High Baritone or light Baritone

Answer 1

Well, your a man so thats a plus. Lyric voices (higher and lighter) are always the more common than dramatic ones.  Generally, bigger is considered better: They carry over larger orchestrals, they are able to fill bigger halls etc.

However that doesn't mean you should give up, there are a number of roles generally designated for lyric voices such as:

     Papageno in Magic Flute

     Figaro in The Barber of Seville

     Pelleas in Pelleas et Melisande

     Marcello in La Boheme

And there are many other factors which are just as important as vocal size: ACTING, Looks, and diction are key to performers

Hvorostovsky is a verdi Baritone, a much larger and darker voice.
