be an opera singer.

Nothing in the world can compare to the feeling one gets after hitting a gloriously high note. Because of this I have recently decided to attempt to become a wonderful singer, but then again that isn’t easy to do…

Ever since i was 6 years old i wrote music and i would sing everyday. So when i was about 17 i decided to take a course in singing. I went to her for about 5 months. In the beginning i came to her with pop songs that i wanted to sing. But when she heard my voice she told me to stop. Then she handed me a note sheet that said Sliegkliet on it. It was a German aria. So i tried to sing it and then she told me that i have such a unique voice and that i should never sing anything but this. So ever since I’ve been singing opera och different arias at home. I have been performing at my high school where i made at least 15 people cry, 5 of them which were guys. People i didn’t know cam e to me and said it was the most beautiful thins they had ever heard.

I am still not so convinced i can sing so good. It feels as if they were only saying those things to make feel better. But i love to sing it. So i am gonna give it a try och apply to The Royal Musical College of Sweden next year, and hope i get in. In either way i should probably contact my mothers ex-husband who is a retired opera singer.

Wish me luck!

It’s time to sing!!!

I’m singing in at least 5 operas a year, singing concerts & doing some session work, however I’m still supplementing my income with another full-time job. I will be a full-time singer, with the majority of my time spent in operas. The sooner the better!

so i’m a soprano, and opera like things are the only thing i can really sing. i want to perfect my voice

My goals have changed; I love music, but I’ve decided I don’t want myself into a career that will allow for very little else in my life; and more than anything, I want to do music in a way that lots of people can enjoy, not just the people that can afford a ticket to the opera.

I have spent the last 13 years taking voice lessons, performing and am now working on getting more goals and doing Young Artist Programs. I’m even getting a chance to direct part of a show this fall. I am debating whether to go and do grad school right now or to spend more time and effort on young artist programs, roles, and competitions. I have a young professionals NATS coming up that I’m going to audition for because my teacher seems to think that I’m ready. I get in my own way at times getting scared as I get closer but I know that there is nothing else that I want to do more than to be an opera singer. It’s nice that my voice is starting to settle and that I feel good in my own skin.

I’m a student at the Eastman School of Music by accident… idk… I love it there and I want to be an opera singer. Hmm, is that enough? We’ll see…

When I was younger I sang both as a soloist and in the chorus of one of the major regional companies..but, for the last several years have only worked as a church singer. I am planning on re-working and expanding my classical repertoire and pursuing a career again. I am a lot less nervous than I was when younger, which is a plus, and my voice (contralto)is possibly even richer… My advice to people wanting to be a singer is to go for it and do not get caught up in the egoism that is often present in the performing arts, and avoid people who are out to make a buck off of your desire to perform. Work your bum off and never turn down a chance to sing, unless of course, it will hurt your chords… :-) Sing for your own reasons…..

I’ve been trying to recover from some serious vocal damage (thickening on my cords) I haven’t been in an opera or voice lessons since last April. It’s been extremely frustrating for me. My cords WILL heal and I WILL be able to sing again soon. I am trusting God on this one, and doing everything I can on my end. Any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
