You singing this inspired me to sing along. I've always been very self-concious of my voice, but hearing yours and hearing the parallels between our voices and how beautiful you sound has given me more confidence. Thank you for inspiring the virtual choir. I've been in choir for over 4 years and rarely experience the feeling just listening to Eric Whitacre's music gives me. Keep singing honey.

[Britlin Losee]

Thank you! Keep singing!!

I hope that you get to be a well-known and loved composer someday- thanks for inspiring Eric to do the virtual choir :)

[Britlin Losee]

Wow thank you! :)

So this video inspired the Virtual Choir, which in turn inspired other online choirs and orchestras in which I, along with so many others, take part. It just goes to show how one person can really make a difference. Simply wonderful. Thank you.

Britlin, I do not have the words to tell you what I mean to say, and not enough space in this text box. However, you inspired one of the greatest, most beautiful and unique music projects of all time. Because of YOUR video, because you were brave enough to post YOUR singing, Eric Whitacre created the virtual choir which has touched the hearts and lives of countless people. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for what you did.

He showed you in one of his TED talks and you were very inspiring. I love your teddy bear as well.

I saw your video as part of Eric Whitacre's TED talk - and I thought your singing was so beautiful it made me cry. Stay true to your dreams: you've already inspired a very special phenomenon.

Thank you for inspiring one of the greatest undertakings in the history of music. People will look back and see your video, and they will know you are the inspiration. You and your innocent, pure singing. Thank you.

This is one if the sweetest things I have ever heard! Go, Britlin, and thank you!

[bradhayashi]

You not only have a sweet voice, you have a very sweet spirit about you. It is no wonder that you inspired a movement so appropriate for today's technologically, socially-connected world. I wish you all the best in your composing career.

I come back to watch this video every month and tear up every time I watch it. Your performance, to me, is more moving than I even Sleep itself.
