"I
grew up singing to the radio, assumed I was in tune and always
knew all the words to every new song as soon as it came out.
I met, and married, a musician who said my singing "embarrassed"
him. Every time I tried to join him in a song, he would stop
singing. I had never considered how my voice sounded, and was
horrified that I had been inflicting something so unpleasant
on others, and so I stopped singing.
Years later, I met Honey Novick and knew she gave people like
me the courage to sing again. I joined her group and heard myself
uninhibitedly singing along. I was so delighted, I continued
with her class and when she said "Sing something",
I did!. I'm still trying to find my voice, but I no longer feel
inhibited, or worry about how it may sound to others.
Thank you Honey.

to do.

It
was nice meeting you at the "Women with Vision" lunch
today, and I really enjoyed your talk. I found it very interesting
as to how projecting the voice and breathing can make a difference
and I also assume it would make a difference in the confidence
level of your voice as well.

Last
night I was fortunate to have seen the Delectable Divas perform
at Hart House, University of Toronto in celebration of International
Women’s Day. It was a fun night, full of enjoyable and energizing
entertainment. One performer Honey Novick, professionally delivered
her own spoken word piece: I am welcoming the Crone followed by
a most a powerfully moving performance. Honey invoked the ‘crone’
in us with her rendition Adio Querido. This song originated with
Ladino Jews during the Spanish Inquisition and has been mostly
adapted by Honey into modern Spanish. Tears ran down my face as
the audience sat stilled, riveted to her operatic aria. Thrilling
and empowering all in one! Honey Novick- diva, bar none! ....Linda
