I work on my voice through what I have to sing.

I sang a lot as a little girl and entered competitions. I loved singing in choirs, but it was as I got older that I really found my voice.

I always enjoy rhythms and melodies, but I always use my voice as more of an instrument and less of a soapbox for me to say or to preach.

I used to sing at funeral homes for families that didn't have a vocalist. I didn't get paid. I needed to sing.

I've sung my whole life. I've taken lots of voice lessons and I love to sing. But I've never really sung professionally at all.

I use my voice as an instrument.

I started out doing improvised voices when I started working in a program where I read for kids in schools. I had some kids and they asked me if I would mind doing it. I was very happy to do it. That's where I got my training before I went to the public. I did that for several years. It was actually the best vocal training I could have had.

I know I'm not a great singer. But I love to sing and I like to use my voice in different ways.

I do voicework all the time.

I have had the good fortune of being able to sing with many of the finest voices in the world, and for someone who loves voices as I do, this is an enormous privilege.
