My vocal coach says that she can look at a person and tell which vocal part they sing. That has always facinated me! I usually sing Baritone but have been known to sing Second Tenor and First Bass on many occasions as well.Originally posted by madame_zora@Dec 23 2004, 09:12 AM
Just based on looks alone I would guess you as a baritone. Don't know if that's just wishful thinking...

Ooh, I love a broad range baritone more than anything. Once in a while a person will have a singing voice that does not match their apparent body type, but I can usually guess pretty close. There are exceptional singers in all ranges, but I find the baritone range most often appealing. Then again, I love Jon Anderson from Yes and Peter Steele from Type O Negative, and they are at opposite ends of the spectrum!

Oh Ashlar, I am so disappointed. I was sure you were going to tell us about your super range in singing. But.... at least you enjoy the thought of going to the opera
I have just been amazed at this thread. I could see artistic talent abounding everywhere. Now is see the source. All this artistic talent.
I was a music major in college. Piano major. I don't sing that well. At least no one asks me to sing and they do ask me to play the piano. Not that I didn't take voice lessons. I managed to pass the voice profiency test singing an Italian aria and a French aria. I played Mozart Concerto in D minor , a Beethoven Sonata and two Chopin pieces on my senior recital.
I agree that for men the baritone voice is the best. A good baritone can sing most of the tenor and most of the bass and has the best solo voice. High tenors add so much to the ensemble, but usually don't have as good of solo voices as the baritones.
Same is true of women. The mezzo-sopranos usually have the best solo voices particularly if they have wide range.
DMW, I would love to hear you sing. I wondered why you knew so many languages. Now I know.
And don't worry about your voice Ashlar. First I suspect that you didn't know what to do when your voice changed. I bet you could be taught to sing beautifully. But one thing is for sure. You are artistic and have great literary skills. The likes of which I just drool to have. You use those words that require a dictionary from time to time. I love reading your posts.
If I were your age and not married........but I am married with a son your age, and you have Herble. So we won't go there.

Well ... after my voice went and I realized I really couldnt sing anymore I focused more on playing flute ... then I learned piccolo, then oboe, then tenor sax, and now i'm playing violin. So all's well that ends well I suppose.
I wanted to be a music major myself ... however the university here only offers music as a minor, thus I decided to major in english and minor in music.
