Calling all Lyrics! (Sopranos, that is) — Page 8

I actually got the college talk today. I'm hoping to intern for a Broadway producer this summer. That would be amazing. Unfortunately, it's virtually impossible to get a good journalistic internship in high school.

Got an audition at DePaul, got rejected from CCM.

February is going to be the worst month of my life (auditions every weekend)

and a Josh Groban concert in between. :)

Isn't Tanglewood at Boston conservatory?

EDIT: My bad, it's Boston University. (And I should know, I live here!)

Hey all. another lyrical soprano joining. i can sing up to an f above high c, and i keep going. my goal is 4 octaves, i have 3 1/2. but recently i've been singing tenor in Felix Mendelssohn's Lobgesang. It's fun. So i've got the lower range to strengthen my upper. does anyone else have this? because i think a lower range is essential to singing, especially opera and musical theatre.

Soprano Love!

i don't think it's a challenge but then again singing with my director you are required to be able to sing everything.

LilMiz, your voice does NOT suck! From what I've heard on your myspace, it's absolutely gorgeous, and if they don't want you then I don't know what they want. Where else have you applied?

I haven't heard from Oberlin yet, but if they denied you, then I'm certain they denied me. I've already been denied at New England Conservatory and Mannes.

At least I got an audition at Rice though, which is where I want to go the most out of those conservatory-type places.

This whole situation has got me thinking that while I love classical singing so much, musical theatre is my passion and I don't think I can give that up for four years. I love straight acting too much. I've been applying to NYU, Fordham, and Pace just for English or Dramatic Lit just to see how I do not performing for a year. If I can't do it, then I'll transfer into a performance program, whether it be voice, musical theatre, or straight theatre.

You aren't the only people scared... I have this awful fear I'm going to be stuck in my home state, not getting my degree in Musical Theatre, but in English or some other "back up" plan... honestly, if they rejected you, their loss!!! So many factors go in though... where you are located, whether or not they can offer you good financial aid, whether or not they have too many people similar to you vocally and whatnot at their school...

Such is life. But what will be, will be... sometimes this stuff is out of our control (and I mean this in an entirely non-religious way...just as a general idea)

wow, i can only send compassion, i haven't applied for colleges yet, but anyway i am sure there is a college for you. LilMiZ, you are auditioning for some of the most competitive colleges in the nation, so it's not your fault. i have a friend who auditioned for Ithica in NY and he's amazing, but it's still unsure if he got in. i mean it could be something in your actual application (i.e. types of classes taken, personal essay) so don't worry.
could you give me a link to your myspace, because now i want to hear your voice?
I have confidence in anyone who has confidence in themselves.

wow, i'll tell you what, wow! i cannot believe you even thought you suck, LilMiZ! i can't believe colleges aren't begging for you to come into their department. wow! how long have you been singing. I would kill to sound that good, and i've been singing for 10 years!
I would love to find a way to hear other sopranos here. maybe then i will learn to be a better soprano. the problem is, i'm scared of my own solo voice, but not in a choir or anything, just solo! so kudos to everyone able to control that fear or don't have it!

thanks for the welcome, you're the first to do it. and it's good to know i'm not alone in my fear. I mean there's that whole stereotype of all sopranos being cocky and arrogant, and i was a little scared i would be shunted on this thread, but i guess not.
