Dear Vocalistmates,
I am reminded of (I think it was) an interview during which Luciano Pavarotti told the story of when, as a boy, he received a tape recorder from his father who was trying to encourage his singing. He said he ran to his father crying and never wanting to sing again because he couldn't stand the sound of his own voice.
I'm still in the "record every lesson" stage. After each 6 months, I thin them, saving only the first lesson of every other month, to mark the passage of time so to speak. Those old tapes are very helpful. When I'm struggling with my voice and feeling down, I just listen to one of the early tapes, and silently thank my teachers for the progress I've made.
GWendel, dT
