Classical Singing Lessons
How long on average does it take a person to become a great (as in near perfect) classical singer?
Recently I began taking classical singing lessons just for fun because I love the classical style. I've grown to love the art and started wondering how far I could take this. My teacher says that I definitely have the potential if I ever choose to study seriously and take this to the career level.
Now, I'm not a great singer, not even very good. My teacher only said that I have potential. But the way I see it, potential is something I can work with. And I am a hard worker. I'm just wondering, how long on average does it take someone to be a wonderful singer? I'm willing to put in the hours, I guess I'm just asking for a bar to meet. How many years will it take me to become like...don't laugh...Anna Netrebko? (I know, I dream wayyy big. But I know I can do it).
@MissLimLam: I'm 19-years-old. I'm assuming when you said 30 you probably meant a bit later- not exactly 30. Let's pretend it was 35. So in 16 years I can be a fantastic singer?
It depends on how old you are - dont expect to sound "the best" until youre in your thirties, and then only after years of training.

What type of singing lessons should I get? Opera, or musical theatre?
Can someone tell what exactly is opera training? Like classical training?
Here is my voice so you can make a discussion:

So I told my mom, I really want singing lessons like for xmas and she said if I pay for half than I can get them. So what style would fit me better? ?
thanks...
I want to get the correct lessons for my voice.
Ok...so I listened to a little bit of them and this is what I think.
Consider this first:
What kinds of things would you like to sing in the future? (would you like to do operas, musicals, be a pop star, etc?)
I personally take classical training but I LOVE doing musical theatre. My teacher will actually work on both with me, but usually focuses on classical. I really think it's a great idea to get classical because it's the more professional way of singing. I think you should maybe study classical for a couple years and then work on musical theatre so that you can be good at both. You also sounded a bit shrill on your videos and I think classical training would help with that, so you can have a rounder, fuller sound.
Classical training is more operatic, very open and full. If you are a soprano, you really really should consider working on this, although mezzos and altos benefit greatly from it as well. You will work on breath, vowel technique, vibrato, and possibly learn to sing foreign languages. Make sure you get a good teacher that is recommended by others.
