Christopher Lee sings

Dr. Midnight

Christopher Lee for double president

I've got two questions that I would be very, very thankful if someone could answer me:

1: If you want to be a baritone singer, could you start off as late as in your late teens / early 20s if you don't have any experience of it since earlier?

2: Is it possible to master several as different singing styles as rock and opera? Could you sing like Christopher did in this video and at the same time be a good rock singer?

@Kotlettbengt, #1. IDK. #2. Two words... Meat Loaf.

1: Yes
2: Yes

Okey, thanks!

I'm no vocal teacher but, I could give you what I now so far about singing. Naturally, your voice is what it is. I started singing in my late teens and i am a tenor. I don't think you can choose your voice type. I might be wrong. I guess it is better to start singing as a teen because your voice is more developed than in comparison to when you are younger. Then again, there are those who have been singing all their lives who sound brilliant.

sorry I ran out of room. As for having a voice that covers many genres, yeah, that is totally possible. I see artists do it all the time.

Thank you, it really gives me hope! Talking genres, are you referring to different styles in opera or do you mean that it is possible to be a baritone and in the same time be a rock singer?

Well yes. It really doesn't matter on your voice type ( counter tenor, tenor, baritone, bass). Just don't force yourself to sing like a baritone or bass when you are a tenor and vice versa. I took lessons, which are always a good place to start. I was not too pleased that I didn't have a baritone voice but I discovered that your voice, once it is developed, can reach different ranges. So if you are a beginner, I would focus on developing your voice. I'm glad I could help.
