When I first started studying voice, and I listened to singers, I liked singing
that now I find problematic. I think this was because I was comparing that
singing to my own, and at first I heard something better than the sound I was
making at the time.

As my technique has progressed, and I continue to listen to singers, I am more
sensitive to the technical issues I am mastering. And I'm much pickier about
singing that previously I thought sounded fine.

I wonder whether Andrea has already experienced a little of this herself,
perhaps in relation to the singers of pop/rock/country/etc. music? If so, a few
years hence, her opinion of Ms. Church's vocal techique may be different than it
is today.
