Charisma - Don’t sing a tenor piece! Contralto piece, yes - tenor, no. Most vocal instructors feel that a female voice should be singing female pieces - period. It has to do with quality as opposed to range. I’m not sure where you live, but there may still be time to get into a summer camp - you need someone to hear your voice. I recently assisted at a competition (more pop than classical - my D did NOT compete in it), and it was instantly apparent who had training and who didn’t. Yes, there were a few diamonds in the rough, and a few that had more training than talent, but by and large - the training and work were definitely positives in the outcome.
