[musictlk] choir question

[Smith, Pauline L]

I am singing soprano in my church's choir.  I have always sung alto in other choirs.  That is probably more in tune with my voice.  I can hide in mass choral things, but would never sing a solo with a lot of high soprano notes.  People assume I would sing female tenor because of my heavy speaking voice.  No one has ever suggested I sing that part.  I'll have to agree with Rob and others on the list.  One must sing in the range that is most comfortable.

Yeah that probably has a lot to do with it.  Luckily, I was never forced into singing a specific part.  I was offered the chance, but I just did not feel comfortable, so the director left it at that.  He wanted me to sing soprano, but the soprano part goes really high sometimes in this choir, so I said no thank you and I would prefer to sing alto.  If I had to sing soprano because there weren't enough, I probably would drop the choir.  I have the range for the alto 2 part, so that's why I chose it.
