Singer Natalie Cole Care For The Details Helps Her Stand Out.(A)(Leaders & Success)
Byline: Michael Richman
Investor's Business Daily
There's only one good way to connect with an audience - be yourself. Just ask Natalie Cole.
The eight-time Grammy Award winner believes she must put something personal in her singing to give the audience its money's worth. When performing, she asks herself these questions: Do I sound sincere? Is there a smile or sadness in my voice? Does the audience feel - not just hear - the music?
"I ask myself, 'If there were a bli
nd man listening, what would his sense of me be?' " she wrote in her autobiography with Digby Diehl, "Angel on My Shoulder." "Everything would have to be in the voice. I focus on the feelings my voice expresses. That, to me, iswhere the heart is."
Cole, 50, also feels she must be comfortable with her music. She knows that if she isn't careful, the song can escape the singer and the listener can lose interest.
