OMCristine asked: I can sing either mezzo and soprano, but I prefer soprano. Any suggestions? It HAS to be an art song, not too popular, not a spiritual, and not from any kind of opera, operetta, musical, etc.
Do NOT bother answering if you are just going to be presumptuous, unhelpful, and rude.
No, I am not arrogant and delusional. I know the talent I have and I know what I can work with. I made it clear in my application essay what I was capable of, as well as my MANY weaknesses. The college I’m applying to doesn’t require any prior vocal training, which is very helpful to me because of all the extenuating circumstances I’ve had to go through in my life.
I am not in way over my head, I know that I am up against hundreds of kids, both with and without prior training, and I am FULLY aware that there is a big chance I won’t get accepted. However, the school does say so on the site that they are looking for raw talent that has potential, and believe me, that is one thing I have in my favor. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have applied. I asked for songs that AREN’T arias is because I already know more than enough, but they require an aria AND an art song. So next time, instead of assuming, FIND OUT.
Oh, and for those of you who actually did help, thank you.
