carreras.
Mark Vincent talks openly about the emotional experience of performing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” at the John Farnham concert at Rod Laver Arena. Having previously hoped to perform the song with Farnham, Mark explains how he imagined John beside him on stage and recalls the advice from Jon Stevens that helped him approach the performance in his own way.
He also discusses performing “Dare To Dream” with Danielle Gaha, the four months of vocal training required to reach John Farnham’s original key and the lessons he learned from working with Danielle.
The conversation then turns to José Carreras and Mark’s childhood memories of watching the Three Tenors. Mark explains what it means to perform with one of his musical heroes and discusses the differences between their voices, his own classical training and the importance of versatility in sustaining a long career.
Mark also reflects on the singers who influenced him, including José Carreras, Luciano Pavarotti and Mario Lanza, and explains why technique alone is not enough. For Mark, connecting truthfully with a song is at the heart of great performance.
The interview also explores Mark’s work in musical theatre, including Dirty Dancing and My Fair Lady, his experiences with Marina Prior and the lessons he learned from working across classical music, theatre and popular performance.
Finally, Mark looks back on being just 15 years old when he appeared on Australia’s Got Talent, the decision to pursue music professionally and the hard work required after the television cameras stop rolling.
