No, you're not wrong, at all. 1.Laura's natural/native voice is "dramatic soprano" type (an insanely powerful one) with extension capabilities to higher or lower registers. Also, her voice is very versatile and ductile, like Platinum. Examples : Dramatic soprano (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/guBkZbNe0NvOp30.html), lyric soprano (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a51ynrBpnNquoJs.html). The only vocal feature that can not be changed or tricked is the vocal timbre, and in this chapter I think Laura was gifted with the most beautiful and rich vocal timbre I've ever heard. 2.The only way to try to tame the vocal "beast" that lies dormant inside her larynx, Laura must master her vocal technique for heavy classical music (opera) at the highest level and this means several years of terrifying work. Anyway it is difficult to keep such a voice in short leash, it is hard as you would like to tame a T-Rex or a tsunami. Yes, before AGT, Laura was basically self-taught. During AGT and about a year after, Laura received vocal guidance (one hour per week) from the Romanian/American mezzosoprano Nicoleta Roman ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abempZxlt5iceIU.html ). When her voice hadn't matured yet for full potential and her vocal training was insufficient (one hour weekly is a joke), Laura had a little unpleasant vocal experience ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7ibdtiAs9C1YKc.html ) but she managed to come back quickly. More recent little vocal problems ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ht14Z9iF2N_Hkac.html ). For a singer, especially for those with an affinity for classical music, such problems may occur.

@@draculasjester4951 I so greatly appreciate all that you took your time to prepare in response to my utter lack of real knowledge about Laura's odyssey in search of her voice. I am just a poor schlemp whose mother could sing like an angel and taught me a few things when I wasn't trying to become the fifth Beatle and failing miserably. All I know is when Laura sing Heaven opens up for me. I can't tell you why her voice is so exquisite, just that it is. I have been weeping to her voice since her first notes on AGT 2016. The are, and have been, others that were attracted to sing Opera at a young age Amira Willighagen, Jackie Evancho and Emanne Beasha to name a couple. None of them struck me at my very core of being like Laura has. In fact only one other singer has affected me more than Laura and that is Daneliya Tuleshova from Kazakhstan who is going to be 17 this year. Can't tell you there either but within the first two notes of singing 'Stone Cold' at 10 years old I was an emotional disaster as I was sobbing almost hysterically it took me more than an hour to be able talk without breaking down again. I have no idea the source of the response just that it is there always with these two young talented lady's. So again thank you for the information it is always better to have the truth about something rather than making your (my) best guess about someone given the information I have
