Question

Help answer this question below.

I am studying to be a opera singer. I am a coloratura, yet I can sing bass and tenor quite easily. My range is from Bflat-3 to Eflat-6. Most people think I am an alto when I speak. So would I still be considered a coloratura?

    I agree with canadianmezzo. If you have a flexible voice that can handle the coloratura, then you can call yourself a coloratura.

    I think labeling all leggiero soprano a \"coloratura\" is mistaken. It probably is easier for the leggiero than a contralto to do coloratura, but not all of them are good at it. Edita Gruberova (soprano), Vesselina Kasarova (mezzo-soprano), and Ewa Podles (contralto) are GREAT coloratura singers. So with practice any voice should be able to do the floritura.

    What voice you are probably depends more on where your passagio is... where does the voice change register? Is is comfortable singing below or above the break?
