I actually have the opposite problem: I LOOK like a soprano—a small blonde girl—but I am a dramatic contralto. It’s SO funny.
The best way to sum this up is one of the voice professors at Capital: “So you’re the little girl with the big voice.” (I had sung as part of a recital that he’d attended) Most people expect me to be a Laurie or a Julie Jordan, but really, the voice is not that. At all. đŸ™‚ Although, as I’ve gotten older and the voice has matured, I can sing those parts; they’re just not my bread and butter.Â
