From what I have seen on this list, some teachers consider multiple factors when determining fach - vocal timbre/color, passagios (breaks), facial structure, comfortable tessitura, etc. My voice teacher, however, is adamant that your passagios are the only thing that determine one's fach. Under that line of thought, I was a high lyric mezzo before because even though I could vocalise up to D6 on a good day and my voice had a soprano quality to it, I had the breaks of a mezzo. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
