Q: Im 13 in 7th grade and I want to be in the talent show and I've selected a really good piece---"Un Moto Di Gioia" from Marriage of Figaro. I know that I'm only 13 and all, but I've been singing for a really long time and my voice is plenty mature and operatic to sing this---my choir teacher assigned it to me as a solo last year at choir camp and I did a fine job, so don't give me a lecture on "your-voice-isn't-mature-enough" because it is. The only problem is, what if people, like, make fun of me for singing this in the 7th grade? I mean, everyone else will be doing stuff like rapping and pop like Mariah Carey and it'll just look...weird. Do you think I should lay back or go for it???
You can choose to be one of a kind and go for it. but if you're REALLY insecure about how different you might be, you can always modernize the song a little bit by backing off from those incredibly high voice notes and bring it down to how any other artist now-a-days would sing it. it's just a suggestion.

It's not incredibly high. It only goes to about a G 1.5 octaves above Middle C. You can't modernize Mozart, hun
