Today I had a wonderful workout with my voice coach, Marla Kirban, via Skype from New Zealand to New York.

I recently accepted the challenge to step into the role of Goneril in a production of King Lear. The actress playing the part was rushed to hospital with a gall bladder emergency and there were two weeks of shows left.

Most of us experienced voice artists take for granted that we can produce a “conversational read.” It’s like falling off a log, right?
