I remember at the age of, and I'll say this, 10 and a half, 11, I had a natural boy soprano.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a boy soprano. I had a natural kind of voice and then trained it after my voice changed.
Shortly after this I was made a member of the boys' choir, it being found that I possessed a clear, strong soprano voice. I enjoyed the singing very much.
I was champion soprano of Sussex when I was 16!
My singing voice had rescued me from the scene I was in at school - I was an unpopular, bookish kid who had an indeterminate ethnic background. I became fascinated with women sopranos because they had a future that I didn't as a singer.
Ever since I was a kid, I might have been eleven or twelve. I'd be telling anyone who would listen that when I grew up, I wanted to be an artist.
When I was teeny tiny, I definitely had a voice that didn't quite match the way I looked at five.
I was 6, and I was in the opera 'Carmen.' My dad sang opera and got me into the children's chorus. I was super fat at the time and didn't make eye contact with anyone. I knew I loved acting ever since.
I started playing the guitar and singing at about 11 or 12.
When I started performing in public, I was probably around 10 or 11.
When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.
