Then there's the question of singing. I've sung in choruses all my life, starting with Sunday School and kindergarten. I was at university majoring in piano, and singing in the chorus. We were rehearsing, and there was a tenor who majored in opera, and he was there to sing the solo parts (Britten, St. Nicholas). While the conductor was busy with I don't know what, the tenor walked right over to me in the chorus line and told me I had a beautiful voice, in a whisper. That got my attention!
