Dear John LInk & Listers:
Have heard this type of tone. Lived for many years in a NC city where there was
a mezzo-soprano who had this. Same NC city where the hog (hawg!) farmer wrote
all the performance reviews for the local newspaper! This singer could do NO
wrong!! Discovered this vocalism in a church choir situation with an older
soprano who simply couldn't cut it. "Mystery pitch" would describe it! This
statement in no way reflects poorly on all older singers. I accompanied a 76
yr. old soprano student of Enrico Rosati who sang "Voi che sapete" from Marriage
of Figaro and "Alleluia" from Exsultate, Jubilate (WITH flawless high c!!) very
beautifully at that age! She loved to sing! I greatly enjoyed hearing about
Rosati's pedagogy from another individual.
Truly sounds like a heavy vibrato or wobble to me. Would prefer to hear the
actual voice, but the demo could hint of a potential part-time income! Dress
up like Dame Edna, trot out Victor Herbert's "Art Is Calling For Me" and I'll
bet a new career will blossom! :) !!!!!
Ed
