I saw The Sound of Music when I was 10 and thought that it was the most beautiful singing I had ever heard.
Singing is an arduous business and it needs sacrifices.
There are a lot of unseen elements to having a successful singing career.
I still have singing lessons every week twice weekly with the same singing teacher I had at the Royal Academy of Music.
It was really lovely to find another way to express music. I found that singing and dancing have such a lot in common.
So between my mother playing two-part inventions by Bach on the piano and my dad singing Ivor Novello, I became what I am today.
I also have to support my speaking voice by sitting in a way that engages the diaphragm in the way I would for singing.
