Dear Dramatic Sop having a fit!!
Well, just so's you don't think you're a complete
retard!!! Not everybody goes around doing breathing
exercises you know? I've never done one in my life I
don't think? I don't bother with all that stuff. If
you've got wonderful breath control, there's nothing
to say it's going to make you're singing any better,
but you'll probably be very adept at diving for
pearls!!
Best wishes,
Ian Voice wrecker to the stars!
