Habanera
A Bit Of Bill Bailey This came to be via Bill Bailey when in the βLarks In Transitβ he mentioned that βHabaneraβ which opens one of my favourite operas βCarmenβ by Bizet, by its use of juxtaposed major and an minor keys is a perfect analogy for the highs and lows of being in love, he then invites a real opera singer (Florence Hvorostovsky) on to sing the piece while he accompanies her on piano. The problem being the subtitles do not reflect the words she is actually singing.

How I Made $150 From The Vocal Fiction Challenge Despite Not Being Good Enough To Even Make The Shortlist

The Voice and The Accent
My Voice and Accent I have a few videos up on YouTube and this is where people can hear me talk. I seriously donβt think my voice is special, in fact, I think I sound uncultured and fairly inept, however when people across the pond hear it some people think I sound a little more than acceptable.
