I just finished listening to this very interesting interview of Ron Oates. He’s obviously had a fabulous career because a fellow who has listened mainly to classical music was acquainted with his name! His start in the business seems to have been one of those “meant to be situations” in which unexpected elements congealed to start such a long career. It’s remarkable how he could listen to spoken lyrics and weave music around them, although he wasn’t a singer. And he seems unique, working with singers to determine the “sweet spots” in their voice and altering keys to take advantage of the best section of their range. Masters like Verdi did this with famous arias, not forcing a singer to sing through countless passagios. What an interesting and obviously nice man. It’s not surprising he’s still in demand.

I felt like I was in the room with two friends who allowed me to sit in and learn. Nailed it! Thank you for sharing.
