Hee, yes, I am; I've had two different music teachers/choral directors tell me I'm either a contralto or a very odd mezzo-soprano. I've got a pretty good range, but I prefer singing alto parts.

Hee, it's hard to narrow it down to just one: Tosca, L'Elisir D'Amore, Parsifal, The Marriage of Figaro, La Boheme... I could go on and on!

First time I've heard your voice

I have to admit, you sound different to how I expected, although this is probably because I'm rubbish when it comes to accents. You've got quite a nice accent, as far as American accents go anyway. Very nicely spoken and with less rambling that I would've done.

Hee, I'm told my accent is a Boston accent, though I live outside the city proper, and there's even odd variations of it. True story: my dad and I were in New York City, and a park ranger at the Statue of Liberty asked us what part of England we were from since our English was so good.

I think that Ranger needs his hearing testing. To me you sounded distinctly American. It wouldn't be the first time someone's got their accents mixed up mind you. It happens to people from my neck of the woods all the time. Usually people think we're from Newcastle (the home of the very distinctive 'geordie' accent), despite the fact that to us (and Geordies) the two accents are completely different (according to a Geordie friend of my cousin's, we sound like farmers, whatever that means). I also had someone ask if I was Irish once. I'm still a bit mystified about that one. I'm not really sure how to describe my accent, probably because I'm too used to hearing it. There are a few noticable local variants though, the most well known one being more or less the local version of a 'country bumpkin' accent (and the butt of many a joke) which sort of mushes 'to' and 'the' together and then clips it down to the 't'. Example: "I'm goin' t' shop" (in my accent, it'd be more like 'I'm going t' the shops'). Eh, I'm waffling again aren't I?
