I am a 'serious' amateur/very occasionally professional chorister
(soprano) with quite a lot of experience of solo work in amateur
musical theatre and have been taking singing lessons for about 5
years with a lyric soprano. However my voice seems to be remarkably
resistent to making any kind of operatic sound - even my teacher is
surprised that nothing is happening yet. I would like to ask any of
you experts who started off with a 'baby' voice what it was that
happened when you felt you were making this vital progression. I
don't know if my problem is pushing too much, too little support (ie
not enough breath), the sound being too far back or what - i suspect
all of these things. What is the main difference beween an operatic
sound and a musical theatre sound ? I am 39 by the way so no spring
chicken, just started late !
