It’s very frustrating when you want your voice to do
something that it won’t do. I’m an alto, so it’s frustrating when I want to
sing a high note in my chest voice but I can’t simply because of my range. I
have a very dark voice. I am not a bright singer. I used to be, but as my voice
evolved over time, it’s finding its true spot in the richer sounding category.
There will be things that I have to do that require my voice to sound brighter,
or require me to remove most of the vibrato, creating a smoother sound. This is
hard for me to do. I guess it depends on what it is. But it’s very comfortable
for me to bring a dark sound to whatever I’m singing.
People say
“Oh your voice is your voice, don’t change it for a particular type of music.”
This is true in some ways. But I think part of the definition of a talented singer
is being able to change and shape your voice to fit different types and styles
of music. I don’t know maybe I’m wrong. But I need to work on being able to
change my voice to fit different styles, while still keeping my own sound, and
while still sounding good.
