I'm probably the wrong person to comment, as I'm a) not conservatory trained
and b) a big honkin' mezzo (according to my current teacher). However, my
teacher in Philadelphia insisted that improving my chest voice would provide
a solid foundation (so to speak) for the top of my range. I've got about
four notes up there that I can credit to her.
Now, back to working on my "Candide" stuff. Too &#$@^% many words!
