Hey, I am 19 and have spent the last year training at the Conservatorium in classical voice. However I want to make the change into my true love - musical theatre and hence audition for a BA of Musical Theatre. However the only advice I can get from my parents etc, is that operetta and more operatic songs like "I hate men" in the words of my mother "show of my voice". Having a very high, big soprano voice - can I get away with singing Gilbert and Sullivan? I can sing pure MT but it tends to be the more operatic romantic lead stuff. Please Help me!

Thats exactly what i was getting at....

If you try and sing the notes you may not reach them. Whereas if you are firmly in the world and your circumstances are clear you will hit the notes without focusing on that. Of course you need to get the notes but they will come by being real. Paul Mclaughlin.
