Catherine,
you sound like you could do well as a Soubrette.... these are all of the fun
roles anyway!
As for the lower range, I am a mezzo who can easily sing down to a C on
anyday, and somedays down to an A. ... yeah, I'm a freak, I know. (although
I'm sure Karen can do it!) I just attribute my lower range to being a 6 foot
tall mezzo... my best friend likes to call me the big blonde man...yeah,
really flattering, huh?
Good luck!
Love, Lauren
Re: this message here...
Hello all,
Since there have been a lot of "What am I" questions lately, I decided
to finally get my courage up and see what sort of opinions you might
have. I'm a soprano in my late twenties, and have been studying for
about seven years. Over my training, the lower end of my range has
descended and descended, so that now I can sing over an octave below
middle C - it's not pretty,but any means, but the tone is decent down to
the D below middle C. Here's the problem - my upper range has hardly
increased at all, especially in terms of sustaining notes. I can sing
up to D6 and sometimes squeak out a E6, but they are most definitely
"not pretty" and hanging on to them for any lenghth of time is just not
an option at all!
So, what I'd like to know is......
1. Do any of the other sopranos out there have access to this lower
register? (I imagine it's the complete opposite of whistle register)
2. Am I really a soprano (my tone is fairly light and my instrument is
not huge, but adequate. I tend to find songs with a medium tessitura
the easiest)?
I'm just feeling particularly frustrated of late and hope that someone
out there might shed some light on my struggles......
Thanks in advance,
Catherine
