Can someone please tell me what's the difference on being an alto or mezzo soprano? Can an alto sing a mezzo soprano song or can a mezzo soprano sing a song for an alto? i am confused.
It also has to do with the tonal quality of your voice, not necessarily your range (although that also plays a part). Example: Linda Eder is a mezzo belter but can still hit a top F above top c (which she does in her rendition of Man of la Mancha). That doesn't make her a sop though, as her vocal tonal quality is - mezzo.
