When a singer brings a lyric to life, we typically call the process "interpretation". I try to sing every note and every emotion to extract the most believability out of the text, to tell a story in the most expressive way possible. I try to pick a song I can feel and understand, so when I sing I have some credibility.

I'm not a vocal virtuoso. There are singer's whose techniques are superior to mine. I don't fully read music.

The majority of the music on my channel are "standards" and "theatre" songs. The era that spawned the songs I sing are no more. I'm a two hundred million-year-old dinosaur loose in the twenty first century.
