All of what you said makes sense in my situation! The people who hear me live are very appreciative and I do not receive any comments about harshness (unless you count my old opera director who had _hearing aids_ which I undoubtedly rattled.) My teacher and coach say exactly what you said about it being difficult to record voices like mine and have it do me justice. I am just fearful of sending in the tape, because I don't know if they are going to know that the sound they are hearing is not the best I can do! I hope they will figure it out. My teacher says that when I sing the way I sing in lessons it's amazing. So I should just sing that way all the time. Maybe on auditions I back off the resonance just a bit, which lessons the colour. I can fix that. Also: is there a relationship between having a big voice and not getting into a Young Artist Program or school touring program? I have had success in all other areas. I will be managed starting in late Jan. but never did a YAP.????
