Dear Mike and to everyone who has responded to this poor fach-less soprano. I tried this morning to make an exagerated Opera sound and was joined shortly after by a woman in the apartment below singing neapolitan-style, a barking dog and was that the faint siren of a police car……? I do feel a bit inhibited practising at home and this is probably why I am not making fast progress. Also I probably need a pushier teacher - still, i can't really expect someone else to drag it out of me can I ? My teacher by the way HAS improved my voice enormously. It may be that being more actress than singer I am shying off operatic sounds in case i can't get back to 'normal singing' (just joking) - who knows ? In acting, I like to play widely diverse characters, preferably different to my own personality, so I suppose in singing too I would like if possible to sing in different styles, but I would also like to be able to go a bit operatic when called for! Anyway I have found all your comments most useful. I love this website - it's such a mine of information. I lost it for a while then finally managed to track it down. Thanks everyone Delia May
