I Haven't Really Been Able To Transfer

I Was Constantly Being Pushed Toward A European Ideal Of What It Means To Be A Classical Or Opera Singer, Let's Say In The Renata Tebaldi Mode. I Reject That.

I Have Had A Very Difficult Time With Stage Fright; It Undermines Your Well-being And Peace Of Mind, And It Can Also Threaten Your Livelihood.

For A While It Was Hard For Me To Say No To Work.

Music Enabled Me As A Fragile Young Person To Give Voice To Emotions I Could Barely Name, And How It Enables Me To Give My Voice The Unique And Mysterious Power To Speak To Others.

So Much Can Be Gained From Watching Other Singers, Seeing What They Do And What They Don't Do, Seeing How They Look When They Breathe, How Wide They Open Their Mouths For A High Note.
