Now, let's get to the problem. I still have lessons left with my first teacher (pop singer) and today she told me that because I am a Baritone my voice will never sound good if I sing songs in the tenor range.
I personally prefere the tenor range when I listen to songs, so what she said was very discouraging for me.
The thing is my new more experienced opera singing teacher said the opposite. He said that I can learn to sing tenor beautifully. All it takes is long enough vocal cords to produce the tone in the first place, a perfect technique and the faith that it's possible.

Now people please tell me who is right. Because what my old teacher said discouraged me alot. I believe I will be able to sing in tenor range with the highest vocal quality possible, but now im standing in a turning point either my opra singer is right and the pop singer is wrong and I will have to learn that my old teacher is not as competent and skilled as I thought OR
She was right and I'm chasing something that will never happen( which is sing beautifully in the range I feel sound most beautiful to me (tenor))

I am male 24 years old, just in case this is important in any way

Thank you for taking the time
