Different people are born with different singing voices. How come some people can naturally sing opera without any vocal lessons but many people cannot sing opera?
Is opera singing a natural gift or is it something that people without the gift can achieve if they had long term intensive vocal lessons and training in order to get that opera voice?
I don’t have an opera voice. i can sing in tune but cannot sing as Broadway performers do. I would love to learn to sing opera well but somehow i think that no amount of vocal lessons for me will achieve that. This goes the same for Broadway singing. Am i wrong?
What do you think?
It is definitely a combination of both. It helps if you can sing on tune and you take lessons. Some people who can’t sing on pitch can start to sing correctly with lessons. However, there are those people who just try and try but cannot sing on pitch.
Opera and Musical theatre voices are different. Usually, musical theatre performers belt a lot more than people in the opera.
It’s quite complicated, but usually if you can already sing in tune, you can learn how to sing Opera and/or musical theatre.
In addition, it also depends on what your range is and what type of voice you have. Are you an alto? mezzo-soprano? soprano?
You can find out all of this stuff from a teacher. Good luck!
