Lowering the tone
Article Abstract:
Julie Andrews spent her childhood in Vaudeville where her mother and stepfather performed together in musicals. She began singing at the age of eight when her range covered five octaves. Lilian Styles Allen taught her, stressing the importance of diction. She finds theatre physically demanding. The Hollywood film world provided the opportunity for Julie to expand her music into a riskier, jazzier style. The films 'S.O.B.' and 'Victor, Victoria' changed her image.
