No voice teacher can be all things to all people. You have to gain information from whatever sources you can. You have to listen.

I listen to archival and historic recordings. I love watching singers. I learned a lot from watching videos.

I don't want to be somebody who stands still and sings pretty. Each song is a world. Each song is a story. I don't achieve nearly what I want.

My parents discussed singing every night over the dinner table; I had a tremendous music education.

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