Ok, so today I found out that I go to school with a famous opera/classical singer.
She won 1st place in an International Music Festival/Competition (for her age group) that was held in Romania. That is certainly a very impressive feat.
Not only that, but she does live performances. She mostly performs at Green Bay (where she is), but she's also performed at large events in Milwaukee, she's performed at Chigaco before, she's sung a duet live with Josh Groban
On
reverbnation(yes it's a link to her RN profile), she's ranked
#36 overall global for the classical charts.
She also sings in many languages, sometimes multiple at the same time.
You can also hire her to sing for a measly $3000 (I don't have a source, but that's what one of my classmates says he found)
I have to say, this is very impressive, and I'm now infinitely times jealous of her.
Listen to her voice. Oh my god, it sounds beautiful.
