I can spot a musical type. I can tell by looking at a woman whether she is a contralto or a soprano.
I'm a lyric soprano. I can try to step outside that and do different kind of singing, but it's not something I can sustain over the long haul, and what is good for your voice is good for your career.
There're lots of musicians in my family, too. My mother sings incredibly well. I've got to make a record with my mother's voice on it. She sings a lyric soprano. We do the opposite. I'm a baritone. She's a star singer in her church. She always does her solo.
I'd always had this hankering to try some opera.
Very few opera singers in history have been able to cross into popular music.
I love to sing. I'm a soprano.
An operatic voice is like no other.
I sang opera for over four years when I was younger.
I would love to sing opera.
When I got into college, I got into operatic vocalists, like Leontyne Price.
Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me.
Let's be clear: I love singing at the Met.
