Singing Is An Arduous Business And It

Music Is There To Access Those Dark Emotional Corners That We Don't Normally Get Too Close To.

I Performed In Sydney Some Years Ago For The Sydney Festival And I Am Just So Pleased To Be Returning To The Wonderful Sydney Opera House And Also Performing In Melbourne For The First Time.

Nobody Inspired Me More Than Julie Andrews, Who Is A Classically Trained Soprano Herself.

My Mum Used To Say To Me, 'spit On Yer 'ands And Take A Fresh 'old.' Keep Going Even If You Have Setbacks.

I Also Have To Support My Speaking Voice By Sitting In A Way That Engages The Diaphragm In The Way I Would For Singing.
