My voice EXPLODED yesterday.
I mean good explosion. I found a spot that I'd never found before in my voice. I was SO loud I felt like I could fill up an opera house. Seriously. I had my rehearsal with Connie (accompanist) and I got to my high A in the Granados, and you know when you're watching a live marching band and your chest shakes because of the bass drum? I felt that from my voice, except the vibration was smaller because it was a high A, but still. I felt like Callas or something. I love Callas. :)
I KNOW there's a spinto in me. I feel it. Singing like that yesterday (AND today) didn't hurt me one bit. It felt amazing.
AND I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID ABOUT PAVAROTTI BEING OVERRATED! Did anyone see the Olympic ceremony last night?? I got choked up. I watched it again and cried like a baby. He didn't have that pinchy sound that makes me say he's overrated, he had a full, soulful, AMAZING sound.
And it was so awesome. Somejock athlete, from America no less, when they were applauding, goes "YOU DA MAN!!!!!
That made my day. Sports people. From AMERICA. Completely appreciating opera.
