I wish I had Kristen Chenoweth's vibrato on my higher notes

I want to be able to sing (in full chest) a C below the bass clef and an F on the top line of the treble clef (and everything in between, thus creating a range of over 3 octaves and the ability to sing almost every male role ever written in musical theatre and opera). Also a boundless falsetto to sing countertenor and Frankie Valli-type roles. I also want to be able to produce a natural pop-rock sound that doesn't sound like a legit singer trying to sing pop-rock.

That. I'm a classically trained soprano, so singing high notes isn't a problem, but I could never be cast in any rock/pop musical. I also sometimes wish I had a clear Sutton Foster-like belt.

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

I can't do any voices. I learned this when we did voiceovers in class. I mean like, cartoon voices. I can affect my voice to sound older and younger but its still my voice.

I wish I had a clearer tone.
Your latest 7in sounds obscene unless you spin it at a 45.

I wish I had Cheno's vibrato and Brightman's high C's. Right now, I have Elaine Page's vibrato and I can't get past a B without cracking.

Be sassy. I'm soooooooooooooooo classical.
No one wants to see a musical called Thoroughly Modern Mildred.

I wish I wasn't a bass. There are, like, no awesome roles written for basses in the past forty years except Sweeney Todd. I just started voice lessons over the summer and my range is from the E below the bass clef to about middle C, but it's getting bigger quickly. When I started lessons this summer, my range was from the G at the bottom of the bass clef to the G an octave above, so in a few months (or maybe more than just a few...) I'll have just about doubled my range, hopefully. I'm waiting to get the E above middle C so I can sing "Being Alive" from Company and accompany myself on piano and then make a youtube video of me as Raul Esparza in the revival of Company (I've been playing piano for years and years and I recently learned how to play the song). Another drawback is that it's really awkward being the only bass in eighth grade. Oh, and I wish I had a big vibrato, but I've been noticing it slowly develop, and it excites me.

I wish I could hit a tenor C. I can hit up to like a C4, and then I have to go into falsetto. I'm a baritenor and C4 is the highest I can go, but I can go low (not exactly sure how low though.)

Cure cancer
But seriously, I wish I had a voice that had some rock quality to it. And I wish I could hit a d5 without falsetto

I wish I had the ability to sing both Musical Theatre and Opera/Classical without it sounding weird.
I wish I had a voice teacher that did more classic musical theatre repetoire with me instead of opera.
Let's say I'm in the position Audra McDonald was some odd years ago.

I wish I could sing soft and airy for some points and not feel unstable. Oh and that tenor high C would be nice. :)

So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that every male here wants to hit C5 (Tenor C)
