Darrell Day

Voice Description

I have a very flexible voice...always have had. I was an opera singer with quite a bit of musical theatre so I have had many years of performing and using my voice in different ways. I am a baritone with a nice lower register, fairly resonant. While I do straight reads well, I also enjoy doing character voices and impressions. I am 50 years old but can sound as young as 25 or as old as 70. I understand how the voice works from a pedagogical perspective therefore I know when I am in the best shape to record.
