In opera on Tv theres women singing so high that they break glass, windows, glasses, binoculars etc. But my question is, is it really true?

Yes you can break glass with sound. It is not one note though. Each piece of glass has a harmonic frequency that is determined by the size shape and crystal structure of it. If you have a note loud enough at that frequency the vibrations in the glass will keep building upon them and eventually break it. The louder it is the faster it will break.\nSome very good opera singers can break crystal goblets this way, but it is very difficult because you have to hold a very exact note.

I heard it from my tv when i was young too. Don't know about the pc but think it was to do with the glass tubes in the back of the old(i'm taking beta max video old lol)  tvs.

Angel by Sarah McLaughlin is really nice, and it's not overly high, \nummm Or the song "Breathe" by Anna Nalick is absolutely amazing. Probably one of my favourites. \nGood luck choosing, and performing!

I don't know if you're talking about a particular opera song that is in a lot of fight scenes, but there's one that I remember.  It's Carmina Burana's Oh Fortuna.

Only if the wax in your wings melt if you fly too close to the sun...seriously though...there have been cases where people mix it with spirits and go on a binge...serious complications...it is a stimulant.

Friedrich Nietzche said that music is not like a mathematical skill, but like a language. That is to say, it's not like "clever" people enjoy Opera and "stupid" people enjoy pop. Rather, opera and pop are two different languages of music. Liking pop over opera is a bit like speaking English but not understanding Chinese.\n\nIn other words, it doesn't matter what kind of music you listen to, as long as you enjoy that music with all your soul. Rock on!

She can sing in tune and all.  Good voice.  In that particular song I thought that her voice lacked excitement... even the big key change she belted out could have more punch.  Once she learns to sing with more excitement and energy she'll go places... if she's got the right people around her.

this is a very quick summary - it has been sometime since I read it ---- but in most companies there is this invisible barrier that prevents women from being promoted beyond a certain level.....that is what they refer to as the glass ceiling and the shattering is the techniques & stratgies that they offer to women to break/shatter that ceiling - overcome a male dominated management scheme and move on up

You can take lessons to develop your voice in terms of range and projection.  But one also needs an "ear" for music to be able to hear when they are on key and in rhythm with the music, and I don't believe that can be taught.  And of course there's the issue of stage presence that is crucial for success in the performing arts.

excuse my language but F*CK Ya!!!!!!!!!!! thing that will, could, or did happen to you is wut they are singing. It will pull something from deep within you to the outside and help you live your life.\n\nThink, love, listen, be a minority. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, you jaust have to tell them to F*ck off.\n\nSTICK IT TO THE MAN!!!!!!!!-quoted by Billie Joe Armstrong

I have seen people use crystal wine glasses filled with different amounts of water used as musical instruments. You play them by running your fingers along the rims of the glasses. Not everyone has a set of crystal glasses -- but you might want to experiment on other types of glassware, bottles, etc. This would be a great way to demonstrate the use of sound waves -- since the volume of water in each glass determines the pitch, etc. I understand you can adjust the pitch of each glass by using tuning forks -- adjust the level of water until it matches the sound made by the tuning fork(s).

you don't hear your "real" voice because when you speak/sing, the bones in your ear vibrate and give you a distorted sound. When others hear you, they only get the sound waves and hear what you really sound like. Singers don't hear their real voice, they only hear the notes they sing.. I would suggest going to a voice instructor
