September 12, 2018 A conversation with Dawn Padula, Mezzo-Soprano and Associate Professor of Voice at University of Puget Sound. We talk about how the voice works and what parts of it are in our control. We discuss what affects our unique tone and vocal range, hormonal treatment to alter vocal range, vocal fatigue, her work on the male passaggio, and what to realistically expect from voice lessons. Intro track: "Kyrie" from the Berliner Mass sung by the Byrd Ensemble. Produced by Scribe Records.
