Thanks In advance Also known as mezzo-soprano ((meaning "medium" or "middle" "soprano" in Italian), It is a female voice similar in range to a soprano, but with a darker color and the ability to extend the range lower than a regular soprano. A mezzo's range usually extends from the A below middle C to the A two octaves above. In the lower and upper extremes, some mezzo-sopranos may extend down to the G below middle C (G3) and as high as "high C" (C6). In general mezzos are broken down into three categories: Coloratura mezzo-sopranos, Lyric mezzo-soprano, and Dramatic mezzo-sopranos. tooth fairy is dead accurate, so all i have left to say is---------------- BEL CANTO!!!!! |
