I have been told to
step away from the Australian dipthong.
Singing with that won’t do.
I use italian vowels.
They are pure and true.
I try to tread the path of
the classical singer who
adds depth to the choral sound,
who listens and blends with the team
and is a pleasure to be around
BUT
if I take my voice overseas
and try to fit into an English choir
even though I don’t hear it
my accent will show through.
Maybe it’s because I am not a Londoner
that my voice will be found.
