Yes, Dottie, where is the retribution? The most fitting punishment would be to take money away from those who profited most from the trainwrecky Bush admin. and place them in the types of minimum wage jobs that said admin. is so proud of creating.
Or give them the ol' Mussolini treatment. I'd put a photo of it, but it's a bit graphic, even for this crowd.

The flat fare is sucky, yes. So is the fact that they've shaved 50 cents off the bonus fare when you put $10 or $20 on your card. $20 used to get you a $24 metrocard, now it's $23.50.
Meanwhile, the wait at 50th street for an uptown C continues to be at least 15 minutes.

I think composers, producers, etc., should just write less belty and acrobatic scores. Breakdowns should not be calling for people who can belt to G or whatever. I'd rather hear something lyrical and articulate with the occasional fireworks than something that overdoes the loud.

Well, I think that's a good thing. IMHO there is no healthy way to belt, and Eden Espinosa's belting sounds damaging. I think she's talented, but lucky.

What IS a soprano in denial? Someone who wants sing Rent-ily but is actually better suited to Carousel-like material?

I'll bet some nimrod will try to pay her off to drop out. Or threaten her, if they haven't already. After all, she did completely and suddenly stop talking about universal health care a short while into her stint as first lady.

Doesn't really look like her at all. Looks more like a "she's got her own cartoon" kind of rendering.

>>"He said 'College is for people who don't know what they want to do. I knew what I wanted to do.'"
College is also for people who need to get a degree in order to do what they want to do.
Knowing what you want to do and actually getting to do it is based on a lot of luck and happenstance. Showbiz is pretty happenstancey.

Very cool, jrb. You're definitely passionate about this, and it's contagious.
Sibling rivals they may indeed be, but their differences are their strengths. Makes it more interesting. And IMHO there are a lot of Kristins and Audras out there, versatile performers who bridge that gap.
Right now the only thing that the Met and MT have in common is trying to appeal to wider audiences by skewing younger and younger. The Met's hiring green, yet attractive, singers (with not

Thanks for your post, jrb. I've learned a lot from you today, cf. the resume thread. :) Hey...I'm cool with _all_ of this information. I'm really enjoying hearing about these points of view and the words that people keep using in lessons and rehearsal, but never can explain, as understanding the terms seems to be a time-release sort of process.

re: Singing range on resumes

Thanks, KrissySim, ljay889 and Jrb! Jrb, you made excellent points. For all the specificity that might be required at an audition, initial impressions in the form of a resume do have to contain a healthy amount of ambiguity, for lack of a better word, due to the tunnel visionitis you described.
Thanks for the advice, all, and thanks for the perspective, jrb! I've taken the range off the resume and left in vocal type (mezzo/soprano).

Singing range on resumes

2008, 01:01:32 AM
Not sure which board this goes on...
For the singers on the board, what do you put for vocal range on your resumes? Do you include every note you're capable of reaching on your good days, or do you claim a stronger, smaller range?
Please excuse the newbie question.
