Broadwaybaby17 (you must get a short name LOL), I might be remembering wrong. I think I too read that a lot of the singing she did early in her life probably damaged her vocal chords. Even though she had a freakish adult voice as a child she probably should not have been singing the way she did and training her voice like she truly was an adult. Anyway, if I come across whatever article I'm thinking about, I'll try to post an excerpt. But for now I just can't remember where I got this impression so that's good to know what you have learned.

Couldn't doing My Fair Lady for four years then almost immediately doing Camelot for two years do some kind of strain on the vocal cords,despite training? Especially when you rarely miss performances? And then come back to do a strenuous musical in your 60s,when you haven't done a musical in decades and you are not a regularly touring performer?
Another question-isn't vocal training for children not necessarily considered a good thing? Of course,if they're in a show,they need to learn how to sing correctly-but extensive vocal training?

It's usually vocal training for boys isn't reccommended until their voice changes. Ear training and stuff is to be done early in life though. You should train children to learn how to sing properly, like breathing, and singing from your diaphragm and stuff. Julie didn't get really extensive training until she was around 12. She was said to have a freak voice because she had like a four and a half octave range...which is almost unheard of. That's like a sopranno, alto, tennor and bass in one! Moljul you could be right too though. But doing a show like My Fair Lady and Camelot isn't like doing Gypsy. It's a very different type of singing. I can sing most of the songs from My Fair Lady and Camelot even when I'm vocally tired or horse, without hurting my voice, as a matter of fact when you have a little vocal strain, it's recommended that you still sing, but only in head voice(which is what most of those songs are in). I cannot however, belt out Everythings coming up Roses at all if my voice hurts.
Bump it with a trumpet!
