I have a degree in music, yeah, from the University of Montana. I studied voice and composition and conducting and all that.
There are hundreds of people running around with great voices. If they would study and develop them they could become great singers.
I studied voice when I was at school, and I was in the chamber choir, and I studied music theory as well, so I guess a lot of it came from being taught at school.
Because everything about the voice interests me, I felt it would be fascinating to learn a completely different style of singing.
I've studied voice from a few different people for years.
I studied voice at Yale with Blake Stern from the music school, and he had me singing German lieder and Italian songs.
In the piano, one has the instrument complete before he begins; but in the case of the voice, the instrument has to be developed by study.
I studied voice and piano fairly seriously during my elementary and high school days, and as such, I became very attuned to rhythm and cadence and voice.
I studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.
