Marie-Claire,
I did not write that statement. I was responding to a message from
Karen Mercedes in which she quoted someone else's making that
statement. Neither Karen nor I agree with it. >>
Nor I... although I have heard of voice teachers (including a certain female
one in DC) whose attitudes are: "There are no mezzos, only lazy sopranos."
To which *I* say: "Bite me."

you something else you do not know already, especially about yourself.
Conversely, pride and arrogance close the door of the mind."
