My vocal style is called bel canto, which is an old Italian vocal style going back hundreds of years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My style in Italian is very old-style.
Singing bel canto is like walking on a tightrope - especially with a larger voice like mine.
When I was very young, I started trying to sing like the great tenor Mario Lanza; my family used to play his records. We all learn best by imitating others.
I had been in a professional boys' choir, and as a boy soprano, you're aware that your voice has an expiration date.
I think my style as far as vocal delivery and even down to the pronunciation of certain words is so deliberate.
Everyone thinks I'm singing falsetto, but that's my normal singing voice.
I know I'm not a great singer. But I love to sing and I like to use my voice in different ways.
A lot of my male vocal influences are British - people like David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.
My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.
I was a boy soprano. I had a natural kind of voice and then trained it after my voice changed.
