My Voice Experience

Marla Kirban, Bruce Kronenberg and Bryant Falk worked intensively with me for the last year, and produced my demo (available here or through jndrummond@msn.com).

Opera training, studied with President of New England Conservatory (Boston), rapidly put into chorus with Boston Symphony Orchestra. Sang with the Orchestra in chorus under conductors Colin Davis, Seiji Ozawa, work ranging from Stravinsky to Haydn.

After graduation from Harvard Law I spent a number of years as a federal court litigator, with a superb success rate. I received constant compliments on my subtle and powerful voice use: never loud, but deeply resonant, and conveying my own opinion through emotions behind the seemingly neutral words.
