For My Own Singing, I Used To

My Mother Was The Worst Kind Of Stage Mother. She Would Make Me And My Younger Sister And Brother Little Duckling Costumes And Put Us In Kiddie Shows.

I Am So Envious Of My Colleagues From 100 Years Ago Who Only Sang New Works, They Hardly Ever Sang Revivals.

If I Have To Hold A Note For A Long Time, I Imagine It As Moving And Spinning, For The Note Has To Have Life. In A Way, A Singer Actually Refreshes A Note With Every Beat That It's Held.

I Have A Noble History Of Being Rejected By A Lot Of Places, Only To Discover That The One That Finally Lets Me In Is In Fact The Perfect Fit.

Well, Any Time Im Preparing For A Performance Or Even A Rehearsal, Its As If In A Way, Like Any Other Athletes, These Are Muscles That Support The Vocal Cords Which Are Just I Believe Cartilage. It Demands A Kind Of Constant Warming Up And A Constant Feeling Of Where Is The Voice Today.
