Cynthia’s depth of knowledge about the technicality of singing is eye opening. I feel like we don’t get much analysis from the performers, so this was refreshing.

[KevinHegmann]

It’s so nice to see someone ask questions that let artists talk in technical ways

[JoelGreen-mr]

I saw her perform this “Color Purple “ Broadway and if I close my eyes and get quiet I start to cry and feel it to my toes that’s how spiritually beautiful and amazing it was and She is BRAVO

[Lizwindsor]

I was lucky enough to see her perform this live 3 times on Broadway. A life changing experience. I will never forget Cynthia’s magic.

[GeeAyeEm]

Her voice is absolutely Love her so much

[ttabor]

She looks so comfortable in this interview!

[LolaB]

She is such a beautiful person, full of love, wisdom, strength, intuitive, kind, warm, the list goes on…oh and yes extremely talented.

I see what Cynthia is saying. The dynamics of “I’m here“ change many times from soft to loud and then soft again and then to loud again, and then soft again. so it’s not just technically you have to sing loud and then soft again that’s an issue, that’s not that hard I would think. But emotionally you’re going from opening up like she says to closing back up and starting from scratch again. That’s a lot of back and forth emotionally. And like she said, you basically have to stand still, with a bit of walking, in order to sing that song, whereas with “defying gravity“ there’s a lot of action that, facilitates the singing. Someone else also said that defying gravity uses more mixed voice anyway which is helpful and makes it easier to sing big.

I love the “I’m here” comment at the end. If you think, you can do it, just remember the emotional and vocal journey from the beginning to “I’m gonna siiiing ouuut”

The best thing this interviewer did was say “can you give an example….?” And boy did she give it!

[DeniseG-cp]

Her voice is God sent! So precious and strong at the same time. Pulling from your

[Sjmm]

Where is the whole interview? I’d love to see everything they talk about. She’s a great interviewer!!!

[steavision]

Cynthia's accessories are everything, always. I'm obsessed.

[jackehboi]

I could listen to her speak about anything for hours

[laurieh]

Cynthia is such an inspiration. Her soul shines all the time. And definitely a fashion icon in her own way, so different from others, I am always curious to see what she will come up with this time... She is deserving of all the attention she is getting from Wicked, and more!

[nbdeokoo]

This wicked witch knows every truth behind all kinds of singing skill😂 Magnificent😍

Great interview - I love hearing about the technical aspects of singing. Great questions, she shared so much interesting information.

[BBurtonG]

Just to clear up any potential confusion, I never once thought I could manage, “I’m Here.”

[simplyemily]

She gives me goosebumps every time she sings even example singing like this ❤
