| It was quite an impressive list of students. I know that someone like Whoopee Goldberg who was definitely not a singer did manage to be able to learn to sing and still sound like herself for her Sister Act movies so obviously his method is effective. Many of the musical theatre personalities seem to also produce a natural tone that is quite like their own speaking voices. I haven't heard enough of the opera singers to say what their voices sound like but as in all methods and approaches...most of us experience more than one teacher in our lifetimes and their different approaches to the same subject matter often result in different levels of learning. I have seen a Seth Riggs book and accompanying CD at a local music store. With all this conversation surrounding his speech level singing I am curious enough to possibly buy the book and try out his plan and see what ensues. Being classically trained first and then studying musical theatre it could be quite interesting to see what happens.
