Hello fellow PWP's, I have been rehearsing weekly since early March, and finally, on Friday, on Saturday and on Sunday, I sang a full, two-hour program, in my 15th year as a PWP, with my local men's chorus. About 600 people heard me sing. We have about 30 active singers. I am in the 10-man bass section, and am VISIBLY in the front row. Our progam included everything from Latin Gregorian monks' chants to modern show tunes, love songs and rock'n'roll The program was designed as a chronological testimony to mens' voices. I consider it a voice miracle, that considering the slurry and soft voice that PWP's can have, that my singing is going on and on, and that the voice, people say, is still well-sounding. I find it far easier to sing than to project my voice into a telephone. Maybe a talk show about PWP's who sing would be a good idea?? If anyone out there sings (for the public), I would be most interested in any comments you have about how your voice quality, especially its range and "roundness," is best nurtured and maintained. Thank you, Ivan Suzman 50/39/36
