Q: You always mention being self-taught. I'm wondering how this applies to the voice. I sang from the time I was 2 on my own, got lessons in college, and then taught voice for years. I'm wondering what your process was like. I feel like your tone is really good and you have consistent technique. I like modeling my vowels off of yours!  When teaching yourself singing, did you ever research vocal technique, or is it moreso you just practiced until you found what felt good?
A: if i ever researched vocal technique, i would often find that the advice seemed impossible to consciously implement. occasionally i might find a tip that's useful, but usually it's just things to feel guilty about not being able to figure out how to do
