I really like this comic. I can't say everything I want to say, but I will say, I was kind of serious about singing when I was younger. I wanted very badly to play a breeches role ever since someone told me it was a thing. My voice coach wouldn't let me because I'm a coloratura soprano. My voice is too high.
I understand it is not entirely the same situation as your comic, but reading it still brought out some memories and I did tear up a little. It's so strange how much of opera (and singing professionally in-general) is controlled by what other people expect to see at your show, when the sound comes out of your own mouth. Anyway, thank you for making this comic and thank you for letting me read it.
