For the voice students at Wichita State University

[@DrFayesSoundofEnglish]

first thing that came to mind when I first knew of Joyce D, She is 1. intelligent inherently, 2. absolutely musical, and 3. of course good-soul, Thank you, Joyce, You had been such inspirational. I had been quite depressed recently, and watching (almost all of ur) your master classes helped me out of it. I would think about watching more of your master classes and get the energy to live the day. Can you believe it?

[@elizabethfletcher6029]

Not a student but learning still of course... I love every minute of your talks. You give us hope in these so difficult times. Singing with love from the heart...yes. That's what it's about. Thank you for sharing this.

I needed this badly this week. Thank you Joyce for the reminder to embrace lightness and enjoy the process

[@redwoodcitizen]

Loved watching this. Joyce is an extremely talented and intelligent yet unpretentious person, especially given her success.. I am not the target audience for this, I studied singing a long time ago but now I'm just an audience member. But I loved what you had just say, I agree wholeheartedly and wish I had somebody tell me all of this 30 years ago.

[@arlenema_mezzo]

I'm laughing too. Thank you, your smile is regenerating Joyce. You are a wonderful person and artist.

[@ОльгаК-ъ1г]

Thanks a lot for your interesting music lessons!

[@lenorathompson1403]

Women usually scare me, but you Joyce, are one of the exceptions. I love how down-to-Earth and humble you are. How I wish someone had told me "we're all afraid" and "we're all making it up as we go along" twenty years ago! Next week, I'm writing an article based on "The Voice Must Be Heard" for survivors of abuse. Stay tuned.....

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

I believe you can teach better than you give yourself credit for. You know the basics of breath support, using pure vowels to bring brilliance to your voice and the way you teach singers to break down coloratura runs down to avoid getting stuck in a groove or certain tempo is quite brilliant if you ask me! Reading the treatise on voice of Lamperti, Garcia, Mancini, Lilli Lehmann, Caruso and Tetrazzini these will give you everything you need. You're quite wonderful as an artist and masterclass teacher. Plus you've been a huge ally of the LGBTQ community. What's not to love! Stay safe during the pandemic.

Thank you very much, Joice, I love your Videos and thank you very much for your Energy you give us. I send you also a lot of love, creativity and light. Best Regards with love, respect And gratitude Helena Tašnerová, Czech Republic Europe

[@marianadesousa7845]

Thank you for these words, Joyce. So simple, but so real. And we all need that comfort. Thank you. You inspire me very much as an artist and woman. All the best. Kisses form Portugal ❤️

[@divaloulou]

That truly is a lot of love sent, and received, and thrown right back at you! This is the gentle, but clear, kick in the behind that I, that we all need. Times are, at best, uncertain, but there are certitudes: I am a singer and a teacher, and while I may not live in a perfect beach house in Spain, ahem :) I am certain of who I am, and who I want to emerge as from this situation. Thank you very much, stay well, in hopes to see/hear you again, soon! Love, from Québec!

[@ellenmoeller]

Thank you for your gems of wisdom. Cultivate kindness. Love your message. And you! Be well.

[@dir3907]

I will start by writing what I always think every time I see a video of yours, Joyce, or every time I see what you are doing...(including briefly meeting you in person): I love you, Joyce!!! I wanted to be a great opera singer and the process has taken me to be a voice teacher...Yes! Improvisation all the way, improving and learning all the way, it’s a magical way to keep learning! Amazing! I don’t know if I had thoroughly known the voice and learned this much as a singer...Yes! Great time to learn and keep studying about the voice, my students, with more time at and focus at their hands are reaching amazing things. We Will continue to perform, we Will continue to be able to show our art, we will always find the way to be bring music to the people...people love it, have love it and will always love it. We are finding new ways these days. Again, I love you, Joyce! “Did you ever know that you’re my héroe? You’re everything I would like to be...”🎵🎶🎵💕🙏🏼

[@tylerresto]

Thank you, Joyce. I’ve been struggling to find light and this has really sparked inspiration. You’ve always been incredible in that way. Enjoy your time. ♥️

[@GoshGus]

Thank you for your kindness and common sense.

[@monadorn]

Ohhh, such a right things. Thank you sooo much for your thinking! ❤️ Love you 🌟

[@BrianLeevoice]

Thanks for this message, Joyce. Many wonderful things to ponder.

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, dear Joyce.

[@pennycarlisle9526]

Thank you so much JDD - always wise words and always much humanity. Stay safe x

[@tylerlordhamilton252]

What a doll. Your are brilliant. I'd love to collaborate with you. I like your soul and intuition, humility and classiness. I live in L.A. Best, Tyler Lord Hamilton

[@lunetelalune2783]

I’m a huge fan of hers and I live in LA as well.

[@fionnoha]

Thank you so much for sharing this. It's really encouraging to hear these things from you, whether it's a new view or validation of something that's hard to keep on to of right now.

[@hannahminner8087]

This is inspiring, thank you! I love hearing your personal stories as well.

[@arieldowns3109]

Thank you for sharing your heart in such a joyful and generous way. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you someday. I think of you as one of the most inventive and innovative creators in our field. And... Go Chiefs :)

[@lialiniawatychristian.]

Thank you for your sharing.

[@arlenema_mezzo]

Come to NATIONAL OPERA STUDIO in London next year pleeease!!

[@KSJimbo247]

Yes. Extraordinary time. Even this older singer...me, not Joyce...has found a newer, richer sound. Dmitri Hvorostovsky has been a strong, leading influence for me as I've explored my voice in isolation. We can work with the tools we have to reach the next level, the next goal, the next version of ourselves. Thanks, Joyce, for your time and reflections. I'm afraid I won't be hearing you in Kansas City with Palm d'Oro. I hope I'm wrong!

[@whitneymorrison854]

Thank you!

[@angalmeida29]

Thank u so much Joyce

[@caninbar]

For someone who once told me she couldn't teach, she certainly has changed her convictions. Go figure people out!

[@wkolinski28]

What an interesting life, Joyce.

[@RogerNunes1]
