It is our responsibility to learn how to speak to an audience that is less informed about music, to give it a reason to want to come and see us instead of going to the movies.

I want to keep my voice young, with nothing heavy.

For my own singing, I used to be attracted by the baroque, the flashier the better, but now I prefer a simpler, purer style.

I would love to do more private concerts.

Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.

I enjoy the more floaty, exposed, elegant singing.

You finally have to learn to pull all the different kinds of teaching and training and coaching together on you own, so that your voice and body and technique for a sound that is consistent and solid.
