Posted: 7/12/04 at 1:12pmyou guys, I know that in choir there are such things as Altos, 2nd altos, 2nd sopranos, etc (I was in the All-State Choir as a Bass I).....but in theatre, women are usually either, Sopranos, Mezzos, and/or Belters.... Just a terminology thing...

jonartdesigns: I know how you feel, I'm a 16 year old Baritone, and they don't exactly make roles for us in musicals today, if you're a guy you have to be able to sing into the stratosphere. If your a baritone you gotta have a pretty flexible range these days. So I'm streching all of my picks.
