Hearing everyone together makes me feel better about my voice personally. We learnt it bit by bit with our singing coaches Emma, Kirsten and Kayleigh.

Spring Awakening
When it came down to having a read through of the play I personally wasn’t satisfied with how the events unfolded, the songs however are the best part to it.
