Radio 2 Arts Programme On this St David's Day,
Aled Jones investigates the ups and downs of the singing voice in Wales.
Among those giving their opinions are tenor Dennis O'Neil , as he rehearses at the Welsh National Opera, baritone Jason Howard , toning up and tuning up at the gymnasium, and mezzo soprano Della Jones , who wants to rap without damaging her voice. Also, auditioning for the BBC
National Chorus of Wales, and what separates a good singer from a great one? Plus developing the vocal chords at the Welsh College of Music and Drama.
