sympathy heart thrill
I sometimes get that wonderful sympathy between me and the audience, telling me I've reached their hearts. And when I do, the thrill is mine.
sight singing acting
This nation loves singing and loves acting.
harder
I am harder on myself than anyone else could be.
dog home mean
I love animals to the extent that my home is my dog's home! Which means that nothing is too good for my Freckles-chairs, couches, beds. But I do draw the line on chipmunks nibbling at my table linens, bedding, blankets, etc.
excessive people realizing submit
Many people submit to excessive appetites without realizing that they do not need to eat so much food.
audience grasp syllable
It is important that the audience should understand every syllable of every word, for only then can they grasp the meaning of the song.
people sing
Most of the people who act and sing do so for their own pleasure and that of their friends and family.
It's up to the audience. It always has been.
quite since
Since I have been singing for so many years, I don't always need to approach a song quite so laboriously and meticulously.
