Replying to LO28149 --
Dear At,
As one of old voice teachers used to say about the below: This is from
memory but the gist of it is correct.
"You must approach it like a duck, Ray. Water never bothered a duck,
neither should your audience bother you. Let the criticism roll off your
back and remember that your worry is self-doubt at whether you are doing
your job as an artist. You are using them to express your own self doubt.
Art is about the sub-conscious processes and you must enjoy them or you
will fail as a singer."
Dame Eva Turner

> (b) It destroys the spirit of tolerance while flaming judgemental

> (c) It lowers the capacity for authentic learning by falling back on rote
> learning.
