"Hi Howard - I recieved my Born to Sing CD's package and already I have picked up on a couple of things that will really be of help. I have had vocal training for about 8 years, so I am not a complete novice. However, she is a classical trainer and although she quickly grasped my needs and helped me to develop my voice, I always felt that there must be certain techniques and tips regarding pop singing that is not encounterd when singing in a classical style. Especially useful is the way you approach the sound of vowels and diphtongs.... But anyway, I'll keep in contact - thanks very much for the throat relief!!!!"
