I spent my entire adolescence in opera training. Which did wonders for my popularity, I'm sure you can imagine. I almost became an opera singer, but I just... meh. Completely lost interest a year or two after graduating. I sound a lot like Joan Sutherland or June Anderson.
Most high school choirs seem to be: girls who don't go too offkey in upper ranges go to soprano, girls who can barely hold a tune and have a 5-note range go to alto. There are sopranos who can't sing (argh, i used to have to stand next to them), and altos who can, but the arbitrary division seems to be that the people who have developed a range go into soprano and the people who haven't go into alto.
and yep, I know "Nel Cor Piu..."! "Mi pizzichi, mi stuzzichi! Mi pungichi, mi mastichi! Che cosa e questo ahime! Pieta, pieta! pieta!" But the song I was always better at from that particular book was, um, "Se tu m'ami." It's really flirty. It's about a girl telling the simple shepherd boy who's in love with her that, well, he's cute and all, but he's not the ONLY cute boy out there, and...
