<p>As the mother of a soprano, how many times have we heard that sopranos are a “dime a dozen.” When it comes to college auditions and job auditions, the soprano line will always be the longest. It is just harder to distinguish yourself as a soprano. Of course, there are unique voices within the soprano range, but generally, being a mezzo or a contralto opens more doors - including trouser roles. It doesn’t matter how high you can sing - it is more important to sing well, freely and in good health in your range. High notes are highly exagerated.</p>
