I asked:

What about my second question: "Do they sound like opera singers?"

I'm currently looking for singers for my vocal quintet who can sing
jazz without sounding like jazz singers, classical music without
sounding like classical singers, bluegrass without sounding like
bluegrass singers, and folk music without sounding like folk singers.
I'm wondering whether someone who comes from the speech-based school
might be a such a singer.
