| Hello Everyone! I'd Like To Introduce Myself To The Group.
My Name Is Winter Rose Nightingale~Nickerson, But You Can Call Me Rose. Everyone Does. I'm An AspiringOpera Singer And A Newlywed <I Married My Handsome Prince, Tristan, Two Months Ago, On November 30th, 2001 ~ And It Was A Dream Come True!> I Live Near Ft Lauderdale, FL, With My Husband And Our Four~Footed Feline Baby, Yin~Yang, A Tuxedo B&W Shorthair Cat Who Always Looks Dressy Enough To Attend An Evening At The Met :o)
I've Been Quietly Reading Posts And Absorbing The Wonderful Atmosphere And Helpful, Friendly Feeling Of This List And I Hope You Will All Welcome Me Into The Group.
I Am 23 Years Old, And, According To My Darling Husband, A Bratty, Temperamental, Redheaded Mini~Diva <I'm Only 4' 11 3/4 " Tall> Funny How The Sweet, Sensitive Poetic Men <My Husband Is A Writer> Fall For Us Difficult Prima Donna Princesses, Isn't It?
Actually, I Am Being Quite Silly And Hope You Don't Mind. This List Has Me A Bit Intimidated As I Am Just A Beginner And Not At All As Expert As Some Of You Have Proven To Be Through Your Posts.......
The Questions I Had For You All Are As Follows:
I'm Looking For A Good Vocal Coach In My Area.......Any Tips, Suggestions Or Connections You Can Supply Would Be MOST Appreciated.......
Until Recently I've Been Concentrating On Solo Pieces And Arias <Per La Gloria D'Adorarvi, Amarilli, Caro Mi Ben, Etc.> Rather Than Learning An Entire Operatic Role And I'd Love Any Input Or Suggestions As To What Would Be A Good First Role For Me To Learn.......
I'm A Coloratura Soprano With A Very Clear And Strong Upper Register <My Top Note Fluctuates Between F & E Above High C> And A Really Powerful, Big~Sounding Lower Register <My Bottom Note Is F Below Middle C, But I Can Go Lower>
In Appearance I've Been Called *The Quintessential Soubrette*, I Am 23 But Look About 16, Very Petite, Diminutive Even, With Very Long, Curly Hair And A Perpetually Innocent Expression <The Term Most Often Used, And Which Makes Me Insane, Is *Doll~Like*>
I'd Be Very Interested In Any Of Your Suggestions Or Opinions As To A Suitable First Role For A Singer With My Range And Appearance.......
My Final Question <And I Hope This Entire Post Isn't Hideously OT> Is Do Any Of You Have Any Unique, Or Interesting Breathing Techniques Or Exercises You Could Share? My Problem Is Sustaining The Very Highest Notes For More Than 25/30 Seconds.......
Thank You All So Much And Please Pardon My Rambling!
I Look Forward To Any Responses.
Rose
