"Talent is the basis on which
the artist's creativity is developed.
In the performing arts, it is vital to have a synchronization between the composer and the talent of the performer
who recreates the work in order to establish an emotional connection, and project both the composer's intention and
his ability to enthrall the audience.
In many cases the skills and preparation of the performer are even more important to the success of a certain work.
The skilled performer can often overcome weaknesses and gaps in a work, and turn them into effective moments in performance.
Of all the performing arts, only one demands such a multiplicity of talents, and this is the art of singing.
For this reason, it is easy to distinguish a good singer. The difficulty lies in finding a great singer with universal appeal.
However, those first-rate artists that do happen to find success make our world a much more beautiful and enjoyable place."

- talent
- special natural ability or aptitude,
the word comes from the Greek word "Tadavto"
meaning balance or weight.
"A talented singer is defined as an individual who can produce beautiful, memorable sounds.
It is just as important that the individual has a deep understanding of the text and has the ability
to bring the text to life, all the while uniting it with the musical line.
Three criteria must be met by anyone interested in taking the art of singing seriously;
a voice with the abovementioned characteristics, musicianship, and artistry.
A voice that coincides with the definition of a talented singer is in a sense an innate characteristic.
Yet, both musicianship and artistry may be acquired through immersion in a musical environment and practice.
These are indispensable foundations, ones that are praticularly important in the embarking of one of the most difficult careers."
