a still wider variety of sounds is open to the singer who uses amplification. a good classical singer, using amplification, will have additional possibilities open to them (providing they have the ability to take advantage of them). comparing recorded opera, for example, to live opera at a large house like the met, one can plainly hear the tremendous difference the amplification in the recording studio, makes. in recorded opera, the voices are much more prominent than they are in the opera house.
