[Worship] vocal training?

Hi Cynthia

When I said that out of tune singers should be spoken to honestly, I
certainly didn't mean to imply that the problem shouldn't be corrected if
possible.  That's always the first choice.  However, if the problem isn't
fixable, encouraging them to find another area of service is, IMO, the next
best option.

Glad you found your voice.

In Christ,
