Dramatic Soprano, Othalie Graham, stresses staying true to your technique, especially with the pressures of the outside world, and different opinions on how a dramatic voice should sound and operate. She emphasizes the importance of knowing your own instrument, and what you should and shouldn’t be doing.

Othalie has performed with companies such as Edmonton Opera, Nashville Opera, Gran Teatro Nacional del Perú, and Asociación Cultural Romanza, in roles such as Turandot, Aida, and Lady Macbeth.
