Its amazing her voice hasn't changed in almost 30 years... Wow. She did Miss Saigon when she was 18, she's 46 now. I don't know how her voice retained its tonal quality... Her vocals are still as crystal-clear, elastic, and theatrical as how they were in her prime... Her diction/phrasing is still always on point... And definitely the best portrayal of Eponine, the Broadway and Disney legend, Ms. Lea Salonga.

Deandre Gimeno. She spends hours a day at work with her voice. Theres no other way to maintain a vocal range and strength as we age without it. After not performing for more than ten years I lost the majority of my 4 oct. Range but after working at home daily, and rehearsels in six months i got it back...and I'm 53.

Lea sounds unbelievable, and you can tell she is absolutely a professional in the way she was able to sound amazing despite the piano situation. Not only was the piano out of tune, but the poor pianist didn’t sound like he had accompanied people frequently because he didn’t follow her very well. But I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, as I suspect he was star struck or nervous! I know I would be!

Your school is very lucky. That woman is a gem. A rare gem. Nothing like her crystal clear voice on this planet. Pitch perfect. It's a shame that a percentage of her own countrymen thinks that belting and screaming is tantamount to good singing. They keep forgetting that a good voice, that the world adores more, is Lea's voice. Clean, crystal without unnecessarily belting and screaming.
