I Wanna Be Bobby’s Girl

Paula K. Rudd, 8 yrs old.

My dad said I sang for the first time at nine months old. I remember at about 1 and 1/2 being in a little dog costume, and singing “How Much is That Doggie in the Window” with a bunch of other toddlers.

Voice

Writing Voice, NYC 2007

I look at this as a place to speak. Use voice to claim my space. I’ve always sang, my voice is loud, commanding, also beautiful, soulful, rich and deeply sincere. This is true of my mind, heart and opinions.
