I feel the same. How can I learn classical singing without loosing my own natural sound? I feel like the current modern style makes me cut off my own body feeling of creating a sound and thus my genuine emotions with are conected this "sound production" so that it sounds like "right classical music". Maybe it's a modern European thing? It's a real struggle to me.

@@SelbstWert-tw9zu I am very surprised and grateful for your response. You have a very good voice, but your current singing technique seems to be based on incorrect habits, as if trying to produce a specific sound effect, resonance, or vibrato. The breath distribution in your throat, mouth, nasal cavity, hard palate, etc., is excessive, and the middle register is too high and needs to be lowered. The quality of the high notes for a soprano is ultimately determined by abdominal breath support. Similarly, with a good mezzo-soprano or soprano, you might feel their pitch is similar to yours, but their voice truly resonates from the abdomen. Tetrazzini, Ponselle, Farrell, and Cerquetti all had a sense that a mezzo-soprano must sing from the abdomen, or else the abdominal breath support for the high notes will be lost, making the high notes lack penetration. How much does abdominal breath expansion affect the ability to sing high notes? They knew this beforehand, and this sense is very important. Your vocal talent is excellent, and with the right technique, you could surpass any soprano. What you currently lack are the lower chest and abdominal spaces. Without space, breath cannot be stored; advanced technique involves compressing the breath and storing it in the abdomen. High notes should not involve effort in the mouth, nasal cavity, mask, forehead, or other facial areas; the face needs to be completely relaxed. Tebaldi often used facial expressions to control volume, which is incorrect, unstable, and unnatural. Volume control is always about breath quantity and pressure. Miss, you are very intelligent and can sense your issues. Don’t worry, you will never lose your natural voice. Ask yourself daily if you have made progress. Caruso never allowed himself to go two days without improvement. I look forward to your progress. Correct it quickly. I have a friend who watched my channel and regretted realizing his mistakes too late. You are still young, and there’s time. Classical music today is largely incorrect worldwide. You can do it correctly. I hope to communicate with you about singing technique in the future. I recommend listening to my video with four people [link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqfNo6mJr8qBgrM] and compare their voices to yours to understand why they are different.

Hey the score is on IMSLP

You can’t imagine how much this means to me 🫶🏻
