You can’t harm your voice by trying to sing too high. But you can stress it if you try to sing too low. Little boys are in a hurry for puberty and the vocal change that goes with it, but they should wait until they are really ready. The voice change happens too soon anyway, from a mom’s perspective. This comic features Paolo, Tix’s younger son. He rarely gets featured in a comic because he is a parent’s dream (as is my real son); and humour comes from screwing up. This comic is actually total fiction. (Except for the part about the anal probes — I’m a terrible parent, I know.) The Queen of the Night Aria is one of the most well known pieces of opera, but if you aren’t up on your Magic Flute (AKA Die Zauberflöte) or your Mozart, Here is a video of boy soprano Clint Van der Linde at age 15 (who now makes his living as a countertenor) singing it. There was no trace of the countertenor timbre in Clint’s voice when he recorded this, though. He was a clear true treble. Anyway Paoli never does anything halfway, for sure.
Thank fully I learned it is 50…but
That would have me singin’ soprano in no time too. 🙂
When you hit 50 and need a colonoscopy for real, please post it on youtube of you singing soprano. That would go viral
“What size box of latex gloves do you need?”
“Tenor please.”
That comment begs a couple of sticky questions Mike!
The power of medical fear. I think Paolo’s voice is gunna stay high for quite a while now
You know, I’ve just turned 40 and I’m having nightmares with this kind of thing.
Thanks for the help back in my comics, sometimes I mistake the words in english. It’s fixed now, and I appreciate your help.
I love your comics (I’ve just signed the feed) and I’ll be reading everything. Best regards. 8)
And, once you get probed, you go senile and get put in an old folks home!
Hope there’s a few years gap between the probing and everyone’s inevitable doom!
