Those of you who know me, know that I am generally pretty easy-going...it takes a lot to get a reaction out of me that I will outwardly express...There's just this one thing that happened to me that I really can NOT leave unmentioned.
Dear Judgmental Singer,
You do not know me. You have only heard my voice once. You are not in a position to discuss everything that is wrong about my technique...especially since I have had this technique and this voice for approximately 4 weeks. My voice type is not determined by "where it sounds high", particularly if it is in my passaggio--which you would have no way of knowing about unless you were sitting-in on my lessons---which you are not. My voice type is determined only by myself and my teacher, whom you have no right to criticize because she is not your teacher. I choose to study with my teacher because I believe there is something to be gained. You chose to study with yours for the same reasons. I do not consider your decision to study with him wrong. I know my weaknesses, and I am working on them. If you feel like you want to give me constructive criticism, I more than welcome it...but please, say it to me. If you are discussing my weaknesses with someone else it is not benefiting me at all. I am passionate about my craft and am dedicating my life to pursuing perfection in it. Unless you have already done this, I prefer you not discuss my singing with others.
Kindest Regards,
Candace--the girl who sang in your class last week
