Hi, Genie.

Colortura is a word for a high soprano who sings elaborate lines with lots of fancy features. A can name only one: Lily Pons

If you go to YouTube and search for 'Lily Pons' you can hear her coloratura performances.

'Melisma' means that a person sings more than one note on a syllable. Anybody can do it.
