i feel like i'm filling out a personals ad
hehe. "i like long walks on the beach and..." ;) erm, actually I don't. But I do like singing opera, learning languages, doing circus arts, photography, organizing everything I can get my hands on, and taking my clothes off to Latin dance music and Matchbox Twenty songs for money.
Hmm what else...I just turned 23 (yikes! :O ) and am doing a BS in Physiology/Exercise Science. I'm a citizen of Italy and the US, even though I'm 3/4 Romanian. I guess I got the vagabond gene from my ancestors.
One of these days I want to go on to grad school for physiotherapy...but first I want to take some freaking TIME OFF from school! ;D I want to spend at least a few years studying circus arts full-time and take a stab at doing it professionally while I'm still young enough (and crazy enough)!
But right now, you can find me in a club in Baltimore, shaking my ass to Santana, monkeying around on poles, and milking the cute-foreign-girl routine for all it's worth. Or you might find me shopping at IKEA.

Yeah, fuck walks on the beach. Give me ice cream and WoW if you're trying to seduce me.
Soprano? Alto? Mezzo? Contralto? Tell, tell!
Anywhose, welcome! (though you've been here longer than I have)

There can be only one! *Take out sword*
Ever wonder if you're stepping beyond your normal bounds of geekiness?

Re: i feel like i'm filling out a personals ad
I'm a coloratura too! yaya for us :) But I always end up singing such ingenue roles, when I really wanna be the villian!

We have the best of both worlds! We can sing perky ingenues now, and switch to trouser roles and old hags in Baroque operas when we get old and our voices drop a bit :)
I actually don't get to use much of anything beyond a "high" C, since I decided to specialize in operetta and Baroque/early classical opera. But I still practice ungodly high scales, just in case I ever have the chance to audition for one of my dream roles. (Queen of the Night and/or Aspasia in Mozart's "Mitridate". woot.)
I'm still riding a wave of fangirl euphoria after seeing a production of "Acis and Galatea" last night...where they staged it like a circus! Galatea did trapeze work while singing arias, Acis was dressed as a mime, the stage looked like a minimalist circus tent, and the villain was a hobo-style clown who killed Acis by pushing him off a mimed tightrope. Genius!
But I was so fucking upset that I missed auditions for that! I always get that feeling whenever I see a really good opera, or a Cirque du Soleil show...it's like, hey, i can do that! Why am I sitting here in the audience! This is all sorts of wrong!

I agree! I feel the sme way sometimes, it's like, I could pull off that role :( I hate hate hate seeing shows I really love that I auditioned for and didn't get. I'm constantly critiquing..... but there's a reason for it all.
Heh, I totally want to get into more operas, but I generally do more musicl theatre, so I waste lots of my talent doing something I'm not as good at. I'm still good, but not excellent. oh welll..... I did recently do pirates o penzance, I was mabel. I loved her :) Poor wondering one is a song I wanted to perform forever!!!! I tend to do more musical theatre/operettas then actual operas, but someday....
Re: i feel like i'm filling out a personals ad
^^ w00t! Mabel seems like such a fun role. :) I'm sure you rocked it!
last time I did G&S was as Casilda...great fun. :) There's an audition for Pirates coming up here next week...but my days are being eaten up with school, tons of work and trapeze. I really, really miss singing in shows though. A LOT. I'm still taking lessons, but fuck me with a rusty fork! There's the Pirates audition, and another company I'd kill to sing with is doing Le Compte d'Ory and Abduction from the Seraglio...and I'm missing out.
