Hi everyone.
My answer to Larry's question "What did the New Plymouth article by Mr Purdy mean when he said Hayley has an under developed voice." Is rather mixed.
I don't think he is right if he means she can't do vocal gymnastics, there are times when she does but they are subtle and integrated, not a demonstration of ability and these are controlled which he may have interpreted as indicating limited ability.
Rather crassly phrased I had interpreted his comment as referring to the fact that there is still more to come from her. She is only 24. Theoretically she has almost another ten years before she is permanently stuck with the voice as it is at that time. Her physical vocal ability is still maturing quite apart from any additional development from training, practice or developed use.
There is no question, in my mind, that there is still more to come from her. It is that which adds the excitement of seeing her regularly. The gap between Llandudno a month or so back and seeing her again in March is a sufficient gap to be aware of differences. It isn't always so. Development comes in spurts but now she is so much older it is likely that I will hear a greater body to her sound, increasing the richness and her control and mastery will be even greater
