This is a very broad question and open to lots of differences in opinion, but
what exactly is Art Song Style? I have had lots of theatrical experience,
but some comments I get in competitions point out that I perform art songs in
a pop style. When I say perform I mean gestures, not singing. I have been
told that it is a very intimate style, but I have never quite grasped the
real picture yet.

Thanks,
Jason
