KEY MOMENTS

 ‘I used to call her the vocal magician. She was able to do all kinds of things with the voice’

‘They might think I might be harder on them or easier on the big pop star. Nobody gets a break’

‘Sometimes they'll be like I don't have time for a voice coach. They go back out and repeat the same thing, then they come back to the same doctor with the same problem only worse’.
