I knew from a young age that I could sing and it was impressed upon me that if I got a classically trained education in voice, it would serve as a foundation for whatever I chose to do.

I've taken singing lessons since I was young, just to work on technique.

I took speech training. I took a few voice lessons in college.

Speech lessons probably did more for my singing voice - they teach you breathing, resonance.

I wasn't actually trained by my mother, she said she never taught me but she was a great singer herself and I can't remember when I didn't listen to her sing and imitate her.

I started taking singing classes just two years ago. It was great. I never knew I could sing but I kind of found my voice.

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

Vocally, I have learned to find my strength, and my voice has developed a lot since 'Be Here.' I learned to sing with all of my body.

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.
