Absolutely. As a mezzo with a chest voice a la Horne, I also get the same
prejudice. However, I find that the further up the food chain you rise,
anyone who knows what it takes to be heard in a big house will finally
appreciate and understand the larger voice. And, the obvious thing in the
meantime, is to try to audition in as large a room as possible.
