"For one thing, I teach my students what my teacher for twenty years, Paul Gavert, told me, 'The voice follows... the voice follows everything about you... who you are.'"
"Everything good that I know was taught to me by great teachers and I feel like giving back and sharing the technique is the thing to do."
