The Big American Voice

I saw an interesting article in the New York Times about singing that you all might be interested in. It talks about how our current system of apprenticeships, etc. doesn't really encourage the development of big voices, instead favoring light singing in pretty packaging. A good read with lots of interesting quotes. It also mentions one of your "vocal cousins", my college colleague Marjorie Owens, who studied with my teacher at Baylor (Dr. Van Cura) when I was there. She has done the Houston program and is now doing Chicago.

Anyway, the article is here.
