The Peruvian singer Yma Sumac, who died earlier this month, was famous for her astonishing singing range, which spanned almost 5 octaves. Jane will discuss the female vocal range and women’s relationship with their voices with the singer Catherine Bott, who has a 2 and a half octave singing range, and voice coach Patsy Rodenberg. They’ll discuss how much your speaking voice reflects your singing voice, and how are women judged by the timbre of their voices.
