My question is...thanks for your post and question!<br /><br />My question is this: why do they hate hearing classical singers singing MT? Is it because it sounds too classical? Is it because the repertoire choices are wrong? Ultimately, the choice has to be this: are you singing for your voice or the style in which the music is written? A singer must USE her/his voice to allow the style to inform it, NOT to let the voice inform the style. There are MANY styles within the MT genre - know what you are working for ultimately and inform your voice thus.

It's obvious I'm an opera singer and have classical training, even when I sing MT. I try to choose the more legit roles and songs, however, I've run across directors who absolutely HATE hearing classical singers singing MT. How would you advise someone when running across something like that? Besides 'Stop singing for that director'! ;)Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570230981887052673noreply@blogger.com
