Found this great forum a few days ago and have been reading tons of threads and now decided to make one for myself.
I will be completing my B. Mus. in Classical Voice this upcoming year (May 2010) and want to continue onto a MM program in Voice/Opera. I currently go to school in NY but am open to schools pretty much anywhere in the US.
Here are my personal details: I came into my undergrad as a baritone singing improperly. My first year was all about making the transition to a tenor, so I guess I can say I've been a tenor for about two and a half years now. I know it's technically too early to label myself, but...light lyric tenor voice is how I would classify myself.
Overall my technique is pretty good, but I still suffer from some resonance problems (old baritone habits), occasional lack of support and some tension. Hence, I'd love to work with a teacher/in a program where I can still build and solidify technique in addition to all the other aspects of the program.
I'm really only familiar some of the "major conservatories", but not necessarily specifics and/or people, so any info I can get will be much appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. Whether or not this actually matters for any programs, I'm young for my age since I'm a December baby...I'll be turning 21 during my final year of undergrad and I feel like my age is definitely playing a huge role in my vocal maturity and progress
