Sabrina and Jessica,

Thanks for your responses. I have another question for you and the other
listers: I've been studying voice with a certain discipline for four months. I
can sing pretty comfortable from F bellow middle C up to high C#. My voice
teacher has classified my voice as a lyric spinto soprano.
What's the requirement for (dramatic) coloratura. Is that just a matter of
expanding one's range?
Once I heard that the lyric spinto repertoire is the most envied one. Why?
Another one: what are the so called "formants"? How does a person adjust the
vowel production to these formants?

Cheers,

Carla
