▲ 20 r/opera
do I really have to ‘sell’ myself as a mezzo to get gigs after college?
contralto & still in school. baroque opera is my specialty. not even close to being done, still chipping away at my associates but have been singing 4 years, solo for 3. my voice has developed significantly once I turned 24, and am hoping by 25 it’ll get even better.
but do I really have to call myself a mezzo to get more gigs? people already hear right through that.
are non baroque people really so contralto averse? I mean I guess I could be a witch or an old lady in romantic arias. dipping my toes into Carmen too.
