Thread Name: Exactly what's a true contralto?
Subject: RE: Tech: Exactly what's a true contralto?
Wow, Alice, thanks for all that useful info! I've saved it to disc for reference. In fact I feel happiest and most natural (and sound best) singing in the tenor range, which just seems to come easily to me, though it means pitching songs lower than women usually like to. Obviously, we're not talking opera here, though I've put in time filling out the tenor sections of various choirs, which suits me FAR better than the alto line.


I always thought I was a bit of a freak until I heard the (???)Johnny Cash song, "Papa Sang Bass, Mama Sang Tenor".
