“....there's an old saying that he who knows how to breathe knows how to sing, and if you breathe correctly your whole body is in the right position to project sound - and technique, to me, is absolutely of the first importance. It's one thing to be born with great vocal cords and the possibility to sing. But you have to have a technique - you cannot sing on just your natural voice.
If you've got a cold, a sniffle, if you're tired, you have to have this basic, solid foundation to work on.”
from an interview conducted for The Academy of Song - June 1995
