Hi,
My name is Sofia and I am lyric soprano, currently studying at the operastudio in Stockholm. I have just registered for this list and am looking forward to participating in the group.
I already have a question to post (hope it's ok!):
I understand that it is hard to tell what a voice will "become" when the student is a beginner, because a voice changes over time, and with training. However, I wonder if this is equally true regarding the age of the beginners age. That is: if a beginner is 18, 21, or 24 when starting to take lessons. Would it be easier to tell what the voice of a 25 year old beginner will be after 8 years of training (I think I would be ref. to "fach" - which in turn depends on timbre, range, volume, squillo etc. etc.) than it would be when it comes to a beginner who is 4 years younger?
I have heard arguments both ways...
Kind regards, Sofia
