I HATE when I apply for stuff and they ask me my preferred pronouns or gender on the application process bc it's like. Are you transphobic and using this as a filter for people with weird pronouns and I need to lie to you right now, am I going to lie and then get accepted and constantly misgendered regardless of whether you would have been chill about it or not bc of what I put on this app, am I literally freaking out for no reason right now
#just putting she/her like. look at me I'm so normal. I'm soooo cisgender#eughhh#not like i can lie about my agab on an application where i also habe to put 'mezzo-soprano' lol#i talk

give me mezzos or give me death.
well maybe not death but severe annoyance in the amount of productions casting tenors/countertenors in roles that were written for mezzos or sopranos.
#this Operablr Pride Month has been a little rough as far as the research goes#i love discovering all the new-to-me operas people suggested#but wow it is hard to find info on the older baroque stuff#and yeah i know baroque castrati roles are a free for all but i still do prefer mezzos#and BESIDES that any roles that was ACTUALLY WRITTEN BY THE COMPOSER TO BE PERFORMED BY AN ACTUAL MEZZO OR SOPRANO#SHOULD BE SUNG BY A MEZZO OR SOPRANO!!#opera is so gay but the opera production world is so full of homophobes -_-#anyway that's how i'm doing how have y'all been

contraltos and countertenors are genuinely the backbone of the music industry
#contralto is the word for a woman with a particularly deep singing voice right? i've heard it can also be used#interchangeably with alto but i think they're mostly referred to differently#anyways i love you alison moyet i love you roger taylor i love you men who sound like mezzo-sopranos#and women who sound like tenors i love youuu your voices are so fucking cool#well i'm not sure if roger taylor's actually a countertenor. he's pretty damn close though#from what i've been able to find out

was told my songsona would be Bust Your Kneecaps because it's "threatening yet feminine." I'm flattered by the first bit, but, the second? ...oi!!!
#maybe it's because of the skirts/tunics/dresses i own. what can i say? i like to cover my ass#i have got to get butch-ier.#...though idk. i dont feel like changing my wardrobe. and i'm quite comfortable staying as a mezzo-soprano.#shitpost

gd i have the weirdest set of skills when it comes to music
#sasha speaks#it took me years to learn how to do vibrato. but i picked up circular breathing like it was second nature without even thinking abt it#i haven't taken a piano lesson in years and my actual technique is probably garbage. but my sightreading game is ridiculous#and i can accompany singers in a musical or operetta rehearsal at the drop of a hat#i've never really had formal voice training but i can sing anything you want from high baritone to mezzo/low soprano#but i have the most awkward break in my voice at exactly the strongest point of most mezzos'...#it's weird. i'm a weirdo etc

#Music#Westerns#The Good the Bad and the Ugly#Sergio Leone#Ennio Morricone#*fascinated*#The “Wah Wah Lady” as so called in YouTube comments is Tuva Semmingsen a Norwegian mezzo-soprano and coloratura#I'm especially fascinated by her voice#And now I wonder if “wololololol waw waw waw ayayayayaya waw waw waw” is the new “esos son rebook o son nike”

I'm definitely going to start working on this one, along with "Who Knew" by P!nk. Starting today. I had other projects but these two songs fit my mood much better than the other rock/metal songs I had in mind.
Louder, louder The voices in my head Whispers taunting All the things you said Faster the days go by and I'm still Stuck in this moment of wanting you here Time In the blink of an eye You held my hand, you held me tight Now you're gone And I'm still crying Shocked, broken I'm dying inside Where are you? I need you Don't leave me here on my own Speak to me Be near me I can't survive unless I know you're with me Shadows linger Only to my eye I see you, I feel you Don't leave my side It's not fair Just when I found my world They took you, they broke you, they tore out your heart I miss you, you hurt me You left with a smile Mistaken, your sadness Was hiding inside Now all that's left Are the pieces to find The mystery you kept The soul behind a guise Where are you I need you Don't leave me here on my own Speak to me Be near me I can't survive unless I know you're with me Why did you go? All these questions run through my mind I wish I couldn't feel at all Let me be numb I'm starting to fall Where are you? I need you Don't leave me here on my own Speak to me Be near me I can't survive unless I know you're with me Where are you? Where are you? You were smiling... You were smiling... You were smiling...

actually it is very cool and sexy of me to move songs for sopranos so far down the octave they're in an alto range hee hee
#I do this frequently for no one else and the ballad of jane doe#I also like doing it for songs drom the phantom of the opera#it's really fun to sing these songs i like but at the very bottom of my range instead of straining to reach the top#I'm a mezzo soprano on the relatively middling end#but I find it easier to sing in my lower range#more ppl should just pitch songs down it's fun

My mom only asked that I sing for her birthday so I sang musical numbers for an hour after doing a few arias and there is truly no ego boost like your mom crying because she loves your voice so much.
I may be rusty but I've still got it enough that my sister insisted she be on face time for the arias and my grandma made my mom put her on speakerphone to listen LMAO.
I still got her a gift but it was definitely anti climatic compared to her reaction to me fucking around with some songs.
#she was like 'i should've bought some flowers' like mom its YOUR birthday you should've done NOTHING OF THE SORT#i actually did full length vocal warms up for the first time in a while#usually i just half ass it and then sing it up#RIP to my range though but its too hard to keep that shit up and I'm still comfortable a mezzo soprano
