Thread Name: I Hate the Sound..of 'classically trained' singers
Subject: RE: I Hate the Sound...
Judy Collins was classically trained, and I won't hear a bad word about her folk recordings. It's a question of whether you know which parts of your classical training to apply to folk music, and which parts to save for another day. There's nothing wrong with hitting the notes spot on, clear diction, wide vocal range, and some of the other things one may get from classical training.
