I'd like to comment on what Rachel from NYC posted on your site regarding the "old" voice of soprano Deborah Voigt. Because the speaking and singing voices are a part of the ever-changing human body, it stands to reason that any dramatic body change could and probably would effect the muscular and/or air coordination and, most importantly, tonal resonance of the voice. We are our own loud speakers. As a singer, voice teacher and personal friend of Deborah Voigt's, I would like to suggest that we all begin to salute and support the "new" Ms. Voigt for successfully coming through her major operation and continue to praise her for her great artistry and outstanding commitment to beautiful singing.

Please ask Ms. Voigt to talk about the process of regaining her voice and vocal technique after she had her surgery. Some listeners have heard a lighter voice since the surgery, and hope to hear something more like the "old" Deborah Voigt.

(I hope you can find a way to ask this question, which is very important to opera fans and all those who love Deborah Voigt, her voice and her artistry.)
