Question:

I think I'm an alto but I want to be a soprano. I have a voice teacher. Any extra pointers?

I'm 12, btw. I think I'm an alto but I'm not sure, but I want to be a soprano. Any extra pointers?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Your voice is still growing and changing - don't peg yourself any particular range just yet!

Another pointer - don't stress your voice by trying to attain notes that are out of your range. If you have to strain to reach a note it is too high (or low) for you. Placing consistent strain on your vocal cords will damage your voice - and often the damage is permanent. Young voices are delicate - and it is very easy to damage them!

Listen to your voice teacher and, if you have a good one, you will go as far as your voice can take you. We like to build our students' ranges, but we good ones are not going to do anything that will cause damage to your voice.
