Those were my absolute favorite cases. <BR/><BR/>I am confident that your daughter wil not ruin her voice doing Annie. However, you might consider working with the play's director to find a vocal coach who specializes in working with kids who do musical theater singing (belting). In a city as big as Boston there's bound to be one or two at least. <BR/><BR/>It seems I have more advice than I thought...hope you don't mind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-69335402226038712132009-02-25T18:50:00.000-05:002009-02-25T18:50:00.000-05:00Anali - thanks, and if my frosting comes out prese...Anali - thanks, and if my frosting comes out presentable next time, I just might take some photos! :)<BR/><BR/>Jo - Thanks, and, Philippine fruits are WONDERFUL. I miss them so much.<BR/><BR/>Suldog - I appreciate the encouragement!<BR/><BR/>Map - my daughter is as white as her French-American father, and I've even been asked if I'm her nanny. So I don't know if times have indeed changed...but I hope they have! <BR/><BR/>BTW I was so pleased with how the calamansi ones turned out. Would you believe I've seen an American baker put out a recipe (on cupcakeblog) for ube cupcakes?! My next foray, I think, will involve an almond one, maybe a maple one, some red velvet, and...lavender. Definitely gotta try the lavender. :)T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09208990104460795917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-61236727955633519012009-02-25T18:44:00.000-05:002009-02-25T18:44:00.000-05:00Congratulations to your daughter!

I was told by one of the other little girls that I couldn't because I was not white. My how times have changed. Congrats again. <BR/><BR/>PS I love calamansi cupcakes!Maphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937107466427576354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-45829737677553114242009-02-25T14:37:00.000-05:002009-02-25T14:37:00.000-05:00I can offer you some encouragement.

Of course, I'm talking about a reasonable amount of work, not OVERwork; similar to exercise strengthening muscles, but too much at one time not being good for the body. In any case, the important thing is to make sure she uses good technique. Projection from the diaphragm, rather than screaming from the throat; that sort of thing.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-33828985754624052612009-02-25T13:54:00.000-05:002009-02-25T13:54:00.000-05:00Hi, Dr. P - Not only can I never get my icing to s...Hi, Dr. P - Not only can I never get my icing to swirl like that (although supposedly it's merely a matter of having a swirler-thingy), but also, despite the success of the actual cakes, my cupcake frosting turned out DISASTROUSLY (right taste, WRONG look and texture) due to a mixing/proportions error on my part. Oh well - they were yummy anyway. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm gonna get to work on finding some good vocal coaching.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09208990104460795917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-6494890769594379952009-02-25T13:40:00.000-05:002009-02-25T13:40:00.000-05:00We now have yet another thing in common - my daugh...We now have yet another thing in common - my daughter, too is an aspiring actress-singer!
