Hi, Jodie!
If you don't mind my asking, where does the break or "passagio" occur in your
voice? Age has alot to do with it! Schumann-Heink sang "Azucena" at the ripe
young age of 17 and I've always thought she must have looked like a child up
there on the stage singing that part! (Her photo in the role betrays her, too!
She looks SOOOO young!)

My voice part would best be described as a
contralto/low mezzo, and at least for me, I know that
I am working extremely hard to get a deeper, richer
quality. However, I also am only 21 and a lot of that
comes with age. I have heard many deep mezzos and
contraltos in the US, and I just wanted to share with
you that they are out there they are just harder to
find :)
