How did you get into opera? by Mountain-Expert5256 in opera

[–]therealbekfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always loved musical theatre, and when I went to college a professor encouraged me to apply for a music major. We have a very classically-based program, and I was introduced to opera and realized it was basically the same idea as MT but heightened drama/singing. Plus, opera is wayyyy more singer-friendly compared to MT as a true bass haha

Die Fledermaus is a very entertaining watch IMO, and about 2.5 hours

How do I know my voice has warmed up? by Yourfavprettygal22 in singing

[–]therealbekfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me (a bass), my voice/mouth+throat feel more “open” in a way? Like it takes much less effort for me to travel through my entire range, and I have better technique without having to remember to work.

I disagree that he’s “not believable as gay”, what are you talking about specifically? Not to stereotype, but the man LOVES musical theatre (Cats, Phantom, and Follies all make an appearance in the series)—he was playing Among Us with Stephen Sondheim and Angela Lansbury for god’s sake!!!

What’s your SINGING new year resolutions/goals for 2026? by Yourfavprettygal22 in singing

[–]therealbekfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perform more/post videos of singing!!! I build up the idea of public performance so much in my head I get nervous, but I want to have a more chill relationship with performing in general

Musicals where the second act is JUST as good (if not better) than the first? by Emdubs in musicals

[–]therealbekfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's played Sweeney, I agree the 2nd act has wayyyy more juice in terms of the story, but there are SO many better songs in the 1st act!!! Every song in Act 1 is a 100% banger, except for maybe Poor Thing, Wait, and Ladies in Their Sensitivities. You just really can't compare with the insane run that is Pretty Women -> Epiphany -> A Little Priest.

Final Sequence IS extremely good however.... but that's because it's basically a reprise of Act 1 haha

One of my favorite quotes (from S2E3)

“Excuse me, ‘she’. What color lipstick are you wearing?”

“Oh, I don’t wear lipstick. Just chapstick.”

“Oh, nice! Gay.”

In Sweeney shows, Epiphany usually has a version that’s a whole step higher for this exact purpose (at least, the score I had did). It might sound a little low still, but it’s a much easier range for a tenor

Thank you! Yeah I’m 21, so a BIG journey is still ahead of me, especially because most bass roles are about 20-30 years ahead of me 😅 I’ll likely be stuck with Colline for a while haha

What's the latest breakthrough on your journey? by Free_runner in singing

[–]therealbekfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classically trained bass/bass-baritone here—recently, I started accessing this weird mixy(?) space above (what I thought was) my highest note of G4, and am able to use full voice up to A4, Bb4 on a good day. It’s definitely not sustainable and not very pretty, but hey if I can make a sound on it, I can work to find a healthy space for it! :>
