turns out in professional opera, no one worth taking seriously uses the term "contralto". My teacher, a pro soprano, won't touch it. We agree my speaking voice rests at E3. we have identified my 1st passaggio as C4 and 2nd passaggio as A4. I have demonstrated great coloratura facility and have a bright timbre. Thinking I had her cornered, I said, that is not a mezzo. Which leaves only one possibility....
yes, she says in all seriousness, it is too early to tell but you may be a soprano

im like, but no soprano on earth sounds like me. no mezzo on earth sounds like me.
she says yes, you have a very unique, very rare instrument.
...like a golden age soprano!
these people will invent any reason to avoid saying the c word
@Xibanya bitten by a contralto as a child and now they have a fear of them
I hope I don't sound like a creep, but there's something deeply appealing about these videos you make.
@Xibanya can't help but notice that the Italian Wikipedia article on the contralto is huge and has dozens of references and the English one is barely a few short paragraphs 🤔
