Escamillo Help please, I want to sing (106* d) RE: Help please, I want to sing 05 Sep 08


My experience in singing:
- At folk ensambles at age of 14-20
- With friends at age 14-30
- At 30 listened to Opera singers, then shut up for almost 20 years
- At the parent´s choir in my children´s school
- Attended serious classes for 3 years
- Since 1998: at the main Argentina Opera House (Colon Theatre, in the choir) and in many small stages as soloist, doing old jazz, spirituals, traditionals, canzonetta, ...

Those years of silence ended up when I took the decision of testing my voice with a classical teacher.

I can´t tell if you can sing or not, probably yes, but PLEASE don´t be afraid of classical teachers. They will not force you to sing in a classical style, they will help you FIND your voice and make good use of it, regardless the kind of songs you choose.

For example, 99% of people who begin to sing, try their voices in a very low pitch (deep basses) and think that their voices are very limited. Most probably, when you take classes, you will find that the best pitch for you is much higher. You can´t do this without the help of a teacher. Don´t get scared, go to a classical teacher who accepts beginners.
