Itâ€™s the age of celebrity. Itâ€™s the age of social media. But for we old school girls who donâ€™t want to show up at every single event just â€˜causeÂ I donâ€™t tweetâ€“I have nothing to say. Iâ€™m not on Facebook.Â I mean it sounds like I have plenty to say, but thatâ€™s to people who Iâ€™m in a room with. Iâ€™m not that interesting, and the rest is none of your business.

Itâ€™s wonderful, itâ€™s expressive. Itâ€™s a way of using a part of my instrument that Iâ€™m comfortable and familiar with. The voice is such a vital part of crafting a character. Iâ€™m so pleased that I have the kind of voice that prints well and that people want to hear. Iâ€™ve had friends actually say, â€˜You know, I was in the kitchen, and the television was on and I heard you.â€™ I love hearing that thereâ€™s something familiar about my sound, and that to some people itâ€™s soothing.
