I'm actually quite good on my high notes as seen from a 2002 private performance of the Phantom of the Opera song at my school for the drama club. ^_~ This is an old recording anyways and I've gotten better....much better, since then.
Yay for lots of practice.
I am slightly indifferent towards it. I like it enough, but not to the point where I am a Phan.

 >> Only the blackest of hearts
Yeah, I love the idea - but most of the times I see it, I didn't like it - but I loved the movie... and yeah, singing was never my priority in the arts - I am more into writing and stage craft/theater - but I dabble in singing, and playing the piano (also thinking of taking up violin, or some other stringed instrument, in the future). I used to play the clarinet, but I have bad asthma (which also deters somewhat from my singing capabilities) and can't really play for any long amount of time, unless the song happens to have a break inbetween every three notes or so.

Yes, the idea was rather lovely and romantic (although I prefer the original in all of its utter creepiness). The movie made me laugh--mainly for the fact that I incorporated a bit of it into my own story...So I can never take PotO seriously anymore. Especially the movie version...
I went to a fine arts school for 12 years...I had to learn everything. Singing and acting were my favorites though...much more than instrumental classes were. Art's a close second with writing right after it...
That's too bad about the asthma...maybe if you learned how to control it through breathing exercises? I know I'm a bit asthmatic and I can manage the final note in Phantom of the Opera without having to gasp afterwards after doing breathing exercises.

Yeah, it's annoying - but what can you do, you know? Anyway - as you are a new member, may I suggest you check out the Anime/Manga/Video Game forums while you are here - it's like... mostly just the mods who are posting there.

>> Only the blackest of heartsAn ocarina, eh? Back when I had the lung power - I tried playing that a few times, but I was never much of a person for flute instruments... so I stuck to my clarinets... although now I can't do anything in the Wind Instrument department, so I stick to piano and vocals... although I would love to learn drums, guitar, and violen.
*cackles* You have an excellent taste in Broadway shows... Wicked and RENT are two of my faves - Phantom of the Opera is pretty fun - you'll come to learn, through experience, why I might like Jekyll and Hyde, same goes for La Cage aux Folles - you can probably tell (since I named the forums) that I like Chicago to some degree - Beauty and the Beast was probably the first Broadway show I saw (on Broadway, anyway) - and... I completly adore Producers... me and my stage friends have a habit of breaking out into dance everytime somebody says Guten Tag (which is a lot, as it is "Language Week" at our school) Can feel the purest of love <<

Genre: Classical, old school rock, 90s rock, punk, ska, JRock
Bands/Singers: My playlist goes from the Berlin Philharmonic to David Bowie to XJapan to Zelda OST to stuff no one has ever heard of, and you want me to pick a favorite?!
Broadway Shows: I hope this includes opera, 'cause Mozart's The Magic Flute was really fun to play pit. Though The Scarlet Pimpernel was pretty damned funny.
Instruments: Oh lord... My primary is violin, currently minoring in viola, have minored in piano, midly versed in cello, bass (both upright and electric), saxophone, flute, trumpet, trombone, percussion (just not drumset... I lack the coordination for that), and for some odd reason I also teaching middle school chorus. *scratches head*
I feel like a foreigner for suddenly posting, not living in NY and all. But D.C. is a hop, skip, and a jump away from my little college town nestled in Apple Country.

Bands/Singers: Emilie Autumn, Nightwish, Metallica, Apocalyptica (they make metal using only cellos. Now that is awesome)Apocalyptica is an awesome band. They go to prove that orch dorks (like myself) can actually be cool at times. The sounds they manage to bring out of their cellos (and headbang at the same time) simply blows my mind... the dark tones are so appropriate for Metallica, and even for their original material. *rocks out to Domination*

>> Only the blackest of heartsWe all get "favorite" issues - and despite living amazingly close to Broadway, I am probably going to go to Washington DC more times in my life then I am Broadway... and I am probably going to be living in Vancouver within a couple years. Anyway, lovely collection of instruments there - cellos are awesome. Can feel the purest of love <<
