For more then thirty years I have been singing on the worlds great operatic stages. This means that for more than thirty years I have been working under the pressure of performance, taking direction both as an actor and singer. As a consequence I understand both drama and comedy, comedy being the most difficult.
I teach singing, which means I also understand the subtleties of vocal nuance. If you understand the last sentence you are a better man than I Gunga Din. Seriously, I do understand how to use my voice in characterizations both comic and dramatic.
I am an outdoorsman, a wine coniseur, having lived both in Paris and in Munich. I love to write and am at my best when performing. My characters are always well thought out and are always as original as I can make them.
