Subject: RE: What type of voice?
Blackcatter, even a few lessons can help. A lot of singing techers are happy to see you less often than the traditional once a week. If you can only afford to go once a month or something, most teachers are happy to give you a practice schedule to reflect this. You may not proceed as fast as you would if you went once a week, but frankly, as with any instrument, it's the practice that really counts.
You may also suffer a shock, learning proper singing techniques and constant practice can change your range considerably. It may not be upwards however! As KB has noticed, your 'breaks' can move around constantly. As I haven't sung properly since last autumn, I'm singing fairly easily at the high end of Alto and I'm not hitting the break I normally get about 'A' on the stave, that I get when I'm well practiced. The practice, however, allows me to sing through the break with out sounding like a strangled cat.
I may go mad meself and book a few lesson this spring........mmmmm
