Calling all Lyrics! (Sopranos, that is) — Page 10

congrats, I'm excited for you. I'm nervous, I have show choir auditions today!!!

Hey! Another soprano, here... =D
My lowest comfortable note is middle C (I can go lower, though) and my highest right now is a high D. My teacher says I'm a "potential" lyric.
I don't have many dream roles... either Maria or Anita in West Side Story, and Marguerite in The Scarlet Pimpernel. And Fanny Brice in Funny Girl... None of which except Maria would fit my voice. lol (not to mention I can't dance to save my life)
I have no belt whatsoever, which is dissapointing, because I'm a huge Judy Garland fan...
I graduated from high-school last year, and now I'm working full time (at a recording studio! woo-hoo! heh, stuffing CD cases is so educational) so I can fund a summer at Tanglewood... if they except me... I'm so nervous!!
To answer some of the questions from a few pages back in this thread... some of my favorite sopranos are Leontyne Price, Dawn Upshaw, Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman.
I wanted to become a singer because of Sandi Patty! She's an "old-school" "pop" soprano... but she's done a few classical things and recorded a lot of musical theatre stuff. Wow, that voice... I listened to her "Morning Like This" album on cassette until I wore it out! lol
If anybody wants to hear me sing, I've put all four songs from my Christmas CD onto my myspace:

Usually, I hate hearing myself sing, but I'm really proud of that CD. lol. Especially since I brought all the components together myself. Scheduled the accompanist, booked the studio...
Anyway! Long introduction, there. =D

I am both a soprano and an alto. My highest note is a e# above high c. And my lowest note is an A 2 octaves below middle C. I am currently a Sophmore in Highschool and Am 15. I thought this would be a fun thread to join.

Anyone here switch fachs?

Two old teachers told me I was a dramatic. Current teacher thinks I'm probably just a very big, very loud lyric.

hey all! Just thought I'd update on all the auditions and everything.

I've gotten denied from Northwestern, Manhattan School of Music, and U of M.

But I've gotten accepted at DePaul and Roosevelt!

So I'll be headed to Chicago next year to be a Blue Demon at DePaul! I couldn't be happier....

I am looking at colleges to apply to. Any ideas?


Currently my #1 choice is emerson

I haven;t realy looked at any other.

Everyone I know who goes to BU abslotely loves it. And Boston's a great city!
On the accepted thread though, you seemed really excited about OCU, so I think you have to follow your instincts about which would be the best fit for you. You have some really good schools to choose from

You're all weeners and I'm jealous of you. I wish I had my head on straight when I was in high school and knew I wanted to study voice. But nooooo I didn't decide I wanted to study voice till after I had my worthless BA in English...

Please have a blast and work hard, for me, and all the other 20-somethings that are getting into this stuff later in life!

I'm a soprano with a range of g below middle c to d above high c (not that big, ha). I am studying music in college.

don't worry about it, sweetie.... i didnt even like tanglewood that much when i was there...and my voice teacher was horrible... something else will come up and you will have a great summer.

Apparetnly, 52 (!) sopranos tried out for Tanglewood, the most they've ever had. my friend who is crazy talented, and is just SO intelligent about music and composition and all that was rejected as well. Therefore, it's not so indicative of talent as much as they just had an unusually large amount try out.
And tell your parents, if you don't feel bad for yourself, they won't (or shouldn't) either.

My Fair Lady!!!

I was waitlisted. but I have an audition for Northwestern Summer vocal Inst. next week, so I'm hoping to nail that, because I doubt I'll get into BUTI this summer.
