My passagio points are around C/C# and F/F# and I have been able to increasingly sing tenor arias in my practice and vocalize all the way up to a Eb on a good day (although its not pretty). <br /><br />I know that I'm not a lyric tenor anything I just feel like it's getting harder and harder to sing Baritone rep and I know that at such a young age one shouldn't classify their voice type. My question is based what I've told you, is there any chance that I could become a Tenor or dramatic Tenor one day? What would be your advice? Keep singing high Baritone rep or maybe try some low Tenor art songs? How long does a voice take to mature into what it will become? I appreciate any advice you can give to me at such a young age in this life long process that I'm about to go through.<br /><br />Thanks againWilliam Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09038827544231427345noreply@blogger.com
