A true contralto is a woman who, after a couple of years of study, has been recommended to sing contralto by a competent classical voice teacher ! :) :)

I'm so glad to find these conversations, once more learn something from Alice, and see the general attention that this subject receives in a community of folk singers. A great benefit for all.
