Randy,
Yes! And how about the choral directors who also want adult women to sound like choirboys? (Vibrato BAD!!!!!) Something's wrong there, too!
Singers should be allowed to sing in a way that is comfortable and healthy for them. I won't work with anyone (other than my teacher, of course) who wants to manipulate my voice.
