I need to stop slacking off from updating...

I'm too lazy to write my usual mile-long recap of what's been happening lately, so I'll try to keep it short...

First of all, my school messed up and didn't give me chorus. Well, technically, they couldn't, because I had multi-variable calculus that period, and there's only one class of us. Ugh! What kind of moron schedules one-period classes at

The thing about all those young girls singing, is that most of them will probably lose some of their high notes when they hit puberty. Cause let's face it, for most people, it's pretty easy to hit the high notes when your voice hasn't changed(Just watch that video of the little boy singing the Queen of the Night aria), but once it does it takes a lot of training in order to keep them. One of the things people love about these "prodigies" is that their talent seems so natural, well at that age it kind of is. Just my two cents heh.

Her high notes are nice...but so wrong for opera, no? Most of the "prodigies" can "hit the high notes" but I think most of them do it wrong. And then people are like, "I hate opera but OMG THIS IS BEAUTIFUL." -.-;

I wouldn't call either of those girls 'opera singers.' It takes years to become a professional opera singer, hence most of them being in their 40s and 50s. All those girls have going for them is a vibrato and they can sing high: anyone can achieve that in a year's worth of classes. It's stupid to make them famous so young, because they will grow up, and their voices will change. You can't even compare how they sing to Sumi Jo. They're not opera singers.

I hate how frugal people are with the term 'opera singer.' Like I said, it can take some people 15-20 years to be at a level that allows them to perform Mozart and other composers. It takes that long because you have to have true talent, and composers like Mozart made their music so difficult because they didn't want Joe Schmoe the 12-year-old singing it.

I think you do have to dissect cadavers in med school. I don't know why because not all areas of medecine involve the actual body (like psychiatry) but i guess they do it because of the anatomy...

I've been looking into a double major thing too (senior to senior and all) and thje audition process is frustrating. All the places I've been looking into require piano even if you are majoring in vocals and you need theory to boot. My 4 years of piano and 2 and half years of classical voice probably won't stack up...

But good luck with all the essays you have to write!! And good luck with the Doll Song too!!

Omg, are you kidding me? The conservatories are going to laugh in my face! I only have ONE year of voice, and no piano! Arg. I guess I should just apply for the hell of it, but...

Thanks :]! I'm so lazy though...the essays are due soon x.X;

But we do have hope. I have a friend who has no music training whatsoever, and got into a really good conservatory with a scholarship. You're talented enough. You can do it!!!

[ichi_chan0326]

Wow! That IS a message of hope XD!! I'm definitely gonna give it a shot then.

Good luck to us ;D!

"Youngest Opera Singer"?

*HEADDESK*

Just because you butcher well-known operas does NOT make you an opera singer! WHAT do I have to do to get this into the general public's head?!?!?!
