“I like singing songs with a lot of vibrato because when I sing I have a lot of vibrato just singing normally. People like Ariana Grande, Whitney Houston, and Christina Aguilera have a vocal range that can go up to those high notes. That’s my vocal range,” senior Vanessa Carranza said.
Carranza explains she started getting into singing at three to five years old. She joined chorus in third grade and has continued throughout her middle and high school years. “Each time I’ve gone into the next school year and joined the choir it’s always been filled with multiple opportunities and I’ve enjoyed it. I have loved it moving onto the next grade,” Carranza said.
Carranza has been a part of some notable singing events with her time in the choir
. This included her joining the district choir in seventh grade, as well as doing the same in her current senior year. She was a part of an American Choral Directors Association or ACDA regional competition which involved Virginia as well as other states across the country. Carranza is involved in chamber choir and advanced treble choir.
Carranza enjoys pop, soul, and R&B music, and her favorite musical artist is Ariana Grande.
Carranza is very passionate about singing and has loved singing for a long time. “Since the minute I was born, honestly ever since I could have spoken,” Carranza said.
