Abstract
The first chapter of this paper examines and classifies a particular vocal subcategory—the “baritenor” —from a pedagogical, technical, and professional (career) perspective. Multiple criteria, such as registration events, vocal range, timbre, and tessitura are examined in an attempt to determine whether a young baritone has the potential to become a dramatic tenor or Heldentenor. Building upon the pedagogical theories of Richard Miller and others, Chapters 2 and 3 explore how the baritone-about-to-be-a-tenor can use vocal exercises as a means to master the techniques demanded by tenor singing. Chapter 3 provides vocal advice and presents exercises necessary to address the various technical issues present in Italian art songs and arias.
