Hello all,
I am a newcomer to this mailing list and got the discussion about chest
and head register on the way... I would just like to ask a related
question about this subject.
For years, I was considered to be a mezzo-alto because I used to sing
with my voice completely down (in the throat?), which was terribly
tiring. The voice lacked of brilliance and power. Now I am working on my
head voice and things are much better (less tiring, more power and
brilliance...). My teacher still cannot say if I am mezzo or soprano.
However, he says that I have no chest voice. I can go down very low
still maintaining a head voice, but it lacks power. Also, every time I
try to sing in what I think is a chest register, my voice falls again in
the throat (large and unfocused sound).
Could somebody please tell me if it is possible that someaone does not
have a chest register? Or give me some explanation about this problem?
And, could someone explain me what "fach" exactly means? I could not
find the word in my "American heritage" and as you certainly noticed, I
am not a native English speaker.
Thank you all
Marcia
