so, lemme start by saying i don't really know what i'm talking about, but am wondering #1 how do opera singers/broadway singers sing like that and not fatigue (i don't really fatigue but I can get a little pitchy around G#/A, and #2 if i should even be singing that A in chest or mixed voice other than once in a while. If it's something that scales upwards like in stand by me it's easy, but to stay above E for a while is not where I feel my voice belongs. I really don't think I have a "tenor" range and other than for a few power notes I would have guessed I should be in head voice by G# most of the time. Or I could have the ability and just not know it i guess... i remember in grade school our music teacher one time told me i was a bass baritone or baritone

yeah, i realize that the "stay" is in full voice. thing is, the real song's chorus sounds very powerful in part because of the perfectly mixed background chorus. I didn't feel like any type of head voice could give that kind of power recording with a camcorder so i went full, which is obviously at the upper part of my range. i could sing it softer in full voice but my voice wouldn't hold up doing that regularly. maybe in a studio or something. The other thing i was thinking about is would it sound alot better with some compression plus or minus some reverb. smooth it out ya know? or is it just the character of the note and not really the volume that makes it sound a little out of place?
