Clark has bad technique in that she sings very wide vowels through where she
should mix for her voice (bflat above middle c). But from what I've heard
about her personality, she is also a classic overdoer in that she never shuts
up; this is at the root of most vocal disorders regardless of genre. Dr.
Robert Bastian had an excellent article in a recent nats jos about vocal
overdoer syndrome. If you're familiar with the data the leading category of
singers who have irreversible lesions are amateur classical singers who are
certainly unmiced.
