Ok so here’s my problem:

My voice is strong when I sing low, HOWEVER I can’t sing TOO low. I can sing pretty high but my voice gets quieter and more breathy. I want to be able to sing louder when singing higher without strain (sorry if that didn’t make too much sense! Anyways nice video!)

I love the Italian arias and composers. I spent a decade learning a bunch of songs and arias that I would sing for about another 10 years. Then I heard and learned 2 French arias that I really liked. I was amazed how the language seem to fit my voice and technique. Don't really know why, but the placement seems to fit my voice better. I am not professionally trained, although I have been paid to sing over the last 20 years as a hobby. Opera for ever!
