I am still working on developing my voice. I am, I know, better as a coloratura singer than I was. It's a matter of strong breath control and yet making it sound as though it is the easiest thing in the world.

There was a time, actually, when I hadn't been singing, and I'd lost a lot of my ability. My range had shrunk.

And I've had vocal training on and off for years.

The fact that I'm often pushing my voice as hard as I can is from playing in nightclubs in Albuquerque where you don't have a good sound system.

It took me five years to realize what I could do with my voice. No Auto-Tune - cut all that off.

In the past, my voice was my enemy.

I never really think too much about my voice.

Right now, my voice is better than ever. It changed. I have better low notes than I had before.

It's fun to use all of my range; there are so many different colors and textures that come out, revealing different parts of my voice. I know what my voice is capable of, and I try to fit it to each song, evoke a mood.
