Very bad baritone ... although co-founded experimental opera company ... dealt with matters technical
In fact I once approach the other co-founder who was the composer ... artistic director ... he would train singers ... some pretty bad ones ...
I sat him down very seriously ... pretended that it was a difficult subject but a really needed to talk ... he got very concerned and asked what's up ...
deep breath ... I ummm ... breath ... XXX you know how I've been doing all this technical stuff ?
Yes ?
Well ... ummm ... well ... the real reason ...
Yes ?
Is that I want to sing ... can you train me?
Big Eyed Silence ... mouth spluttering
4 seconds was all I could manage before cracking up
The shocked expression was brilliant
