That is great to hear, Lana - I was a bit worried that I would have to
restrain my voice, which is the worst thing I could possibly do right
now, just when I am trying to let it bloom. I am glad to hear about
your great experience! Lana, we also have shared voice teachers - I am
now studying with Janet Campbell, and she has mentioned you and said
great things about your dedication and enthusiasm!
Thanks again,
