Endangered Languages Project.
Check out Google's Endangered Languages Project. Which ones captured your attention the most? Why? Did you check out the songs in several of the languages? How can studying the videos and sound files enhance our work?
What captured me: realizing that we have several languages in New York State that could disappear: Onondaga and Oneida for starters.
In classical voice study, we primarily deal with English, Italian, French and German, usually with Latin and Spanish thrown in to the mix. Is there any language outside of the standards that interests you? Talk to me in your lesson and let's see what we can do to let that part of your light shine!

Endangered Languages ... SOAS
Endangered Languages ... SOAS.
Amazing project to preserve the world's languages. Which languages interest you the most? Can you put your research skills to the test to see what music you might find? If so, did you find any music we could work on together in lessons? Consider it your way of contributing to the project!
Check out the post on the Google project Endangered Languages as well!

We've had some discussions recently about making sure you are taking care of your health for your performing careers. I came across this article on the blog "A Liberal's Libretto" about Adele, among other singers whom have had to deal with vocal issues. While in college, you're working fairly closely with acting and singing teachers - are you listening to what they say? Are you working on the exercises you've been given - both speaking and singing? Do you understand the exercises and vocalises you've been given? Once out, are you developing a team of people whose ears you can trust? You'll be hearing opinions from every area, and things can get confusing at times. Find folks you can trust.
Ultimately, it is up to you to do what you need to for your career. Take the measures you need to to protect your gifts for a long career.
