I am a classically trained versatile vocalist who can sing any style, but has a passion for a more operatic approach, although I am not an opera singer. I'm looking for people who want to make a difference with their music, and want to have a good time rockin' out!! Life is SHORT. If it's meant to be, It would be awesome if we could take our music on tour. I don't play any instruments, just a little piano, so that's where you would come in! It is important that you are cool with making music that can really impact the listener, and that you have an appreciation for real vocal talent. I can not do screams, nor will I pretent that I can. LOL :)

**UPDATED: 5/6/09** I am currently getting ready to start private lessons. So if you want someone who is serious about perfecting their art --I'm your girl. ;)**

I don't have any actual "band gig" experience, but I have been in a band that was heavily Evanscence/Nightwish influenced --and we were working to develop a Danny Elfman (Think Tim Burton films) type sound. I have done many shows (choir, theatre) and solos so I do have performance experience.

I've been singing a long time, a classically trained soprano. Would love to play in a band with our own sound--heavy riffs of course along with a pianist and violinist to give it a classical edge.

I have also recently become very into writing vocal harmonies for well known songs, and would even be interested in collaborating with someone to sing/write harmonies for them.

If you're a fun, down-to-earth, loving person and this sounds like something you'd be interested in starting, please contact me, thanks!! www.myspace.com/ blackened_dove 23

( It would be nice if there wasn't a huge gap in our ages, as I've recently found this can lead to musically creative differences. Thanks!)
