[geeky choir singer post] I'm a mezzo-soprano - one of the few in my school jazz choir. Essentially, a mezzo soprano is an alto with a bigger range; we can go as low as a normal alto but get much higher, into the soprano range. Usually, any decent singer can do blues/soul (you just need a certain 'feel' for the the swing rythmn and you can go with it), but the alto voice is particularly suited to it because it's female (which allows for more control than the male voice) but much deeper and richer sounding than a higher soprano, which is better suited to classical work. However, being a mezzo-soprano whilst singing jazz etc is VERY helpful, because you get the richness and mellowness that characterises the alto voice and is oh-so-important when singing the blues, without being limited to the alto-range.

Sorry, souldn't resist. I'm a music-geek.
I would LOVE to hear Anna sing, if only because I'm eternaly interested in the human voice (not to mention the fact that I'm fairly interested in anything to do with our Ms. Belknap any day of the week).
Anyway, how goes it in the Anna/Lindsay thread? Haven't been on in AGES. Anybody heard any rumours as to what wil be going on with Lindsay next series? I hope we get more interaction with Hawkes and Flack (not that I don't enjoy the banter she has with Danny, but still...) You guys think we'll get any more hints as to her 'bloody secret'?
Ooh - Oh! And! AND, my dear friends, I caught a VERY young looking Anna on a REALLY old episode of Law and Order last night (watching old tapes of it at a friend's house - she's a law and order obsessive in the same way I'm into CSI. I like to think we bring balance to each other's lives :lol: ). She wasn't in it for any length of time but it was enough to have me bouncing around the living room all hopped-up on Anna-ness. I'm going to ask if I can borrow that tape and screen-cap it for you guys. It was so weird seeing her seven-odd years younger.
