Top of the staff F? Are you sure you're not a castrato?

You are referring to treble clef written 8vb, I assume? When F is on the top line?

You should try for Antony. Sing something romantic and "Golden Age" music theatre-ish--something from "Carousel", for example. If you want to stand out, look up the musical "Kismet" and sing "Stranger in Paradise"--I guarantee no one else will think of using it. If you want to be hip (in music theatre terms, that is), sing a Josh Groban song (one of the ones in English, please!)
