You cannot imagine how sad i was when i found out i cannot sing
Wagner!!!! I don't know exactly what kind of soprano i am but i'm
DEFINITELY not a dramatic! :( If i was to sing in some point of the
opera someone would stand up and yell: Where the hell is the sop!? =)

We started recording some song- so i could study home-. It's been a year
since i began having classes and in the beginning everything was SO
wrong that i couldn't listen to my own voice recorded. Now i improved a
lot and i can do that :)))) Although when i hear my voice on the tape i
don't like my high notes!!!!! And i'm a soprano!!!!! On the other hand
my low-it means 2 notes =)- and mid register sound absolutely cute!
But when i listen to myself singing i have the feeling that my high
notes are cute and my low/mid register is okay and perhaps too dark! Do
I trust more in what I hear or in what's recorded??????????????????

lol I remember one day that my teacher had me 5 minutes of an exercise
w/out the piano, i even thought: oh God, will it end or not? Then we
finished and my teacher asked me: Does it hurt? And i said no, and
panicked! Don't tell me we had a 5 minutes exercise and it was ALL
wrong?! lol Bad habit from physical education :)
