“To play the trumpet, you have to use that diaphragm, and it's the same...” — Jeffrey Osborne Quote

It takes two years on the stage for an actor or an actress to learn how to speak correctly and to manage his voice properly, and it takes about ten years to master the subtle art of being able to hold one's audience.

We are all pleased when our names are pronounced and spelled correctly.
